This Sunday, Pastor Jon continued our sermon series, Making Sense of the Church, by examining the Church as the Bride of Christ, reminding us that the Bible is, at its core, a great love story. Beneath all the striving and ambition of New York City lies a deep-rooted desire of wanting to be loved. While culture tells us we must earn love through achievement, Scripture tells a different story about how our truest identity is found in being loved by God. The invitation is to surrender to this love story, to build our lives on the truth that we are the beloved of Jesus, and to live as His radiant Bride, preparing for the joy that is to come.
