Twenty-five years ago today, Manhattan absorbed a grief too large for any one memory to hold. Instead, the whole city carried it together.

But grief has never been where God leaves the story. At Ground Zero today stands a Callery pear tree, pulled half-burned from the wreckage and nursed back for a decade before it was replanted. It still blooms every spring. Scripture calls this trade “beauty for ashes,” and this city has watched it happen in its own skyline.

We hold heavy hearts and real hope in the same breath. Today. Pray for New York.

God is moving in New York City, and serving is one of the primary ways we can join Him. In this video, one of our city kids volunteers shares what it has meant to play him part in stewarding a space where children can encounter God and be discipled. Every week, our Serve Teams create spaces where people worship, find community, and take their next step toward Jesus. Join a Serve Team today using the link in the bio or text “SERVE” to 212-212.

Join us tomorrow as creative.nyc presents “The New Humanity,” an art gallery featuring eight new works from artists in our church, debuting their pieces with live presentations and performances. Join us on Thursday, September 10 for the opening. The gallery will be open during selected hours and days September 10 to September 24. Check church.nyc/creative for times.

The gallery is free and open to the public, made possible by Church of the City New York’s pursuit of a renewed patronage of the arts—funding and supporting the works on display as a reflection of the deep well of creative talent across every medium in this city.

This Sunday, Pastor Billy closed our FOLLOW series by asking what it would look like to take Jesus’ command to go and make disciples seriously—not as a monumental assignment reserved for pastors or people who have it all together, but as an ordinary part of following Jesus. He began with the sobering stat: The average Christian will make one new disciple every 26 years. With nearly 6 million lost New Yorkers, this approach to discipleship is not sustainable.

God’s discipleship plan is “you!” Pastor Billy said. You already have relationships, access, and places of influence no pastor could replicate. The invitation is to make yourself known as a Christian, ask God for one person to disciple, and look for opportunities to lean in. We do not change heart, Jesus does. Our part is to be faithful with the person He has already placed in front of us.

A Manifesto of Fruitfulness

New York disciples its people through ambition. Etched into the walls of Moynihan Train Hall, the newly renovated front door to the city, is a single word from the New York State seal: Excelsior. It’s Latin for “ever upward,” and while meant as civic pride showcasing New York’s history of excellence, said honestly, in the context of most people’s lives in the city, “ever upward” feels more like a mandate than a cheer.

Most people here live pinned between two unsatisfying options—apathy or ambition—with both ending in defeat.

Jesus offers a third way: fruitfulness. He makes the uncomfortable contrast between what a person produces and what a person’s life produces in somebody else, and in turn, the Kingdom.

Over eleven weeks, we will hear about the 100x life God intends to cultivate in His disciples. Pastor Jon Tyson returns from sabbatical to lead us through the new series, which will kick off at a temporary venue on September 13 at the Palladium in Times Square, with services at 10am and 12pm.

This Sunday, Pastor Raegan continued our FOLLOW series with a teaching on worship. She began with the story of a woman who poured an entire jar of expensive perfume over Jesus. Where the disciples saw waste; Jesus saw worship. But the question beneath the story is not simply what we are willing to give Jesus, it is what we believe He is worth. Pastor Raegan traced worship back to the act of beholding—to giving our attention to Jesus long enough for our vision of Him to be enlarged. Mary’s extravagant offering was not an isolated moment of devotion. It was the natural response of a life that had come to see Jesus as worthy, and when Jesus becomes our highest good, our lives begin to reorder around Him.
