I feel so guilty. I'm so ashamed. I did it again. How many times have we said this to ourselves after we've messed up and sinned and gone astray? And when we sin against God, we find ourselves having decisions to make in order to get back on track. That's why in this new series, Aftermath, we're going to find out what to do once we've messed up. How does God respond to us, and what steps should we take? Join us this Sunday at 10 a.m.and invite a friend.

Hey Family, This Sunday we close out our True Love series, which I hope has been a blessing to you. In this last week of the series we will be talking about how sometimes love hurts. There's no escaping that...and it was never more true than in the story of what Christ did for us, pursuing us out of love even unto his death on the cross in our place. Come and hear about this greatest love of all, and bring someone you love.

We hope you have been learning and growing in our new series called TRUE LOVE. We've learned that Christ shows us the only true model for how to love others. This week in Part 3 of our series we welcome guest pastor Zac Martin of Trinity Grace Park Slope. We all want to live a life that matters, and we all want to be happy. But if we are honest about it, we often find ourselves living a life filled more with frustration. Come this Sunday at 10 a.m. as we look at John 15 and discover together what it means to live a fruitful life instead of settling for a frustrated life. --Edwin

Hey Family, Last Sunday we began a new series called TRUE LOVE. We all want to be loved--but often our relationships leave us in tears. Love is one of the most powerful emotions that we can experience, but it's also something we need to learn. Understanding the meaning of true love will affect how we function in our marriages, deal with our children, and approach relationships with others. Jesus will grow us in our ability to love, and I believe He will use this series to help it happen. So I look forward to seeing you this Sunday at 10 a.m.--and bring someone you love.

Happe Easter

Hey Family, As Easter approaches, we truly hope you have been blessed by our series on the Purpose Driven Life. We will spend this Sunday speaking about one of the greatest gifts we can have in our lives. That is when we find our mission, that thing that we're meant to spend our lives doing. Discovering our mission means the difference between waking up in the morning but dreading the day--and springing out of bed in the morning, excited about what we've been called to do. This Sunday we will talk about our mission. And as you'll learn when we meet on Sunday, that mission does not just have consequences for a time, but for eternity. I hope to see you at 10 a.m. as we speak about working together to accomplish the mission Jesus gave to his church--that's you and me. --Edwin

Hey Family, Every one of us is a perfect 10 at something. Unfortunately, many of us go through life without ever discovering what it is. God made us to excel by giving each of us a set of particular gifts and abilities. He wants them to be used for his glory and our joy. So don't miss this Sunday as we discover what our next purpose is, in our journey toward The Purpose Driven Life. --Edwin

Hey Family, No one is ever born with his or her skills completely developed and ready to be used. And even people who are born with certain talents benefit greatly from being coached and apprenticed. This is also true in our Christian walk. When we become born again we become part of a family thousands of years old--a family that wants to help us to grow into all that God wants us to be. This Sunday we'll talk about what growing into the likeness of Christ looks like, and how we can do life together in order to reach that heavenly goal.

Hey Family, You are not alone! Sometimes that's a tough statement to believe, because so often in our lives we DO feel alone, even when there are others around us. The Bible says we are the church, created to do life with one another--sharing happiness when things go well, mourning with each other when pain comes. You don't want to miss this installment of our new series, The Purpose Driven Life, as we talk about the second purpose for which we are created: Fellowship. This is not a message you should hear alone! Bring a friend or family member.

And this Sunday our series called "The Game Plan" continues as we talk about how important it is to be part of a team. God gave the Christian the church so that together we can enjoy fellowship and serve God--for his glory, our joy, and that the nations may be glad. There is no such thing as a "Lone Ranger" Christian. We are meant to go through life as part of the body of Christ, celebrating joys and successes and supporting each other through heartache and failure. So bring a friend at 10 a.m. and introduce them to what it means to be part of a church family.

Hey Family, Sometimes life comes at us with such a speed that it takes great wisdom to figure out how to react. What do we do when tragedy strikes, or financial struggles pop up out of nowhere, when our children stray or sickness strikes unexpectedly? What decisions should we make, how should we proceed? In moments like this it's great to have a quarterback to direct us and give us the instruction that we need while the plays are being made. Come join us this week as we speak about the importance of getting direction in the crucial moments of life we all must face. . --Edwin

Hey Family, Many of us have heard about the playbooks that sports teams use to guide their plays and win games. But did you know that Christians too have a playbook? It guides us in how we live our lives, make decisions, create relationships and plan for the future. This week we're going to talk about the Christian playbook and how using it will result in joy that we never thought possible. I look forward to seeing you there--and be sure to invite a friend! --Edwin

This week all the RHOW churches will continue in the "Game Plan" series that began last week. Join us as Pastor Gus speaks about how Jesus Christ is our Coach as we walk in victory. --Edwin Copyright © 2016 Recovery House of Worship _ Brooklyn, All rights reserved.

Hey Family, We've been celebrating God's PRESENCE in our lives in this latest series. When life is at its toughest, he is at his closest. He breaks through even in the midst of our worst circumstances. And he's the one who knows us best--but he still loves us the most! Tonight at our Christmas Eve service we'll talk about how God uses the most unlikely people to reveal himself. May you and your families experience the many blessings of Christmas!

Christmas is only a few days away. This Sunday will be our Christmas service, and your presence is requested! Join us as we continue our series called PRESENCE. We've learned that when life is at its toughest, God is at his closest. We also came to understand that God will break through whatever situation we're in, in order to love us.

We've just started a new series called Presence. Last we we talked about how, when life is at its toughest, God is at his closest. This week we're going to dig deeper into that concept. The holidays can be a challenge for many people. We can be missing family members who are no longer with us, or we can be far away from those we love. Join us this Sunday, when we talk more about how to receive comfort and joy from God himself, in these tough times. --Edwin

ecember always seems to fly by as we look for gifts, plan parties, get together with friends and enjoy our families. But as Christians, December should be the opportunity to look back on our year and thank God for all he's done for us. And as we look forward to the 25th, our first thought should be that we celebrate and rejoice because of the great gift God gave us in his son. This Sunday we begin a new series called PRESENCE. I hope to see you all there, and please bring family and friends.

We've been talking about how to share our faith with others. If Christ has truly changed our lives, that means we have a story to tell. So far in our series called Thanks for Sharing, we've learned about sharing our story with others and opening the door for them to continue the conversation. What happens if they bring up objections? That's our topic this week--how to respond to argument or rejection, humbly and in the spirit of Christ.

Last week we talked about how to "start the conversation" with people we love and care about but don't yet believe in Christ. We all want our loved ones to join in the most important relationship of our lives. Step 1: Tell your story! Tell them what Christ has done in your life--and then stop. This week, we'll continue our brand-new series called "Thanks for Sharing" by moving on to Step 2! We'll dive deeper and learn further to what it means to share with others the joy of being in Christ. It's a great time to bring friends and family.

We all have friends and family that we speak to every day and love with all our hearts, but are not enjoying the beautiful fellowship that we have with Christ Jesus--the most important friendship we can ever have. We'll be speaking over the next few weeks about how we can invite others into that friendship. How do we engage our families, our friends and co-workers, in such a way that helps to introduce them to the love of our lives? Come and find out how Jesus can use you to change people's lives, not only for a time but for eternity.
