New City Fellowship Sermons

Our Need; His Sacrifice | Mark 10

In our eleventh sermon in the Follow Me series, Pastor John opens up Mark 10 and explores why people want to be good and fulfilled, but overlook their "badness" and emptiness. Jesus sees the need of people who have holes in their soul and offers healing through His own sacrificial suffering.

The Power-Filled Church | Mark 9

Pastor John opens Mark 9:14-29 and talks about how self-reliance kills spiritual power. But faith, even weak faith, that is pointed at Jesus, fills a church with power as it advances against the darkness.

John also shares how he saw his own self-reliance while preparing to preach, and admits the congregation was right to call him out on something he said the week before.

The Transfiguration | Mark 9

Guest speaker Winston Williams explains the meaning and implications of the Transfiguration from Mark 9.

Shift | Mark 8

Pastor John unpacks the shift, a turning point in Mark's Gospel in Jesus teaching about Himself and the disciples understanding. Jesus will not be tamed. Yet we try to tame Him. Jesus doesn't end up being tamed, but we do. A shift is needed.

God Wants My Heart? | Mark 7

Pastor Gordon Woolard opens Mark 7 to explore our tendency to rely on superficial traditions to be spiritual. But superficial traditions only deal with superficial sins. God wants more. He wants our hearts.

Frozen or Free? | Genesis 45 & 50

Pastor John visits Pastor Anthony Sanders and Higher Vision Ministries, New City's neighboring church in Hallandale. Focusing on the conclusion of the Joseph story, he asks the question, "Are you frozen by the pain of the past? Or are you freed to forgive and move forward by faith into the future?"

Jesus. For the Many. For the Few | Mark 6:30-52

Chad opens the stories of Jesus feeding the 5,000 and walking on water from Mark 6 to show us the great compassion of Jesus for those we are reaching for Jesus, but also the great compassion and care He has for us as His disciples.

Offended | Mark 6:1-13

Pastor John explores Mark 6 and asks the questions, "Is Jesus offensive?" and "Should followers of Jesus be offensive people?"

Hearing with Your Heart | Mark 4:1-20

Pastor John explores Mark 4:1-20 and the Parable of the Sower. You'll hear about the "mosquito tone", the first American missionary, and a testimony from someone who bore fruit in their life by holding onto the message of Jesus.

The Spiritual Power of Jesus | Mark 1:21-45

Pastor Macklann Basse, visiting from Togo in West Africa, preaches about Jesus being Lord over all things, including the spiritual realm. Macklann shares stories from ministry in West Africa, and about the power of Jesus.
