The service also emphasizes fellowship, communion, stewardship, and mission engagement.

Restoration L.A. - Live StreamAug 2026

Angela Benjafield begins a new series, 'Tables of Transformation,' using the story of David and Mephibosheth to illustrate how the king's table models Jesus' invitation. The sermon highlights three transformations available at the king's table—acceptance, restoration (identity and inheritance), and relationship—and challenges listeners to identify and remove barriers that keep them from regularly feasting with Jesus. Practical encouragement focuses on choosing the table daily, receiving grace in brokenness, and relying on Jesus for fresh spiritual nourishment rather than stale or secondhand devotion.

FREED | Rejection - Sam Gibson

Church of the City New YorkJun 2026

Pastor Sam Gibson teaches from Romans 8 that rejection is inevitable for Christians, but God uses it to form us. The solution to being shaped by rejection or enslaved by the need for human recognition is the Spirit of adoption—receiving identity, status, and inheritance in Christ so we can respond to rejection from the place of being beloved. He contrasts the imposter/orphan self (performance, people-pleasing, needing recognition) with the beloved/adopted self (secure, free to risk, rooted in the Father's love) and issues practical invitations to receive healing and be reborn into that reality.
