Thanks for joining us for the Church of the City, New York podcast.

You are tuning into a series called Controversial Faith, where we are looking at some of the most

pressing but often neglected issues around discipleship and secularism in our world today.

We hope that these sermons strengthen you, inspire you, and give you a vision for following

Jesus more passionately and more faithfully.

If we can serve you in any way, you can reach out at hello at church.

not nyc and check out our website at church.n.yc too.

We are going to jump into this week's teaching in just a moment, but we wanted you to know

that we have a whole series of open positions to join our team here in New York City

on staff at our church.

If you want to find out more about being on staff at a church with a radical vision, a huge heart for New York City,

and a commitment to making disciples

in the midst of a secular culture while contending

for a move of God in our time.

We'd love to hear from you.

You can go to church.nysc slash jobs

for more information about the positions that are available.

Okay, let's get back to the teaching.

Our teaching text today comes from Acts 4, verses 10 through 12.

Then know this, you and all the people of Israel, It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth,

whom you crucified, but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed.

Jesus is the stone you builders rejected, which has become the cornerstone.
