Summary
This past Sunday, Pastor Jon kicked off a new sermon series called "The Way of Jesus." He warned us against the ways our fallen world can trap and form our hearts through lusts, pride, and toxic religion, and instead spurred us to follow in the way of Jesus so that we can be formed, transformed, and conformed to His likeness. We were created to enjoy God and walk with Him, imaging our Creator, and living in the way of Jesus fulfills our ultimate destiny of experiencing the our fully formed selves living with Christ in us.

| 0:03.6 | Wanted to take a moment just to say thank you to everybody who listens along to this podcast |
| 0:08.6 | around the city and around the world. We really had a remarkable year in the history of our church |
| 0:15.1 | this year. We've seen more people come to Christ than ever. And God is drawing near to our church. And I just wanted to just say thanks |
| 0:24.0 | for being a part of our listening and online community. And to remind all of you that we are doing an |
| 0:30.3 | offering this year called Living the Liturgy. Every week in our church, we say a liturgy asking God |
| 0:35.5 | to form our hearts out of mammon, greed and overconsumption |
| 0:38.8 | into being people who live by faith, give generously and trust the Lord with our finances. |
| 0:44.9 | And I just wanted to invite those of you who are part of our online community to consider giving to that. |
| 0:50.5 | We are getting ready for another really amazing year here in New York and we are so grateful for |
| 0:57.7 | the encouragement, prayers and support that we hear from so many who listen into this. |
| 1:02.1 | So I would ask you just to consider praying and asking the Lord if he would have you be one |
| 1:07.6 | of our partners who help the mission of God continue through New York City. |
| 1:12.8 | We wish everybody who listened would come and move to New York and join us, but we realize |
| 1:17.2 | that's not everybody's call and it's not possible. But you can join us in prayer and support |
| 1:23.9 | and enable what happens here in the city to be a part of your ministry legacy |
| 1:29.0 | and your spiritual fruit. So you can go to church.m.m.c slash give if you'd like to be a part |
| 1:36.5 | of that. And thanks so much for everything you do to listen along, pray for us, support us, and encourage |
| 1:42.4 | us. Okay, let's get back to the podcast. Thanks so much |
