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.

Hey Family, In the midst of our stressful lives, every one of us seeks relief of some kind. We each have something that we go to thinking it will make us happy and fulfilled. Some of us will sacrifice the very people we love for the sake of pursuing that thing. But the Bible has another way. It's the way of WORSHIP. Not worshiping something that will only take away from us and leave us empty in the end, but worshiping God, who provides all good things. Please join us this week as we continue our series on the Purpose Driven Life and talk about true worship--the most fundamental purpose of our lives. --Edwin

tarting over again and again is not the problem for the person who wants change in their life. The famous author Mark Twain once said that quitting smoking was easy for him, he did it a thousand times. That quote might be funny and we can all identify with it, but there's nothing funny about not following through with something that we all know is good for us and will benefit our lives, families, relationships, and future hopes and dreams. Join us this Sunday as we learn from God's word about how to finish well.This final part of our Game Plan series will have a lot of applications for many areas of life. We will all benefit from God's wisdom on how to stick to a plan. Invite your dogs, any space aliens you may have living in your home, or just bring a friend.;-)

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.

And on Sunday we begin a new series called "The Game Plan." We've all made New Year's resolutions--and then failed with them. Why? Because we try to rely on our own strength. We'll be learning about a new game plan--what happens when we rely on God for direction, strength, and fulfillment in our lives. The series will kick off with Pastor Ray speaking, I hope you enjoy. --Edwin

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.

Hey Family, What happens when God's love fills you? When it really consumes you? Not when you theorize about it or imagine or make believe.... What impact does the love of God have on someone? What mark does it leave? That's what Pastor Raymond will be sharing with us this Sunday at RHOW Brooklyn.

We've been in our series "The Way of Love" for several weeks now, and more and more people are coming to hear the truths that the Bible reveals about love. We've learned that God is love and that his love is what the world needs.
