This week we took time to celebrate and remember all God has done in and through our church during 2024, and heard a timely message from Pastor Jon Tyson about the heart transforming power of Christ, and the gift of peace He offers this Christmas. We are so thankful for our community in New York and beyond and hope to see you in the New Year!

Welcome to Church of the City New York's Advent Devotionals.

Jesus was good news in the first century, and He is still good news today.

One of the most iconic passages read during the Advent season comes from Isaiah 9, where the Prophet proclaims the light has dawned for those living in darkness, a child will be born, and a son will be given, the Messiah, who will bring peace with God and with mankind by ruling on David's throne. We hope that during this season everyone listening will gain a renewed desire to walk in intimacy with Jesus and to boldly proclaim the story of God's Son to others.

This Sunday, Pastor Jon Tyson closed out our Advent series, To Us a Son is Given, with a teaching on Jesus as the Son of God and the true story of Christmas. Jesus’ life fulfilled the prophecies about the Messiah, His ministry was marked by power and the miraculous, and even His suffering on the cross revealed His divine nature. This is the cornerstone of the Christmas story, that God’s one and only Son took on flesh and came to earth to be with His people.

This Sunday, Pastor Jon Tyson continued our Advent Series with a teaching on Jesus as the Son of Man. During the Christmas season, we often tell stories of hearts changing for the better, but what does it take for a heart to truly change? In our teaching text from Matthew’s gospel, two disciples’ mother ask Jesus to grant them seats of honor in His kingdom, but Jesus disrupts their understanding of greatness, servanthood, and sacrifice by showing them the path to true greatness—through hearts that are changed through humility.
