East 91st Street Christian Church

All of us can be leaders in our own spheres of influence. But how can we live out our faith in an increasingly post-Christian culture? How can Christians influence others if we’re known more for what we’re against than what we’re for?

If you’re going to be a positive leader within your sphere of influence, it all begins with faith. Are you willing to believe when others don’t? How can you demonstrate faithfulness in the face of adversity? Will you be faithful to do what is right...

At times our rebel hearts or difficult circumstances may cause us to question God’s love. What can we learn from the book of Jonah about God’s ongoing love for His people?

Life can seem very complicated. How can we simplify things? Is it really possible to approach life with childlike faith?

Where do we get the power to live our lives “on mission”? How do we get the strength to connect with people, serve them, share with them, and help them grow in the Christian life? Jesus put it this way: “Pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest”...

After you become a Christian, your mission in life doesn’t end; it’s just getting started! What does it take to keep growing in your faith—and to help others grow in theirs?

The word witness in Scripture is almost always a noun, not a verb. “Witness” is not something you do. A witness is who you are. But at some point we all need to share our faith with people who need to hear the gospel. How can we do this in a way...

One of the challenges facing Christians in our culture today is how to engage with people who might not believe what we believe. How can we live our lives on mission in such a way that we connect with people who aren’t connected to Christ?

What is your mission in life? God has a purpose for each of us, but sometimes a “life on mission” sounds uncomfortable or we simply don’t know how to go about sharing our faith. It all starts with developing a heart for people who don’t know Christ.

Do you ever feel like you’re facing an unreasonably difficult situation? And you don’t have the resources you need to succeed? The story of Gideon shows how one man was able to overcome great odds by relying on God’s power instead of his own strength.

We all love hearing about the underdog. The story of Gideon gives us hope that God can use average, normal, ordinary people like us to make a difference in the world.

In our age of pluralism and tolerance, it sounds narrow—even arrogant—to suggest that Christ alone is the way, the truth, and the life. Is Jesus is the only way to salvation?

Do you ever wonder why you exist at all? Do you ever feel trapped, as if your life has no real purpose? The Bible answers our questions from the foundation of relationship and the bedrock of trust.

If God is good . . . and just . . . and powerful . . . and wise . . . why does He allow us to suffer? Why is there so much pain and hardship, tragedy and heartache in this world?

The truth of Christianity rises or falls on the identity of Jesus of Nazareth. What evidence indicates that Jesus is really the Son of God? And if it’s true, why is this fact relevant to our lives today?

Critics of Christianity maintain that the Bible isn’t worthy of our trust. What evidence shows that the Bible is reliable?

Is faith in God just a hand-me-down tradition that we picked up from our parents? Is it based on wishful thinking or a blind leap of faith? What evidence shows that faith in God makes sense?

Easter is a time for rejoicing and celebration, but if we’re honest, it also raises some tough questions about what we believe about God and life after death. When doubts arise about your faith, how should you handle them?

Life requires a lot of preparation. But how do we prepare ourselves for Easter?
