East 91st Street Christian Church

The moment we are born, we are experiencing loss. From that point forward, part of our journey is ongoing loss. How do we work through grief and loss in a way that helps us grow and not diminish our soul?

The journey of life takes many detours, stops along the way, and times when we get stuck. We hit a wall, and we don't know what to do. The Bible makes it abundantly clear that we don't have to stay there; we can journey through the wall.

When you've been cheated, lied to, wounded, damaged--how do you rise above? Here's the key: In order to go forward, you have to go back--not to relive the pain, but to understand it, give it over to God and grow from it.

On the surface of your life, things might look good, but that only represents about 10% of who you are. 90% of your life is underneath. This is what most people can't see, and this is what Jesus is out to transform.

It's a new year, a time for new beginnings. What has happened in the past year that is holding you back? God is doing new things and wants you to move forward with Him.

Christmas is more than just a holiday. Rick takes a look back at the significance of Jesus' birth and what He means for us looking forward.

Christmas is about a baby, but it is also about how God leads us to experience life change.

How do we make sure that we're focused on the right things and that this year we will see that Christmas is more than a story and more than things.

Do you want more than your current salary? More than a mediocre marriage? More than a listless job? Do you want Christmas to be more than just shopping, parties, eggnog and sweaters? Today we focus on how Christmas is more than just a story.

How do we know what to pray for? How do we know what's best? Rick unpacks some very practical steps to improving your prayer life.

Colossians 4:2-6 is the text Eric uses to instruct us on how to pray in unity.

If you want those you love to have a full understanding of every good thing they have in Christ, you should pray that they would be active in sharing their faith.

How do we pray with power and passion in a way that helps us grow in our intimacy with God?

What is the key to happiness and peace? Dave explores several possibilities and comes to the only real conclusion.

Ecclesiastes 9-11 says that there is a better way than adopting a hopeless, cynical, despairing worldview that can paralyze us from being all that God wants us to be.

Our worldview impacts how we compare and contrast meaning in the world. In the book of Ecclesiastes, we look at Reality vs. Superficiality and The Outcome of the Righteous vs. The Wicked.

Real-time Living is important because your days are few, enjoyment of each day is a gift as well as an opportunity.

What's your perspective on life? On God? On relationships? Rick looks at Solomon's "under the sun" and "above the sun" perspectives.

Timing matters! "For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven..."
