In this sermon from Rev. Benjamin Kandt, part of NewCity Orlando's Preach Your Heart Out series, we are invited to reflect on the profound mercy and patience of God shown in the life of the Apostle Paul. Preaching from 1 Timothy 1:12–17, Rev. Kandt highlights Paul's personal testimony as a model of God's transforming grace. Once a persecutor of the church, Paul becomes a prime example of someone radically changed by the gospel—demonstrating that no one is beyond the reach of Christ's love.Rev. Kandt explores how this passage stirs us to humility and gratitude, reminding us that the Christian life is not grounded in merit but in mercy. Paul's response—worshiping God as King eternal—becomes a call for us to do the same: to live lives shaped by grace and to proclaim that same grace to a world in need of redemption. This message is both deeply personal and widely applicable, encouraging listeners to anchor their confidence in the unshakable faithfulness of God.

In this sermon from NewCity Orlando's Bear Witness series, Pastor Benjamin Kandt explores Jesus' call to mission found in Matthew 9:37–10:5. As Jesus looks on the crowds with compassion, He calls His followers to see the harvest—people in need of the gospel—and to pray for laborers. But remarkably, those who pray become the very ones sent out. The sermon unpacks the connection between compassion, prayer, and being commissioned.Pastor Kandt challenges listeners to reimagine their vocations, neighborhoods, and daily routines as contexts for witnessing to Christ. He emphasizes that ordinary people, not just church leaders, are the answer to the prayer for laborers. The kingdom of God advances through faithful, imperfect disciples who step out in dependence on Jesus. The call to bear witness is both a gift and a responsibility, carried out in the power and presence of Christ Himself.

In this heartfelt sermon from Rev. Ryan Gawrych, the congregation is invited into the deep affection and Christ-centered joy the Apostle Paul expresses for the Philippians. Drawing from Philippians 1:3–11, Rev. Gawrych explores how gospel partnerships create lasting spiritual bonds marked by gratitude, prayer, and mutual encouragement. He emphasizes that Christian fellowship isn't merely social, but spiritual—rooted in our shared participation in the grace of God.Rev. Gawrych also unpacks Paul's confident prayer that God will complete the good work He began in His people. Through this lens, listeners are challenged to see themselves and others not as unfinished projects to be judged, but as beloved co-laborers in whom God is faithfully working. The sermon concludes with a call to pray for one another with affection, asking God to grow our love in knowledge and discernment so we may walk in holiness and bear fruit to the glory of Christ.

In this sermon from NewCity Orlando's Preach Your Heart Out series, Pastoral Intern Connor Bonello explores the surprising strength found in weakness through the words of the Apostle Paul in 2 Corinthians 12:1–10. Paul recounts a profound spiritual experience yet shifts focus to his "thorn in the flesh"—a persistent trial that keeps him dependent on God. Rather than removing the affliction, God assures Paul, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."Connor invites listeners to consider how God's grace meets us not in spite of our weakness but because of it. Rather than striving to escape our limitations, we are called to embrace them as opportunities for Christ's power to rest upon us. In a culture obsessed with strength, competence, and control, this message offers a countercultural hope: that in our frailty, we are not disqualified—but uniquely qualified—to reflect the sufficiency of Christ.
