Zion is a new church in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. Our team is native born New Yorkers who love Jesus and want to spread his message.
This week, we're in a heavy but important passage—God sends a prophet to confront Eli and his sons for choosing self over honoring Him. God's grace is real, but so are the consequences when we ignore it. This is a wake-up call to live with reverence, honor God above all, and remember: His will always wins.
This week, we're looking at a powerful contrast—how God responds to unbelief vs. faithful worship. One leads to life and reward, the other to judgment. It's a cautionary reminder: how we respond to God matters. Let's be people who honor Him with our lives, not just our lips.
We're looking at what it really means to invest in what matters. Jesus taught that our money follows our values so if we care about lasting impact, it should show in how we live and give. This message is about shifting our focus from short-term stuff to things that make a difference forever,our growth. Let's rethink our financial faithfulness in light of God's design for His Church.
We're talking about something that's both biblical and practical—supporting those who serve in ministry. Scripture says the worker is worthy of their wages, and our giving isn't just obedience—it's a blessing to the Church and to ourselves. This isn't about guilt—it's about growth. Let's rethink our financial faithfulness in light of God's design for His Church.
This week, we're talking tithing—and how it reveals the way we see the church. Is it God's house or just another stop on your weekly to-do list? When we give, we're not just funding a building—we're fueling a mission. Let's shift from consumers to co-laborers and give in a way that honors Jesus. Listen in to hear more.
We're talking about money, but not the way the world does. God owns it all, and we're called to use it for His purposes, not just our own. Ready for a heart check? Let's learn what it really means to store up treasure in heaven! Listen to hear more!
