Russell Joyce planted Hope Brooklyn and now leads Faith Center Eugene, one of the most significant churches in Oregon. My friend Bill Gross discipled him as a young man at Hope Chapel Apex, NC. After graduating from seminary, he and a small team planted a church affiliated with Drew Hyun, Edwin Colon and New City Network. Part of Russell's story involves Edwin's generosity when he offered free meeting space (a rare commodity in New York) to a church centered a location just two blocks away. That generosity characterizes New City Network.Around the time the Spirit began nudging him to hand off the Brooklyn church, he was asked to assume the leadership of Faith Center – during COVID.He describes the strength he gained via the trials of the pandemic and its attendant isolation, along with the charge from the previous pastor, Steve Overman, him to be his own man rather than give place to the giants who had gone before him. Besides leading the Eugene congregation, Russell heads “Foursquare Multiply” the church planting arm of that denomination. He describes their efforts as a trellis to aid others as their vine grows to fruitfulness. A mutual friend brought us together, so I first met Russell in this interview. But it felt like meeting an old friend partly due to shared values but also because our lives were shaped by some of the same people. Russell pastors the church planted by my friend and “older brother” Roy Hicks Jr. It was Roy who set the bar for church planting in our early years in Hermosa. Steve Overman, who followed Roy and now supports Russell, is an admired friend. Bill Gross came up in Hope Chapel Hermosa during my last few years there – and he continues to influence me when we interact.You may ask yourself, “Isn't a lot of name-dropping happening here?” There is!It's because meeting Russell so underscored how we're “no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and are of God's household, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the cornerstone, in whom the whole building, being fitted together, is growing into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also are being built together into a dwelling of God in the Spirit.”You can connect with Russell through the email at faithcenter.org. his Instagram or foursquaremultiply.com.

Hey family, This Sunday, April 2, is Palm Sunday--the day that commemorates Jesus riding into Jerusalem on a young donkey as hundreds cheer and praise him. Jesus entered the city knowing he would be tried and crucified. Still he welcomed his fate, knowing that he would rise from the grave and save us all from sin. Palm Sunday is the beginning of Holy Week, the remembrance of Jesus' last days. Good Friday will be this coming Friday, the 7th, and Easter is April 9. Please take this opportunity to bring friends and family to praise God for sending His son to earth, and our eternal life in Christ Jesus. --Edwin ANNOUNCEMENTS Good Friday service—Friday, April 7 7 p.m. (doors open 6:30) EASTER SERVICE—Sunday, April 9, 10 a.m. Kids’ Church, 10 a.m. every week for ages 5 – 12.

Hey family, Some of the most crushing insults we ever receive come from parents, teachers, or friends—but there’s nothing more debilitating than the kind of language we use on ourselves. This is self-hatred. A negative script that runs through our mind can make it impossible to move forward in relationships, find a new job, even dream for better things. This week we’re going to be talking about self-hatred, and how the gospel can banish that awful concept from our lives. Please come and bring a friend.

Hey family, Last week was a very emotional service. We started to examine times when we’ve been hurt, places where we feel justified to feel real bitterness and rage due to the harsh things that have been done to us – perhaps in the past, maybe even now in the present. As we looked at this, we saw that the religious response of stuffing down our feelings with platitudes that are hollow in the midst of tears is not helpful. Neither is exploding and releasing all our anger on the institutions, individuals, or systems that have harmed us. This week we’re going to take another deep dive into anger and discover how the scriptures can help us not only heal, but even use anger as a tool to grow in peace and trust in the Lord. I hope to see you—and please invite a friend as we continue in our series, MODERN PROBLEMS, ANCIENT SOLUTIONS. We’ll see you at 10 a.m. Sunday at 360 Schermerhorn St. --Edwin ANNOUNCEMENTS Kids’ Church begins at 10 a.m. for ages 5 – 12. Zoom Bible study: The Ten Commandments.

Hey family, We’ve started this series, MODERN PROBLEMS, ANCIENT SOLUTIONS, with the idea that you and I face difficult emotions that result in insecurity, fear, and lives that are spent making the same mistakes over and over again. In the last two weeks we’ve discussed what shame is, how it affects us, and how we can combat it. Come this Sunday as we continue to address these most difficult emotions--and how the Gospel is the remedy to all the emotions that hurt us. Invite a friend, because difficult emotions face ALL of us. --Edwin ANNOUNCEMENTS Kids’ Church begins at 10 a.m. for ages 5 – 12. Zoom Bible study: The Ten Commandments.

a look at parenting and how we can invest in raising our children in a way that brings them (and us) joy and God glory. If your kids are all grown or you don’t have kids, this is still going to be very meaningful, as we hear what God’s word says about directing and raising our children with our friends and family.
