Listen to a Sermon | Culturally Relevant Church in NYC

Each Sunday, one of our pastors gives a sermon that explores how faith can enhance our lives. To do this, we get insights from the Bible and link to our current world. Each sermon is about 30 minutes long and includes "practical suggestions" that we can try out in our daily lives.

If you're curious about what our sermons are like, or if you missed last week and want to catch up, this is the place for you! You can click to listen to recent sermons below. You can also explore our sermon archives and subscribe to our sermon podcasts on SoundCloud at RiverNYC Sermons or through our River NYC app (iOS / Android).
