Does your love for God feel stale or dull compared to when you first got saved? In “From Falling To Standing In Love,” Dr. Nathan Kassas explains that God is moving us from the excitement of falling in love with Jesus to the lifelong love of standing in covenant, from “I want You” to “I need You.” Using Peter’s journey of failure and restoration, he shows why feelings fade, why intensity is not intimacy, and how to stop fighting to be loved and rest in the finished work of the cross. Join TORCC NY for this Sunday message on identity in Christ, endurance, and building a love for God that lasts.

Does God trust you with more? In “Character: Stewardship or Squandering,” Dr. Tony Kassas teaches that God wants to give us more, but He entrusts more only to those who steward what they already have instead of claiming it as their own. Drawing on Joseph, Cornelius, and the Prodigal Son, he shows how character is shaped through people, why faithfulness in small things matters, and why the flesh must be crucified so the Holy Spirit can work in us. Join TORCC NY for this Sunday message on humility, serving with a son’s heart, and preparing for what God has ahead.

Are you living as a son who demands your rights, or as a son who serves with a grateful heart? In "Sons By Position, Servants By Attitude," Dr. Tony Kassas teaches from the parable of the Prodigal Son in Luke 15, showing how entitlement leads to a far country while humility and gratitude lead to the Father's house. He also draws on Joseph, Elisha, and Ananias and Sapphira to show why God tests our character before entrusting us with more money, authority, and influence. Join TORCC NY for this Sunday PM message on the circumcision of the heart, a posture of privilege, and the Father's unconditional love.

Have you lost hope while waiting on a promise from God? In "Hope," Dr. Tony Kassas teaches from 1 Corinthians 13 on why hope is the expectation of God's goodness in your future, and why it begins with the unconditional love of the Father. Using Abraham's 25-year wait, Joseph, and Moses, he shows how failure never cancels God's love, how hope is renewed before faith, and why every vision must pass through the cross. Join TORCC NY for this message to rekindle hope, trust God's timing, and live as if your promise has come.

In this message, Dr. Nathan explores the shift from Interruption to Installation—moving beyond simply breaking old patterns to intentionally putting on the new. Through Scripture, neuroscience, psychology, and powerful biblical imagery, discover how obedience retrains old predictions, relocates trust from what you know to Who you know, and establishes a new reference point for how you think, respond, and live. Interruption makes room. Obedience installs the new.

In this special service, our senior leader Dr. Robyn Kassas shares her testimony of what God did in her life in just one weekend: physical healing, deliverance, and freedom from trauma she had carried for decades. Hear how the body of Christ prayed, how the Holy Spirit revealed the root of the trauma, and how God restored her soul. Others share what they received from the word, and Dr. Robyn calls everyone to stop carrying trauma alone, ask the Lord for help, and get free. Join TORCC NY for this message of healing, deliverance, and restoration.

Comparing yourself to others will pull you away from what God has for you. In "Comparison," Dr. Tony Kassas teaches from 2 Corinthians 10 and 12 on the snare of comparison, and on staying in your lane and stewarding your God-given portion. Using Peter and John, Cain and Abel, and the Parable of the Talents, he shows that God rewards faithfulness and not comparison. Join TORCC NY for this message on contentment, calling, and freedom from covetousness and jealousy.

In this message, Dr. Nathan Kassas unpacks the first stage of renewing the mind—interruption—revealing why revelation can come in a moment but true transformation only comes through repeated interruption of old patterns. Drawing from Romans 12:2 and Daniel 10:12-13, he shows how God can deliver us instantly, yet we must still learn how to live delivered by starving the brain’s prediction mechanism and breaking the rehearsal of familiar thoughts for a full 21-day cycle. Rooted in both Scripture and the science of neuroplasticity, the teaching challenges every believer to stop trying to install new fruit before the old has been interrupted, and to begin a deliberate 21-day journey of recognition, pause, and Spirit-led interruption so lasting change can finally take root.

In this panel message, Dr. Robyn Kassas and TORCC Senior Leadership introduce believers to a true Spirit-to-Spirit encounter with the Holy Spirit rather than one rooted in the flesh. Drawing from Ephesians 4∶30 and the gift of tongues, they reveal why the Holy Spirit was given as the seal of our spirit until the day of redemption, and how praying in the heavenly language allows the Spirit to bypass layers of emotion, memory, and self-effort. Rooted in the call to put the flesh to death and renew the mind, the teaching challenges every believer to stop neglecting this personal gift and begin praying in the Spirit regularly so they may experience the protection, healing, and supernatural reality He brings.

In this message, Dr. Tony Kassas explores the five stages of true discipleship drawn from Jesus’ words in Matthew 11∶29—“Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me.” Using the powerful image of a young ox being trained alongside an experienced one, he shows how the Holy Spirit leads believers from simply watching ministry, to assisting, to being assisted and corrected, to ministering independently, and finally to being released to disciple others. Rooted in humility and teachability rather than self-effort, the sermon calls every believer to stop resisting the Spirit’s gentle leading so they can experience the easy yoke and light burden Christ promised.

Are the effects of yesterday still shaping your reactions today and threatening to infect tomorrow? In this message, Dr. Nathan Kassas and Dr. Robyn Kassas walk through the 8 steps of healing—from Effect to Affect, Detect, Inspect, Collect, Correct, Reject, and finally Protect or Infect—using Jacob’s life to show how past wounds become patterns that compensation can never fully heal. God is inviting you into a season of detection so that yesterday’s giants lose their power and you can walk into your promised land with a new identity and a renewed nervous system.

In “You Are Gods: Life’s Greatest Temptation,” Dr. Tony Kassas delivers a piercing message on the subtle danger of self-rule—the real root behind our anxiety, control, fear, and offense. Drawing from a personal Holy Spirit revelation and John 10, he shows how we climb onto the throne that belongs only to God, contrasting Lucifer’s self-enthronement with Jesus’ total surrender. This is a call to come off the throne, obey, and let Christ live through us.

In this powerful message, Dr. Tony and Dr. Nathan unpack how the Western and American gospel has been reshaped by comfort, tolerance, and self-fulfillment—often at the expense of Jesus’ radical call to repentance and the cross. Drawing from Matthew 5:3-12 (the Beatitudes) and Matthew 10:34-39, they connect the true gospel’s emphasis on mourning for the lost, hungering for righteousness, peacemaking paired with persecution, and taking up our cross with the real-life cost of following Jesus. Dr. Tony shares the powerful story of how the Lord led him and his family to plant this church in New York City, highlighting an un-American gospel that is real, relevant, and relational—centered on truth spoken in love. Learn how Jesus loved sinners before they changed yet always called them to transformation – “Go and sin no more” – distinguished between the sinner and the sin, and taught that we love Him more than family or comfort. This balanced message reminds us that the true gospel expects persecution for righteousness’ sake and daily crucifixion to self, while the Western version offers comfort without the cross.

In this compelling sermon, Dr. Tony Kassas explores Numbers chapter 12 and asks the key question: “What is the issue behind all of my issues?” Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of his marriage to an Ethiopian woman. But God revealed that this was not the real issue. Their complaint masked a deeper problem of jealousy, rivalry, and insecurity over Moses’ unique face-to-face relationship with the Lord.Dr. Tony teaches how believers often use secondary or religious-sounding concerns to hide underlying resentment, offense, comparison, and insecurity. He shows how unresolved undergirding issues create recurring cycles in our lives and churches until we allow the Holy Spirit to address the root causes. Drawing from personal testimony and biblical examples like Absalom and King Saul, he calls us to receive godly rebuke, stay in the lane God has assigned us, promote others without jealousy, and prioritize a genuine relationship with the Holy Spirit.The message addresses family dynamics in ministry, the danger of weaponizing secondary issues, and the freedom that comes from honesty before God.If you struggle with recurring issues, hidden comparison, or feeling overlooked while others walk closely with God, this sermon will challenge you to let the Word act as a mirror and pursue true spiritual maturity.

Who are you really choosing every day—Barabbas or Jesus? In this prophetic, Jesus-centered teaching, “Who Do You Choose?” Dr. Robyn and Dr. Nathan Kassas unpack Mark 15 and the shocking moment when the crowd chose Barabbas—the “son of the father”—over the true Son of God. Drawing from Barabbas’ name, the Passover context, and the silence of Jesus before Pilate, they reveal how believers still choose a Jesus that looks like us—our pain, offense, control, performance, and comfort—rather than the real Christ who calls us to transformation. Dr. Nathan combines Scripture with neuroscience to explain how the brain is an “agreement machine,” wired to cling to what feels safe and familiar. You’ll learn how thoughts become beliefs, beliefs become identity, and identity shapes your expectations and daily decisions. This message exposes why so many Christians keep choosing a spiritual “Barabbas”—old pathways, familiar emotions, and life “at the gates”—instead of entering the courts and house of the Lord, where true presence and impact are found. Dr. Robyn then applies this word to New York City and our global culture, contrasting the chaos, idolatry, and debauchery often seen in sports celebration and entertainment with powerful testimonies from around the world: athletes who lay down their crowns on the field and entire regions (like Iran and the Middle East) where believers risk everything to confess Jesus. Together, they call TORCC New York—and every listener—out of a gate-centered, compromise-filled lifestyle into purity, holiness, and daily ascent with the Holy Spirit. If you’ve been stuck choosing what’s familiar over what’s holy, this sermon will confront, correct, and give you real hope. You’ll be invited to: Move from the gates—where every influence and doctrine passes through—into the courts and house of the Lord. Trade your history for your destiny: Barabbas for Christ, the familiar for the Father. Let grace, not performance, empower genuine repentance, renewal of the mind, and lasting change. Choose the voice that tells you who you are becoming in Christ, not who you’ve always been. Live in a higher “song of ascent” frequency every day, not just on Sunday. Key Scriptures: Mark 15, John 18:40, Romans 12:2, 2 Corinthians 3:18, and Psalm 122—along with prophetic insight into this “Vav” season and the coming shift from speaking (Pe) to seeing (Ayin). This episode is for anyone hungry for: Deeper inner transformation and deliverance from familiar strongholds. A clearer, uncompromising, Jesus-first lifestyle. Prophetic teaching that unites Bible, neuroscience, and practical obedience. Revival in New York City and in everyday life.
