Our Mission
New City Fellowship exists to seek the establishment of God’s
kingdom rule in the lives of people from every ethnic group by
discipling the na ons in the reconciling Gospel of Jesus Christ
through a clear proclama on of salva on by grace through faith in
Christ alone and by doing Spirit-led deeds of jus ce and mercy.
6 Jesus leJ there and went to his hometown, accompanied by his disciples.2 When the
Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were
amazed. “Where did this man get these things?” they asked. “What’s this wisdom that
has been given him? What are these remarkable miracles he is performing? 3 Isn’t this
the carpenter? Isn’t this Mary’s son and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas and
Simon? Aren’t his sisters here with us?” And they took offense at him. 4 Jesus said to
them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own town, among his rela ves and
in his own home.” 5 He could not do any miracles there, except lay his hands on a few
sick people and heal them. 6 He was amazed at their lack of faith. Then Jesus went
around teaching from village to village. 7 Calling the Twelve to him, he began to send
them out two by two and gave them authority over impure spirits. 8 These were his
instruc ons: “Take nothing for the journey except a staff—no bread, no bag, no money
in your belts. 9 Wear sandals but not an extra shirt. 10 Whenever you enter a house, stay
there un l you leave that town. 11 And if any place will not welcome you or listen to you,
leave that place and shake the dust off your feet as a tes mony against them.” 12 They
went out and preached that people should repent. 13 They drove out many demons and
anointed many sick people with oil and healed them.
