This Sunday, Pastor Filmore Bouldes challenged us to count the cost in our walk with God. If we are going to follow Jesus toward who He's called us to be, it's going to cost our passion, priorities and possessions. We love others best when we love God most.
This Sunday Pastor Josh Kelsey shared on the gospel of peace, which brings a peace with God, with yourself and with others. Speaking out of Ephesians 6, he revealed how essential it is to wear the gospel of readiness on our feet as we walk with God. God makes us ready to move forward in life, to gain traction in our walk and to get a firm grip on who we really are in Christ. Let's put the gospel of peace on our feet today to gain forward movement in our purpose and our lives!
God is constantly preparing us for something, He never leaves us where we are at. This Sunday, Pastor Mark Kelsey encouraged us about all that God has prepared for us to become and to do, to bring God’s glory to the earth. He unpacked three stages of preparation — the Cross, our progression in reconciliation, our role as a voice crying in the wilderness — to help us see just how much God has done to prepare us to shine His glory in New York City.
This Sunday, Pastor Josh calls us to return to the table of the Lord, the place He has prepared for us to encounter the identity, acceptance, and right-standing with Him that He freely gives to us. At this table, when we learn to sit with Him, we will learn who we really are in His eyes and all that He’s already prepared for us. Once we’ve sat, we will know to what kind of table we are inviting others.
