This past Sunday, at every location we had team members sharing on humility in our ONE ANOTHER series. Listen to nine leaders across our Williamsburg location preaching on what it looks like to walk and live in humility by looking to Jesus as our example.
This past Sunday, guest preacher Paul Scanlon, global communicator for over 30 years growing and empowering people in churches worldwide, preached a message on God's heart for us to accept others before changing them just as Christ has done for us. The way God gets people to change is this: He overwhelms them with acceptance until they start volunteering to change. Let's take on the heart of this message as we accept and love people as Christ has.
In Jesus, our seat is always secure. Before we were ever thinking about Jesus, He had a seat with our name on it. This past Sunday, Pastor Ryan Schlachter preached on our identity in Christ as we serve others. True humility knows we can serve from our status and not for our status.
Jesus serves us first, does what others won’t and is our example. This is the heart of what it looks like to walk in humility from the message this past Sunday from Pastor Filmore Bouldes. Some of us are afraid to go low, because if we go low we are going to lose our position but Jesus shows us that our seat is secure in Him. Those who are the most secure, they serve first. They admit they are wrong first. They are the first to apologize, the first to forgive. We are secure in Christ. We have the security in Christ, worth and value in Him. God has not put our value up for grabs.
This ALLIN Team Night, Pastor Filmore Bouldes preached on Hebrews 12 and the endurance we have in Christ to keep running. Let us be reminded of why we do what we do and why we run our race. God will give us a second wind to keep going so that we may run free, focused and fresh.
This special First Fruits Sunday, Pastor Josh Kelsey preached out of Isaiah 54 on enlarging our vision and our tent as a church. As we put God first we will find that blessing breaks open over our lives. God then takes something so temporal like money and builds the eternal. There is no thing we can invest in that will live forever like the kingdom of God.
This past Sunday, C3 Lead Pastor Georgie Kelsey preached a message on Isaiah 54 as we step out as a church family and enlarge our tent in New York City. When we enlarge, God always fills the space. When we are in Christ and are in faith we can let fear go in our lives and boldly step into all that He has for us. We can see with eyes of faith in the midst of fear because Jesus is our captain.
This past Sunday, Pastor Filmore Bouldes preached on practicing love like Jesus as we love one another in our lives. Nothing can develop without a bit of resistance. Let’s learn to embrace resistance because it’s an opportunity for our muscles of love to grow. Practice means that what was once uncomfortable becomes a rhythm of love. Let's not just talk about love, let's be about love.
So often we don’t love one another better because we haven’t stopped to receive God’s love. This past Sunday, Pastor Josh Kelsey preached on God's heart for us to serve one another because of the freedom we have in Christ. The world would say that freedom is doing what we want when we want, but God declares that true freedom is found in selflessness. Pastor Josh spoke on 5 keys to serving others as signs of true freedom. Let's take on this message and build others up through the fullness we have received in Christ!
This past Sunday, guest Pastor Nadia Marychurch preached on devotion to people in our ONE ANOTHER series. Devotion is walking with people. That’s what Jesus did for us. Jesus was 100% devoted to us. It doesn’t matter what we do, He’s always going to be devoted to us. We will never regret devotion for the sake of God and people and we can't let fear stop us from being devoted to people. This is our greatest call as believers to love one another and be devoted to them.
This past Sunday, guest Pastor Levi Marychurch preached a message on the power of our words in our ONE ANOTHER series. He challenged us with key questions to truly analyze the words we say. Are your words optimistic? Do they bring out life in others? If you were to do an audit of your daily words, what would it look like? These questions help us see the power God has given us in our words to live out His calling to love one another.
This ALLIN Team Night, guest Pastor Levi Marychurch preached on getting our edge back. When we feel we have lost our edge, we go back to the beginning—back to our personal history with God to be reminded of our first love for Him. Jesus has done it all—all striving is finished. The hard work is finished. The leading in our own understanding is finished. He has done it all on the cross.
This Sunday, Pastor Josh Kelsey kicked off our summer series, ONE ANOTHER with a powerful message on God's mission for us to be life-long learners of love. The world will know us by our love and when we look to the needs of others and meet those needs, those around us will take note. The church is the answer, the hope of the world. Jesus wants everyone in New York City to know this love. How will you love one another this week?
This past Sunday, guest Pastor Mark Kelsey C3’s Global Growth Minister, shared a powerful message with us concluding our DISCIPLE series. The heart of the great commission in our lives to go and teach the gospel to the world, being disciple-makers in all areas of our lives. The reason Jesus said to go was because He was going, He was leaving the future of the world to the church so we might live out His life through us. The world is waiting for us to give the right example to imitate and God wants us to live on adventure with Him so our lives can show the freedom He has given us.
The Great Commission calls us to make disciples by immersing people in the identity, love and relationship of the Trinity. For all eternity, there’s been a love relationship between the Father, Son and Holy Spirit—and we’re invited into that love! This Sunday in our DISCIPLE series, Pastor Filmore preached on being immersed—how through being baptized in the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, we are named differently, loved deeply and welcomed into a community that reflects the image of God.
The greatest power is love. Love is what defeated the grave and our sin. This is the power that Jesus has given to us and has commissioned us with to go into the world to share. This past Sunday, Pastor Josh preached on the Great Commission that Jesus calls us to in Matthew 28. The commission invites us to step into an authentic Christianity, a disciple-making life that we can only step into with His power.
Every single human is being discipled. Jesus hardwired us to look for someone to teach us how to live, but the question is who are we following right now? Are we willing to be discipled by Jesus? This Sunday, Pastor Josh Kelsey preached on the great commission from Matthew 28. We have a God who comes close to us—the game-changing thing about Jesus is His proximity. Jesus leads us to intimacy not distance, so if we’re intimate with Jesus, then we’ll learn to be be the greatest Disciple-makers.
Nothing brings joy to God’s heart and the party to heaven like one lost sheep’s return. Jesus declares He will do the heavy lifting to bring the lost home. Our work is to partner with the One who is searching. And when He finds that individual, He’s the one who brings them home by grace through faith. This ALLIN Team night guest Pastor Dan Lian shared a powerful message about God's heart for the lost. There's always room for one more sheep here at C3 and we are a team who look after the one.
Freedom is not what you do or achieve, but true freedom starts in the heart. Real freedom is the fact that your sins are forgiven. This past Sunday, Pastor Josh Kelsey preached on true freedom we find within Jesus. We can put our problem, sin or addiction at the feet of God because He is a good Father and His mercy wants to flow through you so you can be free.
Do you see how God’s grace is threaded through your past? Your past is marked by mercy, love and grace and that deserves a response to God. This past Sunday Pastor Filmore Bouldes preached on laying down our bodies as sacrifices to God. God doesn’t want just a better you, He wants a better us. This is a body, so we belong to each other.
We aren't made whole and healthy by what we have done but rather by who God is. The Good News is not about what God requires but what He provides—it’s not about what God demands but what He declares over our lives! This past Sunday, Pastor Josh Kelsey preached on being made whole through Christ and the healing power of His Word. The Word is like a surgeon’s scalpel, able to access our deepest beliefs and renew our minds!
The church is the home where the Doctor lives, where the Great Physician dwells—and His name is Jesus. This past Sunday, Pastor Filmore Bouldes preached a message kicking off our new series HOSPITAL sharing on the church being a home to care for the sick. The first step in our lives in receiving healing is recognizing we have a sickness. Jesus defines a sinner as someone who is sick. This shows that the core issue of humanity is not humanity’s inability to keep rules but that we are sick and that our hearts need healing.
