With all the hustle of Christmas, we can lose touch with its true meaning. This Sunday’s message from Pastor Josh Kelsey, “Why Christmas?” reminds us of the importance of Christ’s birth and the love poured out as God stepped into humanity. God redeems, shows, forgives, and frees us. What good news this Christmas season!

Where is your hope anchored? In this Sunday’s message, Lead Pastor Josh Kelsey kicks off our Advent series with a message on the hope that is unseen—our hope in Jesus Christ. Pastor Josh gives us three things that make up the hope we have in Jesus, an anchor that we can rely on and remind us of the peace that comes in Jesus.

One of the themes of the gospels is the fact that Jesus has come to include people who have been on the outskirts. Those who are marginalized by humans standards, the Kingdom brings them into the family of God. This Sunday, Suyash Raiborde preached a message on the parable of the two debtors in Luke 7. In this story, we are confronted with the brokenness of our humanity and the choice we face: do we choose our own self-righteousness or the righteousness offered by Jesus’ forgiveness?

This Sunday, Jon Laurenzo preaches on the parables of the lost sheep and lost coin from Luke 15. He encourages us to see our city and our neighborhoods not as problems to be solved but people to be loved!

Jesus taught in parables, in earthly stories with heavenly meaning. This Sunday in our HIDDEN series, we dove into the Parable of the Sower, learning the importance of checking our hearts so that we can truly receive God’s word. What a message to live out as we allow the seed to take root in our hearts!

Jesus has shown us a new way to be human—that it first starts in the heart. Rain, winds, floods, will beat down on your life trying to make your life fail. But when your life’s foundation is built on Jesus, you will never fail. In this Sunday’s message, Pastor Kevin Smigielski gives us 3 things to remember when storms come our way.

Pastor Filmore unpacks a biblical perspective of Kingdom generosity, reminding us that even our ability to produce wealth comes from God. In the New Testament book of Philippians, we find a a thank you letter to a church who supported Paul in his ministry, and Paul refers to the Philippian church as his "partners." We are called to be good stewards of our finances, not just consumers but partners of God's mission.

After Jesus washed the disciples’ feet in John 13, he continues to prepare them for what is to come. In John 17, Jesus passes the baton to the disciples, instilling in them confidence and courage to carry out the responsibilities given to them. In this Sunday’s message, guest speaker, Pastor Kevin Loo, brings a word reminding us to remain faithful in the world while not being of the world.

Why is it so challenging for believers to pray? Are you busy? Distracted? Feel distant from God? Maybe it's spiritual indifference, but God wants to bring back a spirit of zeal into a culture of indifference. Not only should we pray because everyone needs grace and mercy, but also because God moves and works through our prayer.

In our context today, we don’t often associate the word “praise” with the word “sacrifice.” Sacrifice is costly. It implies we have to give up something. But we are able to bring a sacrifice of praise before God because Jesus was first sacrificed for us on the cross. And that is something to praise God for. In this Sunday’s message, David Chan gives us 4 points to consider in our sacrifice of praise to God.

This ALLIN word from Pastor Josh Kelsey reminds us to follow Christ, our Good Shepherd, so we can lead others well! Like sheep, we are vulnerable and easily led astray, but when we know and follow the voice of the Shepherd, we find wholeness in Him and can call others back to Christ.

Humanity was designed to worship, and we will continue to crave to worship something. God provides us with the blueprint for how we are to guide our souls into worship. What we worship is formed by what we believe, and what we believe is formed by our view of Jesus. In this Sunday’s message, Pastor Josh Kelsey breaks down the structure of the tabernacle into the way, the truth, and the life that we are to follow in order to experience the richness of God’s presence.

A lot of human hope is contingent on something that has not yet happened; but our hope is clear because we are leaning on something that has already happened.

Jesus gave us the responsibility to be light to those around us. As C3 NYC celebrates 9 years, Pastor Mark Kelsey brings a message this Sunday reminding us of the calling Jesus gives to us as disciples of light by giving three keys to help us be “that church”—the church full of people that show the glory of Jesus to all they encounter.

God calls us to present our bodies and our lives as living sacrifices to him—this is our response to God’s love and mercy towards us. In this message, Lead Pastor Josh Kelsey walks us through four different “therefores” from the book of Romans. We cannot have theology without praise, but we have to know who we are praising and why we are praising him. The true knowledge of God will always lead us to worship him.

What we give our attention to can become an altar in our life. Our attention is a higher place in our heart that should be reserved for Jesus, but so often it is occupied by the things of this world. In this week’s Leadership Lessons, Pastor Josh Kelsey outlines ten outcomes from giving your attention solely to God.

The attention of our heart is an altar that is reserved primarily for sacrifice and worship unto the Lord, but yet so often we pledge our allegience to other people, places, & things.

Even in the garden of Eden, God said that it was not good for man to be alone. We are created for friendship with one another, and in a city like New York, it’s easy to feel alone, misunderstood, or unknown. But friendships are an integral part of our emotional and spiritual health, as well as our emotional and spiritual growth. In this Sunday’s message, Pastor Janel Obando teaches us more about kingdom friendship and how to love one another as Christ loved us.

No matter what situation we find ourselves in today, we need hope in our relationships. Relationships bring out out our most vulnerable selves, making us wonder if we will be loved, chosen, seen, or rejected. But the truth is that God redeems all of our lives, including our relationships. In this Sunday’s message, Pastor Kathryn Myers shares a personal story of her journey with hope for her relationships and gives us three reasons to have hope.
