- 361I'm Sorry, There's Been a Massive MisunderstandingThis past Sunday, guest Pastor Dan Lian shared with our church some of misunderstandings about the character of who God is. As we take a look at Luke 15 with the Parable of the Lost Sheep, we can see that God is concerned with our return to Him as He chases after us and carries us home.
- 362THE TALE OF TWO ADAMSJoin us in our new BETTER NOW series as we kick off in Romans 5, looking at the good news of how humanity's ruin is followed by Christ's rescue and a new reign of grace. Our old life, inherited from Adam's sin in Genesis 3, is nothing in comparison to what we've been given freely in Christ!
- 363TRULY FREE"Freedom is free, but it takes work to walk in it. Our automatic is to let sin reign - we have to retrain ourselves in the things of God so we can step into practical freedom." After salvation breaks us from the penalty of sin, how do we become free from the power of sin? This Sunday, Pastor Janel Navran shared a message on how we can walk in true freedom and the process of sanctification — what it takes to unlearn our automatic patterns of living in bondage.
- 364BETTER SURRENDERWhat will you choose? Romans 6:16 points out that we can surrender to sin or surrender to God—but we're all surrendered to something. In this message, David Chan shares the beauty of surrendering fully to God. There is no limited to what God can do in and through a yielded vessel.
- 365BETTER MINDThis week, Kevin Smigielski shared on the power of having a Better Mind in Christ. What are we setting our minds on? Are we setting our minds on the flesh, the circumstances of our lives and the opinions of others, or are we setting our minds on Jesus? As his followers, we have the mind of Christ, and we are no longer bound by our circumstances and other people. So let us set our minds on Jesus, and let the Holy Spirit transform us by renewing our minds daily.
- 366BETTER IDENTITYAuthor Philip Yancey once said, "If I could sum up the whole Bible in one statement it would be this: God gets his family back." From Genesis to Revelations, the entire biblical drama involves what was lost being found, like the parable of the lost son in Luke 15. This Sunday, Pastor Filmore unpacked our perception of identity and how the truest thing about us is our identity as a child of God.
- 367BETTER HOPE"The Holy Spirit comes and prays for us — instead of praying for a thing to be fixed, He wants to fix us." This Sunday, Pastor Ryan Schlachter shared a message on Better Hope, and how hope helps us make sense of the world around us, because we can look ahead to eternity to endure our current circumstances.
- 368BETTER RELATIONSHIPSIn the finale of our BETTER NOW series, we heard from 6 tag-team preachers on better relationships. Focusing on the later chapters of Romans, the writings of Paul call us to see how salvation transforms not only our lives but the relationships and people around us.
- 369Things UnseenFaith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things unseen. This Sunday, Pastor Filmore kicked off our new series in Hebrews unpacking the power of faith, a personal trust in God that results in obedience. Faith isn't a life of perfection but a life of growing in trusting relationship with a perfect God.
- 370First Things FirstFaith puts the first things first. This Sunday, Pastor Filmore unpacked the faith of Abel from Hebrews 11:4-6. It takes no faith to give God leftovers, but rather we're called to love God with all of our hearts, minds and souls so that we can love our neighbors well.
- 371Dying for PurposeThis weekend we heard from Vapor Ministries founder Micah Mcelveen. Our hearts yearn for meaning-filled lives. Our hands call us to make the difference we were designed for. We were made on purpose for a purpose, yet we are tempted to waste our lives. So how do we uncover the purpose we are all dying for?
- 372Live By Faith Not By SightGod is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him! In the life of Noah, we see that faith brings a greater reward than our comfort and convenience. Continuing in our Things Unseen series, Pastor Filmore Bouldes preached from Hebrews 11, revealing how we can live by faith in the gap between God's promise and fulfillment.
- 373Forward ObedienceA life of faith looks forward. In Hebrews 11, we see that Abraham looked forward to a heavenly city, a vision beyond his own lifetime. This Sunday, Pastor Filmore preached on beginning with the end in mind. The way forward is through surrender and worship.
- 374A Vision For Your HeartWhere we give our hearts, we give our lives. This Sunday, we kicked off our new series, With All My Heart, with Pastor Filmore teaching out of Jeremiah 29. Do we give our hearts to lesser loves? Because what grows in our treats will grow in our church and create a vision that will flow out to the city.
- 375The Costly Loss of LamentIn the scriptures, the psalms are not just filled with praise but lament. At C3 NYC's staff meeting, Pastor Georgie Kelsey shared on the power of lament. When we allow ourselves to be unfiltered and raw before God, we grow in intimacy and faith. Through lament, we can see our prayers shift from being transactional to transformation!
- 376How Healthy Is Your Heart?The Bible tells us to guard our hearts, and yet we often let social media, our friend's opinions, our boss or romantic relationships be the surgeon who does heart surgery on your core identity. In our With All My Heart series, Pastor Josh shared a message asking, "How healthy is your heart?" When we invite God to search me and know me, we will develop a genuine faith and look forward to the future with a healthy heart.
- 377Generosity Flows From A Healthy HeartGenerosity flows from a healthy heart. At C3 NYC's staff meeting, Pastor Josh Kelsey preached on giving with all our heart. Instead of calculating or holding back, we can have a lifestyle of generosity where we see our joy become other people's freedom.
- 378Single VisionThis Sunday, lead pastor Josh Kelsey preached on having a single vision from Jesus' Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 6. It can be easy to call Jesus King but not allow Him to rule our finances, so as we kick off our Vision Week, we'll see that God has given us vision for that see beyond the short-term and seeks first the Kingdom!
- 379Contribution Is Greater Than ConsumptionGenerosity is trusting God with what's already His. This Generosity Sunday, Pastor Filmore preached on contribution over consumption, teaching from the building of the temple in Exodus. The vision of God is always outworked through the generosity, gifts and giving of His people.
- 380To Know Him is to Want HimIn this message Pastor Josh reminds us of the importance of coming back to our first love, and keeping our desire for him above all other desires. When we see him truly in all He has done for us, the only proper response is to love Him with all our hearts.
- 381RekindleAt C3 NYC's staff meeting, Pastor Josh shares a message on rekindling and returning to our first love. Teaching from the letters to the churches in Revelations, we can learn to rekindle our holiness, truth, authentic faith and purpose!
- 382CONVICTION > COMPROMISEConviction flows from connection. This Sunday, Pastor Filmore preached on the compromised church of Pergamum in Revelation 2—and how we can learn awareness, conviction and repentance that will reconnect us to a full life of freedom. When we create margin to be abide in His word and with the Holy Spirit, we'll be a church that lives with conviction, a city on a hill that testifies to God's glory and grace.
- 383FIRST & LASTAt C3 NYC's staff meeting, Pastor Josh Kelsey continued our series in Revelations, diving into the letter to the persecuted church in Smyrna. Jesus is the First and the Last, the Alpha and the Omega. He is not just Creator, but He is eternal—meaning He is faithful to complete the good work He began in you!
- 384GRATITUDE > GRUMBLINGThis Sunday, David Chan preached on how gratitude is greater than grumbling! Gratitude is not dependent on our circumstances but rather grounded on Jesus and the finished work of the cross. We can grow in joy and the power of the Spirit as we lean into gratitude.
