In order to fight the Good Fight of faith, it's important to know that our faith comes by hearing the word of Christ—and there is a battle for our hearts to be receptive to His word! This past Sunday, Pastor Josh Kelsey walked us through the parable of the sower to challenge us to grow in faith by ensuring that the soil of our heart is good. The level of growth and harvest of the Kingdom in our li...

Faith lives in the realm of impossibility, don't let what you haven't seen God do prevent you from seeing what God can do. This past Sunday, Pastor Filmore Bouldes preached a message stirring our faith to believe in anything through Christ. Faith, moving in an atmosphere of compassion, can expect the miraculous things of God to happen in our lives.  

Let's step into the good fight of faith because faith is the primary battleground we face in life. This past Sunday, Pastor Josh Kelsey challenged us to fight for our faith, to strengthen and train ourselves to build our lives in Christ. There is a fight in your life right now which means there is something of worth on the other side. The future is brighter with faith in your heart.

  This past Sunday, Pastor Josh Kelsey finished our SUPREME series with a message encouraging us to be clothed in Christ by walking in our new identity in Him. The higher our view of Christ is, the higher our level of humility. Through Christ we are able to put on our new identity and bring true compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience into our world. Jesus is the solution.

The more we discover who Jesus is the more we discover who we are. This Sunday  Pastor Josh challenged how we think about salvation and the future of the world. If we see salvation as a ticket to heaven, rather than as a message to transform the world today, then we miss out on the ways that God is renewing the world here and now. The message of the Cross is a message for the renewal of our world,...

We are set free knowing the fullness we have in Christ. In each of our hearts, we have a throne, and who we choose to crown King dictates much of our lives. This past Sunday, Emmanuel Hastings preached on the fullness that only Jesus can give us. Alone we cannot achieve fullness; we can only receive fullness through Christ being on the throne of our hearts.  

We are here to elevate Jesus as supreme. The most dangerous place for the church to live is when Jesus is kind of important. This Sunday, Pastor Josh Kelsey preached in our SUPREME series challenging us to elevate Jesus as king in our lives. When we have supreme love for Christ we will find radical faith, to live not as lukewarm but as ambassadors of Jesus Christ. 

Jesus is supreme. Jesus is ultimate, He is the highest expression of glory. This past Sunday, we kicked off our new series SUPREME with our annual Dream Sunday. Filmore shared about how we can reset our hearts to make the Lord first in our lives by seeking first God's kingdom. When we dream with His heart, our dreams will always include others. 

Since the beginning of time, man has attempted to create a savior and tried answer the question, "Why I am here?" The virgin birth shows us that salvation requires no effort from man—God so loved us that He overruns every guilt and every shame in our lives. This week during our special Carols by Candlelight services, Pastor Josh Kelsey shared an encouraging message on Jesus' birth. His perfect lov...

When the Good News of Jesus' birth was announced to the shepherds, the angel's first words were, "Fear not." This was the Kingdom announcement of the end of fear because Christ came to break the distance between us and God. This past Sunday, Pastor Josh Kelsey preached a message on Jesus restoring our lives and bringing an end to fear. We can live in freedom knowing that Jesus is with us and for u...

We often carry burdens we aren't meant to in our own strength - circumstances, worry, fear, or guilt. Jesus came to release all of that from us, for us to receive rest rather than trying to achieve it. This Sunday, Filmore Bouldes preached on coming to Jesus to truly find our rest. We need to stop running to ourselves and recognize our need for help, for Jesus.

Jesus isn't asking us to fix ourselves up. He is present and here to heal and redeem and is looking for us to reach out for help. This Sunday Pastor Josh Kelsey helped us grasp the heart of resting in who God is. God made Himself vulnerable through Jesus so He could save us. Everything Jesus asks of us He says He will do it for us and through us. His yoke is easy and His burden is light, through C...

Jesus elevated a symbol of weakness, a child, as the greatest in the Kingdom. Our society tells us to hide our vulnerabilities, but Jesus, who entered this world clothed in the weakness of a newborn baby, calls us to that same childlike humility, vulnerability and dependency on our Father. This Sunday, Emmanuel Hastings shared a powerful message kicking off our Advent series, challenging us to pus...

Ambitious praise is the crescendo of our faith because praise reminds us of the One who saved us. This Sunday, Pastor Josh Kelsey urged us to live a life overflowing with praise and thanksgiving to God. Praise will always be the result of a life that is firmly rooted in Christ. The certainty of our faith will give us access to all the riches of God as we discover His great mystery.    

Generosity is the way of the Kingdom. This Sunday, Pastor Josh Kelsey preached a message on Vision Sunday encouraging us to step out in our giving to build God's Kingdom in New York City and beyond. We give because we have already been accepted — not to earn salvation but out of the overflow of His grace in our lives. We release the miracle-working power of God when we give what may seem insignifi...

We need to use the ambition God has given us to lift up the name of Jesus in our city. This Sunday, Pastor Josh launched our November series AMBITION on seeking to reclaim our generation's desire to build the Kingdom of God. The God we serve is an ambitious God — like Abraham, we are called to step out of our limited tents, lift our eyes to His unlimited vision and count the stars. Nothing is impo...

God is not looking at the eloquence of the words in our prayers — He's looking for our honesty, our heart. This Sunday, Pastor Josh Kelsey finished our Motel series with fresh insight into the Lord's Prayer. Prayer gives God access to our hearts and shapes our earthly desires into heavenly ones — shifting our focus off ourselves and onto Jesus and His Kingdom. The more we surrender to His will, th...

We are made in love and wired for love through Christ. God gave us intellect, so our intellect is spiritual and God-breathed but functions fully when we're connected to the Vine, the Holy Spirit. This Sunday special guest speaker and cognitive neuroscientist, Dr. Caroline Leaf linked scientific principles of the brain to spiritual, intellectual and emotional issues in a practical way. We have a re...

What is the state of the internal conversation going on in your life? This Sunday, Pastor Josh Kelsey continued in our Motel series, sharing one of David's Psalms and challenging us to shift our internal dialogue from that which is temporary to the eternal. Through remembering what God has done for us, we overcome the negative thinking that tries to dominate our internal conversation and are free...

The earth was always designed as a reflection of heaven. This Sunday, Pastor Josh continued in our Motel series, encouraging us to live out our calling as citizens of Heaven. Jesus is our great leader of this kingdom of grace, and He's given us the rights, privileges, and authority to represent Him here on earth. Through Him, we can live in freedom knowing that His love has secured our future.

God is not afraid of our running; His light will chase darkness down everyday. The battle between faith and fear is constant in the world around us. This Sunday, Pastor Josh Kelsey preached on God's eternal purpose in our lives and how faith propels us confidently forward as we rely on the unseen instead of the seen. Fear produces anxiety, but faith produces peace.

We are all on a journey, and God has a place and a spiritual home for each of us. He wants us to live with an eternal perspective to break free from a temporal mindset. This Sunday, Pastor Josh Kelsey launched our new series MOTEL sharing on checking out of the temporal to build the eternal. God wants us to lift our eyes to see in a new perspective — what is impossible with man is possible with Go...

The Church is God's people. It's His place to save the whole world, to reveal that He is real. This Sunday as we celebrated our 3rd Anniversary as a church, Pastor Josh Kelsey preached a message on Jesus being the center of our lives and elevating our view of the church as we embark on this next year together. We are a part of the greatest move of God there has ever been. 

Our souls are eternal and can only be satisfied by an eternal God. Our souls thirst just as we thirst physically when we are dehydrated. Are we spiritually dehydrated? We need Jesus, we need living water—this is what our soul craves and desires. This Sunday Pastor Josh Kelsey encouraged us to recognize our thirst. God does not judge us but has come to pour out living water upon our thirsty souls.

Our purpose is tied to God's grace and discovered in our surrender. We reveal the glory of God by enjoying Him above everything else. When we see God we see who we are and see the purpose He has for our lives. This Sunday, Pastor Josh Kelsey preached in our DRIVE series on the moment of surrender being the moment we find our purpose.
