Sometimes we feel too messed up to show up. Like we failed one too many times, so we skip church, or come and hide in the back. This week Pastor Rich pointed us to Isaiah. When he saw God's glory, he didn't run from his uncleanness. He let God touch his lips with the coal from the altar, and the mess became a commissioning. That's the whole heart of it. God isn't after your polished facade or your...

We were delighted to have Ogo Ekweozor-Holly join us. One line that stayed with us: fear shows up wherever we aren't truly believing God in that area of our lives. For many of us, God feels real in some places but distant in others, so we quietly compartmentalize Him and let other things rule where we haven't fully trusted. What keeps us from believing? Unhealed pain that whispers He didn't come t...

Ken Fish brought three simple charges rooted in scripture that cut straight to the heart of what it means to be a father, a husband, and a man of God: Be of good courage. Play the man. Give yourself for others. Revival starts in the home. It starts in the everyday. The dinner table. The rough and tumble play. The quiet moments where you model what it looks like to fear God and love your family wel...

We were honored to have Juliana Vincenti bring the word this Sunday. Drawing from the story of Obed-Edom, she reminded us what it looks like to steward God's presence with reverence, expectation, and humility. This message is one you'll want to sit with.

Pastor Colt shares a personal story reminding us how the Holy Spirit prepares our hearts to reflect Gods love everywhere we go.  “And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.” -Romans‬ ‭5‬:‭5‬ ‭NIV‬‬   Listen in now to hear Life Center Church's latest Sunday message from Pastor Colt.   ⛪️ Connect with...

God gets our attention through conviction of the Holy Spirit, Scripture, sound teaching, and trusted people who speak truth into our lives. Even when we resist or say no, God remains gracious and continues drawing us back rather than leaving us stuck. Stay anchored in hope, trusting that God is leading you toward glory.   Listen in now to hear Life Center Church's latest Sunday message from Pastor...

Worship is a living conversation with a God who still sings, speaks, and responds. When we become active worshippers, expression explodes and there is no limit on what God can do. A life that makes God real is the greatest witness we can carry.   Listen in now to hear Life Center Church's latest Sunday message from Guest Speaker Jason Upton.   ⛪️ Connect with us ⛪️  https://www.lifecenternyc.com...

Pruning is preparation, and it produces lasting fruit. This Sunday, Dehavilland Ford challenged us to stay rooted in the vine and to see this season not as punishment, but as God’s careful work of formation. She reminded us that what feels like loss, delay, or cutting is often God creating space for greater fruit to grow. This message invited us to remain connected to Jesus and to resist the press...

Many of us carry the weight of poor leadership. When the people entrusted with shaping us acted from their own brokenness, we learned to stay cautious. For some, that experience can slowly shape how we view God too, especially when the disappointment came through parents or spiritual leaders. But Jesus does not lead the way they led. He reveals the heart of a shepherd who does not fail or falter....

God did not abandon Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah to Babylon. He sent them there as seeds of awakening in a hostile culture. In the same way, we are called to live in a city that offers power and indulgence without letting those offers weaken our convictions. From Daniel 4, we saw Daniel honor a wicked king, Nebuchadnezzar, proving that real holiness refuses compromise and also refuses ha...

Some people don’t feel called to marriage and we honor that. But for those who do sense that desire, Sunday’s message was a reminder that boldness matters. Not the kind that pushes or forces something to happen, but the kind that lets your heart open again after seasons where hope felt risky. Pastor Colt shared that relational courage is still kingdom courage. It takes faith to trust God with timi...

What if you’re not in this city by accident but by assignment? Daniel understood that before anyone tried to rename him, God had already purposed him. He settled his allegiance early and refused to let Babylon own his heart. He learned the system without being shaped by its idols. Ten times better in skill, unwavering in worship. And when excellence couldn’t be attacked, his worship was. God met f...

There are seasons when God asks you to strike again. The first prayer loosens the ground. The second builds faith. The third opens the way for His power to finish what He began. In 2 Samuel 5, David once more faced the Philistines. He waited for the Lord’s direction, moved as instructed, and saw the enemy scattered across the land. What began as resistance ended in complete victory because he foll...

Pastor Colt spoke this past Sunday that we are in the midst of an awakening in our nation. Those who were sleeping are waking up! Colt spoke on the importance of the Spirit-filled life as described in Ephesians 5:1-20. He reminded us that a Spirit-filled life looks like the life that Jesus lived, and as we imitate Jesus we walk in the light and expose the darkness. Walking in the will of God happe...

Money itself isn’t the issue. The posture of the heart is. It’s never about how much we have but about what we allow to have us. When held with open hands, money becomes a tool for trust, generosity, and worship rather than control or greed. God isn’t asking for our wallets but for our willingness to let Him lead every part of our lives. When we release what’s in our hands, we make room for what H...

The difference between a believer who’s settled and one who’s stirred is who’s in control. Many Christians may carry the Spirit but never allow Him to move freely in their lives. God doesn’t want to be an accessory to your plans; He wants to become your center. When He becomes preeminent, every part of your life begins to align under His leadership. The Holy Spirit stops being something you have a...

Real friends aren’t just cheerleaders but those who tell us the truth in love. The kind who help us recognize when it’s time to put off the grave clothes of the old man and walk in the righteousness and holiness of the new. This past Sunday, Pastor Colt spoke from Ephesians 4 about renewing the mind and learning to live as new creations in Christ. Transformation isn’t automatic but a daily choice...

In John 10 Jesus tells us, “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them.” That voice is still speaking today. Thank you Teresa Ashkinazi for joining us and calling us to live as a people who carry His presence into the city so that others can know they are seen, known, and loved by God. Prophetic evangelism is the Father using our voices to cut through the noise and open up hearts to hear and receive...

Abraham and Sarah lived with years of waiting and a body that said it was too late. God spoke a promise and then asked them to keep walking by faith. He brought life where there was no natural way forward. The same God speaks over you today. Do not call it finished when He calls it future. Hope is rising.   Listen in now to hear Life Center Church's latest Sunday message from Pastor Bill.   ⛪️ Co...

An apostle is a sent one. Jesus commissions and sends them with His authority to break new ground and strengthen the church. Ephesians 4 shows us that Christ Himself gave apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers. These gifts exist to equip the saints for the work of ministry and build up the body of Christ. Each gift reveals Jesus: apostles carry His mission, prophets reveal His hear...
