C3 NYC Josh Kelsey

In the final Sunday of our PRACTICE series, David Chan preaches on simplicity, the act of intentionally getting rid of that which distracts us or hinders us from our relationship with God. This can be anything—but it especially refers to materialism, status, success, money and now, technology. Through simplicity, the Lord calls us to contentment and a deeper relationship with Him.

In the creation story, we see that God rested on the seventh day because His work was finished and good. This rhythm of rest is exampled by God for each of us, that we would find time in our busy schedules to slow down and acknowledge we are not God of our lives. This Sunday, Pastor Jon Laurenzo shares the importance of Sabbath for the follower of Jesus and how carving out time to stop, rest, delight, and worship shapes the way we approach our circumstances.

New Yorkers are not known for being silent or having much time alone, but we’re called to be still and know God in the solitude. Today, lead pastor Josh Kelsey preached on six reasons we need the spiritual practice of silence & solitude. Join us as we step deeper into this practice this week—learning to stop doing, stop producing, stop pleasing people, stop entertaining, stop obsessing, to simply stop and rest that we might know God more deeply.

Lead pastor Josh Kelsey shares on the cost of discipleship at the C3 NYC staff meeting, and how, in order to have the joy of revival, you need the sorrow of repentance.

When we slow down, we create intentional space to hear from God. This Sunday, lead pastor George Kelsey preached from John 15, reminding us to abide and connect with the Father like the vine & the branches. In the gospels, Jesus often withdrew from the crowds to meet with the Father, and as we model our lives on His during this Practice series, we’re encouraged to cultivate a slowed-down spirituality that matches the Jesus’ pace.

What is true repentance? At ALLIN on Wednesday, Pastor Josh Kelsey challenged us to surrender our hearts and turn back to God through fasting, weeping and mourning. In this season of Lent, may we be a people who seek God in repentance and believe for revival.
