This past Sunday, at every location we had team members sharing on humility in our ONE ANOTHER series. Listen to nine leaders across our Williamsburg location preaching on what it looks like to walk and live in humility by looking to Jesus as our example.

This past Sunday, guest preacher Paul Scanlon, global communicator for over 30 years growing and empowering people in churches worldwide, preached a message on God's heart for us to accept others before changing them just as Christ has done for us. The way God gets people to change is this: He overwhelms them with acceptance until they start volunteering to change. Let's take on the heart of this message as we accept and love people as Christ has.

In Jesus, our seat is always secure. Before we were ever thinking about Jesus, He had a seat with our name on it. This past Sunday, Pastor Ryan Schlachter preached on our identity in Christ as we serve others. True humility knows we can serve from our status and not for our status.

Jesus serves us first, does what others won't and is our example. This is the heart of what it looks like to walk in humility from the message this past Sunday from Pastor Filmore Bouldes. Some of us are afraid to go low, because if we go low we are going to lose our position but Jesus shows us that our seat is secure in Him. Those who are the most secure, they serve first. They admit they are wrong first. They are the first to apologize, the first to forgive. We are secure in Christ. We have the security in Christ, worth and value in Him. God has not put our value up for grabs.

This ALLIN Team Night, Pastor Filmore Bouldes preached on Hebrews 12 and the endurance we have in Christ to keep running. Let us be reminded of why we do what we do and why we run our race. God will give us a second wind to keep going so that we may run free, focused and fresh.

This special First Fruits Sunday, Pastor Josh Kelsey preached out of Isaiah 54 on enlarging our vision and our tent as a church. As we put God first we will find that blessing breaks open over our lives. God then takes something so temporal like money and builds the eternal. There is no thing we can invest in that will live forever like the kingdom of God.

This past Sunday, C3 Lead Pastor Georgie Kelsey preached a message on Isaiah 54 as we step out as a church family and enlarge our tent in New York City. When we enlarge, God always fills the space. When we are in Christ and are in faith we can let fear go in our lives and boldly step into all that He has for us. We can see with eyes of faith in the midst of fear because Jesus is our captain.

This past Sunday, Pastor Filmore Bouldes preached on practicing love like Jesus as we love one another in our lives. Nothing can develop without a bit of resistance. Let's learn to embrace resistance because it's an opportunity for our muscles of love to grow. Practice means that what was once uncomfortable becomes a rhythm of love. Let's not just talk about love, let's be about love.

So often we don't love one another better because we haven't stopped to receive God's love. This past Sunday, Pastor Josh Kelsey preached on God's heart for us to serve one another because of the freedom we have in Christ. The world would say that freedom is doing what we want when we want, but God declares that true freedom is found in selflessness. Pastor Josh spoke on 5 keys to serving others as signs of true freedom. Let's take on this message and build others up through the fullness we have received in Christ!
