The Right Heart In A Bad Situation - Pastor Tyrone Jones
The Right Heart in Difficult Times Exploring David's resilience and character amidst challenges. In a world where our responses can define us, Tyrone Jones' message reminds us of the power of character and the heart we carry through life's storms. A Warm Welcome Tyrone, speaking from Wisconsin for the first time, shares his heartfelt gratitude for the warm reception from the Hudson campus. He expresses excitement over his journey, noting the warm connections he’s developing with fellow pastors and their congregations. The Heart of the Matter Tyrone introduces his message titled "The Right Heart in a Bad Situation," drawing from the story of David in 1 Samuel. He emphasizes that God looks at the heart, not outward appearances. This becomes a pivotal lesson as Tyrone explores how David maintained his integrity amidst the madness of King Saul. "Don’t let someone else’s sin determine who you become." — Tyrone Jones Navigating Jealousy and Pride Tyrone paints a vivid picture of the challenges David faced with Saul, who let pride and jealousy cloud his judgment. As Saul became increasingly suspicious and fearful of David's growing fame, Tyrone highlights the dangers of allowing such emotions to dictate our actions. He warns, "Pride is the gateway drug of the soul," stressing its ability to lead us down a path of destruction. The narrative serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of guarding our hearts and maintaining our character, even when others around us are faltering. Faithfulness in Secrecy A crucial takeaway from Tyrone's message is the idea that faithfulness in secret is what God values most. David did not seek the spotlight; he played for the Lord, showing that true worship happens away from the eyes of men. "When you do those things that are faithful and secret, God knows where you are." — Tyrone Jones Overcoming Adversity The story of David's rise amid Saul's hostility teaches us about resilience. Tyrone encourages listeners to reflect on their own lives, particularly how they handle conflicts with those they are loyal to. He emphasizes that refusing revenge and bitterness is vital for personal growth and integrity. As Tyrone concludes his message, he leaves us with the assurance that no one can thwart God's blessings on His chosen ones, encouraging us to trust in divine timing and goodness. Reflection In times of turmoil, may we aspire to embody the right heart as David did, allowing our actions to reflect grace rather than retaliation. Tyrone's insights remind us that character is forged in the fires of adversity.

Living on Mission: The Blessings That Flow Through Us - Pastor Matthew Anderson (Ellsworth Campus)
Exploring the deep mission of blessing and its impact on our lives. This week, Pastor Matthew Anderson dives into the powerful theme of blessing as we conclude our series on living on mission. The Call to Blessing Pastor Matt opens with an invitation to reflect on what blessing truly means in our lives. He reminds us that God is the source of all blessings, beginning with His covenant with Abraham. In Genesis 12:1-3, God tells Abraham, "I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing." This establishes a profound principle — blessings are not merely for personal gain but are intended to be shared, creating a ripple effect of goodness in the world. Understanding Our Mission As we navigate through life, Pastor Matt emphasizes the importance of understanding our divine mission. "Nothing is worse than not knowing your mission and purpose," he shares, highlighting how clarity can transform our lives. The mission to bless others is a cornerstone of our faith, urging us to be conduits of God's love and provision. The Nature of Blessing Many people have a distorted view of blessings, often equating them solely with material wealth. Pastor Matt challenges this notion, stating, "Blessing is more than just money; it is the favor of God upon our lives." He encourages us to embrace a broader understanding, recognizing blessings as encompassing peace, wisdom, opportunity, and purpose. A Legacy of Blessing The pastor reminds us that blessings are meant to pass through us to others. In Galatians 3:8-9, we see the continuation of this mission: "In you shall all nations be blessed." Our lives, when aligned with God’s purpose, leave a legacy that impacts generations. God Desires to Bless Us Finally, Pastor Matt reassures us of God’s desire to bless His people. He reminds us that "God approached Abraham, not the other way around." This highlights the truth that blessing is God's idea, and it flows from His love for us. As we conclude this series, let’s carry forward the mission of blessing in our lives. How can you be a blessing this week?

The atmosphere is filled with a sense of unity and devotion, creating a space where personal struggles can be lifted up in prayer.

This declaration of faith encourages listeners to trust in God's word, reinforcing that His love and grace are always enough. The Firm Foundation Reflecting on the stability that faith provides, Matthew states, "I've never been more glad that I put my faith in Jesus, and he's never let me down." This sentiment resonates deeply, especially in times of uncertainty. It emphasizes that our faith acts as a firm foundation, even when the world around us seems to be shaking. A Call to Unity in Worship As the worship continues, Matthew encourages everyone to acknowledge God's presence, saying, "One moment in the presence of God can change everything." The atmosphere shifts as prayers are lifted, inviting a collective yearning for spiritual connection and strength. Trusting in God's Plan Matthew draws from Psalm 25, urging attendees to place their trust in the Lord: "In you, Lord, I put my trust. I trust in you." This scripture serves as a powerful reminder that no one who hopes in God will ever be put to shame. It speaks to the assurance that comes from surrendering our worries and fears to a higher purpose. Living for His Glory In a passionate declaration, Matthew insists that our lives should reflect God's goodness. He states, "Our whole life, let it be for your glory." This powerful statement encourages listeners to view their experiences, both joyful and challenging, through the lens of faith and purpose. As we reflect on Matthew's words, may we find encouragement in the truth that we are not accidents in this life but are made on purpose and for a purpose. For those seeking deeper connection and understanding, this episode is a beautiful reminder of the strength found in faith and community.
The Mission Of God's Word - Pastor Angel Anderson (Ellsworth Campus)
The Mission of God's Word: Insights and Reflections Exploring the power and purpose of Scripture in our lives. Good morning, C3 family. As we gather on this beautiful morning, it's a time to reflect on the mission of the Word of God. Today’s message reminds us of the importance of having the Scriptures in our lives and the purpose they serve not only for us but for generations to come. The Importance of Scripture Angel Anderson emphasizes the need for every member of our C3 family to have access to a Bible. If you’re in need of a physical copy, be sure to visit guest services today. This is not just a book; it is a guiding light for our lives. "This book or this word will be written for generations to come, that a people yet to be created may praise the Lord." — Pastor Angel Anderson This profound insight underlines why we must engage with the Scriptures daily. It is a testimony to God’s faithfulness and a record of His promises. Mission Splatter: Staying Focused In our lives, we may experience what Angel calls "mission splatter" — distractions that lead us away from what God intends for us. One way this occurs is when individuals use the Word to validate their actions rather than to reflect and examine their hearts. This misuse can dilute the true mission of the Word. Angel encourages us to ask: What is the true mission of God's Word? It is not merely to win arguments or point fingers but to guide us and help us know God better. Power and Purpose of God's Word The Scriptures are described as inspired by God, meant to teach, correct, and equip us for every good work. Angel highlights that God’s Word carries a specific purpose — it is not passive. "If God says it in His Word, you can take it to the bank. It will happen." — Angel Anderson When we engage with the Word, we are not just reading; we are participating in a transformative process that God has set in motion for our lives. Personal Application So how do we apply these truths? It begins with exposure. God's Word needs us to be exposed to it; it doesn’t need our help to work. Angel reminds us that: - Our faith grows by hearing the Word. - The Word of God is personal; it must become your own before it can effectively impact your life. Let’s ensure that we approach the Scriptures not as a mere obligation but as a source of life and guidance. "Until God's word becomes your word, and your word becomes God's word, it's not effective." — Angel Anderson This week, let’s commit to opening our Bibles, reflecting on what we read, and allowing it to shape us personally. The blessings of God come through obedience and engagement with His Word. Let’s embrace this mission together, ensuring that we are not distracted but focused on the powerful truths found in the Scriptures. As we conclude, take a moment to reflect on how you can incorporate the Word of God more deeply into your life. Perhaps it’s through daily reading, meditation, or sharing insights with a friend. The journey of discovery is just beginning, and the Word awaits us.
Church On A Mission - Reconciliation Of Fellowship - Pastor Mylon Anderson (Hudson Campus)
Embracing Freedom Through Worship Discover the transformative power of unity in worship and faith. Worship transcends mere words; it’s a heartfelt expression of unity and faith. This week, Mylon Anderson invites us to reflect on the profound impact of worship in our lives and how it connects us to God and each other. The Power of Freedom in Worship Mylon opens by reminding us of the inherent connection between God and freedom. "Isn't it just like our God? Where He goes, freedom follows. Isn't it just like our God? Breaking chains, making our way. He's always good." These words emphasize that through worship, we can experience liberation and healing. The Unity of the Church Mylon beautifully articulates the essence of the church as a unified body. "What a masterful reflection when we are unified and truly celebrate each other." This sentiment resonates deeply, illustrating how our differences can come together to create a vibrant expression of faith. A Call for Collective Worship He encourages us to come together in worship, stating, "The presence that you give God. Thank you, Father, for the different ways we see you." This acknowledgment of diversity within the church enhances our collective experience, allowing us to appreciate the rich tapestry of individual contributions. Blessings for Generations Mylon concludes with a powerful prayer for future generations, affirming the importance of unity in faith: "May His favor be upon you and a thousand generations." This prayer not only blesses our present but also sets a foundation for the future. Reflection As we embrace this message, let’s carry the spirit of unity and freedom into our everyday lives. Worship is not just an act; it’s a lifestyle that fosters connection with God and our community.
Church On Mission - Mission Lifestyle - Pastor Matthew Anderson (Ellsworth Campus)
Embracing Our Mission: The Power of God's Word Discover the transformative impact of living with purpose in faith. In this week's message, Matthew Anderson passionately reminds us of the importance of grounding ourselves in the word of God and living a life on mission. The Blessed Life and the Word of God Matthew opens with a heartfelt call to the congregation, emphasizing that the blessed life is rooted in God's word. He shares, "The treasure and the authority of God's word on our life cannot be overstated." He encourages everyone to embrace the practice of carrying a physical Bible, highlighting the significance of personal connection with the scripture. A New Fall Resolution Matthew invites the congregation to make a new commitment: "If you don't have a Bible, you can go back to the guest services and say, Pastor Matt said you have a Bible for me." He urges everyone to highlight verses that resonate personally, creating a treasure trove of their spiritual journey. Living with Purpose A central theme in this message is the idea of being missional. Matthew states, "More people get themselves in trouble because they don't have a mission." He recounts the story of a friend who started a church and a clothing ministry, emphasizing that while good works are important, they should align with God's calling. The Importance of Knowing Our Mission Matthew reminds us that our mission as believers is crucial. He quotes 2 Corinthians 5:17-21, asserting that "We are ambassadors for Christ as though God were making his plea through us." This mission not only defines our purpose but also transforms our lives and relationships with others. The Example of Jesus Matthew draws on the example of Jesus, who knew his mission and fulfilled it without hesitation. He recounts the story of Zacchaeus, illustrating how Jesus sought out those who were lost, reminding us that "Jesus came to seek and to save that which was lost." Reflection As we reflect on this message, consider how you can deepen your understanding of God's word and embrace your mission in life. The journey of faith is not just about personal growth but also about reaching out to others in love and reconciliation. Let this week be a time of renewal as we align ourselves with God's purpose and become effective ambassadors for Christ.

In a world filled with uncertainty, the message of faith and surrender resonates more than ever. Matthew Anderson leads us through a powerful reflection on finding joy amidst chaos and the importance of building our lives on a solid foundation.

This powerful declaration invites us to consider what we’re building our lives upon. A Call to Surrender One of the most impactful moments is when Matthew speaks about surrendering to God’s will. He reflects on Psalm 51, where David pleads for a clean heart. "God's not looking for perfect, he's looking for surrender," he states. This simple yet profound truth encourages us to approach God with our brokenness, knowing that He is always willing to renew us. > "Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit in me." — Matthew Anderson This prayer encapsulates the essence of surrender and the hope that comes with it. Matthew reassures us that no matter our past, we can always return to God and experience His grace. Embracing Community As the gathering continues, there’s an invitation to fellowship and connection. Matthew talks about upcoming events at C3 Church, emphasizing the importance of belonging and growing together in faith. The fellowship night and next-gen night are not just events but opportunities to deepen our relationships and share our journeys. In closing, Matthew reminds us that surrendering to God doesn’t mean we lose ourselves; instead, it transforms us into who we are meant to be.

What Steals the Mission - Pastor Angel Anderson
Staying on Mission: Avoiding Distractions in Faith > Discover how distractions can derail your spiritual journey and mission. Good morning. In our latest discussion, Angel Anderson shares a powerful reminder about the importance of staying focused on our spiritual mission amid life's distractions. The Threat of Distraction Angel emphasizes a crucial point: the greatest threat to the church isn’t external opposition but rather distraction from our mission. This insight is not just for church leaders but for every believer navigating their faith journey. He encourages us to reflect on how often we lose sight of our true purpose due to life’s myriad distractions. > "The greatest threat to the church is not the opposition from the world; it is distraction from our mission." Personal Reflections on Distraction Angel shares a personal anecdote about a Saturday he planned to dedicate to cleaning but found himself sidetracked by a disorganized closet. This relatable story serves as a metaphor for how easily we can drift from our intended path. He relates this experience to our spiritual lives, noting that distractions don’t always come from negative sources, but can simply be the mundane tasks of daily life. The Real Danger: Drifting from Our Purpose Angel challenges us to consider what truly threatens our spiritual vitality. While cultural issues and moral decline are often cited as threats, he argues that the real danger lies in what pulls us away from our mission. He reminds us that the enemy often works subtly, keeping us present but not purposeful. > "If he can't make us deny Christ, then he will settle for making us forget why we are declaring Christ in the first place." Our Identity and Mission Drawing from 2 Corinthians 5:17-20, Angel asserts our identity as new creations in Christ, called to be ambassadors for reconciliation. Understanding who we are in Christ is vital for executing our mission effectively. He encourages us to personalize scripture, reminding us that we are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, and God's special possession. > "Your identity always comes before your mission. We are chosen, we are priests, we are holy, and we belong to God." Conclusion: A Call to Reflection As we consider these thoughts, Angel leaves us with a reflective question: Are we living as ambassadors, or have we drifted from this mission? Our mission is not just to attend church or survive spiritually but to actively reveal Jesus to those around us. Let’s strive to stay focused, avoiding distractions that can lead us away from our calling.
Church On A Mission - Living On Mission - Pastor Mylon Anderson (Hudson Campus)
Embracing Our Mission: The Power of God's Word > Explore how engaging with Scripture fuels our purpose and mission. The Importance of God's Word Our journey begins with a new series on mission living. As Christians, we have a manual to guide us, the Bible, which is essential for our lives. Mylon Anderson reminds us that too many believers are unfamiliar with the very words they profess to follow. He emphasizes the importance of developing a personal relationship with God's Word, stating, "One of my missions in life is to pique your interest so that you will personally develop a relationship with God's Word." Living on Mission As we explore our mission as a church, Mylon challenges us to align our lives with God’s mission. He notes, "When we cooperate with God and we come in union with God on mission, the blessings flow." This is not just a call to action for the church, but for each individual as well. He reminds us that when we honor God in our lives, blessings will follow. Are you seeking more fulfillment? Mylon invites us to discover God's mission for our lives, saying, "Find out what God's mission is in your life, in your thinking, in your attitude, your actions, and as you factor in God, your life will be blessed." A Call to Action Mission is not a passive endeavor; it is active and often requires courage. Mylon draws parallels to the military, illustrating that true mission is offensive, taking ground for the Kingdom of God. He states, "Our mission is letting the Holy Spirit take ground in our lives." Let this be a reminder that we are all sent ones, called to bring peace and hope wherever we go. As Jesus said, "As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you." As we conclude today, I encourage you to reflect on your relationship with Scripture and consider how you can engage with it more deeply. What is God calling you to do? Embrace the mission, and watch how it transforms not only your life but also those around you.
