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 heart, evangelists proclaim His good news, pastors embody His shepherding care, and teachers ground us in His truth. Together they display Christ's fullness and bring the church into maturity.   Listen in now to hear Life Center Church's latest Sunday message from Pastor Colt.   ⛪️ Connect with us ⛪️    https://www.lifecenternyc.com/   https://www.instagram.com/lifecenternyc/

Throughout Scripture, men and women built altars as places of encounter surrender and remembrance. Platforms host people but altars host the presence of God. Altars are where fire falls. They are not built for display but for dwelling. The invitation is simple: make room again. Rebuild what has been neglected. Offer your life as a living sacrifice. Let the altar of your heart never go out.   Listen in now to hear Life Center Church's latest Sunday message from Pastor Rich.    ⛪️ Connect with us ⛪️    https://www.lifecenternyc.com/   https://www.instagram.com/lifecenternyc/

This past Sunday Pastor Colt brought a timely and powerful word from Ephesians 3 on prayer. Paul's prayer in this chapter demonstrates four essentials of Apostolic prayer: 1. We pray in submission 2. We pray from His riches 3. We pray to grow in love 4. We pray beyond ourselves   Prayer flows from the access we've been given to the Father and draws us deeper into truly knowing Him.     Listen in now to hear Life Center Church's latest Sunday message from Pastor Colt.    ⛪️ Connect with us ⛪️    https://www.lifecenternyc.com/   https://www.instagram.com/lifecenternyc/

"Becoming intercession isn't just praying from a distance. It's being willing to be the answer to your own prayer. Faith is faithfulness. To truly stand in the gap is to let God use your life as part of His response." - Jensen Carlsen.

They carry deep history with our church and imparted a powerful word that stirred our hearts and strengthened our faith.   Listen in now to hear Life Center Church's latest Sunday message from Guest Speakers Amy and Jensen Carlsen.    ⛪️ Connect with us ⛪️    https://www.lifecenternyc.com/   https://www.instagram.com/lifecenternyc/

There are moments when God sends a voice that speaks directly to the heart of what He is doing, and Sunday with Stacey Campbell was one of those moments. Her prophetic message stirred something deep within us as she urged the Church to rise to its true position of influence. It was a call to infuse every place we are called to lead with the justice, righteousness, and values of the Kingdom. We believe this is the word for this hour, and we are committed to walking it out together.   Listen in now to hear Life Center Church's latest Sunday message from Guest Speaker Stacey Campbell.   ⛪️ Connect with us ⛪️    https://www.lifecenternyc.com/   https://www.instagram.com/lifecenternyc/

If you've been sensing a shift but not sure what to do next, this message was for you. Pastor Rich shared how we can position ourselves for Kairos moments. These are divine, God-appointed windows of time where things align, accelerate, and move forward in ways only He can orchestrate. Here are four ways we're learning to stay in position: Be still — Stop striving. Let your heart slow down and recognize that He is near. Stand firm — Hold on to truth, walk in obedience, and stay grounded in faith. Know He is with you — Even in the battle or the unknown, He hasn't left your side. Praise and give thanks — Worship keeps us aligned and opens the door to more. Take time this week to ask God what positioning looks like for you in this season. He's still speaking.   Listen in now to hear Life Center Church's latest Sunday message from Pastor Rich.   ⛪️ Connect with us ⛪️    https://www.lifecenternyc.com/   https://www.instagram.com/lifecenternyc/

From 18 felonies to fearless faith, Richie Seltzer shared how knowing about Jesus isn't the same as knowing Him. He didn't just find salvation; he found relationship. One where you talk and listen, walk in obedience, and live with joy that isn't tied to circumstance but grounded in the presence of God. We weren't saved to stay silent. Richie reminded us that fear of man will always try to keep us quiet, but we were commissioned to go. Matthew 28:19 isn't a suggestion. It's a mandate. The world doesn't need more passive believers. It needs bold ones who know Him, hear Him, and follow wherever He leads.

There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death (Proverbs 14:12). Rod and Marion Hall shared what it means to walk with God through seasons of family, missions, ministry, and surrender. Not driven by culture or human wisdom, but rooted in the way of the Spirit and the pursuit of the Kingdom of God.  “Blessed is the one who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked… but whose delight is in the law of the Lord” (Psalm 1). This is the path that forms us, steadies us, and reveals the heart of the Father.   Listen in now to hear Life Center Church's latest Sunday message from Guest Speakers Rod and Marion Hall.   ⛪️ Connect with us ⛪️    https://www.lifecenternyc.com/   https://www.instagram.com/lifecenternyc/

Not every delay is a detour. Sometimes it's divine alignment. This Sunday, Pastor Colt continued our journey through Ephesians with a powerful word from chapter 3. Paul, writing from a Roman prison, makes an unusual claim: “I am a prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles.” (Eph. 3:1) He doesn't see himself as confined by Rome or by men, but captured by Christ. His life, his hardship, has been sovereignly authored by God. Paul received divine revelation not just for himself, but for the Church. And the cost of carrying that revelation was real. Yet he embraced it. Because he understood that God's wisdom isn't always revealed in ease, but in the places where perseverance meets purpose. "This grace was given to me, to preach to the Gentiles the boundless riches of Christ." (Eph. 3:8) You may be walking through hardship, or even suffering, but seek the Lord for his purpose and will. God may ultimately be using your circumstances to display His gospel and reveal His glory.

Six things can knock us out of position: Dryness of spirit Unbelief Disappointment and sorrow Distraction Shame and condemnation Forgetfulness of identity But God is inviting us to reposition. To realign. To return to His feet. Because God is preparing an unusual outpouring that will shake cities and shift cultures. And an unusual outpouring deserves an unusual response.

Jesus obeyed to the point of death, dying in our place so we could live in His. So why speak defeat when He already won? Why agree with lies when He called you beloved, chosen, whole? Every thought that rises up against the knowledge of God must bow. And the weapon is not just in your head, it's in your mouth. Fight thoughts with words. Silence fear with truth.

This past Sunday, Pastor Rich brought a powerful word on the application of the blood of Jesus. It's not enough to know about the cross. We're called to engage with it. Like the Israelites had to apply the lamb's blood to their doorposts, we apply the blood of Jesus by faith. That's the power of the applied blood of Jesus.

his is the prayer Jesus prays for the Church: that we may be one. A yes to Jesus is a yes to His body. Before the cross, Jesus asked the Father to make us one with Him and with each other.

This past weekend at Life Center was a glimpse of heaven on earth, where the Father's love met us and His glory was reflected in surrendered hearts. The Father's love is not earned, it's received. We're not orphans striving for approval — we're sons and daughters learning to rest in the love we already have. From pressure to His pleasure. From striving to abiding. From fear to family. This is the way of the Kingdom.   Listen in now to hear Life Center Church's latest Sunday message from Guest Speaker Lief Hetland.  Listen in now! ⛪️ Connect with us ⛪️  https://www.lifecenternyc.com/ https://www.instagram.com/lifecenternyc/

The prayer you need to pray daily is Ephesians 1:17-19—that God would give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation to grow in the deep knowledge of Him. If our pursuit of God is only for personal gain, we have missed the highest calling. He Himself is the prize, the fullness we were created for. To see Him as He is, to grasp the hope of His calling, and to walk in the power that raised Christ from the dead—this is a treasure with eternal reward. Keep praying, keep seeking, and let your heart be awakened again and again.   Listen in now to hear Life Center Church's latest Sunday message from Pastor Colt.  Listen in now! ⛪️ Connect with us ⛪️  https://www.lifecenternyc.com/ https://www.instagram.com/lifecenternyc/

This Sunday, Guest Speaker Katie Luse reminded us that God calls us to rest because He knows we need it. When we obey, we step into alignment with His design, making space to hear His voice, receive His peace, and walk in His authority. The storm you can rest through, you have authority over. Sabbath is resistance against anxiety, striving, and exhaustion. It's choosing trust over control. This week, step away from the noise, stop letting the world dictate your rhythm, and walk in the rest God commands. How will you practice Sabbath this week?

"I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display my power in you and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth... Therefore, God has mercy on whom he wills, and he hardens whom he wills." (Romans 9:17-18) This past Sunday, Frank Mason reminded us that God is here, He's in control, and He cares. Frank spoke regarding the biblical storyline of Israel as the chosen people of God and emphasized that we are called to honor Israel, as those to whom God first made a convent with.  Our past includes many circumstances which were out of our control, yet even our broken beginnings can be redeemed by Jesus our Messiah. As we honor our roots and those who came before us, we are called to trust God's plan instead of leaning on our own understanding.

Bill shared how prayer is an invitation to an intimate relationship with God and when we pray to our Father we're simply coming to God as His beloved children. He encouraged us that as His children, we should depend on God for everything and find our security and confidence in His love for us. He taught that in areas where we have anxiety, God wants to take us deeper into understanding of God as a loving Father.  Draw near to our loving Father who desires a relationship with us.
