Carl lentz, pastor of hillsong of new york city. His congregation loves him. We thank you for what youre going to do in jesus name. Amen. But music and production would make a rock band blush, the church draws thousands to multiple Services Every sunday. Ive heard it described as the hipster church. You have to have ripped jeans to come here. It is come as you are. That god will never leave you like that. But dont let the big city swagger mislead you.

Everybody on people. Tell me whats up. I really want to have the same heart for people that jesus did. Which is to not see what everybody else saw but try to dig a little bit deeper.
