Liquid Church

Have you heard of the incredible moment from the Bible when Jesus humbly washed His disciples' feet? Picture it: the Son of God down on his knees, washing away the dirt and grime from the feet of these grown men, even from the feet of Judas, who He knew would later betray Him. This is the picture of true humility… of servant leadership.

Now, wrapping our minds around this type of servant leadership that Jesus modeled isn't easy. He intentionally took on the role of a humble servant, kneeling down to care for the tired, dusty feet of His followers. Imagine the scene: dusty roads, weary fishermen, and there's Jesus, showing us that serving others isn't just a task—it's a way of life.

So, what does that really mean for us today? It means that serving others isn't a chore, but a joyous part of who we are as Christ followers. The Church isn't just for our personal benefit, it exists to serve the world. Our purpose is to love others and make a real difference. God has blessed you to bless others—to fulfill His will and finish the work He entrusted to you.

Are you ready to step into the humble shoes of Jesus and serve with all your heart? Embrace this calling with joy and passion, knowing that by following Jesus's example, you're not just making a difference—you're living out your true purpose in this world.

Watch Pastor Cuyler Black’s message and learn what true humility looks like.

Do you have a heart of generosity? Generosity is a concept that goes beyond just giving money to others, but speaks to the core of our faith and relationship with God. 

When we turn to the Bible, we learn that generosity isn’t about the amount you give, it’s the attitude and sacrifice behind your gift. In a story known as the “the widow’s mite,” we see Jesus observing people as they give their offerings at the temple. While many wealthy individuals made grand gestures, Jesus noticed a poor widow quietly offering just two small coins, which was all she had to live on.

Jesus emphasizes that true generosity stems from the heart, not from abundance, but from a willingness to trust God completely. So, what’s your attitude toward giving? Are you merely tipping God, or are you giving sacrificially, trusting in His provision? 

The principle of tithing, giving the first 10% of our income back to God, isn't about legalistic rules but about demonstrating our faith and trust in God's abundance. By embracing a mindset of abundance and trust, we open ourselves up to God's blessings in ways we can't imagine. So, where are you on your journey to generosity? Are you ready to trust God with your first and best, knowing He will bless the rest?

Watch Pastor Tim Lucas’s message and learn what a generous heart looks like.

Did you know that taking a day of Sabbath, or rest, is one of God’s commands for our life? Even God took a day off. After creating the earth and everything on it in six days, the Bible tells us that He rested on the seventh day. If God took a day of rest, so can we!

A true, biblical Sabbath spans 24 hours and involves four essential elements: stopping, resting, delighting, and worshiping. When we stop, we do no work, paid or unpaid. Resting has three components - the physical where we sleep; the mental and emotional, where we calm down, relax and process our week, and the spiritual, where we rest in God’s love. Delight means that we partake in activities that bring joy to our lives. Finally, we WORSHIP! And, worship is not just music. Worship is also where we surrender to God, giving Him our whole heart. When we unite as a church community to offer our heartfelt songs of devotion to God, it profoundly impacts and molds us.

Culture tells us to work, work, work. God commands us to rest. So stop - designate a day each week. Rest - set clear boundaries. Delight - do things that bring joy and fulfillment. Finally, you worship. When we gather as a family to worship God, connecting with worship songs and in community, we're not just praising Jesus, we're also cheering each other on and lifting each other up.

Watch Pastor Tim Lucas’s message and learn what a proper Sabbath looks like and how taking one can bring you closer to God.

Are you feeling disconnected from God in the chaos of your daily life? Finding time for meaningful connection can feel like a daunting task. The good news is there's a simple yet powerful practice that can help anchor us: PRAYER. Prayer isn't just a religious obligation. It is the way to tap into something deeper within ourselves and connect with God. It's about finding moments of stillness and reflection in the midst of our busy lives.

Take a cue from the life of Jesus himself. Despite the demands and pressures he faced during his ministry, he consistently made time to seek solitude and communicate with his Father through prayer. His example serves as a reminder that even in the busiest seasons of life, prayer is essential for finding peace, guidance, and clarity.

So how do we make prayer a priority in our own lives? It starts with acknowledging and surrendering the distractions that pull us away from this practice. It's about intentionally creating space in our daily routines to quiet the noise and listen for that still, small voice within. By embracing this commitment to prayer, we open ourselves up to a deeper spiritual connection and a greater sense of purpose. It's through this practice of intentional prayer that we can experience true transformation and find ourselves more aligned with our values and beliefs.

Watch Pastor Kayra Montañez’s message and learn how to break free of the distractions and spend more time in prayer, which will strengthen your relationship with God.

Did you know that early followers of Jesus weren’t called Christians? They were simply called followers of “The Way.” Their commitment went beyond mere adherence to religious customs; it was a lifestyle deeply rooted in the teachings of Jesus. These followers placed an emphasis on having a vibrant, personal connection with God, and a deeper, more fulfilling existence characterized by joy, purpose, and meaningful relationships.

If you are a follower of Jesus today, you should know that to truly experience the promises of God, we must embody the practices of Jesus. Just as Jesus lived in community with his disciples, we too, are created for connection and mutual support! The church is a part of this. The church isn’t a building, but is best described as a community of brothers and sisters.

The truth is many of us long for deeper community and friendships. In the midst of our busy lives, packed with family commitments, career responsibilities, and everyday tasks, we want deeper fulfillment. One powerful way to address this longing is to actively participate in a community of believers, where the teachings of Jesus are not merely observed but lived out. We’re talking about ACTIVE engagement. That’s what leads to spiritual growth, mutual encouragement, and ultimately a more purposeful life.

So, let us challenge you to step out of isolation and join together with others. It will not only enrich your own life, but also play a vital role in spreading the message of Jesus, following the example set by his disciples. So, what’s your next step? You’re invited to engage with a small group at church and experience the profound impact of authentic community!

Watch Pastor Tim Lucas’s message and discover the importance of living in community with others who share your faith.

Do you have someone in your life that you constantly feel you are in battle with? It is easy to seek revenge when you feel attacked, but instead try this approach: seek refuge in God alone.

If we turn to the Bible, David faced the same challenges we face today. Picture this: David is on the run, being chased by King Saul, who's basically on a mission to make David's life miserable. David is literally dodging spears – he is under attack. But, instead of seeking revenge, David goes all in with kindness. He takes the high road, and as he’s hiding out, his cave becomes the stage for one of the most epic 'aha' moments in history.

David's time in the wilderness becomes this powerful analogy for our own struggles, showing us a different way to navigate the chaos in our own lives. Choosing kindness allows us to break the revenge cycle. David chooses sacrificial love, just like Jesus on the cross when He died for us. The cave where David hides becomes this metaphorical space where we wrestle with our mess and emerge transformed, thanks to grace. You too can be transformed!

Watch Pastor Tim Lucas’s message to delve into the depths of why David chose kindness instead of revenge and how we can do the same.

Did you know that as a Christ follower, you have been chosen and anointed by God? You might question why, even though you feel God's anointing, you may not immediately understand where He wants you to serve. There exists a gap between the anointing and the appointing.

If you look at David’s life, it took 20 years after he was anointed by God, until the time he was appointed. David was faithful and sought God and it turns out he was the only person in the Bible who has been anointed 3 times. Do you want to level up your anointing? You may face opposition, which may come from family, friends, co-workers or even strangers. David faced opposition from not only his family, but from Goliath, who he defeated with one rock. 

You have a Father in Heaven who sees you, has chosen you, called you by name, ransomed His son and has given you gifts. Remember, God has chosen and gifted you, and your service doesn't require a church role; it extends to every profession. Young people, forge your unique story, avoiding others' scripts and relying on God's strength in battles. To the older generation, your anointing is still significant – if you're not dead, God is not done.

Watch Pastor Lucas's message to discover how you can live out your own anointing, just as David did.

What does it mean to be anointed by God? Anointing is the power of the Holy Spirit in a Christian’s life. The anointing is the difference between the best you can do and the best God  can do. The plans of God are revealed in the presence of God.

How many of you have at least one difficulty in your life right now?  Our difficulties will either derail us from God’s purposes or develop us for God’s purposes. When God brings you through a dark, difficult moment and you make it to the other side, there is victory. Where there is victory there is authority, where there is authority there is anointing. The reason God brought you through that challenging season is so that you could help someone that’s struggling with the same thing. 

Anointing extends beyond personal benefits; it shapes the legacy left for future generations. Legacy is not merely personal accomplishments but the impact on others. Prayer, especially from parents, transforms them into prophetic figures, emphasizing that the greatest legacy is not in personal achievements but in raising others.

We need to encourage the younger generation to listen and learn from the older one, emphasizing the significance of understanding what not to do as much as what to do. In the context of personal growth, we need to aim higher, leveraging the anointing as an inner strength to surpass usual capabilities and achieve remarkable results. The call is to strive for more and resist settling for the ordinary.

Watch Pastor Todd Crews's message to discover how living in the anointing can inspire and impact the next generation.

Do you know what Christ means? As in, Jesus Christ? It’s not Jesus’ last name. Jesus was THE Christ. It’s a title and it means “The Anointed One.” Or, empowered by God. Anointing is the Bible’s way of describing the power of the Holy Spirit. God’s anointing in your life is the X Factor or IT Factor in your life. It’s what separates Christians from others in this world. 

In this message, we explore 3 key questions. What is anointing? How do you lose it? How do you attract it? First, Anointing is the power of the Holy Spirit in a Christian’s life. It’s the presence of God activating your spiritual gifts for special service to God. But, you can lose God’s anointing. If you grow complacent and let your prayer life go cold and you stop talking with God, we can actually put out the fire of the Holy Spirit within us. You can also attract God’s anointing and that comes down to your heart. Do you have a humble heart that listens to God? One that seeks out Jesus through prayer and scripture? That’s what attracts anointing!

Watch this message from Pastor Tim Lucas, and prepare for a fresh anointing in your own life.

Are you anxious about what 2024 will bring? Are you anxious about your future or your family? We all worry, no matter how strong our faith is in God. We get overwhelmed by stress at work, juggling schedules, knowing what will come in times of uncertainty. 

But, the Bible is so clear that there’s no need to worry. Look at our anchor verse from the Gospel of Matthew: “So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” - Matthew 6:31-34

Matthew says to seek first God and his kingdom, and everything else will sort itself out. Notice that Jesus doesn’t say all of these things going on in your life aren’t important. Instead, he says fix your eyes on the thing that is most important. Jesus reminds us that God will carry the burdens and challenges we face. God cares about all of the things going on in our lives because he loves us so deeply.

Knowing God is in control, is not the same as allowing God to take control. Every challenge you face can be a “let go, let God” moment. When we seek God first, we make God the first part of our lives, by giving Him the first of our lives. One way we can seek God first, is by committing to fasting and praying. We encourage you to start the New Year with a 21-day fast to help you focus on God, and fight back against everyday stresses, worry and anxiety.

Watch this message from Pastor Zach Taylor where he discusses how seeking God first, will lead to a more peaceful life.
