Are you ready to hear God’s voice and experience His power in a fresh way? Breakthrough is a journey that unveils the power behind prayer and fasting. Fasting is actually an ancient spiritual discipline where you give up physical food for a season for a spiritual purpose. As a way to detox your body, unclutter your mind, and open your heart more fully to God!

The Bible says your Body is a temple of the Holy Spirit. Fasting—giving up certain food and drink in order to cleanse your body and create room for the Spirit—is one of the secret sources of breakthrough power throughout Scripture.

Maybe you need a breakthrough in your health. Maybe you or a loved one is sick and needs God’s healing. Maybe you need a breakthrough in your family or marriage - there’s hard hearts that need softening. Or a relationship that needs repair. Fast about it!  How about your work?  Your business is tanking and you need a breakthrough idea! Or maybe you’re unemployed or seeking God’s direction for a new career? Fast for it!

Watch this message from Pastor Tim Lucas, and see how when human strength is not enough, you can call on heaven’s power for help! Spiritual breakthrough doesn’t just happen spontaneously. You need to actively seek God for it! Are you ready for a breakthrough?

At Christmas we celebrate that Jesus chose to be born in the body of a tiny baby. The infinite God became an infant! Theologians call this the incarnation. The Son of God assumed a human body and a human nature. 100% God, but also 100% man.

This is a display of true humility, which is the quality of lowering oneself in the service of others. Jesus literally chose to leave Heaven to come to Earth to save you. The great message of Christmas is that Jesus chose to humble himself to serve us. While on Earth, he fed the hungry, healed the sick, comforted the hurting, cared for the disabled, and washed the feet of His disciples. And then He gave his life for us: “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” -Mark 10:45.

In this message from Pastor Tim Lucas, we learn about the beauty of humility - it’s not thinking of yourself less. It’s thinking about others more. Watch and learn how to walk humbly with God this Christmas!

We’re going to talk about our pride. Yes, you’re pride… because if we’re honest with ourselves, it is something that we all struggle with. If you reflect upon it, chances are that every time you stepped out of God’s best for your life, and took things into your own hands, it was a result of your pride. And, the bigger the pride, the larger and the harder the fall.

But, this Christmas God is asking you to lay down your pride at his feet, and walk humbly with Him. So, how do you become humble? Humility is something you put on and practice! And there are two great ways to practice humility.

#1) When you walk humbly… you give generously. When we give gifts or give up our time for someone else, we are saying that something, or someone is more important than us.

#2) When you walk humbly… you gravitate towards gratitude. Every good, positive, and beautiful thing in our lives is not our doing or something we deserve, but a gift and a blessing from God.

In this message from Pastor Zach Taylor, learn that when you walk humbly, you’ll gain grace. Because if pride comes before the fall… then God’s grace and favor rests on the humble. This Christmas, walk humbly with God!

How do you show people kindness in the most stressful, frantic, fast-paced, and anxiety producing season of the year? In the Bible a better word for kindness is mercy. Essentially mercy is when you don’t get what you deserve. You deserve to be punished, but instead you receive mercy… forgiveness…pardon.

And God is merciful! He is kind! Thank goodness! Because if God was fair, you would get what your sins deserve! But, because God is rich in mercy, you get what you need, not what you deserve! God lives in a continual, ongoing state of mercy. It’s unending. That means, his mercy is always going to be there and it always has been there. It was there yesterday, it was there today and it will be there tomorrow.

For our part, we need to make room for Mercy. According to Scripture, there’s a VERY DIRECT CONNECTION between our relationship with others - how much mercy and kindness we give them - and how much mercy God gives us! In this message from Pastor Kayra Montanez, be challenged to do two things:

#1) Help anyone hurting around you: God will put someone in your path this week who’s hurting and needs help. Get personally involved.

#2) Forgive people when they mess up: Who’s hurt you recently that you can bless? You can offer forgiveness and do good to them.

This Christmas, Love Mercy and Be Kind!

At Christmas what does God want from us? After all, it’s His birthday! The bible actually answers this question in Micah 6:8: “What does the Lord require of you? Do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with God.” So, what does it mean to DO JUSTICE?

Biblical justice requires three things. #1) Relationship: It’s impossible to have a relationship with God if you don’t have a relationship with the poor #2) Responsibility: To show special care for the vulnerable and oppressed. #3) Resources: You share a portion of the resources God’s given you, with those who need it most.

God tells us that if we watch the back of the poor and oppressed… then God will have our back. And it works both ways. God says: You insult the poor, you insult me. If you ignore the poor, you’re really ignoring me! Conversely: If you are kind to the poor, you’re kind to me. The point is that Jesus is unlike every other deity in world religions because He identifies with the poor. Not with those at the top of the ladder - the rich, the powerful, and the wealthy.

Watch this message from Pastor Tim Lucas, and be challenged to DO JUSTICE! To form relationships with the poor, take responsibility for them, and to act with radical generosity!

This Vision Sunday message will give you a glimpse into the mission God is calling Liquid Church to in 2023. The theme for this year comes from Micah 6:8, which challenges the people of God to do 3 vital things: “Do justice, love mercy and walk humbly with God.”

We believe God is calling us to fulfill the Micah 6:8 vision in 4 key areas of practical need. #1) Feeding our homeless and hungry neighbors both here in NJ and around the globe. Justice begins on a basic level, and that means filling empty stomachs of hungry people. #2) Investing in the growth and discipleship of men, women, married couples, and millennials. #3) Investing in Digital Discipleship. Did you know that every week we have over 2,000+ people watch messages, livestream worship, do devotions, and participate in Small Groups at Liquid online? We want to care for them well! #4) And the cornerstone of Vision Sunday is providing clean water for the poor and thirsty. This is where our vision becomes GLOBAL. We want to reach around the globe to help save and serve families in Rwanda.

In Africa, they have a saying: Water is life. Literally, it’s a matter of life and death. Right now, about 20% of Rwanda lacks access to safe, clean drinking water. Think about this: Today, 2,300 children will die from drinking dirty water, which causes disease. But, the real tragedy is that this is entirely preventable! Watch this video to learn how you can be a part of the work Liquid Church is doing in Rwanda to bring safe, clean drinking water to its people. God gives us the vision… but we need your help to make it a reality!

How do you gauge your spiritual strength: are you thriving or surviving? Another way to ask this question: Is your tank spiritually FULL? Or are you running LOW? Is it time for an oil change? In the Bible, oil is a symbol of the Holy Spirit. Those who are wise have lamps full of fresh oil, meaning they are filled with the Holy Spirit and ready for the return of Christ. But, the fools have a lamp, but they are out of oil, meaning they lack the power and presence of the Holy Spirit in their lives. They aren’t ready for Jesus to return.

In this message from Pastor Tim Lucas, we hear that the Modern American Church is asleep and unmoved by the chaos and sin that’s become a “normal” part of life. The church is desperately low on oil! Many Christians are not ready for the moment of Christ’s return - they are foolish and sadly, out of oil. Pastor Tim presents some convicting and challenging statements to viewers.

Watch this video then take time for personal prayer. Invite God into your heart. Invite Him to wake you up and give your fresh oil and fresh strength in this season!

There are 3 types of prayers that can get you through the highs and lows of life and help you grow closer to God. If you practice these 3 prayers on a daily basis, you will discover that God is closer to you than you think. Watch this message from Pastor Zach Taylor and learn how to pray #1) God, Meet Me In The Mundane #2) God, Hear My Cry In The Crisis and #3) God, Speak To Me In The Silence.

Most of us don’t realize how much God loves us! Did you know He’s crazy about you? He obsesses over you. He watches your every move. He talks about you to all his friends. He thinks you're cuter than you really are! He sees the best in you. And God has the healing, the resilience, and the strength that we need to face anything in this world. 130 times in the Scriptures, God is referred to as a Father. What that means is that overwhelmingly so, God wants you to know that you are his child and that he wants to take care of you!

So, together let’s learn 3 key prayers to say daily so that you can connect with God and receive the resilience and strength that he has for you!

Ever heard the expression “the Spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak?” You have a weakness… maybe you’re dragging around anger or unforgiveness. Maybe it’s an addiction: to junk food, alcohol, pot, or porn. You want to be free of this weight on your shoulders and burden in your life. The Spirit is willing. But you just can’t seem to do it. The flesh is weak.

In this message, Pastor Tim Lucas talks about “unconverted places.” The spaces and cracks in our lives that are not quite lined up with God’s best for us. We all have the capacity to sin - even if you’ve placed your trust in Jesus and call yourself a Christian. The good news is that God wants to set you FREE! Watch and discover how today you can begin walking in freedom and victory! Say goodbye to whatever it is that is dragging you down - it’s all part of our journey to becoming resilient.

Developing resilience in our lives is all about relying on God for all of our needs. The world around us tells us to pull ourselves up by our bootstraps - that we don’t need anyone or anything else, just grit and determination. But, God invites us to come to Him and promises that He will give us the strength we need. Thank goodness! Because as we walk through life, it is filled with too many burdens and heartaches. God offers to carry those for you! Being RESILIENT is about RELIANCE on God!

But, let’s be honest - does the rest that God promises feel out of reach? You’re tired and worn out by whatever burdens you’ve been carrying. You want rest, but it seems unlikely. In this message, Pastor Zach Taylor will encourage you - “don’t give up!” Whatever troubles you are facing, your story is not done, because God is not done with you! With Jesus, you can find the resilience you’re looking for.
