Liquid Church

2020 has been one broken year: From a global pandemic, to racial unrest, economic turmoil, remote learning, unemployment, election drama… the list goes on! The Christmas season may make you feel like your life is too broken for God to use you for His purposes. If that’s you, then you’ll be encouraged to know that God actually PREFERS to use broken people. When we’re broken, God gets the glory… and the world gets to see the beauty and love of Jesus in a new light!

In this message from Liquid Church’s 2020 Christmas Eve services, Pastor Tim Lucas shares  about the beauty of our brokenness found in 2 Corinthians 4 in the New Testament of the Bible. In this passage, the apostle Paul shares how we can have an unbreakable faith that sustains us through difficult and dangerous times.

If you long to learn how God could use you in your brokenness, listen to this message for biblical encouragement and real-life examples of God’s redemption of broken people.

If you’re trying to reconcile a broken relationship, but not sure where to start, you should know that forgiveness and reconciliation are two different sides of the same coin. See, forgiveness is a one-player game between you and God. But, before you can have reconciliation in a relationship with someone you’ve hurt or who has hurt you, forgiveness must be present. Reconciliation means restoring or fixing a relationship that is broken and needs mending. But how do you even begin to take steps towards reconciliation when you may be filled with fear, shame and pain?

In this message from Part 3 of Liquid Church’s “A Christmas Carol” series, Pastor Nithin Thompson shares 5 steps to biblically begin reconciling a broken relationship: Whether that’s a relationship with a romantic partner, a co-worker, friend or estranged family member. Who is God asking you to give the gift of reconciliation too? You may not be able to change the past, but God can transform your future!

When you think of forgiveness, does a particular person or situation come to mind? You may be wondering… How can you forgive someone when it’s so hard? Does forgiveness mean reconciling your relationship with the offender? Oftentimes, the holiday season has a way of highlighting the problems and pain we feel. So, in order to actually experience the true joy of Christmas, we need to learn what biblical forgiveness really looks like...and how can we take steps towards forgiving when it’s difficult to do.

In this message from Part 2 of Liquid Church’s “A Christmas Carol” series, Pastor Tim Lucas explains that biblical forgiveness is NOT minimizing the seriousness of the offense. Forgiveness does NOT necessarily mean reconciliation. Forgiveness is NOT forgetting what happened. Forgiveness, of all things, is NOT fair…. Because if God were fair, we would be paying for our own sins instead of being covered by the sacrificial forgiveness of Jesus.

Watch this message to learn 3 biblical ways to practically forgive someone when it’s hard or feels impossible to do on your own.

When someone hurts or offends you, how do you handle it? Do you hold a grudge or learn to overcome offenses? Take this example from the classic tale A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. The main character Ebenezer Scrooge is an old miser who experienced a string of hurts in his life. Scrooge’s chains to his past led to him becoming a bitter, lonely old man. Like Scrooge, we all have things we become offended by - but if you don’t learn how to overlook and overcome hurt, you can end up like Scrooge - haunted and chained up to the ghosts of your past.

In this message from Part 1 of Liquid Church’s “A Christmas Carol” series, Pastor Kayra Montanez teaches us how to overcome offenses like David did in 1 Samuel 17 of the Old Testament. In this famous Bible story we learn that David overcame offenses from his family, authority and enemy intimidation to defeat the Philistine giant, Goliath. See, David knew that life is too short and his CALLING was too great to stay chained to the past. He did not allow others’ offenses to drag him down.

With God’s guidance and the Holy Spirit’s help, you too can learn how to overcome offenses. We can forgive because God forgave us!

In this message from Liquid Church, Pastor Tim Lucas shares the church’s vision for 2021. The big news? Liquid Church’s COVID-19 Christmas Offering will help cancel the unpaid medical debt of hundreds of people living below the poverty line in every county in New Jersey where Liquid Church has a campus. Why do this? Because Jesus canceled our debt to sin.

Pastor Tim shares from Leviticus 25 all about the year of jubilee for the Israelites - and how, this new year, we can have our own little year of jubilee in New Jersey during a particularly challenging time for those hit hardest by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Not sure where to start when it comes to growing your faith? In this message from Part 5 of Liquid Church’s series through The Chosen, Pastor Nithin Thompson walks us through how Simon Peter went from a life of shallow faith to become one of the 12 disciples. The Chosen is a powerful multi-season TV show. Through the show and in Luke 5:3-11, we see Simon Peter was impulsive, impatient, angry, and prone to violence. Yet, Jesus miraculously met him, just as he was, and called him to become the rock that Christ built the early Church on.

If you can relate to Simon and feel your faith has been stagnant or even backsliding this year, know that Jesus is calling you deeper. He wants to guide you as you grow your faith. Watch this message from Liquid Church to learn how you can build deeper trust, turn to God in deeper repentance, and watch Jesus reveal your deeper purpose!

The multi-season show The Chosen portrays Matthew the tax collector as a social outcast. See, Matthew was isolated in Jewish culture because tax collectors were known as sinners who overtaxed the Jewish people for their own profit. Today as we face a worldwide pandemic, physical isolation is something we have all become familiar with.

In this message from Part 4 of Liquid Church’s The Chosen series, Pastor Jonathan Wilson names three cages of isolation that God has called us out of: Self-Isolation, Social Isolation which leads to loneliness, and Spiritual Isolation. In the Bible, we see Matthew hid in his isolation behind the tax collector’s booth until Jesus called him out. Like Matthew, what cages of isolation are you hiding in? Wherever you are in your faith journey, Jesus is calling you out of isolation and loneliness to experience communion with Him like never before.

Have you ever heard the term “born again”? While this term may mean many things to many people in our culture, Jesus reveals to us what it truly means to be born again in the Scriptures. The multi-season show The Chosen depicts John 3:1-17, showing Jesus meeting with Nicodemus, a devout Jewish religious leader known as a Pharisee.

Nicodemus met Jesus at night and had his world turned upside down. Through his story, we can discover how to trade-in dead religion for a living relationship with Christ! See, being “born again” is a supernatural work of God from start to finish - when everything you have been taught as a Christian becomes real, and you develop a personal relationship with God.

Have you been born again? Watch this message to visualize Jesus’ encounter with Nicodemus and learn how you too can be born again of God’s Holy Spirit.

When you believe in Jesus Christ for salvation, you are no longer possessed by your past, defined by your brokenness, or labeled by your mistakes... Jesus chooses to RESCUE, RESTORE and REDEEM you! That’s exactly what Jesus did in the life of Mary Magdalene, who’s testimony we see throughout the Gospels in the New Testament. Mary Magdalene was a female believer and follower of Christ, whom Jesus had miraculously cast 7 demons out of. The multi-season show The Chosen takes us on a journey to imagine Mary’s life of brokenness and redemption, forever changed when Jesus calls her by name to follow Him. In this message, Pastor Kayra Montanez calls us to follow Mary’s example by leaving our brokenness at the altar and accepting God’s great love. There is no one Christ’s love cannot redeem!

You may recognize the Sunday school tune “Jesus loves the little children.” Throughout the Gospels, we see Jesus elevated the status of children & believed they had unlimited spiritual capacity. Do you trust Jesus with the simple faith of a child? The problem is, we often tend to develop doubts as adults! Childlike faith is actually very clearly portrayed in Episode 3 of the multi-season show about the life of Christ, The Chosen. In this message, Pastor Tim Lucas teaches us 4 qualities of kids we need to emulate in our faith journey. This message walks through Mark 10:13-16 in the New Testament of the Bible and uses the example from The Chosen, Episode 3 to demonstrate the development of childlike faith.
