Do you find it hard to love people you disagree with? In a polarizing election year, we all have people we love who drive us crazy with their strong political beliefs or unpopular opinions.  In Part 2 of this series, Pastor Tim Lucas teaches us 4 Practical Ways to Love People You Disagree With. We need to choose to love our political opponents in a divisive political culture - because no single party can fully represent the Kingdom of God.

Where do Christians fit in during a time when our nation is so politically divided? It’s no secret the United States is deeply divided politically, rationally and economically. As Christians, we can prepare our hearts for the election by putting our faith in Jesus first in a culture dominated by toxic politics.

In this 2-part series, Pastor Tim Lucas teaches us from Mark 12 in the New Testament of the Bible how we can imitate Jesus in a polarizing election year. See, in the first century, there weren’t two political parties - there were four of them lobbying for power! When the leaders of Jesus’ day put Jesus to the test, He led by example by putting his FAITH filter on FIRST.

How will you put your faith first in an election year? Watch this message to learn from the word of God and the life of Jesus how you can avoid Election Infection!

How do you make a big decision? Most of us might weigh the pros and cons… make a list and see which side checks all the boxes. But as a Christian, how do you know if you’re making a decision that leads you in God’s will for your life?

When you make your next big decision, will you listen to God’s voice? Listen to this message from Liquid Church to learn how to develop spiritual discernment in your decision making process!

When it comes to your relationship with God, we all sit in one of three chairs. Is your faith committed, compromised or conflicted? That's how you can tell which chair you’ve chosen. Depending on where you sit, you are either growing in your faith, compromising with the values of the culture, or in conflict with God. Which chair will you choose?

In this message from Liquid Church, Pastor Nithin Thompson reminds us that no matter where we sit today, we can choose a new chair - and find hope along the way. You don’t have to live your life in compromise or unbelief - you can stand, like Joshua did in the Old Testament, and impact generations to come.

“But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.” - Joshua 24:15

We all need a regular oil change to keep our car engines running - likewise, we all need a regular spiritual reboot to keep our spiritual lives healthy. Throughout the Bible, oil symbolizes God’s Holy Spirit. In this message from Liquid Church, Pastor Tim Lucas teaches on the importance of being Anointed in the Holy Spirit and share’s God’s 5-Ingredient Recipe for Living an Anointed Life.

Throughout the Bible, anointing is the ritual act of pouring aromatic oil over a person’s head to set apart kings, priests and prophets for a special purpose: Service to God. Holy anointing oil was made up of 5 key ingredients: Myrrh, cinnamon, calamus, cassia, and olive oil. Each of these ingredients represented God’s power, protection and favor being poured out on the kings and priests of Old Testament times. But today, anointing is the difference between the best you can do on your own and the best God can do when He has His hand over your life.

Watch this message from Liquid Church to see what each ingredient in anointing oil represents - and how these ingredients help you live out an anointed life for God.

Is your spiritual oil tank full? Or are you in need of an oil change? In this message from Liquid Church, Pastor Tim Lucas teaches on the importance of oil to illuminate our spiritual lives. In Matthew 25:1-13, The Parable of the Ten Virgins or Bridesmaids, we learn how the Church can prepare for Christ’s triumphant return.

In this Bible story, wise bridesmaids filled their lamps with oil to signify their preparedness for an ancient wedding - while several foolish bridesmaids were found unprepared and without oil to light their lamps. The story is filled with a powerful truth that describes the condition of God’s Church in the Last Days before Jesus Christ’s return. Pastor Tim notes that many Christians today are asleep like the foolish Bridesmaids. Will you be prepared? We encourage you to keep God fresh in your life each day by listening to the voice of the Holy Spirit and reading God’s word, so that we all may be prepared for Jesus’ return in the Last Days.

In this message from Liquid Church, Youth Pastor Jonathan Wilson helps us gain a new perspective on the explosive power living within Generation Z. We live in such a complex time, most adults instinctively want to protect the next generation from its dangers. But, we need to shift our perspective and realize that God has placed an explosive power in Gen Z that has the ability to impact our world for His glory. That means Gen Z needs to be UNLEASHED upon the world - not shielded from it. As for the rest of us, it’s time to rally behind this generation, understanding that they were created to be world changers.

In this special “Student Takeover” message, our pastor invites a panel of Gen Z High School and College students to join him on stage to share their perspective as well.

In this message from Liquid Church, Pastor Nithin Thompson guides us as we dive deeper into why justice should matter to God’s Church. As part of Liquid Church’s annual At The Movies series, we learn from the movie Just Mercy, which is based on the incredible true story of Walter McMillian, a young man sentenced to die on death row for a murder he did not commit.

Throughout Just Mercy, McMillian’s brilliant young lawyer, Bryan Stevensen, comes alongside him to fight for his freedom from a wrongful conviction. Like Stevenson, there are ways that we, as God’s people, can pursue justice in our everyday lives. As we do, God draws us out of our comfort zone to do things that we would have never expected. Watch the message to learn 3 ways you can be a part of God’s community of justice.

In the murder-mystery comedy movie Knives Out, master detective Benoit Blanc investigates the death of the Thrombey family patriarch after a family gathering gone wrong. Throughout this dramatic mystery movie we see the Thrombey family truly put the “fun” in dysfunction: Before his death, patriarch Harlan Thrombey indulged and enabled his family, fueling a competition for their inheritance.

In part 3 of Liquid Church’s annual At The Movies series, Pastor Nithin Thompson contrasts the Thrombey family inheritance from Knives Out with the greater, Heavenly Inheritance we have in Christ Jesus. Ephesians 1 in the New Testament of the Bible reveals that as Christians, we are heirs to an eternal inheritance passed down to us through Jesus Christ’s perfect life, sacrificial death and miraculous resurrection from the dead.

Have you ever competed in a race? In the movie Ford Vs. Ferrari we learn about the true story of visionary car designer Carroll Shelby (played by Matt Damon) and driver Ken Miles (played by Christian Bale) who come together to build a revolutionary race car for the Ford Motor Company in 1966. Their goal: Win the 24 hours of Le Mans, the most famous endurance car race in the world.

In part 2 of Liquid Church’s annual At The Movies series, Pastor Tim Lucas draws comparisons between the car race Le Mans from Ford Vs. Ferrari to running the race of faith with endurance. While the first-century writers of Hebrews 12 probably didn’t have modern race cars in mind, the metaphor of a long-distance endurance race symbolizes how Christ calls his followers to run the race of the Christian life with endurance all the way to the finish line… Where we will be embraced by our Savior Jesus in Heaven for eternity.
