Too often we’re prisoners to our own thoughts: Those voices telling us to worry, that we aren’t good enough, or that we can’t ever change our behavior. Do you feel trapped by anxiety? Pastor Craig Groeschel says that “Your life is always moving in the direction of your strongest thoughts.” This means that what you think about the most can actually come out in your life. But, when we live in God’s truth, we can wage war on the toxic thoughts that hold us down. We can take captive our negative thoughts and replace them with God’s truth to win the war in our minds.

In this message from part 1 of Liquid Church’s series, Mastermind, Pastor Tim Lucas identifies some of the mental strongholds that hold us back and offers a tool to break them. We pray that, through the healing power of Christ and some practical applications, this message helps you retrain your brain to become the person God designed you to be.

Do you feel like your passion for life has been stolen? Or has your passion for God and the cause of Christ faded? The truth is, the last year and a half took a lot out of us. When passion flees, that’s because passion is more of an emotional response that usually occurs when something is new or exciting. Zeal, on the other hand, is more of an energy or enthusiasm in pursuit of something meaningful, like a great cause or important objective. What passion neglects, zeal protects.

In this message from part 5 of Liquid Church’s series, Renovate, guest Pastor Stephen Francis reflects on what happens after Nehemiah returns to Jerusalem after rebuilding the city’s walls. Upon his return, Nehemiah found that the temple of God had been neglected, and the people of Jerusalem had lost their spiritual fervor for the Lord.

If you feel like your spiritual passion for God has disappeared, we pray this message from Pastor Stephen Francis will help you develop a zeal for God that does not fade.

Have you ever given up just before you completed a project? If not, have you ever been tempted to? The truth is, anytime you try to step out of your comfort zone and accomplish something great, you will likely face some kind of opposition. If you’re trying to renovate your life, it takes time and energy. If you’re trying to finish a race, you become tired and may feel defeated. Don’t throw in the towel just before the finish line. Instead, embrace the power of perseverance as you pursue your God-given goal.

In this message from part 4 of Liquid Church’s series, Renovate, Pastor Tim Lucas reflects on Nehemiah’s journey to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem in just 52 short days. When progress on this massive project was going well, Nehemiah faced a series of opposition. While Nehemiah’s enemies tried to distract and discredit him, God gave Nehemiah discernment and perseverance to stay focused and complete the task at hand.

Like Nehemiah, we can learn to say no to the distractions and temptations that come from the Enemy of our souls. If God has given you a burden to fulfill, we pray this message will encourage you to stand strong and persevere to the finish line.

If you have a God-given burden on your heart, at some point you will likely face opposition on the path to reach your goal. It is true that when God’s work is done, the devil doesn’t like it. The enemy of our souls, Satan, will do everything he can to try and stop you. We may face opposition from others who criticize us, or sometimes we face internal, spiritual opposition in the form of doubt, discouragement, and defeat. However, Nehemiah in the Old Testament of the Bible provides a great example for us of how we can stand up to opposition and persevere for the glory of God.

In this message from part 3 of Liquid Church’s series, Renovate, Pastor Tim Lucas reflects on Nehemiah’s journey to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem in just 52 short days. Likewise, if you desire to renovate your world, whether it be your marriage, career, your health, etc… Take heart. Be encouraged. God is with you in the face of opposition.

As you watch this message, we pray that you will be encouraged to stand strong, to courageously persevere and pursue the God-given burden on your heart.

Do you have a God-given goal in your heart, but struggle to know when or how to start taking action towards it? In the Old Testament book of Nehemiah, we learn from an ordinary guy with extraordinary faith how he rebuilt the walls of Jerusalem in just 52 short days. Like Nehemiah, God is calling you to take action for the burdens he has given you. What is he asking you to stand up and do courageously?

In this message from part 2 of Liquid Church’s series, Renovate, Pastor Kayra Montanez shares how you can begin taking action for the cause of Christ in your home, your world, your career, and in God’s church. We see that Nehemiah wasn’t a powerful man in his day - but he didn’t need to be the best. Rather, like Nehemiah, we just need to care the most to take action toward the goals God has placed on our hearts. As we renovate our worlds, we also need to lean on God for patience. We need to trust His perfect timing! Last, God-given goals require careful planning to reach them. You can pray AND plan as you let God into the process and journey.

As you watch this message, we pray that you will see God at work as you take action in your life for His purposes. As you courageously act on the burden He has placed in you, remember that God has the power to help you complete it!

Are you currently experiencing conflict in a relationship? At some point, it’s inevitable that we will all face broken or hurting relationships: Whether that’s in your marriage, conflict with a co-worker, or conflict with friends or family. Thankfully, there are action steps that God lays out for us in Scripture we can take to restore or repair relationships that are in trouble.

In this message from Part 6 of Liquid Church’s Crazy Happy series, Pastor Tim Lucas shares 6 steps to help you fix a broken relationship. God’s word in the Bible shows us that how we relate to God is actually connected to how we relate to others. Scripture says in 1 John 4:20 that “if someone says “I love God” but hates a fellow believer, that person is a liar; for if we don’t love people we can see, how can we love God, whom we cannot see?”

Based on The Beatitudes - or beautiful attitudes - from Jesus’ famous Sermon on the Mount, these mysterious verses reveal God’s plan for us to live a blessed, abundant life. Part of that Crazy Happy life means restoring relationships that are broken. Watch this message to learn how you can follow Christ’s example of a ministry of reconciliation.

Is there someone in your life that demonstrates integrity well? While our world often looks at the outward appearance of how things seem to be, God looks at the heart. As Christians, living a life of integrity matters to God.

In this message from Part 5 of Liquid Church’s Crazy Happy series, Pastor Kayra Montanez shares 4 things that contribute to becoming a person of integrity. To live your life with integrity means you live above reproach. You have character. You are honest and upright. Integrity means all aspects of your life are integrated - not compartmentalized. While we don’t always get this right, integrity ultimately means that you are consistent in your values and behaviors. You’re the same person at home as you are at work and church and everywhere in between.

Based on The Beatitudes - or beautiful attitudes - from Jesus’ famous Sermon on the Mount, these mysterious verses reveal God’s plan for us to live a blessed, abundant life. Watch this message to learn how you can follow Christ’s example of a life lived with integrity.
