Liquid Church

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,...

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 i...

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...

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 p...

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...

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...

At Christmas, we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ and the fact that He was sent to this earth to save us. Did you know that Jesus’ birth was first announced to shepherds grazing their flocks of sheep in the fields of Bethlehem? An angel announced the miraculous news to lowly shepherds! Maybe that’s because Jesus is also known as the Lamb of God. Your destiny and the destiny of the whole world i...

We all have family or friends who add to the tension of holiday gatherings. Who is that person for you? Do you handle them with outrage, take offense, or show them love? There are 4 types of crazy makers! The first are people who are demanding; bossy, pushy and controlling. They dominate every conversation. The second is disapproving; either they get their feelings hurt easily or they are highly c...

How do we grab ahold of the joy that God wants to give us? Before joy can be down in your heart, someone has to put it there. Every major scriptural lesson on joy is of it being GIVEN to us. Joy is not magically found in your heart, it is found in God! I bet you would like more joy in your life, right? Sure, we all do! So, here are three practical ways to take joy with you wherever you go and it i...

Do you know what Advent is? It’s a 4-week season in the Christian calendar leading up to Christmas Eve! The word means “coming” or “arrival.” So, Advent looks back to the first arrival of Jesus – the birth of Christ 2000 years ago. But, Advent also looks forward to the second coming of Christ when Jesus will return as our Glorious King. That means you have a great reason to HOPE this Christmas sea...

Do you pray solo or with others? Matthew 18:19-20 says, “I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.  For where two or three gather in my name, there I am with them.” There’s something about the power of praying partners…..when believers come together, that wins the battle and brings the breakthrough!  You may feel like...

Have you ever thought about how the prayers you pray today will impact generations of your family to come? What will be the legacy you leave your children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and future generations? Legacy is to live in a way that outlasts us.  We must remember how powerful prayer is and not just pray for today. Don’t just pray for one family member to get saved….pray for your enti...

Do you feel worn out, tired, discouraged, or frustrated by a situation you are in and your prayers have not been answered? Don’t stop praying! You should keep praying through it and the walls will fall! The plans of God are revealed in the presence of God.  God does not give you marching orders until you fall to your knees in prayer. If you look at Joshua’s story in the Bible, we see that Joshua w...

Have you ever felt the power of prayer in your life? If not, has it discouraged you from continuing to pray? There is power in persistence and if you keep at it, you WILL see the rewards from doing so. So, today let us urge you to keep praying and to never give up! How much you pray is just as important as the words you pray, if not more so. The consistency of your prayer is as important as the co...

Do you have a mountain in your life that you have to overcome? What do we mean by a mountain? Well, it’s a  situation that seems impossible and looks immovable! It’s too big… too heavy to carry… too steep to overcome on your own. What is your mountain? Maybe you want to start a family, but can’t conceive a child. You’re facing a mountain of infertility. Or maybe you have tried counseling and thera...

Do you remember the first time you visited a church? Did you feel welcome? That answer could depend on the doorkeeper. In the times of the Old Testament (thousands of years ago), doorkeepers were people who stood outside of the Holy Temple. Now, this wasn’t a sought after job, because the further away you were from the inside of the temple, the less important you were considered to be.  At churche...

Is time spent on your phone moving you closer to Jesus or further away? Our devices are discipling us and we have to find time to redeem the screen. The average American checks their phone 344 times a day, that’s once every 2.8 minutes. 89% of us check our phones as soon as we wake up. Spending any more than 3 hours a day on your cell phone makes you 378% more likely to suffer from weight gain and...

So, what are the TWO things that every family needs? Love AND Discipline. Together, these two ingredients will help families flourish. And there’s a reason for that. They are the twin qualities of the heart of God Himself! The goal o...

When we see our names in unlikely places, it can spark something in us that makes us feel recognized or like someone sees what we have to offer. Today, brands like Spotify, Tik Tok and Nike have figured out the power of personalization and participation in reaching the next generation - Gen Z. These kinds of innovations matter to the local church because we want to invest in the faith of the Next...
