Philadelphia was a faithful church. Even though they had little strength, they refused to deny Jesus’ name. They didn’t compromise with culture or waver in their faith. Jesus had no rebuke for them—only praise! And because of their faithfulness, He opened two powerful doors:

1️⃣ The Door of Salvation: The invitation for all people—Jews, Gentiles, sinners, and outcasts—to enter into God’s kingdom through faith in Christ. No one can shut this door!

2️⃣ The Door of Service: An opportunity to share the Gospel and serve others in Jesus’ name.

Sometimes, God shuts doors in our lives—relationships, jobs, or opportunities—but it’s always for our good. When one door closes, He opens another for His greater purpose! As Christians, we must trust God’s timing, stay faithful in trials, and walk boldly through the doors God opens!

The Importance of Taking A Sabbath 38:06

48 weeks ago38:06

38:06

Did you know that God wants to give you rest? Physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually! This is counter to our culture's constant push to move faster and achieve more. Jesus invites us to experience God's rest, a concept rooted in the practice of Sabbatical from Ancient Israel. God freed the Israelites from slavery and commanded them to observe the Sabbath, a DAY of rest every seventh day, as a reminder that they were no longer slaves, but His children. Theologically, there are four key parts to a Sabbath: Stop: Cease all work, both paid and unpaid. Take a break from meetings, emails, and phone calls for 24 hours every week. Rest: Physically and emotionally rest to recharge your body and mind. Delight: Enjoy your family, the fruits of your labor, and activities you love. Take pleasure in creation. Worship: Dedicate time to worship God, praise Him, read His Word, and connect with the Holy Spirit. A sabbatical, happening every seventh YEAR, is a time to step away from work and let your soul recharge. This idea comes from the Bible, specifically from the book of Leviticus. Just like land needs a break to become fruitful again, we also need rest to renew our energy, strength, and motivation. Taking a sabbatical helps prevent burnout and prepares us for more productive and creative work in the future. #Sabbath #Rest #LiquidChurch…

Waiting For God To Answer Your Prayer | Storyteller Part 6 27:59

49 weeks ago27:59

27:59

Jesus often used parables—short stories with deeper spiritual meanings—to convey truths about the Kingdom of God. The Parable of the Persistent Widow is a story Jesus told to teach about prayer and justice. What’s required for our prayers to be answered? God’s Will: Pray according to God’s will. The Bible says, “We ask and do not receive because we ask wrongly to spend it on our own pleasures.” God is not a genie in a bottle granting wishes, we must seek His heart and plans. God’s Timing: Even with faith and alignment with God’s will, the Bible teaches that nothing happens outside of the time God has appointed. Patience is crucial. Your Faith: Without faith, it is impossible to please God. We must pray with faith that God hears us and will respond. As Christians, we are called to believe in faith, not just act morally. Hope and Perseverance: Believing that God can and will do something is crucial. The hardest part of prayer is often continuing to pray persistently. Real faith involves keeping on praying, even when the answer seems delayed. The story of the persistent widow in the Bible teaches us about perseverance in prayer. She overcame societal obstacles and continuously sought justice, showing that we need to actively participate in our prayers being answered. Remember, we are co-laborers with Christ, meaning our actions combined with God’s intervention can lead to miraculous outcomes. Be encouraged to keep praying and believing, as God often blesses those who wait and persevere the longest. #KeepPraying #Parables #LiquidChurch…

You Can Always Come Home | Storyteller Part 5 38:56

50 weeks ago38:56

38:56

Jesus often used parables—short stories with deeper spiritual meanings—to convey truths about the Kingdom of God. You may have heard of the Parable of the Prodigal Son. This is a story Jesus told to teach about love and forgiveness. This parable is about a young man who asks his father for his inheritance early, squanders it on reckless living, and ends up destitute. When he hits rock bottom, he decides to return home, hoping to be hired as a servant. Surprisingly, his father welcomes him back with open arms and throws a celebration, showing joy and forgiveness instead of anger. What is the lesson here? No matter how far you’ve strayed from God or how badly you’ve messed up, God is always ready to welcome you back with open arms. He doesn’t judge you and he won’t punish you, rather he rejoices when a lost son or daughter returns home. This parable shows that God’s grace is abundant and freely given to all who repent and come home. #ComeHome #Parables #LiquidChurch…

How to Be A Compassionate Person | Storyteller Part 4 36:22

Jesus often used parables—short stories with deeper spiritual meanings—to convey truths about the Kingdom of God. You may have heard of the Parable of the Good Samaritan. This is a story Jesus told to teach about compassion and kindness. In this story, a Jewish man was traveling when he was attacked by robbers. He was left hurt on the side of the road. We learn that both a priest and a temple assistant saw him, but they didn't help. They walked right past the injured man. Then, a Samaritan, who was usually at odds with Jewish people, saw the man and felt compassion. He helped the injured man by treating his wounds, taking him to an inn to rest and recover, and even paying for his care. Jesus used this story to show that a true neighbor is someone who HELPS OTHERS, no matter who they are. It teaches us that being kind and compassionate to everyone is important, even to those who are different from us. #LoveYourNeighbor #Parables #LiquidChurch…

Are You Listening To God? | Storyteller Part 3 42:01

52 weeks ago42:01

42:01

Jesus often used parables—short stories with deeper spiritual meanings—to convey truths about the Kingdom of God. In the “Parable of the Sower,” Jesus tells a story about a farmer planting seeds. As the farmer plants the seeds, some fall on a path, where they can't grow because the ground is hard. This represents people who don't listen to God. Other seeds fall on rocky ground, where they grow quickly but die because there's not enough soil. These are people who get excited about God but don't stick with their faith journey. Some seeds fall among thorns, where they grow but don't produce fruit because they're choked by the thorns. This represents people who are too busy or distracted by other things to focus on God. Finally, some seeds fall on good soil, where they grow strong and produce a lot of fruit. This represents people who listen to God and follow Him closely. Jesus wants us to think about which type of soil we are. Do we listen to God and follow Him faithfully, or are we too distracted or uninterested? He wants us to be like the good soil, where our faith can grow strong and produce good things. So, the question is: are you listening to God? #ListenToGod #Parables #LiquidChurch…

How To Spend Eternity With God | Storyteller Part 2 37:07

37:07

Jesus often used parables—short stories with deeper spiritual meanings—to convey truths about the Kingdom of God. In the Parable of the Rich Man and the Beggar, Jesus shares a story about two men with different lives and what happens after they die. One is wealthy and lives luxuriously, while the other, named Lazarus, suffers daily. Surprisingly, after death, Lazarus goes to heaven, but the rich man goes to hell. This shocks people who thought wealth meant God's approval. Jesus teaches that what comes after death isn't about being good or rich; it's about believing in Him. Heaven isn't earned by actions but received through trust in Jesus.The rich man's issue wasn't wealth but prioritizing it over God. Jesus warns against placing anything above God. The good news is Jesus offers hope to everyone. Trusting in him guarantees a place in heaven. Making Jesus the center of our lives is the wisest decision we can make. #HeavenOrHell #Parables #LiquidChurch…

Understanding The Grace Of God | Storyteller Part 1 46:44

46:44

Jesus often used parables—short stories with deeper spiritual meanings—to convey truths about the Kingdom of God. In "The Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard," Jesus challenges conventional notions of fairness by illustrating God's boundless grace. Fairness is about what we deserve. Grace is a gift that we don’t deserve! God offers his radical love and forgiveness (His Grace) to everyone. This isn’t a merit based system. Salvation, a free gift through faith in Jesus, transcends human efforts. Regardless of when one accepts grace, the reward remains the same: forgiveness, purpose, and eternal life. Grace liberates us from guilt, fear, and religious legalism. We are accepted despite our faults. Grace is not about our performance but about embracing God's generosity. In this narrative, we learn that EVERYONE is invited to experience God's limitless love. Grace, ultimately, is not something to be earned but joyfully received. #GraceOfGod #Parables #LiquidChurch…

The Benefits Of Being Single | Crazy Stupid Love Part 4 42:17

42:17

There’s a segment of the church as a whole that we often forget about – singles. What’s fascinating is that singles make up nearly 50% of the church. Singles need to know they are valued and loved. Singles need to know that being single is a GIFT. That’s biblical! But, sometimes it feels more like a burden. One key to being single is finding contentment. What we learn in the bible is that if you cannot be content in your present circumstances, you will not be content in any circumstances. You know what happens when two dissatisfied people get married? You have a dissatisfied married couple! Singleness can be a fruitful season and it gives you a benefit that being part of a couple cannot – it gives you the distinct benefit of being able to be laser focused on devotion to God.

Fix Your Relationship With Forgiveness | Crazy Stupid Love Part 3 41:05

If you have a broken relationship, you can fix it through reconciliation, forgiveness, and honest conversation. We’re not saying it’s going to be easy. Building healthy relationships requires work, intentionality, and lots of patience. Relational conflict is a normal part of life and each relationship has a cycle in which they operate. The cycle starts with closeness and a deep connection. But with every relationship comes a rupture, which is a conflict or misunderstanding. After that, the relationship must go into repair mode. The good news is, there are steps to take to go from the ruptured relationship to the repaired relationship. You need to pursue reconciliation, and take immediate actions to repair the damage. The second step is to practice forgiveness. The final step is to promote honest conversations.

How To Fight Fair In Your Marriage | Crazy Stupid Love Part 2 42:15

To make love last in a marriage, you must fight fair! Dr. John Gottman, a relationship expert, studied couples for years and found four red flags when it comes to conflict. They are: criticizing each other, feeling contempt (that's like disrespect), getting defensive, and shutting down (also known as stonewalling). These are the ingredients that build resentment and often lead to divorce. We have to learn what not to do in order to learn how to fight fair. There are also three green flags, or healthy habits that couples should use in their relationships: be quick to listen, slow to speak (talk less), and slow to anger. And here's a helpful trick: when someone's upset, ask them whether they need a solution or just someone to listen, so you know the best way to respond. Now, let's talk about anger. It's okay to feel mad sometimes, but it's important to deal with it calmly. And remember that forgiveness is like a superpower in relationships – it helps you move past the tough stuff. Watch Pastor Lucas and his wife, Colleen give practical tips on how to avoid relationship disasters and instead become a relationship master. #RelationshipDisasters #FightFair #LiquidChurch…

How To Have A Strong Marriage Despite Differences | Crazy Stupid Love Part 1 39:57

1 year ago39:57

39:57

Have you ever wondered about how God wired men and women differently and what that means to live as husband and wife practically? Understanding the fundamental differences between men and women can profoundly impact the dynamics of marriage. Men's brains operate by compartmentalizing thoughts into neat boxes, while in women's brains, everything is interconnected by emotion. Practically, this means husbands and wives must navigate communication and understanding with grace and patience. Husbands, recognizing their tendency to retreat when stressed, should actively engage in listening and empathizing with their wives, understanding their need to connect emotionally. Meanwhile, wives should understand that their husbands may need time alone to decompress. When it comes to sex, spouses need to understand each other's needs and motivations. For men, sex serves as a way to express love and care for their wives, while for women, emotional connection often precedes physical intimacy. By acknowledging and respecting these differences, couples can cultivate a healthier and more fulfilling sexual relationship within the covenant of marriage. Ultimately, living as husband and wife means embracing our unique wiring, understanding each other's strengths and weaknesses, and committing to love and serve one another sacrificially, just as Christ loves the Church. Marriage is not just a contract but a covenant, requiring continual effort, grace, and reliance on God's love to navigate the complexities of life together. Watch Pastor Lucas’s message to hear how to have a strong marriage, despite men and women being wired differently. #RealityOfMarriage #StrongMarriage #LiquidChurch…

What Is The Meaning Of Baptism? 23:55

23:55

Did you know that Jesus told his followers to get baptized? Baptism is an important step of faith for any Christian. It’s a public declaration of someone’s faith in Jesus. By getting baptized, you’re telling the world that you belong to Jesus and you are committed to following his teachings! That’s why we get baptized. If you’ve witnessed Baptism by immersion, when someone goes under the water and gets raised back up out of the water, this reflects the cleansing of sin. Going under the water signifies leaving behind your old ways and your sin, while emerging from the water symbolizes that you are washed clean, starting a new life filled with the Holy Spirit. Through baptism, individuals embrace forgiveness, hope, and purpose. They align themselves with Jesus' life, death, burial, and resurrection, embracing a renewed life through His grace.

Easter is a pivotal moment in history. Easter celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ. This is fact, not fiction! Jesus faced wrongful arrest and crucifixion, and was put to death. But, 3 days later, Jesus rose from the dead. That means, Jesus emerged victorious! Why does this matter so much? Because Jesus’ resurrection demonstrates his divinity as the Son of God. Because of Jesus' resurrection, a door opens to eternal life for all who believe in him. You receive the promise of heaven, which is a place where every Christ follower can anticipate a joyful reunion with loved ones. No matter what struggles you face today, be it addiction, divorce, or the loss of a loved one, you can rest assured that nothing can break the bond between you and God's love.

Has your life been changed by Jesus? If so, then you need to tell people about it… about HIM! We invite people to church so that they can come and see what Jesus is all about. Maybe you’re thinking “that’s not my job.” You’re right – it’s your mission! Our mission given to us by Jesus is to go and seek out those who don’t know him yet. We are meant to be evangelists. So, how do you actually accomplish your mission? Through relationships. Don’t overthink this. It doesn’t have to be weird. Invest in relationships with those around you - neighbors, coworkers, gym buddies and then find an opportunity to invite them to church. Who is God calling you to pursue this season? Pray about it. Be a good friend and neighbor and when the moment is right, invite them to church. Your invitation could change their life.

The Significance Of Being Baptized | The Way Part 6 35:31

1 year ago35:31

35:31

Do you know the significance of being baptized? Baptism stands as the pivotal rite marking the beginning of one's journey as a disciple of Christ. In Matthew 28:18-20, Jesus commands His disciples to go forth and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. His command shows the importance of baptism—it symbolizes obedience, repentance, commitment, and spiritual renewal. Jesus Himself set the precedent by being baptized by John the Baptist in the Jordan River, identifying with humanity's sinfulness and showcasing humility and solidarity with ordinary sinners. Baptism embodies obedience to Jesus' command, it’s a public declaration of faith, and a commitment to follow Him. It signifies repentance from past sins and a step toward a new life in Christ. Believers enter into a new life, transformed by God's grace. Baptism serves as a tangible encounter with the Holy Spirit, often marked by a profound sense of God's presence. It is a sacred covenant—a visible sign of God's unending love and faithfulness and a celebration of God's redemptive work in the life of every believer, which is the beginning of a lifelong journey of discipleship and spiritual growth. Watch Pastor Tim Lucas’s message and learn the importance of being baptized. #Baptism #Baptized #Immersion #JordanRiver #Disciples #Transformation #NewLife #Faith #TrustGod #Trust #TimeWithGod #TheWay #HolySpirit #Christ #JesusChrist #PowerOfTheHolySpirit #PrayerLife #God #Jesus #Christianity #ChristianChurch #LiquidChurch…

How To Serve Others With Humility | The Way Part 5 27:54

Have you heard of the incredible moment from the Bible when Jesus humbly washed His disciples' feet? Picture it: the Son of God down on his knees, washing away the dirt and grime from the feet of these grown men, even from the feet of Judas, who He knew would later betray Him. This is the picture of true humility… of servant leadership. Now, wrapping our minds around this type of servant leadership that Jesus modeled isn't easy. He intentionally took on the role of a humble servant, kneeling down to care for the tired, dusty feet of His followers. Imagine the scene: dusty roads, weary fishermen, and there's Jesus, showing us that serving others isn't just a task— it's a way of life. So, what does that really mean for us today? It means that serving others isn't a chore, but a joyous part of who we are as Christ followers. The Church isn't just for our personal benefit, it exists to serve the world. Our purpose is to love others and make a real difference. God has blessed you to bless others—to fulfill His will and finish the work He entrusted to you. Are you ready to step into the humble shoes of Jesus and serve with all your heart? Embrace this calling with joy and passion, knowing that by following Jesus's example, you're not just making a difference—you're living out your true purpose in this world.

The Importance Of Taking A Sabbath | The Way Part 3 45:35

45:35

Did you know that taking a day of Sabbath, or rest, is one of God’s commands for our life? Even God took a day off. After creating the earth and everything on it in six days, the Bible tells us that He rested on the seventh day. If God took a day of rest, so can we! A true, biblical Sabbath spans 24 hours and involves four essential elements: stopping, resting, delighting, and worshiping. When we stop, we do no work, paid or unpaid. Resting has three components - the physical where we sleep; the mental and emotional, where we calm down, relax and process our week, and the spiritual, where we rest in God’s love. Delight means that we partake in activities that bring joy to our lives. Finally, we WORSHIP! And, worship is not just music. Worship is also where we surrender to God, giving Him our whole heart. When we unite as a church community to offer our heartfelt songs of devotion to God, it profoundly impacts and molds us. Culture tells us to work, work, work. God commands us to rest. So stop - designate a day each week. Rest - set clear boundaries. Delight - do things that bring joy and fulfillment. Finally, you worship. When we gather as a family to worship God, connecting with worship songs and in community, we're not just praising Jesus, we're also cheering each other on and lifting each other up. Watch Pastor Tim Lucas’s message and learn what a proper Sabbath looks like and how taking one can bring you closer to God. #Sabbath #SabbathDay #WorshipGod #StopAndRest #Rest #Stop #Delight #TimeWithGod #WorshipMusic #Community #TheWay #HolySpirit #Christ #JesusChrist #PowerOfTheHolySpirit #PrayerLife #God #Jesus #Christianity #ChristianChurch #LiquidChurch…

The Importance Of Prioritizing Prayer | The Way Part 2 38:39

38:39

Are you feeling disconnected from God in the chaos of your daily life? Finding time for meaningful connection can feel like a daunting task. The good news is there's a simple yet powerful practice that can help anchor us: PRAYER. Prayer isn't just a religious obligation. It is the way to tap into something deeper within ourselves and connect with God. It's about finding moments of stillness and reflection in the midst of our busy lives. Take a cue from the life of Jesus himself. Despite the demands and pressures he faced during his ministry, he consistently made time to seek solitude and communicate with his Father through prayer. His example serves as a reminder that even in the busiest seasons of life, prayer is essential for finding peace, guidance, and clarity. So how do we make prayer a priority in our own lives? It starts with acknowledging and surrendering the distractions that pull us away from this practice. It's about intentionally creating space in our daily routines to quiet the noise and listen for that still, small voice within. By embracing this commitment to prayer, we open ourselves up to a deeper spiritual connection and a greater sense of purpose. It's through this practice of intentional prayer that we can experience true transformation and find ourselves more aligned with our values and beliefs. Watch Pastor Kayra Montañez’s message and learn how to break free of the distractions and spend more time in prayer, which will strengthen your relationship with God. #WayOfDevotion #DailyDevotions #IntentionalPrayer #TimeWithGod #HowToPray #CommitToPraying #TheWay #HolySpirit #Christ #JesusChrist #PowerOfTheHolySpirit #PrayerLife #God #Jesus #Christianity #ChristianChurch #LiquidChurch…

How To Build Relationships WIth Other Christians | The Way Part 1 37:57

1 year ago37:57

37:57

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, and meaningful relationships. If you are a follower of Jesus today, you should know that to truly experience the promises of God, we must embody the practices of Jesus. Just as Jesus lived in community with his disciples, we too, are created for connection and mutual support! The church is a part of this. The church isn’t a building, but is best described as a community of brothers and sisters. The truth is many of us long for deeper community and friendships. In the midst of our busy lives, packed with family commitments, career responsibilities, and everyday tasks, we want deeper fulfillment. One powerful way to address this longing is to actively participate in a community of believers, where the teachings of Jesus are not merely observed but lived out. We’re talking about ACTIVE engagement. That’s what leads to spiritual growth, mutual encouragement, and ultimately a more purposeful life. So, let us challenge you to step out of isolation and join together with others. It will not only enrich your own life, but also play a vital role in spreading the message of Jesus, following the example set by his disciples. So, what’s your next step? You’re invited to engage with a small group at church and experience the profound impact of authentic community!

You Can Choose Kindness Over Revenge | The X Factor Part 4 42:10

1 year ago42:10

42:10

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 is literally dodging spears – he is under attack. But, instead of seeking revenge, David goes all in with kindness. He takes the high road, and as he’s hiding out, his cave becomes the stage for one of the most epic 'aha' moments in history. David's time in the wilderness becomes this powerful analogy for our own struggles, showing us a different way to navigate the chaos in our own lives. Choosing kindness allows us to break the revenge cycle. David chooses sacrificial love, just like Jesus on the cross when He died for us. The cave where David hides becomes this metaphorical space where we wrestle with our mess and emerge transformed, thanks to grace. You too can be transformed! Watch Pastor Tim Lucas’s message to delve into the depths of why David chose kindness instead of revenge and how we can do the same. #Anointing #Victory #Authority #ChooseKindness #Revenge #SacrificialLove #DodgingSpears #Prayer #XFactor #HolySpirit #Christ #JesusChrist #PowerOfTheHolySpirit #PrayerLife #HumbleHeart #God #Jesus #Christianity #ChristianChurch #LiquidChurch…

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 and sought God and it turns out he was the only person in the Bible who has been anointed 3 times. Do you want to level up your anointing? You may face opposition, which may come from family, friends, co-workers or even strangers. David faced opposition from not only his family, but from Goliath, who he defeated with one rock. You have a Father in Heaven who sees you, has chosen you, called you by name, ransomed His son and has given you gifts. Remember, God has chosen and gifted you, and your service doesn't require a church role; it extends to every profession. Young people, forge your unique story, avoiding others' scripts and relying on God's strength in battles. To the older generation, your anointing is still significant – if you're not dead, God is not done. Watch Pastor Lucas's message to discover how you can live out your own anointing, just as David did. #Anointing #Victory #Authority #David #Goliath #LevelUp #Legacy #NextGen #AllGenerations #Prayer #XFactor #HolySpirit #Christ #JesusChrist #PowerOfTheHolySpirit #PrayerLife #HumbleHeart #God #Jesus #Christianity #ChristianChurch #LiquidChurch…

Our difficulties will either derail us from God’s purposes or develop us for God’s purposes. When God brings you through a dark, difficult moment and you make it to the other side, there is victory. Where there is victory there is authority, where there is authority there is anointing. The reason God brought you through that challenging season is so that you could help someone that’s struggling with the same thing. Anointing extends beyond personal benefits; it shapes the legacy left for future generations. Legacy is not merely personal accomplishments but the impact on others. Prayer, especially from parents, transforms them into prophetic figures, emphasizing that the greatest legacy is not in personal achievements but in raising others. We need to encourage the younger generation to listen and learn from the older one, emphasizing the significance of understanding what not to do as much as what to do. In the context of personal growth, we need to aim higher, leveraging the anointing as an inner strength to surpass usual capabilities and achieve remarkable results. The call is to strive for more and resist settling for the ordinary. Watch Pastor Todd Crews's message to discover how living in the anointing can inspire and impact the next generation. #Anointing #Victory #Authority #Legacy #NextGen #NextGeneration #Prayer #XFactor #HolySpirit #Christ #JesusChrist #PowerOfTheHolySpirit #PrayerLife #HumbleHeart #God #Jesus #Christianity #ChristianChurch #LiquidChurch…

You Can Have The Power Of The Holy Spirit | The X Factor Part 1 44:42

1 year ago44:42

44:42

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 3 key questions. What is anointing? How do you lose it? How do you attract it? First, Anointing is the power of the Holy Spirit in a Christian’s life. It’s the presence of God activating your spiritual gifts for special service to God. But, you can lose God’s anointing. If you grow complacent and let your prayer life go cold and you stop talking with God, we can actually put out the fire of the Holy Spirit within us. You can also attract God’s anointing and that comes down to your heart. Do you have a humble heart that listens to God? One that seeks out Jesus through prayer and scripture? That’s what attracts anointing! Watch this message from Pastor Tim Lucas, and prepare for a fresh anointing in your own life. #Anointing #XFactor #HolySpirit #Christ #JesusChrist #PowerOfTheHolySpirit #PrayerLife #HumbleHeart #God #Jesus #Christianity #ChristianChurch #LiquidChurch…

Release Your Anxiety And Place Your Trust In God | 21-Day Fast 42:17

1 year ago42:17

42:17

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 shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” - Matthew 6:31-34 Matthew says to seek first God and his kingdom, and everything else will sort itself out. Notice that Jesus doesn’t say all of these things going on in your life aren’t important. Instead, he says fix your eyes on the thing that is most important. Jesus reminds us that God will carry the burdens and challenges we face. God cares about all of the things going on in our lives because he loves us so deeply. Knowing God is in control, is not the same as allowing God to take control. Every challenge you face can be a “let go, let God” moment. When we seek God first, we make God the first part of our lives, by giving Him the first of our lives. One way we can seek God first, is by committing to fasting and praying. We encourage you to start the New Year with a 21-day fast to help you focus on God, and fight back against everyday stresses, worry and anxiety. Watch this message from Pastor Zach Taylor where he discusses how seeking God first, will lead to a more peaceful life. #SeekGod #FastAndPray #Fasting #ReleaseYourAnxiety #GiveYourWorryToGod #GodIsInControl #SeekPeace #NewYearsResolution #God #Jesus #ChristCentered #Christianity #ChristianChurch #BibleBased #LiquidChurch…

Jesus Was Sent To Earth To Save You | Christmas Eve 2023 37:31

1 year ago37:31

37:31

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 is wrapped up in the mystery of Jesus’s birth– of his mother Mary’s little lamb! Jesus was God’s spotless lamb, who was born without the blemish of sin. He was born without sin so that the Lamb of God would take away the sin of the world. How did He do this? 33 years after His birth, Jesus Christ went up to Jerusalem for the Passover. Like those lambs that were led to the slaughter, He was crucified. God sacrificed His son on the cross as a way to destroy sin and evil without destroying you. Understand that Jesus is our sacrificial lamb – He died so that all who believe in Him may have eternal life in Heaven. So, at Christmas, let’s celebrate the birth of our Savior, the Lamb of God. His sacrifice means that nothing in your life, not your worst sins or addictions, not sickness or cancer or divorce, not even death itself can defeat you. Our little lamb, born in a manger as a vulnerable baby, has saved us, and He is victorious! Watch this message from Pastor Tim Lucas and discover the story of Mary’s Little Lamb and how He reigns victorious! #Christmas #ChristmasEve #LittleLamb #LambOfGod #SacrificialLamb #JesusOffersPeace #BirthOfJesus #Faith #God #Jesus #ChristCentered #Christianity #ChristianChurch #BibleBased #LiquidChurch…

How To Love Others Well At Christmas | Advent Part 3 38:41

1 year ago38:41

38:41

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 critical, judgemental and negative. The third type are deafening; people who make themselves the biggest person in the room and are loud mouths. The fourth and final one are demeaning crazy makers. These make biting comments toward their family and friends or are dream deflaters. Perhaps not so coincidentally, there are 4 types of love you can show at Christmas (and all year round). Love A is “if I scratch your back, you scratch mine.” The second, Love B is a “If I scratch your back, you’ll likely scratch mine.” The third, “I’ll scratch your back without expecting anything in return.” The fourth is “I’ll scratch your back even if you stab me in mine.” It’s this last, self-sacrificing version of love that we call cruciform love. So, how can you embody this type of Christ-like love? There are three steps, one harder than the last. They are: refuse to be offended, don’t wait for an apology to forgive them, and always take the high ground. God invaded history with his glorious grace to provide you with his perfect love. At Christmas, let’s aim to love the crazy makers in our life! Watch this message from Pastor Kayra Montañez where she walks you through how to deal with the challenging people we all have in our lives. #Advent #LoveOthersWell #HowToLoveDifficultPeople #TheGiftOfLove #Christmas #Family #CrazyMaker #Grace #HumbleYourself #Humility #Prayer #Trust #Faith #God #Jesus #ChristCentered #Christianity #ChristianChurch #BibleBased #LiquidChurch…

How To Find More Joy In Life | Advent Part 2 34:20

1 year ago34:20

34:20

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 is easy to remember. The first thing you do is always put Jesus first. We have to listen to what God has for our lives. The second is others, meaning put others ahead of yourself, after Jesus. The third and final one is yourself. It is easiest to put ourselves first, but that is not how God calls us to live. If we open our Bibles to James 4:10, it says to “Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.” Humbling ourselves means putting Jesus and others before ourselves. Love God first, and love others. If you do these two things, everything else will pretty much sort itself out. God will lift you up and give you the gift of joy. Watch this message from Pastor Zach Taylor and find out how putting God and others first will impact your life in positive ways. #Advent #Joy #TheGiftOfJoy #Christmas #JoyInYourHeart #GiftOfJoy #HumbleYourself #Humility #Prayer #Trust #Faith #God #Jesus #ChristCentered #Christianity #ChristianChurch #BibleBased #LiquidChurch…

Prepare To Worship Jesus This Advent Season | Advent Part 1 31:48

1 year ago31:48

31:48

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 season! At Advent, Christians all around the world are invited to do 3 things: slow down, clear the clutter in their hearts, and fall in love with Jesus all over again. If you don’t slow down, you may miss the joy and wonder of considering the miracle of Jesus coming to earth as a baby to save us. And after you slow down, take time to clear the clutter in your heart. Make room for Christ! Typically at Christmas we actually drift from Jesus, cluttering our calendar with work, shopping, and parties. Don’t let God get crowded out! Then, take the time to worship fully! Worship isn’t just the singing of songs on Sunday. Worship is a choice to glorify God and trust him completely. Let worship overwhelm any worry you feel in this season and remember that God is in full control. Magnify the Lord! He sent His Son Jesus just for you to cast out fear, cancel your sin, and give you peace with His very presence. Watch this message from Pastor Tim Lucas, and start the Advent Season by turning your focus back to Jesus. #Advent #Christmas #HopeAtAdvent #ArrivalofJesus #ComingOfJesus #SlowDown #ClearTheClutterInYourHeart #MiracleofChristmas #God #Jesus #Christianity #ChristianChurch #LiquidChurch…

You Can Leave A Legacy | Vision Sunday 2023 36:14

2 years ago36:14

36:14

This Vision Sunday message will give you a glimpse into what God is calling Liquid Church to do in 2024. What we do today will matter in 100 years and for all of eternity. You can leave a legacy and our work begins today. As a church, we have four areas we want to focus on in 2024. The first is a focus on the Next Generation with the launch of a Pathways Learning Academy in our Parsippany building. This daycare will serve children from the ages of 0-5 Monday through Thursday. Our goal is to provide safe, high quality childcare based on the STEAM curriculum (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics). In addition we have a passion to introduce our littlest ones to a Bible-based, Christian worldview in a fath-friendly environment. One of our second goals, also focused on the Next Generation, is to create a Summer Camp for kids, which we call Camp Rock. Our dream is to provide a world-class Creative Arts Camp for children aged 6-14 that is Christ-centered, Bible-based, and leverages the arts (music, theater, voice, dance, graphic design) to reach the hearts and minds of the next generation. Our third initiative will be Marketplace Mentoring, where students from the ages of 15-21 will be paired up with a mentor who will connect your Monday-Friday marketplace success to ministry significance, and become a spiritual father or mother to the Next Gen. And, as always, we are committed to global outreach. We will be breaking ground in a brand new country this year to bring fresh, clean drinking water to the people of Zambia, where we will bring God’s Word to children with special needs. The water crisis in Africa disproportionately affects women and children who are responsible for fetching water from contaminated sources. Each day 2,300 children die from drinking dirty water and contracting Cholera, Dysentery and Typhoid. We also want to build two churches in Zambia where God’s Word can be taught. Watch this message from Pastor Tim Lucas to see what Liquid Church has in store for 2024, and consider how you can help leave a legacy for generations to come. #VisionSunday #Faith #CampRock #NextGen #CleanWater #Zambia #Legacy #Mentor #ChristCentered #BibleBased #MarketplaceMentor #Prayer #Trust #God #Jesus #Christianity #ChristianChurch #LiquidChurch #LeaveALegacy #VisionForTheFuture…

The Power Of Praying With Partners | Moving Mountains Part 6 32:31

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 your prayers are not being heard or answered. You may even want to give up on praying, but that is the devil waging war against you because he knows you are praying with the power of heaven behind you. Praying partners are powerful people. Prayer is the key to victory. Prevailing prayers are not casual prayers, like saying grace before a meal, praying when you are in trouble or crisis, or when you feel you are praying to impress others. Prevailing prayer is the authentic cry from the heart of God’s children. It is insistent and consistent prayers to God, who loves to answer the cries of His children. Watch this message from Pastor Kayra Montañez and learn how to strengthen your prayer life by praying with others in the name of Christ. #PrayerLife #PrevailingPrayer #PersistenPrayer #PrayInPartnership #Partnership #PrayerPartners #PrayWithOthers #KeepPraying #PowerOfPrayer #Pray #Faith #BoldPrayer #Strong #Strength #Courageous #Courage #Mountain #MoveYourMountain #MovingMountains #Prayer #Trust #God #Jesus #Christianity #ChristianChurch #LiquidChurch…

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 entire family to encounter Christ! Don’t pray for a better job, pray for your dream job! Don’t pray for enough money to pay the bills, pray for an abundance of resources so you can be a blessing to others! Don’t just pray for your kids before bed….pray for their future wives and husbands, and their kids, and their kids. Don’t just pray for your life…pray for your legacy! If you are going to have eternity in mind, you have to live with urgency. Life is short. Eternity is real. The time is now. As a Christian, we have people to help, a gospel to share and an impact to make! It does not matter how old you are to begin your legacy. Now is the time to live for God, make an impact and pray bold prayers with urgency. Watch this message from Pastor Todd Crews, and learn how to strengthen your prayer life to leave a powerful legacy centered on Christ. #PrayerLife #LeaveALegacy #PrayForTheNextGeneration #KeepPraying #ChristianLegacy #EvangelicalLegacy #ChristianDiscipleship #ChristianExample #FutureGenerations #PrayForTomorrow #Eternity #Obedience #PowerOfPrayer #Pray #Faith #BoldPrayer #Strong #Strength #Courageous #Courage #Mountain #MoveYourMountain #MovingMountains #Prayer #Trust #God #Jesus #Christianity #ChristianChurch #LiquidChurch…

God Can Do The Impossible | Moving Mountains Part 4 39:23

2 years ago39:23

39:23

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 was hand-picked by God to lead His people after the death of Moses. God commanded him to cross the Jordan River to lead His people into the Promised Land, but the water was raging. Joshua fell to his knees and prayed, took a step of faith by putting a toe in the water and God stopped the rushing water based on Joshua’s faith. Is there a situation in your life that you need to trust God fully with? God can do the impossible. In fact, impossible situations are not intimidating to our God. The challenge is that you need to walk in faith, not by sight. If your situation does not change, it is often a clue that God is trying to change YOU. He wants you to be less focused on the outcome and more focused on obedience. Public victories are a result of private visits with the Lord. You need to worship before warfare and consecrate before conquest! Watch this message from Pastor Tim Lucas, and learn how to strengthen your prayer life and watch how the walls standing in your way will fall and your mountains will be moved. #PrayerLife #KeepPraying #GodCanDoTheImpossible #BePersistent #KneelInPrayer #Obedience #PowerOfPrayer #Pray #Faith #Strong #Strength #Courageous #Courage #Mountain #MoveYourMountain #MovingMountains #Prayer #Trust #God #Jesus #Christianity #ChristianChurch #LiquidChurch…

Keep Praying And Never Give Up | Moving Mountains Part 3 36:49

2 years ago36:49

36:49

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 content. We should be coming to God with audacious prayers without shame, over and over again. Keep seeking and keep asking over and over again. In the New Testament every major teaching includes at least one reference to praying with persistence. 1 Thesolonians 5 says pray without ceasing; Colossians 2 tells us to be steadfast in our prayers ; Ephesians 5 instructs us to pray at all times and on every occasion ; 1 Chronicles says to seek God continually. You may feel uncomfortable praying because it feels like you are constantly asking for things from God. When you look at God as your Father and not as a busy leader, an angry judge or as disinterested and a disappointed figure in your life, prayers will come easier and often. God is not going to give you everything you want, when you want it, but there is power in persistence. So keep praying for anything and everything and see God at work in your life. Watch this message from Pastor Zach Taylor, and learn how to strengthen your prayer life and deepen your relationship with God. #PrayerLife #Persistence #BePersistent # #PowerOfPrayer #Pray #Faith #Strong #Strength #Courageous #Courage #Mountain #MoveYourMountain #MovingMountains #Prayer #Trust #God #Jesus #Christianity #ChristianChurch #LiquidChurch…

Do you have a strong prayer life? Are you bold? Are you strong? Do you pray with power and conviction? Your prayer life is the way to find a deeper connection with God and you can learn to be someone who prays with POWER! Before you step into God’s promises for your life, you have to understand that He will be with you every step of the way. No matter how big or small your problem is, or how high your mountain is, God will be walking alongside you. There are just two steps to take to position yourself to be used powerfully by God. The first is to consecrate yourself to God, which means to set yourself apart and be fully devoted to God. Consecration puts you in the position to see God work powerfully. Second, you must take a daring leap of faith. Remember that we only need faith the size of a mustard seed for God to move in powerful ways. Faith is taking the first step, even before God reveals the second step. Have the STRENGTH and COURAGE to trust that God has got you. The plans of God are only revealed in the presence of God. Watch this message from Pastor Tim Lucas, and learn how to strengthen your prayer life and deepen your relationship with God. #PrayerLife #BeStrongAndCourageous #PowerOfPrayer #Faith #Strong #Strength #Courageous #Courage #Mountain #MoveYourMountain #MovingMountains #Prayer #Trust #God #Jesus #Christianity #ChristianChurch #LiquidChurch…

Do You Have Enough Faith For A Miracle? 40:15

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 therapy, but now you’re now facing divorce. Or maybe your mind is just overcome every day with anxiety or depression. Whatever your mountain is, God can handle it! All you need is faith the size of a mustard seed and trust that God will get you through. A mustard seed is the tiniest known garden seed and is only 1 millimeter in diameter. But, Scripture teaches us that’s all we need. A tiny faith in Jesus can lead to miraculous outcomes and each of us overcoming seemingly insurmountable challenges. What we need to do is SEEK GOD! We need to pray to Him and seek His help and intervention in difficult situations. Watch this message from Pastor Tim Lucas, and be inspired to know that if you feel like your faith is tiny, that is all God needs. Don’t pray to God about the size of your mountain! Talk to your mountain about the size of your God. #Faith #MustardSeed #Mountain #MoveYourMountain #MovingMountains #Prayer #PrayerLife #Trust #God #Jesus #Christianity #ChristianChurch #LiquidChurch…

How Serving At Church Makes A Difference 33:55

2 years ago33:55

33:55

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 churches today, like Liquid, we still have doorkeepers. But, they serve a vital role and we hold them in high esteem. You see, our doorkeepers are the first people that welcome guests to church. Whether you serve on the parking team or the greeting team literally holding the door open for guests or making them feel welcome as they enter the service, how you interact with them can make the difference between a positive church experience or a negative church experience. The big picture here is that we hold the door open for others to meet Jesus. This is how serving at church makes a real difference in people's lives! That first impression matters. Why is ONE DAY so important? Because ONE DAY could be the day that changes everything! Today could be the day that God answers the prayer, performs the miracle or keeps the promise! In ONE DAY, God can deliver someone from an addiction that has held a person captive for years! In ONE DAY, God can bring back a prodigal child that has run away and has been gone for decades! But in order to experience a miracle ONE DAY, we need people to hold the door and help them experience the presence of God! Are you ready to be a doorkeeper? Join a Dream Team and you could be that person who holds the door open for someone to meet Jesus. #HoldTheDoor #DreamTeam #Doorkeeper #Hospitality #Welcome #Serve #ServeAlongsideOthers #ServeAtChurch #VolunteerAtChurch #MakeADifference #Greet #GreetWithASmile #Smile #Wave #Jesus #Christianity #ChristianChurch #LiquidChurch…

Make Wise Choices About Screen Time For Kids | Parenting in the 21st Century Part 3 43:12

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 obesity, 158% more likely to suffer from depression and a staggering 680% more likely to suffer from a high level mood disorder. And this isn’t just about us, we need to make wise choices about screen time for our kids. And, guess what? Teenagers average 3.5 hours a day on social media. Every major study has shown that anything over 3 hours a day doubles a teenager’s probability of being clinically diagnosed with depression or anxiety, with 37% of teenagers reporting they have been bullied online. Right now, there is a mental health pandemic happening with our teens and young adults due to their increased online activities. So, ask yourself this question: Are you conforming to the patterns of this world or being transformed by Jesus? There are 4 million pornography sites on the internet today and it has become a $100 billion industry with the average age a child is exposed to pornography being 11 years old.

The 4 Stages Of Parenting | Parenting In The 21st Century Part 2 41:19

Did you know there are 4 stages of parenting? These are based on the ages and needs of your children, and should shape HOW you’re parenting your kids. Ultimately, we want to win the HEARTS of our kids! Parenting isn’t about power and winning arguments - we’re shaping people, hopefully into kind, compassionate human beings who love Jesus. So, here are the 4 stages of parenting, where are you right now? Discipline years (ages 1-5) The days are long and hard! This stage is mainly about keeping the child alive and laying down the limits. For the first 5 years, you strengthen your child’s obedience muscles with consequences. Training years (ages 5-12) This is when you start explaining the WHY behind the rules of life. You train while you explain and help them practice good choices and turn them into habits. Coaching years (ages 12-18) This is when you coach more than correct, because your kids are gaining independence. And this is a time when you really want to focus on winning hearts and not arguments. Friendship years (18+) Because ultimately you want to become friends with your children when they become adults. If you do the early years right, you get the rest of your lives to be friends! Watch this message from Pastor Tim and learn how to parent your child well through each stage of life with loving discipline. #LiquidChurch #ParentingInThe21stCentury #ParentingStages #WinHeartsNotArguments #DisciplineYears #TrainingYears #CoachingYears #FriendshipYears #ParentingIsHard #Family #ParentingStyle #Jesus #Christianity #ChristianChurch…

2 Things Every Family Needs | Parenting In The 21st Century Part 1 43:00

Regardless of what kind of family you grew up in or find yourself in now, a fresh start is possible and you are not doomed to make the same mistakes your parents did. 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 of loving discipline is that when kids break your trust, they repair the relationship. It’s not a punishment for breaking the rules. It’s about fighting to repair damaged relationships. Loving discipline makes a child better. Punishment rarely makes a kid better, but it often makes them bitter! So, what’s your parenting style? Do you lean toward being permissive and all about love? Or do you lean toward perfectionism and discipline? Typically, we’re biased based on what was modeled to us. Watch this message from Pastor Tim and ask yourself: What gifts did your parents give that you want to keep? What mistakes did they make that you want to leave behind with God’s help? #LiquidChurch #LoveAndDiscipline #ParentingInThe21stCentury #ParentingIsHard #Family #RepairRelationships #ParentingStyle #Jesus #Christianity #ChristianChurch…

Investing In The Faith Of Gen Z 45:41

2 years ago45:41

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 Generation. As a church, we want the teenages and young adults of Gen Z to know that they are seen by God and the Church, made in the image of God, and that they have something to offer! If you think brands are innovative at reaching Gen Z, know that Jesus had the original power of personalization and participation all the way back in the 1st Century! For example, take a look at Jesus' followers, the Apostles. Jesus saw potential young followers like Matthew, who had the odds stacked against him: He was a tax collector and cheated people out of money. Matthew was flawed, but Jesus saw past his challenges to bring about incredible purposes in his life. When Jesus looked at His disciples, He didn’t just see what their lives were like at that moment… He didn’t see the mistakes of their past… He saw the potential of who they could become in the future, and He invited them into their destiny. Watch this message from Pastor Kayra to learn how you can help invest in the faith of the next generation. #LiquidChurch #GenZ #GenerationZ#NextGeneration #NextGen #YouthMinistry #Jesus #Christianity #ChristianChurch…
