Liquid Church

In the Gospel of Mark, we see Jesus has an intense, emotional reaction when in Jerusalem for the Jewish festival of Passover. See, in Jesus’ day, the Temple was the place where Jewish people could come to be close to God and worship Him. However, instead of being a center for religious life, the Temple had become corrupt; It became a shopping mall where people were exchanging money and bargaining with each other. This is why Jesus had righteous anger - and it even triggered Him to overturn tables!

In this message from Liquid Church, Pastor Tim Lucas asks us to make this Bible lesson personal: What tables need overturning in our own lives? What is distracting you from getting close to God and worshipping Him with your whole heart? This display of Jesus’ righteous anger shows us that he cared enough about our faith to clear a path for all to be with God.

This message is the introduction to Liquid Church’s 8-week Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Groups Series. Don’t settle for a superficial faith that skims the surface - dive deeper in community to discover the story God’s writing with your life!

In the Gospel of Luke, we see Jesus tell his followers this: “The Harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the Harvest, therefore, to send out his workers into the field.” Jesus wasn’t a farmer, but he uses a farming analogy to tell his disciples, or ministry partners, that there are not enough people to do the work of the Kingdom. But instead of asking his disciples to work harder and take no breaks, he tells them that they should ask God through prayer to send out workers and volunteers to share the good news of the Gospel.

At Liquid Church, we know ministry is best done in teams. Christianity is not a solo sport, and life is actually better in community. So, this Homecoming season at Liquid Church, we’re praying daily for God to send volunteers to serve on Dream Teams to rebuild our church and welcome new guests. We have a big goal to Saturate the State of New Jersey with the Gospel of Jesus Christ - and we can’t do that alone. To explore ways you can use your gifts and skills to serve with us, visit LiquidChurch.com/DreamTeam.

New Jersey was dealt a huge blow in September 2021 when Hurricane Ida swept through the state. There are so many families and neighbors hurting from the catastrophic flooding who are  wondering how they will survive this hurricane. But, this message is for everyone, because we ALL get rained on. We all have tragic moments that make us cry and question our faith - the very foundation we’re living on. It could be the Hurricane of Covid, an Economic Hurricane, a Racial Hurricane, and sometimes we get hit with one storm after another. But, let us assure you that through any storm, you can stand strong when the foundation of your faith in Christ is solid!

In this message from Liquid Church, Youth Pastor Jonathan Wilson shares that the bravery he sees in Generation Z takes them one step closer to changing the world. But how? We learn in the Old Testament of the Bible that Moses prepared Joshua to follow his God-given purpose of leading God’s people to the Promised Land. Likewise, today, every student is just one caring adult away from unleashing their God-given potential.

We live in such a complex time that 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 and potential in Gen Z that has the ability to impact our world for the glory of Christ. That means Gen Z needs to be UNLEASHED upon the world - not shielded from it.

As part of Liquid Church’s annual At The Movies series, in this message Pastor Kayra Montanez shares the spiritual themes for faith, patience, and pursuing dreams found throughout the movie In The Heights. Based on the musical by Lin-Manuel Miranda and Quiara Alegria Hudes, the film is a celebration of Latino and Latina culture in the U.S. and follows the hopes and dreams of a vibrant, tight-knit immigrant community in the Washington Heights, New York neighborhood.

At The Movies is an annual series by Liquid Church where we explore the truths behind Hollywood’s greatest movies and TV shows. Scripture says that Jesus taught in parables, which were short stories that contained spiritual truths. We pray that this fun message series will help you connect to God’s word!
