Liquid Church With Pastor Tim Lucas

What crisis are you facing today? Who is counting on you to be courageous? If your family is under attack, a loved one is in trouble, or your job is in jeopardy, God may be calling you to STAND UP and SPEAK UP for change. In this message from Liquid Church’s series Queen: The Story of Esther, Pastor Tim Lucas inspires us to prepare for the moment when our faith is under fire. You must decide NOW what you will do THEN. Will you compromise your convictions or stand up with courage? Queen Esther of the Bible shows us a beautiful example of courage and faith. After learning of an evil plot to kill all the Jews in the kingdom, Esther decides to speak up, knowing the result is she may die. We see that Esther was made queen “for such a time as this.” With courage, she stands up to save thousands of lives. It’s a stirring reminder that when you stand up for God, He will stand up for you!

What do you do when God seems silent in your life? Maybe you’re worn out by the pressures that keep stacking or a heart that keeps aching. In this message from Liquid Church’s series Queen: The Story of Esther, Pastor Kayra Montanez shares that when life seems off the rails, we can trust in God’s providence. The word providence is the biblical term used to describe how God purposefully provides for, sustains, and governs the world - and that includes your life and everything in it! Queen Esther learned this truth firsthand. She had to make some tough choices. Would she remain silent in the face of a big challenge, or would she speak up? After Esther spent three days in prayer and fasting, God gave her the courage to speak up. God used her to save the nation, and God can work in your situation, too.

God has given every person a Spiritual Gift, or a Supernatural Ability, to help other people. To some, God gave the gift of supernatural generosity. The truth is, we serve a God who is very generous to us, and when the Holy Spirit fills your heart, he opens your hand to be generous to others. In this message from the conclusion of Liquid Church’s Wind & Fire series, Pastor Tim Lucas shares how the early Church put generosity into practice. In Acts 4, we see that when God inspires unity and generosity among a Holy Spirit-filled Church, miracles can happen! Watch the full message to learn 3 levels of giving that you can start practicing as God leads you to start practicing generosity.

In this message from Liquid Church’s Wind & Fire series, Pastor Kayra Montanez shares the importance of identifying and using spiritual gifts received by the Holy Spirit. The gifts of the Spirit are special spirit-given abilities that every Christian receives and varies from person to person. The purpose of spiritual gifts is to build up Jesus’ Church: To make a difference in the church and overflow into making a difference in the World. Gifts of the spirit are supernatural and have divine power when unleashed for the common good! Do you know your spiritual gifts? Watch this lesson to discover your spiritual gifts and learn how you can use them to help build God’s kingdom. We pray this message encourages you as you seek to encounter the Holy Spirit today!

In this message from Liquid Church’s Wind & Fire series, Pastor Tim Lucas shares that one of the manifestations of God’s Holy Spirit is when he reaches out to bring restorative healing and wholeness to our lives. In Acts 3 of the New Testament of the Bible, the Early Church saw a healing miracle - and it was just the first of many miracles to come. A miracle of supernatural healing is beautiful - and at any moment, God’s spirit can reach out to anyone and do a beautiful thing that ultimately results in worship. We believe the Holy Spirit still heals people today - sometimes through miracles, sometimes through medicine, and oftentimes, through the combination of modern medicine and the healing power of the Holy Spirit. We pray this message encourages you as you seek to encounter the Holy Spirit today!

Did you know that God loves us so much, He wants us to be filled with His Holy Spirit? The phrase “Baptism in the Holy Spirit” may seem strange, but comes from Acts 1:5, which says, “For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.” This promise of Jesus was fulfilled on the Day of Pentecost (Acts 2:1-4) when the disciples experienced the permanent indwelling of the Holy Spirit of Jesus - and as a result, the Christian church was born! The truth is, the Holy Spirit is the most misunderstood member of the Trinity - which explains the "power outage" in the lives of many Christians! In this message from Liquid Church, Pastor Kayra Montanez shares the 3 ways we are called to be Baptized in the Holy Spirit. Are you charismatic? The Holy Spirit is bigger than your signs-and-wonders events. Are you conservative? The Holy Spirit will not be limited by your theology. We hope this message helps clear up confusion about who the Holy Spirit is! Wind & Fire Series | Pastor Kay

Did you know? The primary job of the Holy Spirit is to make the love of God your Heavenly Father real to your heart. When you experience the Holy Spirit, Romans 5:8 in the New Testament of the Bible tells us, “God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit”. While faith is not all feelings, this means that the Holy Spirit can help you feel the love of God palpably. In this message from Liquid Church, Pastor Tim Lucas clears up confusion about who the Holy Spirit is and shares incredible stories of how the Holy Spirit works to show God’s children that they are loved by their Heavenly Father. We pray this message strengthens your faith and helps you cry out to God your Father asking Him to allow you to experience His incredible love through the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit is the most misunderstood member of the Trinity - which explains the "power outage" in the lives of many Christians.

In this introduction to Liquid Church’s series Wind & Fire, Pastor Tim Lucas shares who the holy spirit is and how we can seek a deeper encounter with God’s spirit in our lives.

Many people are skeptical of Christianity today - but when we dig into global history, we see that followers of Jesus have been at the vanguard of abolishing slavery, founding hospitals, establishing public education and championing justice in a multitude of areas. What does this say about who Jesus really is? In this message from Liquid Church’s Skeptics Welcome series, guest speaker John S. Dickerson concludes the message series by exploring the personal and experiential evidence for Jesus. John S. Dickerson is an award-winning journalist & author whose work has appeared in the New York Times and USA Today. His book Jesus Skeptic: A Journalist Explores the Credibility and Impact of Christianity explores whether Jesus actually lived and how his story has changed our world for the better.

A lot of skeptics believe faith and science are incompatible. But the reality is, if you examine the evidence, you’ll find that faith in Jesus Christ played a leading role throughout the Scientific Revolution and, ultimately, unleashed a series of incredible innovations in our modern world. In this message from Liquid Church’s series, Skeptics Welcome, Pastor Tim Lucas shares that Jesus, faith and science are much more compatible than we may realize. Based on the book “Jesus Skeptic” by John Dickerson, we discover that world-renowned scientists such as Isaac Newton, Edward Jenner, Blaise Pascal, and Johannes Kepler all had passionate faith in Jesus Christ, among many others who transformed the world with their scientific discoveries. If you’re a Jesus Skeptic, we pray this message will challenge you. To become a Christian, you don’t need to check your brain at the door. In fact, you’re invited to join a long line of brilliant men and women who have examined faith under the microscope and found Christ at the h

It’s a bit shocking today to realize that for thousands of years, slavery was considered normal across the globe. But what inspired a new generation of abolitionists to sacrifice their lives for freedom and end legalized slavery in the modern world? In this message from Liquid Church’s series, Skeptics Welcome, Pastor Tim Lucas shares how the person and teaching of Jesus Christ sets the oppressed free. Throughout this social apologetics series, we’ve been asking the question, “Is Christianity good for humanity?” The answer when it comes to racial equality? Take a look at the lives of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman and William Wilberforce - all passionate Christians whose faith led them to transform their worlds. When we look at history, we find that wherever committed Christians take root, human flourishing follows. We hope this message helps answer some of your own questions about Jesus, justice, racial equality and the history of Christianity - Skeptics Welcome! Skeptics Wel

In this message from Liquid Church’s series, Skeptics Welcome, Pastor Tim Lucas shares the historical evidence for whether Jesus really lived and if Christianity is good for humanity. Based on the book “Jesus Skeptic” by author and investigative journalist John Dickerson, we recognize that when it comes to Christianity, there is a lot of skepticism today - especially among Millenials and Gen Z. Much of that skepticism is with good reason, but what about the impact of Jesus' teachings across history? This generation isn’t just asking “Is Christianity true?” but rather, they want to know “Is Christianity good?” We hope this message helps answer some of your own questions about Jesus and the history of Christianity - Skeptics Welcome!

Have you ever looked closely at a Christmas nativity scene? You see a familiar cast of characters: Joseph, Mary, Baby Jesus in the middle, shepherds on the left, and three wise men next to the camels. This Christmas, we’re asking ourselves: Who were those wise men, really? What did they know about Jesus that we long to understand? In Liquid Church’s 2021 Christmas Eve experience, Pastor Tim Lucas shares an inspiring Christmas message about the wondrous moment when God entered our world. Together, we explore the perspective of the wise men who traveled a thousand miles following a mysterious star, all to present three special gifts to a baby born as the King of the World. We pray this family-friendly Christmas experience will fill you and your loved ones with the peace and joy of the Christmas season!

At Christmas, we celebrate the birth of Jesus over 2,000 years ago. This momentous occasion was announced by angels, attended by shepherds, and acknowledged by 3 Wise Men who honored Jesus with gifts. In this message from Liquid Church’s Christmas series, The Gift, Pastor Kayra Montanez reflects on the symbolic meaning of the third gift of the Wise Men: Myrrh for Jesus, the suffering servant. Back in Jesus’ day, Myrrh was commonly used as an embalming fluid, which is something that was used to treat dead bodies. This is obviously a strange gift to give to a baby - so what is the significance? The truth is, the gift of myrrh foretold that Jesus would be a suffering servant, a baby born with the destiny to die for the sins of the world. This holiday season, whatever troubles or hardships you face, Jesus can relate. We pray that you’ll be drawn to surrender your spirit to Jesus in worship for our suffering servant and savior.

At Christmas, we celebrate the birth of Jesus over 2,000 years ago. This momentous occasion was announced by angels, attended by shepherds, and acknowledged by 3 Wise Men who honored Jesus with gifts. In this message from Liquid Church’s Christmas series, The Gift, Pastor Tim Lucas reflects on the symbolic meaning of frankincense, which is one of the three gifts of the wisemen brought to Jesus knowing he would be the great High Priest. Why bring a baby frankincense? This gift was actually used in the Old Testament days of the Bible to create fragrant incense. Priests would burn frankincense as an offering to God during the Old Testament days of the Bible. The sweet-smelling smoke would rise like it was rising up to Heaven, symbolizing the prayers of God's people rising up to God’s throne. It’s a beautiful image that paints a prophetic picture of who Jesus would be: Our great High Priest who intercedes for His people before God the Father. With Jesus as our High Priest, we can now approach the throne of God as

In this message from Liquid Church’s Christmas series, The Gift, Pastor Tim Lucas and Pastor Kayra Montanez preach together to share three important responses to the reality of Jesus as King. At Christmas, we celebrate the birth of King Jesus over 2,000 years ago. It was announced by angels, attended by shepherds, and acknowledged by Wise Men who honored Jesus with three symbolic gifts. Those gifts were gold for the everlasting King; Frankincense for the Wonderful Counsellor; Myrrh for the Mighty Warrior; and Worship for the Prince of Peace. This Christmas, we’ll reflect on the true meaning of each of these gifts and ask ourselves: What will I offer Jesus this Christmas?
