If you believe in Jesus, most likely there’s someone in your life (that you love) that doesn't believe in Jesus. Maybe they walked away from God or never had a relationship with Him in the first place. And you’re praying that will change.
So, how do you share your faith with people who disagree with you? How do you share your faith with people who you know are going to be hard to convince?
#1) Build a bridge to others. You may be walking into a tough conversation, but the goal isn’t to argue or debate or to win an argument. The goal is to win someone’s heart and soul for Christ!
#2) Affirm their spiritual curiosity – even if it’s misguided. Be loving. Be engaging. Remember, they may be far from God, but God put them close to you and you need to keep the lines of communication open.
#3) Connect Christ to the culture. We watch the Apostle Paul do this in the Bible. His philosophy was: “I become all things to all men that I might by all means, save some!”
#4) Ultimately, obedience is our responsibility, but the outcome is God’s. IOW – it’s your responsibility to reach out to others and share your faith with those in your path, but you can’t control the outcome.
Watch this message by Pastor Tim Lucas and discover 4 tips for sharing your faith with people who disagree with you.

Have you ever felt like you have had strong pushback in your spiritual life? When we choose to follow Jesus, we’ll sometimes face resistance—often called “spiritual warfare.” This resistance can show up as doubts, distractions, or even a strong temptation to give up. The enemy (yes, Satan is real), doesn’t want us to live for God, so he’ll sometimes try to discourage us in subtle ways, making us question our purpose or feel alone in our journey.
Many people turn to things like horoscopes or fortune-telling to feel secure, but these only create more confusion. Real peace and wisdom comes from God, who has already given us strength through His Spirit. Jesus reminds us that we aren’t alone in these struggles—He is with us, helping us to stay focused and secure. Through prayer, worship, or simply asking for strength, we can feel His peace come into our lives.
While we might still experience struggles, we can have confidence that Jesus has already overcome the forces of darkness.
Watch this message by Pastor Tim Lucas to see how our faith gives us the peace to stay grounded, no matter what comes our way.

Did you know that God both opens doors and closes them? We need to learn to trust in God and that means accepting when He says “no,” just as much as accepting when He says “yes.” Both answers are a part of God’s bigger plan for our lives. If we believe that God guides our STEPS, then we also must believe He guides our STOPS. Think about it… God may block your path, maybe you won't get the job or the girl or the house you prayed for because God is actually leading you to a greater purpose.
This is what happens to the Apostle Paul. On his second missionary journey (Acts 16-19 in the Bible), Paul wanted to revisit churches in the north, but God stopped him—twice! This was a big moment because, until then, Christianity was mostly for Jews in places like Jerusalem and Turkey. But God had a greater purpose—He gave Paul a vision to go to Macedonia (in Greece), which opened the door for the Gospel to spread to Europe and the Gentiles. This enabled the further spread of Christianity! God has a plan for Paul that started by stopping him!
Watch this message by Pastor Tim Lucas to see how God puts obstacles in our way to fulfill the plans for our lives.

Have you ever felt like your past mistakes or choices hold you back? The story of Saul, who became Paul, shows us that no one is too far gone for God’s love and grace. Saul was a man who actively hunted down Christians, determined to stop the spread of their faith. He seemed like an unlikely candidate for change.
But everything changed for Saul on the road to Damascus when he encountered the risen Christ. This powerful moment reminds us that God can reach anyone, no matter how far they’ve strayed. Saul’s life was transformed, and he became one of the greatest messengers of God’s love.
This story teaches us that God sees potential in everyone, even in those who seem lost or broken. Our past does not define us. It’s God’s grace that gives us a fresh start and a new purpose. Just like Saul, we can experience renewal and become instruments of hope and healing in a world that desperately needs it.
As we reflect on this powerful transformation, let’s remember that change is possible for anyone who opens their heart to God. No matter your history, you can be used by God to make a difference.
Watch this message by Pastor Tim Lucas to be inspired on how you can be used despite your past.

Did you know we all have a soundtrack playing in our head? That soundtrack is the negative thoughts that run through our minds on repeat. These "soundtracks" can hold us back from stepping into the life God has for us. Studies show that a surprising 75% of our repetitive thoughts are negative, and those thoughts can keep us stuck in self-doubt and fear, just like they did for Moses.
Moses, a key figure in the Bible, was called by God to lead the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt. But instead of eagerly accepting his purpose, Moses felt unworthy. He questioned whether he was good enough because of his past mistakes and insecurities. God’s response to Moses was simple but powerful: “I will be with you.”
When God calls us to serve, it’s not about our abilities or qualifications—it’s about trusting in God’s power and presence. Just like Moses, we may feel inadequate, but God promises to equip and guide us.
Are you ready to serve others and make a difference? God is calling you to step up. Don’t let those negative soundtracks hold you back. When you trust that God is with you, you’ll discover you’re capable of more than you ever imagined!
Watch Pastor Kayra Montañez’s message to learn how to break free from those limiting thoughts and step into the purpose God has for you.

Over the last decade, more young people have struggled with things like anxiety, depression, and self-harm. As parents or caring adults, it’s natural to feel overwhelmed, unsure of what to do. But here’s some good news: You don’t have to be a professional to make a difference. Love and connection can play a powerful role in healing.
Mental health challenges aren’t just about finding a doctor or therapist—though that’s important. Healing also involves social support and emotional care. God created our brains in a way that responds to love. When kids feel safe, loved, and understood, their brains can actually begin to heal from the inside. This is because love triggers something in our brains that helps us feel more secure and calm.
You don’t have to be perfect. What really matters is being present and showing up for your kids. Spending time together and making eye contact helps them feel connected to you. It’s not about always getting it right, but about showing that you care.
When we make our kids feel seen and understood, it’s like showing them a glimpse of the love and care God has for them. That kind of love has the power to heal, and it starts with simply being there.
Watch Will Hutcherson’s message to find out ways to help your kids in these times of mental health crisis in the younger generation.

Parenting is a profound responsibility that shapes future generations, spiritually, emotionally, and relationally. It requires intentionality, risk, and guidance. The Bible emphasizes that children are blessings and arrows that need careful direction. However, many parents miss the mark in three key ways: risking too little, rescuing too quickly, and modeling too weakly.
Risking too little: Parents today are often overprotective, shielding their children from pain and failure, which robs them of confidence. Allowing children to take risks builds faith and resilience.
Rescuing too quickly: By rushing to save children from consequences, parents prevent them from learning critical life lessons. Failure teaches responsibility, perseverance, and helps children understand the biblical principle of sowing and reaping. Consequences lead to growth, and ultimately, a deeper dependence on God.
Modeling too weakly: Children absorb more from what they see than what they hear. Parents must live out their faith authentically—showing love, worship, and generosity in daily life. Hypocrisy drives children away from God, but modeling genuine faith anchors them.
The goal of parenting is not to raise perfect kids but to guide them toward God’s purpose. By taking risks, facing consequences, and modeling faith, parents prepare children to be arrows of light sent out to impact the world.

Are you feeling the weight of the world raising your kids in these times? Parenting today is challenging, especially with the complex world your children face. Kids encounter anxiety, depression, bullying, and overwhelming exposure to information through technology at an early age. As parents, it's natural to question if you’re making the right choices.
You might unintentionally make three mistakes that could hurt your children: giving them things they haven't earned, offering praise they don't deserve, and granting freedoms they can't handle. Giving without effort can foster entitlement, while overpraising can create anxiety by setting unrealistic standards. Allowing too much freedom, like unrestricted access to technology, can expose them to harmful influences they’re not ready for.
Instead, focus on three essential gifts. First, provide them with a community worth having by surrounding them with people who share your values. Second, give them a standard worth achieving by setting high expectations that build character and integrity. Finally, nurture a faith worth sharing by encouraging a genuine relationship with God, guiding their choices, and providing a strong foundation. These gifts help prepare your children not only for today’s challenges but also for a meaningful, purpose-driven life.
Watch this message from Pastor Kayra Montañez and find out ways to give your children a solid foundation that will take them through life.

Life often brings unexpected challenges—like storms that leave us feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or alone. We all have moments when we think we are strong and secure, but then difficulties come, and we realize how fragile we can be.
There’s a story in the New Testament of the Bible where Jesus calms a raging storm, and this story illustrates the idea that peace can be found even in the middle of chaos. In this Bible story, the disciples who were caught in the storm felt helpless and afraid. But, with a simple command, Jesus brought stillness to the storm, and calm was restored. Likewise, even when everything feels out of control in our lives today, we can take heart because there is a way to find peace with God.
This story teaches us about building resilience and finding inner strength through Christ. When life feels like there’s too much to handle, it's important to remember that peace is possible. Do not despair when faced with a storm. Instead, trust that you have what it takes to get through, and find comfort in knowing that every storm will eventually pass.
This message from guest speaker Pastor Justin Kendrick at Liquid Church is based on his new book, “How To Quiet A Hurricane.” Watch and learn how to quiet the storms you encounter!

Did you know that Gen Z has unique spiritual needs? Every generation does! Our challenge as Christians is to try and meet those needs.
Let’s look at all the challenges that Gen Z faces. For instance, they face information overload and skepticism toward institutions. They are constantly bombarded with information and are often wary of traditional systems like government, education, and even the church.
Let’s commit to making a real difference in the lives of today’s youth by focusing on their spiritual hunger and offering them the support they need to thrive. Together, we can build a vibrant and inclusive faith community that welcomes and nurtures every generation. As a church, it’s crucial for us to rise to the occasion and provide the kind of support that truly addresses these needs.
Check out this message from Pastor Cory Daniels on how together, we can work to meet the spiritual needs of GenZ.

This message features short clips from the critically acclaimed film Cabrini, which is based on the true story of Sister Frances Xavier Cabrini and was released in 2024 by Angel Studios. No copyright is claimed for Cabrini, and we assert that use of the short clips within this sermon is permissible under fair use principles in U.S. copyright law. Liquid Church is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, specifically, a non-denominational Christian Church, and the purpose of using this media is non commercial in nature.
Cabrini highlights the journey of Sister Frances Xavier Cabrini, an Italian immigrant and devout follower of Christ, who arrived in New York in the late 1800s. Confronted by the plight of immigrant orphans and the hostility of society, she dedicated her life to providing them with dignity, love, and a family. Despite opposition, she established 67 orphanages, hospitals, and schools worldwide, embodying Christ's compassion through tireless service and unwavering faith.
Did you know one of Christians greatest callings is to embody Christ’s love by caring for the vulnerable, especially orphans? This involves four key actions: First, give them a family by considering fostering or adoption. Second, treat them with dignity as each child is made in God's image, Third, be a voice for the voiceless by advocating for their needs. And fourth, support them generously through active involvement and resources. True faith combines personal purity with practical charity.

This message features short clips from the critically acclaimed movie Dune: Part Two. This film was released on March 1, 2024 in the United States by production company Legendary Pictures and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures. No copyright is claimed for Dune: Part Two, and we assert that use of the short clips within this sermon is permissible under fair use principles in U.S. copyright law. Liquid Church is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, specifically, a non-denominational Christian Church, and the purpose of using this media is non commercial in nature.
The movie Dune: Part Two resonates deeply with audiences because it explores important themes like religion, power, and the use of violence by those in charge. It shows both the harshness and beauty of life, focusing on Paul Atreides, who is seen as a prophesied Messiah. This idea is similar to the Bible's story of a savior, with many Old Testament prophecies about a coming Messiah, which Christians believe were fulfilled by Jesus Christ. The film draws parallels between Paul's journey in Dune: Part Two and the life of Jesus. It contrasts Paul's eventual quest for power with Jesus' rejection of earthly authority and his ultimate sacrifice.
Why is this important today? It highlights that while human leaders and false messiahs may let us down, Jesus, the true Messiah, fulfills all promises and offers real hope and healing. Take time to reflect on your beliefs about Jesus, exploring your faith and the nature of true salvation.

This message features short clips from the critically acclaimed TV series Best Foot Forward, which is based on the true story of Paralympic athlete Josh Sundquist and his book "Just Don't Fall." This series of 10 episodes was released on AppleTV+ in 2022. No copyright is claimed for Best Food Forward, and we assert that use of the short clips within this sermon is permissible under fair use principles in U.S. copyright law. Liquid Church is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, specifically, a non-denominational Christian Church, and the purpose of using this media is non commercial in nature.
Best Foot Forward is ground-breaking in that it doesn’t just feature actors with disabilities, some of the crew behind the camera have special needs as well. The Executive Producer, Josh Sundquist, lost his left leg to bone cancer when he was 10, and the show is based on his life story. It’s a very compassionate, family-friendly show with a powerful message about disability and inclusion that we need to hear. At Liquid Church, we have a huge heart for kids and families with Special Needs. It’s core to who we are as Christ followers.
Why? We are simply following Jesus’ example. Did you know that almost 70% of Jesus’ miracles involved people with disabilities?! The Bible leaves no doubt: Jesus cares for the disabled. And, He had a unique vision for His church, to create the one place in the world where those with physical, emotional, and intellectual limitations are completely loved. For those who are differently abled, your disability doesn’t define you. You were made in the image of God. You are His masterpiece! That defines you. And while God didn’t give you your disability or pain, if you give it to God, He will use it for His purpose! He can turn your challenge or your weakness into good.

A lot of us think joy is the same thing as happiness. We often use these words interchangeably. But, from the Christian perspective, there’s actually a big difference. Happiness depends on external things going well: getting a new job, eating a delicious meal, walking along the beach holding hands with your sweetheart. But for the Christian, joy, unlike happiness, isn’t a temporary emotion. Joy is confidence in God, and it’s something that no circumstance or person can take away. That’s a huge difference!
Did you know that even suffering and joy can coexist side-by-side? Because sooner or later, we will experience suffering, and our hearts will ache, but we will still have the joy of Jesus.
Watch this message from Pastor Cuyler Black and discover how you can experience joy in your own life!

Anger and fear have turned American politics toxic. Is there hope beyond the culture wars? Jesus lived in the middle of a culture war with Rome. His people were bitterly divided by religious beliefs, political positions, income inequality, and ethnic differences. Sound familiar?
So where was Jesus in all this? Did He side with conservatives or liberals? Did he run a campaign to Make Israel Great Again? A: None of the above. Instead, Jesus went from town to town, offering hope and a brand-new way to live free… regardless of who has the power, money, or influence. The Kingdom of God is bigger than our petty political boxes and little labels.
Jesus promised His Kingdom would transform people’s hearts… and eventually the world! This is how to live free as a Kingdom Christian in a deeply divided world!
Check this out: In the Bible (Mark 12:13-17), political leaders tried to trap Jesus into picking sides on the hot button issue of taxes. But Jesus elevated the conversation and showed that while government claim ownership of our money, God claims ownership of our souls! Every human is made in the “imago dei” (image of God) and worthy of our love, respect, and compassion.
This gives Kingdom Christians a supernatural power to love our enemies– yes, even those we disagree with politically. As a Kingdom Christian, we view politics through the lens of faith… not the other way around! Christ followers are called to wrestle biblically with hot button issues in our world– including sexual ethics, social justice, the value of human life, and immigration– and cross party lines when necessary to be faithful to Christ’s Kingdom. Jesus' liberating message calls for loving our enemies, refusing to worship the false idol of politics, and putting our trust in God alone, not the government of man.

God has a special plan for each of us, a unique dream for our lives. Ephesians 3:20 tells us that God can do more than we can imagine. If you feel your dream has been delayed or messed up, God can bring it back to life. Let’s look at Joseph, a young man from the Old Testament of the Bible, to learn 5 ways God can redeem your dreams.
1: Dreams direct your destiny: When Joseph was only 17, God gave him a dream that he would come into a position of authority. This dream gave him a sense of purpose. Your God-given dream will also give you a sense of direction and purpose in your life.
2: Require patience with the process. Joseph endured extreme challenges before his dream came true. He was betrayed, sold into slavery, and put in prison. But these challenges were part of God’s plan to prepare him. Just like Joseph, sometimes we have to wait and grow before our dreams come true.
3: Expect setbacks along the way. Joseph faced many problems, but they were all part of God’s bigger plan to redeem his dream. Even when things go wrong, God is still in control.
4: Always bless others. Even when Joseph was in prison, he helped others with their dreams. A true dream from God is not just about us; it also helps others.
5: Make beauty from ashes. Despite all the bad things that happened to Joseph, he kept his faith. In the end, he was promoted and his dream came true. God can take the hard and painful parts of our lives and turn them into something beautiful.
If you’re feeling discouraged, remember: God can redeem your dream! Trust Him, be patient, and know that He is working everything out for your good. Your life, in God’s hands, can become a beautiful masterpiece.

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.
