Liquid Church With Pastor Tim Lucas

Jonah chapter 2 reminds us that even in our darkest, most desperate moments, prayer is our lifeline to God’s presence and mercy. Be encouraged to turn to God with honesty and hope, trusting that no situation is beyond His power to redeem.

The story of Jonah confronts one of the most challenging truths in the Bible: What do you do when God’s grace offends you? Jonah didn’t want to extend grace and mercy for people he didn’t think deserved it. What about you?

As Iran and Israel launched missile strikes last week, the world witnessed a terrifying military escalation. But what if the real battle isn’t just political, it’s prophetic? Open the Bible to Ezekiel 38 and discover a 2,600-year-old prophecy of a future war between Israel and a coalition of enemy nations. But, this isn’t just a war story—it’s a wake-up call.

There are bombs and ballistic missiles raining down on both Tehran and Tel Aviv. Are we seeing the End Times unfold before our eyes? Understand what’s happening in the Middle East through the lens of Bible Prophecy. And rest assured, things aren’t falling to pieces, they’re falling into place.

Dads, what are you passing down to your children? The most important thing you leave your kids won’t be money in the bank or a car in the garage. The most lasting legacy is a faith that matters—a spiritual inheritance that shapes generations.

A lot of people struggle with the idea of God's wrath. We don't like the idea that God has promised to judge sin and destroy evil. But Revelation 6 reveals a secret: the intensity of God's wrath reveals the intensity of His love!

In Revelation 6, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse ride onto the world stage. Their arrival signals the beginning of the Great Tribulation, a 7-year period of global turmoil and divine judgment before Christ’s Second Coming. This period is marked by global warfare, widespread famine, economic collapse, and the rise of a powerful, Satanic leader called the Antichrist.  Can you hear their hoofbeats getting closer?

Loneliness isn’t just circumstantial—it’s spiritual. The enemy wants to keep you isolated. He’ll twist relationships, attack your marriage, and convince you that hiding your struggles is safer than sharing them with others. But here’s the truth: You may be lonely, but you’re not alone! God sees you. God knows you. And God cares deeply for you.

Does God really care about your 9 to 5? He does! A lot more than you may think. Too often, we limit “ministry” to sharing the Gospel or serving at church. But Scripture tells a much bigger story—one where our work, from boardrooms to building sites, holds eternal significance.

Ever felt like you’ve failed as a mom? You’re not alone. Moms must live in the tension of the NOW and the NOT YET: where the daily struggles, setbacks, and stress of raising children collide with the hope of what God is still unfolding. The NOW may be hard, but the NOT YET is full of hope! Jesus is making all things new.

What does it mean to live generously according to the Bible? It starts when your heart aligns with the Holy Spirit—and you open your hands to give your first and best to God. Not out of obligation, but out of love.

When you get baptized, you’re going under the water to identify with Jesus’ death, and rising up to walk in resurrection life! This powerful moment symbolizes being washed clean, filled with the Holy Spirit, and raised to new life in Christ.

In Revelation 5, John sees a mysterious scroll with seven seals–God’s last will and testament revealing what His children will inherit!  Sadly, no one can be found to claim the Title Deed to the Universe. Until a Lion roars… and a Lamb appears! Only the Lamb who was slain is worthy to open the scroll and claim Heaven’s Throne!

Ever wondered what Heaven is really like? In Revelation 4, the Apostle John is invited to step through the door of Heaven and catch a jaw-dropping glimpse of God's Throne Room. Get ready for sensory overload as John describes the sights, sounds, and glory of God’s presence!First, did you know there are THREE Heavens described in Scripture? 1️⃣ The First Heaven – is Earth’s sky and atmosphere. 2️⃣ The Second Heaven – is outer space. The sun, moon, and stars. 3️⃣ The Third Heaven – is God’s home. This is the dwelling place of the Almighty, where John is taken in Revelation 4!So, what is the Glory of Heaven like? John’s description is other-wordly! Heaven is dazzling beyond description. Here’s an overview of all John sees and hears:

In Revelation Chapter 4, everything shifts. After addressing the churches on Earth, Jesus invites the Apostle John to "Come up here!"—giving him (and us) a glimpse into Heaven’s throne room and a preview of future events. This moment marks a pivotal point in Bible prophecy, and many believe it represents the Rapture, which is the moment Jesus returns to rescue His followers and take them to Heaven.But when will the Rapture happen? And where will Christians be during the seven years of intense suffering known as the Tribulation? Well, there are three major views of the Rapture’s timing:

Laodicea had it all—wealth, status, and success—but they were spiritually bankrupt. Jesus called them lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—complacent, self-sufficient, and blind to their need for God. They believed in a false gospel of prosperity that values health and wealth above all else. And Laodicea thought their riches made them secure. But Jesus wasn’t impressed. He told them: You think you’re rich, but you’re poor. You think you see, but you’re blind. You think you’re clothed in luxury, but you’re naked in my eyes. This is lukewarm Christianity exposed!

Have you ever had a door slammed in your face? The church in Philadelphia knew that feeling all too well. They were small in number, persecuted, and rejected—kicked out of synagogues for their faith in Jesus. But in Revelation 3:7-13, Jesus gives them incredible encouragement: “I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut.”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 anoth

Jesus warns the church in Revelation 3:1-6 about “Genuine Fake Christians”—believers who look alive on the outside but are spiritually dead inside. We discover the Christians in Sardis had a strong reputation, but in reality, they were sleepwalking through faith—full of religious activity but lacking the Holy Spirit’s power. And a church without the Spirit is just a pile of bricks!It’s no different today. Many Christians put on a religious show—raising hands in worship, quoting Scripture, even serving in church—but without the Holy Spirit, it's just a religious performance! And dead religion is a dangerous business. Fake Christians discredit the REAL Christ. It’s counterfeit Christianity. Can you tell the difference between a “genuine fake” and a living, breathing, faith? It’s not how you perform—it’s the fruit you produce! When the Holy Spirit brings real transformation, everything changes. Love replaces lust. Peace conquers panic. Patience overcomes frustration. Kindness becomes your character. And self

Would you stand up for Jesus if that meant losing your job? In Revelation 2:18-29 we discover that the Christians in Thyatira faced a real dilemma—follow Jesus or keep their careers. Trade Guilds controlled jobs in Thyatira, but membership meant compromising with idol worship and sexual immorality. Enter Jezebel, a false prophet who claimed Christians could love Jesus AND live however they wanted. She led believers into deception, mixing God’s truth with Satan’s lies—creating a false faith.Jezebel’s spirit is still alive today. Culture tells us: "Why be so uptight? Love is love! You do you!" But Jesus warns, "Repent! Return to Me!" False teaching is a sign of the End Times—people want a faith that affirms sin rather than transforms lives.The church in Thyatira had good works but lacked God’s Word—they tolerated compromise instead of standing for truth. But a healthy church invites everyone and leads to repentance!

In Revelation 2:12-17, Jesus addresses the Church in Pergamum, a city where spiritual warfare raged on two fronts. On the outside, believers faced intense persecution from the pagan Roman culture. On the inside, false teachers infiltrated the church, leading many astray from the True Gospel. Pergamum was a stronghold for Satan, influencing religion, medicine, and politics–and Christians were under attack. Pergamum was on the front lines in a fierce battle for the hearts and minds of Believers. How did Satan attack the Christians in Pergamum? And does he attack your faith today? He uses three deadly weapons to deceive and destroy:1) Persecution: This is suffering for the sake of Jesus. Your way of life is threatened–your job, your home, your family, even your life. 2) Deception: This is believing a lie instead of the truth, like false teachings that compromise the truth of the Gospel. 3) Seduction: Satan is good at making sin look beautiful. That’s what’s happening right now in America. We live in a country wh
