Liberty Church Podcast

Waiting… Waiting… Waiting… Having Patience… Is never fun.  Never exciting, until the season or the product is finished.  We can't rush the process, God has purpose in our wait.  The farmer in the 1st century had patient perseverance.  Our life should resemble the farmer's patience in the wait, because the fruit on the other side is worth it all.  Be encouraged today as Pastor Nate discusses the benefit of waiting for God's Timing! 

In this message, we journey through James 4:13-5:6.  Looking at 2 clear points: how our life is but a vapor, and our stuff is but a vapor, and how we can make them both count.  What is the object of your affection, since we are stewards of all the blessings God has given us? 

This text today gives us a beautiful discourse on how to submit our life to God, Resist the tactics of the enemy, and when we draw near to God, he will in turn draw near to us. Keep watching till the end to learn specifically how we must LEAN in, and TRUST the driver or we could wreck our life. We are praying that this message will speak to your heart and life!

James 4 talks about how our pride can craft our desires and can be extremely destructive in our life.  Our thoughts matter to us, to others, and to God.  They can cause us to create friendship with the world instead of with God. Yet, with humility, God embraces us with a GREATER grace!!

Proverbs 22:6 gives a pretty clear picture of what God expects us to do with our kids, especially when applied through the rest of God's Word.  Today, Pastor Nate discusses how to PREP your kids for life, and LAUNCH them after high school graduation, Psalm 137:3-5.  The World has been attempting to steal our kids for decades, and the question is, have we surrendered our kids to the world? 

Today, Pastor Nate dives into Luke 10:38-42.  Two women sit in the room with the King of Kings, and the Lord of Lords.   Both respond drastically differently.  One lady had it right, and the other lady had it wrong.  One of these two ladies is how we typically live and act.  Which one are you?  How do you respond to the Lord today, are you running, or are you sitting?

Today, Pastor Nick Person breaks down the conversation the 2 disciples have with Jesus on the road to Emmaus, in Luke 24. There are some implications that should take place in our life, because the grave is empty. “He does not come into your life to take part, but to take over!”  Watch this sermon, ready to make the necessary changes, because of the No Body Implications!

Every Sunday at Liberty is special.  But this was Different.  24 steps of obedience, several spontaneous baptisms, salvation, and numerous stories of God working in people's lives.  God is at work at Liberty Church!  Enjoy watching and experiencing a move of God, as it is not just a sermon, it was much much more.

In this Easter Message, we learn that God has a plan.  He Created.  Man Fell.  But God Redeemed.  Jesus was the Hero of this story, but the enemy thinks, (key word—thinks) quite differently.  The Resurrection of Jesus changes everything today, in our life, and throughout the course of History, as Jesus lays the striking blow with the Enemy! 

James gives a fairly vivid picture of what heavenly wisdom compared to worldly wisdom looks like. There is a clear description of how worldly wisdom focuses on 1 person, and godly wisdom focuses on something else. Read along as Pastor Nate journeys through the last part of James 3, and looks into how our Faith demonstrates the wisdom of God.

Our tongue has the ability to create mass destruction, or life transformation.  Throughout the history of time, words have revolutionized and changed cultures, countries, and individual lives.  Our words matter.  James writes in James 3, how our words carry tremendous weight, and can breath life, or breath death.  Listen and watch with an open heart, ready to be burdened over the words you share, and blessed by the blessing at the end of this message.

Today, we look at James 2 in a timeless debate amongst Christians: Is my Faith enough?  Do my works save me?  Do they work together?  James helps us understand this discussion, so we are praying that you engage with an open heart to understand what your faith should do, and how you should respond to the Gospel, with your life and your works.

James 2 helps us see favoritism for what it really is.  It is an issue in the American church that has effected growth, depth, and outreach.  Tune into this message with an open heart, because as Pastor Nate words it, more often than not, it is an unintentional oversight, not an intentional neglect of people.  We pray this message speaks to your heart and challenges you in areas you personally need to be challenged.  

Faith Obeys.  In this passage of James, the mandate of being DOer of the word, not just a HEARer arises.  James challenges his readers by truly evaluating your life to see if you are merely listening to the words from God's Word or living them out.  Faith OBEYS, and Obedience has actions, that result after hearing. Listen with an open heart today, as Pastor Nate challenges us to truly live out the very words of our Lord.

This is the first message in a verse by verse study of James. Trials are Inevitable. Wisdom is Attainable. Temptations are Inevitable. Therefore… listen till the end to learn what to do in response to challenges and trials in this life. Keep following along to hear all the messages in Pastor Nate's series on James. 

For the last week of our Relationship series, we discuss an extremely heavy issue that is a struggle for our culture and it leads to struggles inside our marriages. We misunderstand the “naked and unashamed” portion of Genesis 2, and get the process of oneness / intimacy, out of order.  

As we continue a dive into healthy marriages, today, we look Genesis 2. We learn how Prioritizing your spouse, Pursuing your spouse, and Planning out your relationship can be THE game changer in your Marriage, and help us develop a ONE FLESH relationship. Grab your pens, and take some notes on how to create a healthy marriage.

In our second message of our relationship series, Pastor Nate addresses how women should respect their husbands, and men should love their wives, according to Ephesians 5:33. We also dive into the 5 love languages, while digging into I Corinthians 13, the Love Chapter.

This is the 1st message is a series on RELATIONSHIPS. According to Ephesians 5, and Gen 2, we learn about the roles of husband and wife in marriage. This may seem counter-cultural. But, as Christ followers, when over 50% of marriages aren't working, why would we want marriage according to culture? Tune in, take notes, and pray about applying these Scriptural principles to your marriage. 

In this sermon, Pastor Nate continues his series on controversial topics that churches do not typically discuss.  Divorce is a tough one; what does God say about it?  When is it biblical?  When is it not biblical?  What do I do if I am divorced?  How can I divorce proof my marriage.  This message discusses the foundation of marriage, and the depth of the covenant of the Old Testament.   And also how our marriage paints perfect picture for the world to see something, other than just a good marriage and family.

In week 1, of the sermon series, “We Don't Talk About…”, we discuss Church Hopping.  How does God feel about this?  How does the Apostle Paul feel about this?  What is the Church?  When do I think about Leaving My Church Family?  How did the early church deal with irreparable problems?  These questions are addressed in this message, listen with an open heart as Pastor Nate digs into Scripture and looks at how the church was founded, and how we should respond in our church today.

Today, we learn according to Isaiah 40, during an extremely turbulent time of Israel that we can gain strength from the Lord in the wait.  Don't waste your wait, but also, don't miss the miracle during the waiting season.  The Israelites waited tremendously longer than we will ever wait, and they made it through!  This can give us encouragement as we wait for God to reveal his timing and his will, which is ALWAYS ON TIME! 

Today, Pastor Nate reflects on the journey we're all on as "sojourners" here on Earth. What does this truly mean for us, and how can we better navigate it? At Liberty Church, we define the journey for every believer through three key steps. Where are you on your journey with Jesus, and what's the next step you need to take? Stick around for a powerful story at the end, about one of our young adults who, for the first time this week, went 24 hours without smoking marijuana—something he hadn't been able to do in 9 years. Find out what he replaced that addiction with and how it transformed his life.  We pray this message is life changing and life giving for you.

At Liberty Church, we passionately embrace the heart of God as revealed in Luke 15 through 3 different lost things. Each story speaks of a love so profound that it is willing to take risks, go to great lengths, and even experience desperation, all for the sake of the ONE. Jesus demonstrated this love by risking everything to pursue us, and these powerful images in Luke 15 remind us of God's relentless pursuit of every lost soul. Just as God cares for the ONE, so do we at Liberty Church. We are committed to seeking, saving, and celebrating the lost, because every soul is worth it, and we are here, FOR ONE MORE! 

This week Pastor Robert presents the case from the book of Matthew that Jesus really is the King sent by God. We will see Matthew call prophets from the Old Testament to the stand as he proves Jesus as the rightful King, the Messiah sent to save the world from sin.

These gifts carried an extremely prophetic description of who Jesus would be to the Nation of Israel and to the world. While Digging into Matthew 2, and with some help from the book of Daniel, we learn about the History, the Journey & the Visit of the Wise Men. As soon as they encounter the child, Jesus in Matthew 2, they have a very interesting response that we can all learn from.

What was not so silent, God made silent for us.  He does the same for us today.  Before THE Silent Night, there were over 146,000 Silent Nights.  But just because God isn't speaking, doesn't mean He's not working.  Watch and Listen today, as Pastor Nate addresses the “Silent Night” of Christmas Past. 

We see that Luke 1, with Joseph & Mary; they worked on themselves before entering into a relationship. And because of a step by step walk with God, their obedience changed the trajectory of even our lives today!

Malachi 3:7-10. What does this mean for us?  Could my finances be under a curse? Watch and listen today as pastor Nate breaks down generosity according to God‘s word, what God expects and how it could truly change your life.

Ninety percent of Americans are stressed about money, and money is the second leading cause of divorce. As the church, we need to address our financial challenges. In this message, Pastor Nate provides a step-by-step game plan, based on God's Word, for handling our money.

Un-Offendable 2: In the 2nd week of this series, Pastor Nate addresses how not to offend others, with our words.  Sometimes our words, sometimes our silence can be offensive, and harmful.  Are the things we say irreparable to the relationships around us?  Our words breath life OR death.  Watch and listen today with an open heart, to learn how people are receiving our words, and how we need to communicate them according to James 3.

“I'm Offended”: A statement or thought we have way too often in America. What does God's word say about being offended, and how should we respond?  

Moses didn't just LEAVE a legacy, he PREPARED his legacy.  Decisions he made in his life raised others up to replace him.  Watch and listen today, and learn how to not just leave a legacy, but prepare one for those that are to come after you. 

Faith and Politics are 2 topics that no one prefers to link, just like we think Church should be separated from state, and state from church. There is more of a correlation and connection that we must realize. Our Private beliefs should affect our public lives and vote. Listen through this message, as Pastor Nate breaks down a biblical, not political approach to policies that we are voting for in a couple weeks. 

The Missed Promise.  Today in Numbers 14, we learn the details of why the Israelites did not get to enter into the Promised Land as they had hoped.  Dont Miss what God has, and miss out on his biggest blessings as the Israelites did. 

In this message, Pastor Robert breaks down Psalm 90, the oldest of all the Psalms. We see Moses contemplate the eternal, everlasting, righteous nature of God and how temporary and jacked up man is in comparison to God. We learn that we have limited time on earth to carry out an eternal work for God.

In today's message, Pastor Nate breaks down the 12 spies that went behind enemy lines into the Promised Land.  2 men went, and 10 boys returned.  Extraordinary acts of faith almost always start with ONE bold witness, who lives not in their convenience or comfort, but in their conviction! 

John 13. Today, as we are in the midst of disaster relief. Pastor Nate breaks down how to love our neighbor, as we look at how Jesus first loved us in John 13. “By This, they will know you are my disciples.”

Jesus had a response to death and pain, was it similar to our response?  How did He deal with hurt?  Did He isolate?  Did He get angry?  Lean in as you listen to this week's sermon on Matthew 14, and learn how Jesus responded to the pain of John the Baptist's death. 

All In and All Out!!  Pastor Bob Reccord is back at Liberty dropping wisdom and encouragement as he always does. This week, Pastor Bob reminds us that sometimes, “we want to buy in, without selling out”. The men in Joshua 3 had a sold “ALL IN” mentality.   

Their simple obedience changed a generation of followers of God, and it even speaks to us today, generations later.  Our obedience protects and prepares the people around us. When you do what you are supposed to do.  

Waiting on God?  If you are in a season of waiting, this message is for you.  The Israelites in Exodus 32 were supposed to be waiting, and instead decided to make their own plans.  When we make our own plans, without God, we must deal with our consequences. God has a plan in our waiting, it may not be comfortable or convenience, but it is necessary.  And the reward on the other side is ALWAYS better than when we make our own plan.
