In preparation for our upcoming month-long study of the Gospel of James, Liberté City’s Morgan González reads the entire book for easy listening on the go. Join us at libertecity.online.church on 17 May, 24 May, and 31 May for three amazing messages anchored in the teachings of James.

Proverbs in New Testament Clothing

"Consider it pure joy my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.”

We are often intimidated when trials and obstacles come our way; when in reality they should be approached with a joyful attitude, for through trials our faith is renewed. Commencing the first week of our study of the book of James, Pastor Levi touches on some of James’ most important teachings.

As a devoted servant of Christ, James teaches us about the importance of humility. He highlights the simple truth; that the only validation and recognition we need comes from God. Humility and thankfulness for what God has given us are the soil for a rich life. Pastor Levi brings two final elements to light, opportunity and perseverance. Both of which are crucial to welcoming trials as a part of walking and flourishing in the Christian life.

You're Not Alone in Your God Assignment

“Our calling is selfless, holy, and multifaceted: to do all things that God may be praised”.

We are often occupied with trying to determine our specific role or purpose, when really, our assignment is already clear. In this week’s message, Pastor Nadia Marychurch provides a fresh perspective on our callings as believers. Nadia reminds us that our calling is not a narrow task, but a heart position, and that we are not alone in our assignment. Our calling is to be faithful with what we were entrusted with to make God’s name great. For some of us, this may take the form of a specific season of assignment, like motherhood. In this special Mother’s Day message, Nadia beautifully weaves the story of Leah’s season of birthing through our individual journeys with God. She highlights that God sees us, hears us, and is close as we navigate how to live out our God assignment.

Monument Moments

Join us to celebrate Liberte City’s one-year celebration!! From the basement to officially launching as a church, Pastor Levi highlights the tremendous journey the church has embarked upon to this point and the incredible milestones it has held along the way. Levi reminds us in this message to stop, take stock and thank God. Whilst it is important to celebrate where the journey has taken us, God invites us to celebrate beginnings, however humble they may seem. We are encouraged to take a minute to be grateful for how far we have come and celebrate the moments in between, whilst continuing to dream and pray for the future. Our story is still being written. 

The Reluctant Priest

“Let your nagging questions draw you into the presence of royalty”.

In this week’s sermon, Pastor Levi Marychurch assures us that doubt is a natural obstacle, but one that we must learn to overcome to become the Family Priest that we are each called to be. He encourages us to channel the doubt with which we wrestle to go deeper in our relationships with the Lord in the same way that King David did. Levi proposes three thoughts to ease our reluctance to share the gospel that you are God’s plan, the right people are in your life, and you have a powerful ally. God has set us on a mission to share His love with those around us. In this season, will you bring your doubt before the Lord, draw near to Him and boldly embark on the journey from a Reluctant Priest to a Family Priest?

The Family Priest

Are you equipped to articulate and defend your beliefs? In this message, Pastor Levi Marychurch reminds us that people are wondering where to find God in the middle of our current global crisis. As Christians, the people in our lives who don’t yet know God may turn to us, regarding us as “The Family Priest”, the one to whom they can turn for answers about what relationship with Christ means. Levi provides us with biblical guidance on how to answer for our faith through our words and actions and benchmarks to ensure that our answers are honouring Jesus and his sacrifice.

Wood and Stone

"The cross has significance because of the stone.” On this Easter Sunday, Pastor Levi Marychurch highlights the tension between Good Friday and Easter Sunday, that before the stone was rolled away Jesus’ death didn’t seem like good news. It is only because of the resurrection that we celebrate the cross and see it as a symbol of the best possible news. Levi explores Jesus’ victory over death through the resurrection and illustrates the ways that stone and wood have been, and continue to be, sources of life for those who love Him.

What are the Benefits?

During this time of trial, Pastor Levi Marychurch encourages us to shift our focus to God by dwelling on His benefits – his love, goodness, and presence with us. 

Levi reminds us of all that we have through Christ, and that He is the source of all that we need.  With God, despite that despite social distancing and uncertainty, we are never alone. We are forgiven, chosen friends of the Almighty. Together, let's focus on God’s benefits and tap into the abundant joy and eternal hope accessible to us through Him.

Keep Behaving Like a Child

Join us from your living room with this online message titled "Keep Behaving Like A Child" from Pastor Nadia!

In this confusing and chaotic world, we are often looking for hope, Pastor Nadia through three points encourages us to rest and ground our hope in knowing who we are as God's children and all the beautiful blessings that come with that heritage. We hope this word encourages you today!
