Easter People

Pastor Jim Pot, minister from Ottawa’s Knox Presbyterian, teaches the fundamentals of being “Easter People”. Jim walks us through the complete Easter story from Matthew 28 and describes Easter people as people of hope, honour, and wholeness.

We’re to be a hopeful people for what’s to come, and what might be; not fearful of the world around us. We’re to be an honourable people, that lay ourselves bare for Christ. And lastly, we’re to be holistic people, whereas Jesus is an all-encompassing influence in every part of our lives.

From Dreaming to Doing

Pastor Levi Marychurch follows Liberté City’s child dedication with a message reminding us of the importance of our own dedication to God in two forms. First, through salvation, then continually, through sanctification.

Levi reminds us of the importance of dedication by four main themes. First, dedication is essential in any relationship. Being dedicated helps craft and build the future that we want. Being dedicated to Christ bears fruit in our own lives. And lastly, Christ asks for dedication because he first gave it himself.

A Trumpet in Every Hand

Pastor Levi Marychurch teaches from Judges 7, where Gideon defeats the Midianites with God-inspired military strategy. Gideon equipped his army against the Midianites with a trio of unusual items: a jar, a torch of fire, and a trumpet. It’s easy to complain we’re ill-equipped for modern day battles, but like Gideon, God provides exactly what we need.

God allows us to partner with him in much the same way: we are the jar, the Lord is the fire, and the trumpet is our declaration. God's job is to be the fire and our job is to be the trumpet. So keep talking, keep declaring, and keep trumpeting the good news of the Gospel!

The Unanswered Questions

Have you ever been angry with God or questioned where He is or why He is “allowing” bad things to happen in your life? Did you know that it’s okay to have questions for God? In this personal and heartfelt message, Dalyn Humphrey shares tips for dealing with serious questions of faith that can separate us from God, often when we need him the most. 

Dalyn teaches from Romans 8, and highlights a few simple things that can help us through the toughest seasons. No matter your circumstances, no matter what you’ve done or what you believe, God is right there beside you. He is holding your hand, cheering you on, and loving you unconditionally.

You Can Tell a Person in Love

What does love look like? Can you see it? How about your faith? Can others see it? More importantly, can God? A young couple in love is easy to see – it’s obvious. Our love for Christ should be no different; you can tell a person in love by their actions. We can’t be good at just people, we need to be a people that are good at God!

Join us as Pastor Levi Marychurch highlights the foundations of “The why behind the what.”. They are: treating God like he is in the room, treating Christ like he died on the cross, and treating Christ as the one seated at the right hand of God.

Lessons from the Friends

Sam Smith teaches from Mark 2, in which a paralyzed man’s friends lower him through a roof because it was the only way they could get him past the crowds and in front of Jesus. What’s stopping us from doing the same? Maybe we don’t have a paralyzed friend we need to bring to Jesus, but we all have some paralysis in our lives that we need to bring before him.

Jesus was the answer – and his friends knew it! More than that, they knew that sometimes you have to do more than just show up. Lastly, they knew they had to give him to God.

The Assignment Against You

When an assignment is awakened within you, an assignment is awakened against you!

It’s not your imagination that being on assignment for God opens us up to the earthly impacts of spiritual battles; these battles are most pronounced at the start of Christ-centered growth.

In this message, Pastor Nadia Marychurch details the Devil’s tools of distraction, discouragement, delay, and destruction aimed at stopping you from making an impact for God. She uses the story of Nehemiah rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem as a practical example of how to become an expert on your own assignment for God, and reveals how to use focus, trust, people, and prayer for it to come to fulfillment.

The Miracle of the Victory

Have you ever felt like you were caught in the middle, almost wandering through life?

The story of the Israelites is one of wandering. It's a story that resonates with us because they were no longer where they were, but they weren't yet where they wanted to be; and yet God met them in the middle. 

In this message “The Miracle of the Victory”, Pastor Levi Marychurch opens the three-part series entitled “The Miracle in the Middle”.

Building Him a Healthy House

Welcome to our first instalment of our LIBERTÉ CITY Basement Night Chats. Our Basement Nights are a chance for us to talk about Leadership, Culture, and or course the WHY behind the WHAT. We hope you get something from this message that empowers you in your family, your church, your business, and your life.

This message 'Building Him a Healthy House' is a great message for church planters to share with their teams. It comes right back to the basics, and will help people to understand the next steps early on in the journey.

The Nearness of Christ

In our Christian journey it can be easy to do things FOR God, but forget that we must do things WITH God. Christ is our Emmanuel, God with us. And He wants to do life near to us; with us. In this message Levi shares about how to live a life that has Christ close.
