What happens when Jesus crashes a funeral? In the New Testament, we see three powerful moments where Jesus walks into the middle of grief—not with flowers or condolences, but with resurrection power. That’s what this series, Funeral Crashers, is all about: discovering the joy that comes in the mourning when Jesus shows up in our deepest pain. In this message, we look at the story of Jairus in Luke 8. Jairus had run out of options. His only daughter was dying, and all he could do was fall at the feet of Jesus. And it’s there—when self-sufficiency ends and surrender begins—that Jairus discovers the truth: Jesus doesn’t ask us to believe harder… He asks us to trust Him. 🙌 Jesus asks: Do you trust Me with your kids? Do you trust Me with your future? Do you trust Me with your grief, your addiction, your doubts? When we’ve done all we can do, that’s when Jesus does what only He can do. He walks into the middle of our mess, pulls up a chair, and makes Himself at home—even in the places we’d rather keep hidden. And here’s the good news: Jesus has the authority to say what no one else can say. And as Jesus raises a 12-year-old girl from the dead, He says to Jairus. “Don’t be afraid, just believe.” “Stop wailing, she is not dead but asleep.” “My child, get up.” Only Jesus can turn a funeral into a family dinner. He is the Life-Giver, Chain Breaker, Storm Calmer, Fear Crusher, Way Maker—and yes, the Funeral Crasher! So the question for you today is simple: Do you trust Him? Whatever is dying in your hands—your hope, your health, your faith—lay it at His feet. Watch this message from Pastor Zach Taylor and discover how Jesus can bring resurrection in your life where you least expect it. #Resurrection #FuneralCrashers #LiquidChurch

After running from God and getting swallowed by a whale, the prophet Jonah finally obeys God’s command and preaches to the Assyrians in Ninevah—but the real test comes in Chapter 4 of the Book of Jonah. What do we learn here? That sometimes getting a second chance is easier than giving one. We don’t want to give second chances to people we feel don’t deserve it. It could be the absent parent, the unfaithful spouse, or the friend who let you down. God’s grace toward them can feel unfair—but that’s what grace is. Unearned. Undeserved. And yet God gives it freely. Jonah wrestles with God because he doesn’t believe the people of Nineveh deserve mercy and forgiveness. The book of Jonah is calling all of us to look in the mirror because we all have those people in our lives. People we think are beyond redemption. But God says: “Do you do well to be angry?” Holding onto bitterness won’t heal you. It’ll hollow you out. And God is inviting you to let it go. Because, God is for you—but He’s not just for you. He’s the God of all people, even your enemies. For God there is more than one way to deal with an enemy. You can kill them. Or you can convert them into a friend. When it comes to who God gives grace to, it’s not our decision. God is calling you to drop your prejudices. To drop your hate. And to love your enemy. So, the question is: Who in your life do you need to give a second chance to? Watch this powerful message from Pastor Zach Taylor and discover how God’s mercy isn’t limited—and neither should ours be. #Jonah #SecondChances #LiquidChurch

You may be lonely—but you’re not alone. 💔 From the very beginning, God made it clear: “It is not good for man to be alone.” (Genesis 2:18) You were created for connection—not isolation. In fact, God’s people point us to God’s presence. He designed relationships to lead us back to Him. Yet so many of us silently carry the ache of loneliness. We feel unwanted, forgotten, and unseen. But here’s the truth: God sees you. God knows you. And God cares deeply for you. You may be lonely, but you’re not alone! In this powerful message, we explore the spiritual and emotional weight of loneliness—what the Bible says about it, and what it means for our lives today. Modern science confirms that loneliness is literally killing us. In fact, the U.S. Surgeon General recently declared loneliness a public health crisis, comparing its danger to smoking 15 cigarettes a day. But 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 “ME TOO” is the most powerful phrase you can use to end isolation. It helps you relate to and connect with others on a deeper level. And Jesus—the One who left Heaven to restore relationship with you—says it loudest: “I will never leave you.” So if you feel lonely today, don’t believe the lie that you’re alone. Watch this message from Pastor Zach Taylor and discover that there’s hope, healing, and connection in the family of God. #YouAreNotAlone #FaithAndLoneliness #LiquidChurch

Experts say we’re living in the midst of a mental health crisis—and Christians aren’t exempt. We get anxious. We burn out. We spiral at night. We wrestle with depression and sometimes feel pressure to hide it behind a spiritual smile. But here’s the truth: Jesus cares deeply about your mind, your emotions, and your mental health. Here are 3 Mental Health Myths that keep Christians stuck in shame: 💡 Myth #1: “Real Christians don’t struggle with mental health.” That’s a lie. You can love Jesus and still battle anxiety. You can read your Bible daily and still face depression. Scripture itself shows us spiritual giants who experienced deep emotional pain. Struggling doesn’t make you less Christian—it makes you human. Sadly, too often the church has equated mental illness with moral weakness. But that’s not the Gospel. Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.” 💡 Myth #2: “I have to handle my mental health on my own.” Grief doesn’t end by forcing a smile. Sadness doesn’t lift because you finished your emails. Healing often starts when we ask for help—from a Christian counselor, a friend, or a pastor. Asking for help isn’t weakness—it’s wisdom. 💡 Myth #3: “I’m the only one struggling.” Comparison in church can make us feel isolated and ashamed, but Jesus came for the tired, the broken, and the barely-holding-it-together. You are not alone. Watch this message from Pastor Zach Taylor and discover that Jesus offers real peace—not the absence of problems, but His presence in the middle of them. Your next step may be simple but powerful: raise your hand and ask for help. Don’t fake peace–fight for it! #PeaceofMind #MentalHealth #LiquidChurch

After running from God, getting thrown overboard a ship, and swallowed by a whale, the prophet Jonah finally surrenders—and God gives him a second chance. In Chapter 3 of the Book of Jonah, the prophet is back on dry ground and this time, he’s ready to obey. God tells Jonah a second time: “Go to the great city of Nineveh and proclaim to it the message I give you.” (Jonah 3:1-2) What does this teach us about God? 🔁 We serve a God of second chances. He doesn’t just restore Jonah—He uses him! And this isn’t just Jonah’s story... It's the story of the whole Bible. Moses. Rahab. Peter. Paul. All were broken people given another shot. 🎣 God even uses Jonah’s mess as a message. The people of Nineveh worshipped a fish-god named Dagon—and here comes a man who literally smells like fish, bleached by stomach acid, walking into their city. He didn’t need to perform a miracle… he was the miracle. The moment he shows up, they listen. 👑 Even the king repents. From the least to the greatest, Nineveh turns from evil—and God relents. That’s the real miracle: REVIVAL. Scholars estimate that over 120,000 people turned back to God that day! What does this mean for you in today’s context? No one is too far gone for the God of mercy. Too often we think that God is waiting to punish us. That’s not true! He’s waiting to forgive you. His mercies are new every morning, and He delights in showing grace. Watch Pastor Zach Taylor unpack this powerful moment from Jonah’s journey—and discover that what you see as a setback might just be God’s setup to change your life. #Jonah #Revival #LiquidChurch

Why does God make us wait? Waiting is hard when it’s about dinner or departure times—but it can feel devastating when you’re waiting for something bigger: your future, your healing, your child, your marriage, or your miracle. But what if God’s timing is always perfect, even when it feels late? In John 11, we find one of the most powerful stories of waiting in the entire Bible: the story of Lazarus. When Jesus hears that His close friend Lazarus is sick, He doesn’t rush to help. Instead, He waits two more days. To us, that sounds confusing—even cruel. But Scripture makes it clear: Jesus loved Mary, Martha, and Lazarus deeply. His delay wasn’t punishment. It was love. Too often we think waiting means God is ignoring us or upset with us. But the truth is the very opposite: the ones God makes wait are often the ones He loves the most. 💡 Here’s the hope in this story: You may be waiting, but God is working—behind the scenes, in ways you can’t yet see. Behind every divine delay is a divine design. God may not meet your expectations because He’s planning to exceed them. When Lazarus dies, his sisters come to Jesus with grief and questions. How does Jesus respond? With both truth and compassion. He reminds them that He is more powerful than their circumstances—and He also weeps with them. Your tears are not wasted with Jesus. He feels your pain before He fixes it. In your waiting, Jesus offers more than answers. He offers Himself. He may not give you what you want, when you want it, but He’ll always give you more of Himself. That’s the power of trusting Jesus in the delay: He always shows up! Watch this message from Pastor Zach Taylor and learn that sometimes God is not meeting your expectations because he’s planning to exceed them. #Resurrection #FuneralCrashers #LiquidChurch
