Mercy Village Church Sermons

The God who forms dust with His breath gives abundant tov to real people in real places, calls us to cultivate and guard His goodness, and restores what we failed to steward through Jesus Christ.

Because God completed His work and made the seventh day holy, Sabbath rest invites us to receive creation as gift, trust the Creator’s care, and look to Jesus as the one who restores the rest, renewal, and goodness we lost in Eden.

We were created for Hallelujah: to joyfully reorient all of life around the Creator who made us, sustains us, and rescues us through Jesus Christ.

Jesus is the Light who shows us the truth, rescues us from darkness, and leads us into life.

No one drifts into godliness - and no one has ever coasted into heaven. In 1 Timothy 4:6-10, Paul draws upon the image of a world-class athlete to lay out three marks that distinguish the good servant of Jesus Christ: 1) a diet of sound doctrine that nourishes the soul, 2) a discipline of spiritual training that conforms us to the image of Christ, and 3) a dedication that fixes our hope not on our...

Because God made us in His image, He blesses us and sends us to be fruitful with His goodness — cultivating the spaces, places, and relationships He has entrusted to us until all things are made new in Christ.

Because God made humanity in His image, every person bears God-given dignity, every life carries God-given purpose, and every sinner needs the restoring grace of Jesus Christ.

The God who sang creation into light, order, life, and goodness invites His creatures to sing back in humble worship, until the whole creation is made new in Christ.

In the beginning, God reveals Himself as the eternal Creator who brings life, light, beauty, and fullness into the dark, deep, unformed places by His powerful and merciful presence.

In the upside-down kingdom, Jesus remakes our busted instincts by showing us that honest need is not an interruption to mercy — it is the very place where the Son of David stops, sees, heals, and calls us to follow.

In the upside-down kingdom of Jesus, true greatness is not found in grasping for power, position, or recognition, but in humble service shaped by the pattern and sustained by the grace of our Sovereign Servant Savior.

Let our hearts burn as we open Scripture.

In the upside-down kingdom of Jesus, the road to glory passes through the cross, on the third day the grave becomes the place of victory, and still today resurrection hope becomes the reality of all His people.

In the upside-down kingdom of God, we receive far more than we deserve—not because of what we’ve done, but because of the generous grace of the King. But if we’re not careful, entitlement and comparison will keep us from enjoying it.

Arrogance walks away from Jesus, but humility comes to Him for help.

Jesus restores God’s right-side-up vision of marriage and singleness, showing that true human flourishing is ultimately found not in marital status, but in being joined to Him.

A legacy of gospel goodness is the greatest gift we can leave to those who travel through this life behind us! And to do so requires surrender, intentionality, and perseverance. And so I pray, might God grant us a vibrant gospel legacy as people and as a church.

Our daily work is a gift from God to be stewarded as worship back to God as He does extraordinary things in and through our ordinary means.

Stewardship has an outward posture: reconciled people become empowered ambassadors whose ordinary faithfulness makes the Kingdom visible.

All that we have is a gift from God, so let us receive the invitation to steward all God has given us in Christ--our time, our talents, and our TREASURES--with humility, unity, and genuine love, offering our whole lives as joyful worship to God.

Those who have been brought near by Christ are formed through a consistent, intentional life of worship together—so let us prioritize the gathering of God’s blood-bought people.

Stewardship begins with the gospel gift: access to God’s presence and promises in Christ, which we learn to steward by abiding rather than striving.
