Mercy Village Church Sermons

Ephesians 1:1-2 helps us see the truth that the gospel story has the power to transform every single aspect of our story. And that’s what we were made for.

Ruth 4:13-22 closes out the book of Ruth by reminding us that surely God is with us when everything is holly and jolly. And surely God is with us when it isn’t.

Ruth 4:1-12 testifies to the reality that the loyal love that comes from God, leverages privilege and opportunity for the good of others and the glory of God. And yoked up with Jesus, that love is yours and its life to the full.  

Ruth 3:1-18 gives us a look at how God's loyal love cascades from Bethlehem's Redeemer through the lives of His people to one another and the world.

In Ruth 2:1-23 we see the mercy of The Redeemer

Ruth 1:6-22 presents us with the reality that when hurting people isolate and apathetic people don’t care, loyal love leans in because of the love of Jesus.

In Ruth 1:1-5 we're connected with the truth that in the ordinary rhythms and relationships of life, surely God is with us. And this is never more needed than in our suffering.

Isaiah 40:27-31 reminds us that to be a church that embodies renewal we must be people who experience renewal and true renewal comes in Christ alone.

1 Corinthians 1:26-31 proclaims the glorious truth that it is God’s good pleasure to give His kingdom to fools and make those fools into richly blessed sons and daughters.

In Galatians 6:11-18 we see that selfishness is sabotage. But the gospel is life. Life to the full.

In Galatians 6:1-10 we see what biblical confrontation looks like as we lift one another up, hold one another up, build one another up, and never give up. All in the name of Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit.

Galatians 5:22-26 helps us understand that the Holy Spirit is seen in our lives in our lives through the growth of certain things and the death of certain things as we walk in the unforced rhythms of grace.

In Galatians 5:13-21 we're warned that true freedom isn’t found when we do whatever we want, but when we walk in-step with the Spirit.

In Galatians 5:1-12 we're graciously reminded that the stakes of life are just too high for us to run this race in our own strength or intuition. So might we run to Jesus. And yoked up with Jesus, as we run, we will find rest for our souls. 

In Galatians 4:21-31 we're reminded that there is no freedom apart of Jesus Christ. And those who are truly free should embrace that freedom fervently.

In Galatians 4:8-20, we're engaged with the truth that the compassion and care of Christ flows downhill. Sometimes we foolishly divert it, but it still keeps flowing. Might God give us grace to nurture the flow.

In Galatians 4:1-7 we're blessed by the reality that the Gospel of Jesus has the power to break our chains and make us children.

In Galatians 3:15-29 we see that the thread of unity within the diverse family of God has always been faith in the Promised Messiah: Jesus. And the conspicuous makeup of this family testifies to the supernatural power of the gospel.

In Galatians 3:1-14 we see the true gospel that saves you is the same gospel that keeps you, and the same gospel that leads you home. And the invitation of the gospel is open to all.

In Galatians 2:11-21 encounter the truth that regardless of resume or reputation, we are all equal in our hopelessness and our helplessness but, good news, by grace through faith Jesus is an equal opportunity Savior.

In Galatians 2:1-10, we're graciously reminded that the freedom that is ours in Christ is worth living for and dying for. It is worth every single act of daily dying to self.

In Galatians 1:11-24 we're reminded that where God saved us from, where God saved us to, and how He did it—every part of that story—testifies to the authenticity of the gospel message. So tell the story to yourself and to anybody who will listen.

In Galatians 1:6-10 we're reminded that there is no other Gospel but the gospel of Jesus alone and embracing this truth is both the beginning and end of fear.

In Galatians 1:1-5 (and in the book of Galatians as a whole) we see that The death and resurrection of Jesus creates a diverse family born to a life of ongoing transformation by the power of the Spirit. That’s God’s Very Good Idea! And it’s worth giving your life away to! 

In Psalm 133 we see that unity is more precious than we believe and more impossible than we acknowledge but in Jesus it will mark the most random group of saints imaginable.
