Mercy Village Church Sermons

Children of God, we are sincerely invited to have our identity re-storied and re-storied again within the true narrative of Jesus’ sufficiency and supremacy.

It is in the presence of God that we are planted and rooted in all we need for life and godliness. And one of the primary ways we experience the presence of God is with His people.

Jesus is the Incarnate Word Great High Priest who makes a way for us to approach the throne of grace to experience God's mercy and rest.

The claim of Jesus is that the way of God’s Kingdom is the only way to life! And all other ways lead to destruction. And the work of Jesus is to make a way for you to walk in the way of God’s Kingdom.

To love God and treat others the way we want to be treated is the full sum of the Sermon of The Mount and of all that scripture requires. And we’re capable of this because of who Jesus is and what Jesus did.

We don’t have what we need to live up to the standards Jesus places on Kingdom Citizens. But our Heavenly Father has everything we need and His provision is promised. All we have to do is ask.

The judgmental spirit that Jesus condemns is laced with hypocrisy and void of compassion, but biblical discernment is humble and merciful with a touch of curiosity.

The treasure of belonging to God in Christ is more valuable than anything in this world.

We can hunger for much in this life, but there is only one Source to truly satisfy that hunger. And in Christ, The Single Source of Satisfaction looks upon you with eternal love and promises you infinite provision. 

Fear transitions into faith as we come to know that the reversal of death is the way of Jesus.

The freedom we long for is found in Jesus by the people who say, “Thy kingdom come.”

Your perceived competence in becoming like Jesus is infinitely less important than the competence of The One who began a good work in you! And in Christ, His competency is becoming yours.

Being seen as significant in the eyes of the world is not the true reward of generosity. Instead the FREE reward of being seen as significant in the eyes of God our Father through the generous sacrifice of Jesus becomes an unshakable foundation of humble generosity.

In The Kingdom of Heaven, the escalation of retaliation is not the way! Instead Jesus calls us to apprentice with Him in powerful lives of peacefulness and generosity.

The grace of Jesus transforms His followers into truth tellers that imperfectly display His perfect and unfailing trustworthiness. 

Because of the purity and faithfulness of Jesus, we can love and live lives of purity and faithfulness.

Because human flourishing is the way of the Kingdom, anger is more dangerous than many of us are willing to admit. And yet the power of Jesus to be free from anger is even greater.

Jesus fulfills the Old Testament and fills His children up with all that we need to live as Kingdom people who follow Him. 

Our ultimate purpose and hope is to see God glorified!

The true Christian is blessed in Jesus to live like Jesus so that we might receive the blessings of Jesus all the more abundantly than we could ever imagine.

The Kingdom of God belongs to those who have no hope of building their own kingdom!

There isn’t a mountain in this universe too high for King of Glory to climb.

The hope of the promised King of kings is our hope no matter who is king. So might we give our lives to this Worthy King.
