Mercy Culture

In this message, we continue the Summer of Prayer by looking at Jesus’ words, “Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.” Through the parable of the unforgiving servant in Matthew 18, we see that forgiveness is costly, repentance is essential, and receiving God’s mercy should transform the way we extend mercy to others.
 

Forgiveness does not mean the wound never happened, trust must immediately be restored, or reconciliation is guaranteed. It means surrendering the debt to God and refusing to let offense or bitterness keep you in bondage. Learn how to forgive quickly, keep forgiving when the pain remains, ask the Holy Spirit for help, and allow the process of forgiveness to make you more like Jesus.

Dr. Michael Brown teaches on the power of intercession — prayer that presses in and stands in the gap for others. From the Hebrew word maphgia to the example of Jesus, Paul, and the Holy Spirit's groanings within us, he unpacks what it means to identify with those we're praying for, carry the weight of their need, and contend in authority for breakthrough.

Pastor Landon Schott sits down with Pastor Martin Sedra for a conversation most churches won't have — and every believer needs to hear.

This episode traces the historical spread of Islam across nations and empires, exposing patterns of conquest the West has largely forgotten.

Together, they connect the dots between ancient conquest and what's happening in America right now — and why the Church can no longer afford to be uninformed.

This isn't a conversation about fear. It's a call to discernment, courage, and clarity in a culture that's forgotten both its history and its God.

In this powerful Summer of Prayer message, Matt Lockett and Pastor Will Ford unpack John 17 and the prayer of Jesus: that His Church would be one so the world would believe. Through the story of a 250-year-old prayer kettle, generational prayer, forgiveness, revival, justice, and the call to stand in the gap, this message invites the Church to become the answer to Jesus’ prayer.

In this episode of Holy Disruption, Pastor Heather sits down with Tim Barton — historian, researcher, ordained minister, and President of WallBuilders — to dig into the truth about America's founding. From rare original artifacts to the radical Marxist agenda infiltrating education, this conversation will challenge everything you think you know about the Founding Fathers, the Declaration of Independence, and what it means to be a Christian in America today. This is history, faith, and courage colliding — and the Church needs to hear it.
