Mercy Culture

In this message, we continue the Connect With God series by diving into what it truly means to encounter God through biblical meditation. This message challenges the modern misunderstanding of meditation and reveals that Scripture isn’t meant to empty your mind—but to fill it with truth that transforms you.

Walking through passages like Psalm 1, Joshua 1, and Romans 12, we unpack how meditating on God’s Word daily is not just a discipline, but a lifestyle that leads to renewal, spiritual growth, and real transformation. When the Word becomes your focus—spoken, repeated, and lived—you begin to think differently, respond differently, and ultimately become more like Jesus.

If you’ve struggled with consistency, distraction, or feeling disconnected from God, this message is a practical and powerful invitation: slow down, return to the Word, and build a daily encounter that leads to lasting change.

From Reformed to Revival: How One Pastor Went All In on the Holy Spirit Pastor Josh McPherson went from a word-heavy, spirit-light Reformed church to 3-hour spontaneous worship nights, a 40-day fast, prophetic words written in a teardrop, and an invitation to the Oval Office — all in 60 days. This is one of the wildest Holy Spirit stories you'll hear.

Pastor Clay unpacks what it truly means to connect with God through learning—not by gaining information, but by becoming a disciple of Jesus. He challenges us to examine what we are yoked to and calls us to repentance, reminding us that real transformation happens when we walk with Jesus, not just learn about Him.

Pastor Chris Cheema delivers a powerful message revealing that we are created in the image of a Creator, designed to connect with God through expression—whether through building, writing, designing, or creating in any form. He challenges us to examine the source of our creativity, showing that when it is surrendered to the Holy Spirit it invites God’s presence, but when disconnected from Him it can lead us toward idolatry instead of intimacy.

In this compelling message, Pastor Will Ford explores what it truly means to connect with God through learning, drawing from Matthew 11 and 1 Samuel 22. He unpacks the biblical depth of knowledge and learning, revealing that true learning is not mere intellectualism, it is experiential, relational intimacy with God. Pastor Will challenges believers to move beyond accumulating information and to pursue the kind of knowing that transforms the heart and connects us deeply to our Rabbi, Jesus.

Pastor Will warns that every person is yoked to something, whether to Christ, to religion, or to the ways of the world, and that yoke will disciple and shape every area of life. He calls the church to get so close to Jesus that they are covered in His dust, absorbing His teachings, His way of life, and His truth in every sphere of influence.

This message challenges believers to embrace their cave seasons, because like David and his mighty men in the cave of Adullam, it is in the hidden place of learning and encounter with God that broken, distressed, and bitter people are transformed into mighty warriors. Your cave is not a place of defeat, it is a cocoon where God is preparing you for everything He has called you to do.

The vision of Mercy Culture is to take people from corporate encounters with God to daily personal encounters with God.

At Mercy Culture, one of our unique characteristics is that we are a presence driven church. We are not built around any person or ministry. We are built around the presence of God. Each week, you will hear a teaching from our Lead Pastors, Les and Nikki Cody or another leader in our community.
