Unity Is Required | Seth Morrow | MC Austin

In this message, Pastor Seth unpacks the power and necessity of biblical unity. Through Acts 2 and Psalm 133, he reveals that unity is not compromise or uniformity, but a spiritual oneness produced by the Holy Spirit and stewarded by God’s people.

This message confronts the dangers of discord, rebellion, and division while calling the Church into “one accord” with the Spirit of God. From marriage and ministry to worship and revival, Pastor Aaron shows that unity is required to carry the Presence of God, command His blessing, and walk in corporate anointing.

If we want revival, we can’t just pursue an experience. We must pursue unity.

How to Connect with God Through Conversation | Will Ford | MC East Fort Worth

This message from Pastor Will Ford focused on how believers can connect with God through real, ongoing conversation rooted in prayer, listening, and obedience. Using examples from Scripture such as Moses, Samuel, David, Paul, and Pentecost in Acts 2, the sermon emphasized that conversation with God is relational, not transactional, and requires honesty, humility, and responsiveness. Pastor Will Ford taught that spiritual maturity comes from turning toward God, hearing His voice, and obeying what He says, while also encouraging believers to embrace the Holy Spirit, the gift of tongues, and the power available through Spirit-filled living. The overall message called people to deeper intimacy with God, greater sensitivity to His voice, and openness to the Holy Spirit’s presence and power.

Pentecost Sunday | Zane Anderson | MC Waco

In this compelling message, Pastor Zane Anderson explores the person and power of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost Sunday, drawing from Acts 2 and John 14. He unpacks the truth that the Holy Spirit is not merely a force or an influence, He is a person with a voice, a will, and a deep desire for intimate relationship with every believer. Pastor Zane challenges the church to stop relating to the Holy Spirit as an occasional experience and to begin walking with Him as a daily companion and friend.
Pastor Zane reminds believers that every Spirit-filled believer already carries all the gifts of the Holy Spirit, because the gifts are not something you receive, they are manifestations that the Spirit releases through you as you make yourself available. He calls the church to stop waiting for someone else to minister and to become the vessel God needs in the marketplace, the grocery store, and the everyday moments of life.
This message challenges believers to activate their spiritual language, because praying in the Spirit is not just for church services, it is the tool that builds up your inner man, keeps you on target in prayer, and prepares you for whatever the day may bring.
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.

One Moment with God Did What 18 Years of Therapy Couldn't

In this episode of Holy Disruption, Pastor Heather Schott sits down with Pastor Sean Gleason for a raw and honest conversation about depression, suicidal thoughts, medication, trauma, healing, and the power of Jesus to restore the mind. Together they confront cultural narratives surrounding mental health, the Church’s response to suffering, and the hope found in surrendering every part of your life to God.

Pastor Sean vulnerably shares his personal testimony of battling suicidal thoughts, searching for answers, and ultimately encountering the healing presence of God. This conversation challenges the Body of Christ to walk in compassion, truth, discernment, and freedom while reminding those who are struggling that they are not alone.

How to Connect with God through Meditation | Sean Gleason | MC Waco

In this powerful message, Pastor Sean Gleason explores what it truly means to connect with God through meditation, drawing from Joshua 1. He unpacks the critical difference between biblical meditation and demonic meditation, revealing that biblical meditation is not about emptying yourself, it is about feasting on the word of God until everything else begins to exit. Pastor Sean challenges believers to choose what they meditate on, because their meditation will determine their direction.
Pastor Sean warns that when believers chew on the lies of the enemy rather than the truth of God, they give the enemy agreement and power over their lives. He calls the church to take every thought captive, not by suppressing it, but by bringing it before Jesus and making it listen to what God says.
This message challenges believers to understand that the prescription for seasons of transition is meditation on the word of God, because what got Israel into the promised land was not their strength, it was their willingness to think about the right things.
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.

Partial Obedience is Rebellion | Aaron Christopherson | MC Dallas

Pastor Aaron unpacks the danger of partial obedience and reveals how rebellion often hides behind selective Christianity. Through the story of Saul in 1 Samuel 15, he confronts the ways believers can justify compromise, resist surrender, and place their will above God’s—while calling the Church back to full obedience, true surrender, and holiness before the Lord.
