Radical Love Opens the Heavens | Ps. Chris Donald | MC Waco

In this message, Pastor Chris Donald teaches how radical love positions believers to live under an open heaven, where God’s kingdom becomes visible on earth. Using Acts 3: 3-10 as a foundation, Pastor Chris shows how Peter and John model the flow of heaven through awareness, willingness, and fearlessness.

We discover how Jesus lived naturally in the supernatural healing the sick, casting out demons, hearing the Father’s voice, and walking in authority and how His radical love on the cross opened the heavens for us to experience the same. This message highlights the sharp contrast between God’s kingdom and the world, revealing how love moves us from fear into bold obedience.

Pastor Chris calls listeners to give freely what God has given, step out of fear, and become carriers of heaven to the world. Through Scripture, testimony, and practical steps, we are invited into a lifestyle where radical love opens the heavens.

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.

X Commandments: Do Not Covet| Les Cody | Fort Worth

In this final message of the Ten Commandments series, Pastor Les Cody unpacks the power of the Tenth Commandment: Do Not Covet. Through the story of Ahab and Naboth, he reveals how covetousness becomes the root of so many other sins—and how it opens the door to the Jezebel spirit. This sermon calls us back to Radical Love, gratitude, and full surrender, reminding us that Jesus must remain our first love.

Raise the Standard | Jaco Booyens | MC East Fort Worth

In this message, Jaco Booyens teaches that God is setting a new standard in East Fort Worth and calling the church to align fully with Jesus as the plumbline of truth. He explains that lowered spiritual standards create compromise, open the door to deception, and produce a “blended gospel” where culture and personal preference dilute Scripture. Jaco warns against blending beliefs with worldly ideologies and calls believers to raise the standard through daily encounters with God, discerning the voices they listen to, exposing lies, and rooting their identity in Christ. The message concludes with a call to break agreement with blended beliefs and elevate Jesus above all as the true standard.

The Posture of Gratitude | Jasmine Weiler | MC Waco

In this message, Pastor Jasmine brings a powerful teaching on the posture of gratitude, drawing insight from Luke 17:1-19. She unpacks what true biblical gratitude looks like, how it not only delights the Lord but also creates divine precedence for Him to move in our lives. Gratitude isn’t just a feeling; it’s a spiritual posture that positions us in God’s presence.

Pastor Jasmine also exposes three major thieves of gratitude; entitlement, fear, and bitterness. Revealing how each one subtly pulls believers away from a thankful heart. She teaches that Satan despises your gratitude because gratitude anchors you in God’s presence; if the enemy can steal your gratitude, he can separate you from the nearness of God.

This message challenges listeners to begin each day with thanksgiving, recognizing that thanksgiving is the gateway into the Lord’s courts. Pastor Jasmine warns that a lack of gratitude can lead to a hardened or debased mind, and that failing to thank God for what He is doing communicates a deeper ingratitude for what He has already done.

Encouraging, convicting, and deeply practical, this teaching calls every believer to cultivate a lifestyle of gratitude—a posture that honors the Lord and shapes the way we walk with Him daily.

Radical Love: Courageous Warriors | Matt Wakefield | MC Dallas

“Radical Love: Courageous Warriors” is a call to rise in an hour of spiritual war. Pastor Matt Wakefield teaches that radical love produces courage—born from daily encounters with God, costly obedience, and compassion that moves us to action. In a world under assault, heaven is summoning warriors who will stand in the gap and recover what the enemy has stolen.

Calling Forth The Nazirites | Will Ford | MC Austin

In this message Ps.Will Ford prophesied over Mercy Culture Austin that God is raising up prophetic Nazirite voices in Austin! Like Israel, Austin has a call to raise up prophetic voices, but has resisted and compromised God’s kingdom voices, raised up secular voices, and has contaminated those called to have extreme devotion to the Lord. A Nazirite vow is more about consecration,
and less about isolation! The call is to be set apart and separated unto the
Lord in intimacy, not separated to be a rogue lone ranger Christian! The consecration and discipline of the Nazirite must spring from the filling of the spirit and the fire of God’s jealousy on your heart 

Toxic Masculinity vs Biblical Manhood | Holy Disruption With Heather Schott

In this episode of 'Holy Disruption' hosted by Heather Schott, Senator Josh Hawley discusses the controversial concept of 'toxic masculinity' and defends the traditional values of biblical manhood. The conversation explores how modern culture attacks masculinity and the family structure, pushing against the destructive ideology that equates all masculinity with being inherently toxic. Senator Hawley highlights the importance of men stepping up to their divine roles as leaders, protectors, and servants in their families and communities. The episode also addresses the rise of feminism, LGBTQ movements, the transgender ideology, and their impact on masculinity and family values. As a solution, both Heather and Senator Hawley call for a revival of biblical principles to restore the family unit and spark a transformative awakening in America.

It's Time to Awaken the Warhorses | Nikki Cody | MC East Fort Worth

Pastor Nikki Cody’s sermon “It’s Time to Awaken the Warhorses” is a prophetic call for the Church to wake up to truth in a culture of deception and to step into the 2025 mandate of Radical Love. Drawing from Jeremiah 1, she teaches that believers are appointed, equipped, and commanded to speak God’s Word with boldness, resisting fear, confusion, and compromise. She reveals the “warhorse” as a picture of the believer trained in pressure, unbothered in battle, fixed on Jesus, anchored in Scripture, and carrying the victory Christ has already won. Through vulnerability about her own battles, she emphasizes that God forms warhorses in hidden obedience, resistance, and devotion to His voice, calling the Church to rise with courage, steadiness, and unwavering allegiance to the Truth.

X Commandments | Do Not Covet | Ps Les Cody | MC Waco

In this message Pastor Les Cody concludes our X Commandments series with the final commandment, do not covet.

This message explores how the unseen root of coveting produces visible sin, an whow if left unchecked, it cascades into the breaking of the other nine commandments. We discover how the seed sin of covering, as seen in 1st Kings 21:1-16, is the internal sin that drives external rebellion. 

This message divulges how we tear down the principality of coveting by lifting up gratitude and generosity. We begin with our foundational text in the Old Testament with a biblical call to radically obey God by being on guard against the infiltrating spirit of Jezebel. We radically love God by not coveting.
