The Presence Driven Leader | Lauren Caldwell | MC Waco

In this message, Lauren Caldwell shares how radically loving God means being led by His presence rather than personal preference. Using John 15:5-11 as the foundation, this message reveals that true fruitfulness and joy come only from abiding in Him.

Lauren challenges listeners to examine where comfort, control, and fear may be replacing daily dependence on God. Through Scripture and testimony, this message calls believers to repentance, obedience, and a life surrendered to the Holy Spirit by choosing presence over preference and producing lasting spiritual fruit.

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

VISION SUNDAY | MC FORT WORTH

Hollywood Underworld | Holy Disruption With Heather Schott

In this episode of Holy Disruption, Heather Schott sits down with filmmakers Chuck Konzelman and Cary Solomon—creators of Unplanned and Nefarious—to expose the spiritual war within Hollywood and how media has intentionally discipled generations away from God. Together they unpack Hollywood’s hidden agendas, from normalized witchcraft and anti-God messaging to the strategic push for abortion and the shaping of cultural beliefs through storytelling. They share firsthand experiences of demonic activity during filming, why they believe Hollywood is collapsing under its own corruption, and how God is raising up a new movement of Kingdom creatives in places like Texas and Tennessee. This episode calls the Church to boldness, purity, and creative obedience as God prepares to reclaim media for His glory and awaken a generation to truth.

Calling Forth the Nazirites | Will Ford | MC East Fort Worth

Pastor Will Ford brings a powerful call to “raise up the Nazirites” — a generation set apart with radical devotion, purity, and prophetic boldness. This message challenges us to break compromise, awaken spiritual passion, and step into the consecration God is calling His people to in this hour. 

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.

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.
