Welcome to 7 Hills Church's Podcast!
Pastor Marcus wrapped up his series, "How to Survive the Caves of Life," with a message tailored towards serving in God's house. Many of us like to be a part of what God is doing without fully committing to it. But God has called us to serve fully and without hesitation. Are you serving in the local church with the right attitude?
Continuing the message from last week, Pastor Marcus spoke on how rescue divers in the Thailand boys soccer team crisis used rope to pull the boys to safety. It was imperative that each child trusted the rope if they were to be rescued. Pastor Marcus brings that idea to the church through God's word. Trust the rope. Find hope in the rope. See how God will pull you through your situation.
Pastor Marcus teaches us how to stay listening to the voice of God. He is always trying to speak to us, but too often we are caught up in our own ways that we can fall with our eyes wide open. Are you listening to what God is trying to say to you today?
What is the race God has called you to run? How has He called you to run it? Sometimes it's hard to see the point of the finish line. Pastor Marcus teaches us what pull the finish line has on us as Christians, and what we can grab a hold of as we work our way there.
Do you have people around you that stand in the gap with you? That fight for you? That lift you up? This Memorial Day weekend, Pastor Marcus brings a timely word on the power of community in the church.

Speaking in tongues has become one of the most controversial topics in the church world. Is it too weird? Is it biblical? Is it based out of the Holy Spirit? Pastor Marcus answered these questions and more this past weekend.

Our Holy Spirit series continued this weekend with a powerful illustrated message from our senior pastor, Marcus Mecum. Most churches and most Christians haven't even noticed what the devil has taken away from them- it is the single greatest heist in church history!
Easter Sunday is the announcement that God is FOR YOU! Just like the stone was rolled away two thousand years ago, the stones of addiction, hopelessness, rejection, and all the devil tries to make you believe can be rolled away too!

This week, Pastor Marcus used the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the fiery furnace to show us how we can still praise God even in the pressured, fiery times of life. Are you feeling trapped in the fire? God is with you, even when you might not be able to see Him or feel Him.
This weekend Pastor Marcus taught us a very powerful lesson based out of Ephesians. Have you gone from church to church looking for some kind of perfection? Have you been let down? Have you been heart-broken after trying again and again? Pastor Marcus shows us how we can get back to being in love with the bride of Christ- His Church.
There is a specific and unique power that comes when you stay planted in the right place and around the right people. Pastor Marcus explained how that power can rest even in one room- just like it did for both Mary and the 120 in the upper room.

Pastor Marcus spoke this weekend encouraging us not to get complacent in our Christianity. Too many people have the "sin of being saved," meaning that once they find Jesus, they sit back and relax. Pastor challenged us to stay fighting for those who are lost.
Pastor Marcus challenged us this week with the question, do you really want it? Do we really want God to change us and work through us, or do we want to stay comfortable?
This weekend's sermon inspired us to stay focused on what we can do with what we have. We cannot be discouraged with what we don't have or be envious of what someone else has. God has given us gifts and blessings for where we're at right now - Pastor Marcus reminded us to use them!
Pastor Marcus brought a moving and inspiring sermon for Easter. Pastor spoke on how God always has one more move to make with you. Even when it looks like all is lost, God is not done. He is the God of one more move. There is always something more.

Pastor Marcus explains how we need to have true clarity on what destiny is first in order to actually reach our destiny. When you understand it, you can begin to work towards it and see it take shape in your own life- then you will begin to walk in it and act in it.
