    In Worship: The Labor of Love, Pastor Will Ford teaches that work is more than a task—it's worship. Drawing from the Hebrew word avodah, which means work, worship, and service, he illustrates how daily labor was always intended to be an act of devotion to God. Since the Garden of Eden, man was created to cultivate in partnership with God, but after the Fall, humanity began working for significance instead of from significance. Jesus redeemed this curse, restoring work as a labor of love. Pastor Will emphasizes that excellence in work honors God, and when we offer our best, even mundane jobs become sacred. Drawing parallels between the Levites and modern believers, he charges Christians to carry God's glory into every sphere—business, politics, creativity, and culture. Through biblical insight and inspiring stories of believers like Madam C.J. Walker and William Merrill Vorhies, the message commissions every Christian to see their vocation as a calling, their workplace as a ministry, and their work as worship.

    In Pastor Will Ford's message "From a Glimpse to a Gaze"  he emphasizes the power of spiritual intimacy with God over mere activity for Him. Drawing from biblical examples like Mary and Martha, it contrasts being busy serving (Martha) with abiding in God's presence (Mary), highlighting that true anointing flows from relationship, not performance. The anointing is likened to a fragrance that influences both the natural and spiritual realms—drawing angels and repelling demons. Just as perfume was used in the Old Testament to consecrate and set apart, believers today are anointed to love, worship, and gaze upon Jesus. This gaze transforms both the worshipper and the heart of God. Ultimately, we are invited to move beyond a passing glimpse of God into a deep, life-altering gaze that shapes us into His likeness.

    This morning, Pastor Matt Wakefield delivers a powerful message on the theme: "How We War in Worship."Drawing from the rich narrative found in 2 Chronicles 20, Pastor Matt unpacks how worship is not just a passive act, but a dynamic spiritual weapon used to engage in spiritual warfare. Pastor Matt emphasizes that praise is a weapon—not one forged of human strength, but one that shifts the atmosphere and invites God's presence to move on our behalf. When we worship, we are not ignoring our battles; we are positioning ourselves to let God fight for us. Throughout his message, he outlines 7 expressions of worship—practical and biblical ways we can outwardly express our praise—and shares 6 foundational truths about praise, each pointing to the power, purpose, and spiritual authority that praise carries. He boldly declares that when praise goes first, we don't have to force the breakthrough—we simply watch God bring it. Just as the enemies of Israel turned on themselves when Judah praised, we too will see confusion fall on the plans of the enemy when we exalt God above our circumstances. In the end, Pastor Matt leaves the church with a call to live a lifestyle of worship—not just on Sunday mornings, but in every moment we face opposition. Because in worship, we don't just survive the battle—we declare victory before it even begins. 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.
