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 this episode of Spiritual Leadership with Landon Schott, Landon discusses the misconception that serving and knowing God, as well as ministry, has to be hard.

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 service from Mercy Culture Church features an engaging conversation with Catherine Mullins, an international worship leader and pastor.

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.

In her message titled “Worshipers Buy Oil,” Pastor Dehavilland Ford unpacks the parable of the ten virgins from Matthew 25, calling it a blueprint for the end times and a clear warning to believers to be spiritually prepared. She explains that all ten virgins were pure and had lamps—symbolizing ministry and light—but only five carried extra oil, representing daily intimacy with Jesus through the Holy Spirit. The core issue was not morality or external appearance but the presence—or absence—of cultivated oil: personal history with God, sustained through worship, the Word, prayer, and obedience.

This sermon from Mercy Culture Church, delivered by Ps. Jasmine Weiler, emphasizes the importance of worship and the ongoing battle over where one's worship is directed. Ps. Jasmine breaks down the scripture passage 2 Samuel 11:1-5, 14-17, recounting King David's misdeeds, and uses it to illustrate the consequences of misplacing worship. She outlines four types of worship practiced at the church—intercessory, high praise, adoration, and prophetic—and stresses that worship is active, not passive. Weiler warns against idols, explaining how they can displace true worship, and argues that whom or what we worship ultimately positions us either on God's side or as an enemy of God. The message underlines that every act of worship declares which side one is on, urging believers to identify and cast down their idols to truly worship God.

In this compelling message, Pastor Trough teaches that true worship isn't cheap—it's costly.

Pastor Sean Gleason's message Radical Love: Beloved Identity centers on the truth that our identity isn't found in what we do, but in being radically loved by God. Using Mary Magdalene's encounter with Jesus in John 20, he shows that when Jesus calls your name, He calls you “Beloved.” Pastor Sean explains that God gives new names in Scripture to declare purpose and identity, and that true transformation comes through receiving the spirit of adoption, not striving. Beloved identity breaks shame, ends competition, and leads to unity. We can only truly love God when we understand how deeply we are loved by Him.

Ps. Isaac Hector of Mercy Culture Church delves into the theme of overcoming spiritual disillusionment in his message titled 'Unjaded.' He quotes Hosea 2:14-23, emphasizing God's promise to transform places of shame into doors of hope. Ps.

Isaac shares his personal struggle with jadedness, how it seeped into his relationships and spiritual life, and how God revealed this condition to him.
