This week our Lead Pastor, Miles Fidell, walks us through the story of Samson, reminding us that even in failure, God invites us to embrace our brokenness and discover His strength through our weakness.
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. Each week, you will hear a teaching from our Lead Pastors, Les and Nikki Cody or another leader in our community. To learn more about Mercy Culture, visit https://mercyculturewaco.com

Today, on Karl and Crew, we kicked off the week with discussions about a cancer patient ministry with Phil Zielke and how to make the most of a screen-free summer with your kids, with Arlene Pellicane. First, Phil Zielke joined us to share his testimony of how he drew near to God when he was diagnosed with Stage 4B Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, and then how God placed it on his heart to start a ministry that serves cancer patients. Phil’s Friends is a ministry that provides Christ-centered support and hope to those affected by cancer. Then we had Arlene Pellicane join us to talk about the importance of parents connecting with their children by limiting their screen time. Arlene is a speaker, author, and host of the Happy Home podcast. She is also a marriage and parenting expert. Arlene has also authored several books, including “Screen Kids.” We then discussed our need for God’s grace. We were born into sin, so it is in our nature to be sinful, but when we are born again through Christ, we are renewed by God’s grace. Romans 7:18-25 affirms this, as Paul tells us that sin dwells within us and affects how we move and think without God. Only God can deliver us from sin through Jesus Christ. We also heard updates from Karl, who was broadcasting remotely from the Maranatha Bible Missionary Conference, Vacation and Retreat Center. Dr. Josh Stephens joined Karl to discuss the sovereignty and providence of God as shown throughout the book of Ruth. Dr. Stephens is the Lead Pastor of Cape Bible Church in Missouri and is also the founder and executive director of the Biblical Counseling Alliance.

In this message, Jose Zayas teaches from Exodus 32, where the people of Israel turn from God to worship a golden calf, revealing how quickly hearts can drift from trust to idolatry. Though God had just invited them into covenant relationship, their impatience leads to a distorted version of worship shaped by fear and self-reliance. In response, God's anger burns, but through Moses' bold intercession, we see that mercy and judgment are held together in God's character. This moment becomes a mirror for our own hearts—exposing where we've reshaped God into our own image or failed to trust Him fully. Yet even in failure, the message is one of grace: God remains willing to forgive, restore, and lead His people, calling them back into faithful partnership through repentance and renewal. Jose serves as the Lead Pastor of 26 West Church in Portland, Oregon and speaks at festivals and conferences across the country.

How Do I Pray to God? | The Practice of Prayer – Week 2
In this topical series, we walk through various passages in the Bible that address common ideas that might not have much of a biblical basis. In this message, our Lead Pastor, Tim Wolf, addresses the idea that “You don't have to forgive them.” The post Things Jesus Never Said Part 4 – You don't have to forgive them appeared first on United Church.
Do you trust God? This week, our Lead Pastor, Miles Fidell, unpacks the story of Jephthah, challenging us to do the inner work necessary to truly surrender our story to Jesus—instead of clinging to control and facing consequences that were never meant to be ours.
In this series we are looking together at the power of vows, promises and commitments that we make to God. In this message we look at the commitment that we can make to God to serve him – the vow to volunteer. Together we'll see the power of fulfilling this commitment and the outcomes God brings as we do so. Speaker: Minister & Lead Pastor, Tom Olsson Passage: Matthew 14:13-21 This was recorded live in Grand Rapids, MI on July 13, 2025
What does it mean to be truly gospel-ready? In this message from Romans 10, Brian White, Lead Pastor of Harvest Church in Carmel, Indiana, challenges us to examine three key areas of gospel readiness: our motivation to see people saved, our message—a clear understanding of the gospel itself—and our method, the call to go and proclaim Christ. Whether you've been sharing your faith for years or are just beginning, this sermon will help you prepare your heart, sharpen your message, and step into God's mission with confidence. Listen now.

In this episode of Crossing Faiths, John Pinna speaks with Brad Knight, son of Paula White Cain and stepson of Jonathan Cain. Knight details his parents' unique meeting on a Southwest flight and how their diverse backgrounds (his mother as a faith advisor and his stepfather as Journey's keyboardist) have influenced their lives. The conversation then shifts to Knight's personal journey, sharing his experience as a pastor of Story Life church, which he took over from his mother, emphasizing a storytelling and prophetic approach to faith rooted in love and grace rather than judgment. He reveals his own past as an atheist and his powerful, personal spiritual encounter, contrasting this experiential faith with rigid theological apologetics. Knight also discusses his involvement with the National Faith Advisory Board, highlighting its role in fostering interfaith engagement, particularly since the Trump administration, to preserve shared values and encourage people of faith to actively participate in the political sphere, asserting that faith and public life should not be separated. About Brad Knight Brad Knight is the Lead Pastor of StoryLife Church (https://www.storylifechurch.com/) in Apopka, FL. In addition to pastoring, he works with the National Faith Advisory Board to engage the faith community on issues that matter most to them. That's all wonderful, but he knows most people just know him as the son of Paula White-Cain, a prominent preacher and political figurehead. He's cool with that. He's 14 years into a marriage to a beautiful firebrand named Rachel Knight and has the two cutest kids in the world—his 8-year-old daughter, Asher, and his 6-year-old son, Nick. He really believes Bret Hart is "The Best There Is, The Best There Was, And The Best There Ever Will Be." Will preach for baseball tickets.
In this episode, Pastor Les and Pastor Nikki Cody speak with the worship panel—a team of worship leaders from across Mercy Culture, including Chris Martin, Lauren Caldwell, Brendan Hollis, and Kim Collins. Together, they discuss what worship means to Mercy Culture and answer some of the common questions the church receives. 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. To learn more about Mercy Culture, visit https://mercyculturewaco.com
