  • Fear Not: For Your Family | Pastor Darrick Smith | Mercy Church

    Fear Not: For Your Family | Pastor Darrick Smith | Mercy Church
    Apr 20 2026
    What if the family you dreamed of isn’t the one God is building? Pastor Darrick shared the moment everything shifted - when a surprise pregnancy upended their carefully laid five-year plan. He reminded us how quickly our plans can collide with God’s better design. Through Psalm 127, he anchored us in a simple but powerful truth: unless the Lord builds the house, our efforts will always fall short. He then invited us to move from fear to faith through three clear steps - release control, trust God’s sovereignty, and receive your family as a gift. Whether you’re single, parenting, or walking through broken relationships, this message is a reminder that God is always at work - even in what we didn’t plan.

    Fear Not: No Fear in Death | Pastor Spence Shelton | Mercy Church
    Apr 13 2026
    In this message from 2 Corinthians 5, it shows us that as followers of Jesus, we don’t have to ignore death or live in fear of it. Instead, we’re invited to live with a deeper confidence - anchored in eternity, trusting God’s presence, and aiming to please Him in every season. Because of Christ, even our hardest moments are not without hope. If you’re walking through fear, uncertainty, or suffering, this message is a reminder that God meets us there and offers a peace that holds steady no matter what.

  • Easter Sunday | Pastor Spence Shelton | Mercy Church

    Easter Sunday | Pastor Spence Shelton | Mercy Church
    Apr 7 2026
    Have you ever wondered if there’s more to life than what you can see? In this Easter message, Pastor Spence walks us through three powerful encounters with the risen Jesus - moments where ordinary grief is turned into unshakable hope. At the empty tomb, Mary hears Jesus call her by name and realizes she is fully known and deeply loved. The disciples, hiding behind locked doors, are met by Jesus and sent out with renewed purpose. And Thomas, full of doubt, comes face to face with the risen Christ and responds in worship: “My Lord and my God.” This isn’t a call to blind faith - it’s an invitation to respond to the reality of the resurrection. The same Jesus who met them then is still meeting people today, bringing comfort, purpose, and new life. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    Sex is for Serving Your Spouse, Not Yourself | Pastor Spence Shelton | Mercy Church
    Mar 17 2026

    What if God’s design for intimacy is better than anything our culture could offer? In Song of Solomon 4, we see a husband delighting in and honoring his bride - taking time to celebrate her with patience, tenderness, and care. In this message, Pastor Spence shows how God designed intimacy in marriage to be a gift that serves and honors your spouse, not simply yourself.
