April 13, 2026 Fear Not: No Fear in Death | Pastor Spence Shelton | Mercy Church
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.

April 07, 2026 Easter Sunday | Pastor Spence Shelton | Mercy Church
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. See https://pcm.adswizz.com

March 30, 2026 Tear the Roof Off | Pastor Scott Urbanek | Mercy Church
What if the greatest act of love is simply bringing someone to Jesus? In Luke 5, we see four friends so desperate to get their paralyzed friend to Christ that they tear through a roof to make a way. In this message, Pastor Scott walks us through this powerful story, showing us both our deep need for Jesus and the kind of bold, faith-filled love that refuses to give up on others.
This passage challenges us to live with urgency and compassion, seeing people the way Jesus does and doing whatever it takes to bring them to Him. Whether you’re carrying burdens of your own or feeling stirred to step out for someone else, this message invites you to be “that friend” who believes Jesus is the answer and acts on it.

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