Mercy Hill Church Sermons

How do we find peace on the near side of God’s provision? So often we assume we can only experience it after he provides, after he rescues, after the storm subsides and there is calm in the waters of our life again. Is it even possible to sabbath in the storm? According to Acts 27 . . . yes!

The Good Life is a life lived in God’s presence, where he draws near to us and delivers us through our troubles. Lean in and taste.

Jesus doesn’t save us just to save us. He saves us to send us. He brings us in to thrust us out. He gives us a place with himself and a purpose in this world!

Because our lives are fragile and fallen before an everlasting and holy God, we can only find joy and purpose in this present life by seeking His grace and wisdom 

Christians are called to be ambassadors for Christ in this life (cf. 2 Cor. 5:20). We’re to reach others with the gospel that’s reached us. But a lot of times we don’t know how to do it. We can learn a lot by watching the Apostle Paul. Here in Acts 26 we see that he shares his faith in a way that is both logical and historical.

“Mercy Hill Church exists to help restore us to God, neighbor, and city through the good news of Jesus Christ.”

Church unity isn't built by loyalty to leaders, shared heritage, or even a shared cause. It is the fruit of each believer's oneness with Christ. When we drift from Him, we drift from each other; when we walk with Him, we walk together.

In the closing chapters of Acts, Luke goes out of his way to show how the story of Paul follows after the pattern of Jesus. The point is clear: those who look to Christ will look like him—but, even more specifically, they will look like the cross!
