James address the topic of favoritism which was an issue in the early church and something that is still common today!

We finish James 1 with a message that centers around being a doer of the Word and not a hearer only.

This is the first message of our new series through the book James! We cover James 1:1-12 which deals with the the biblical outcome of trials, seeking wisdom from God, and the blessing of humility!

We continue our summer in the Psalms with a couple of iconic Psalms that provide comfort and encouragement for our every day.

In the wilderness and on the run, David writes Psalm 63. In this Psalm, he reflects on his desire for God's presence, his gratitude for God's faithfulness, the help he receives in times of need, and his recognition of God's authority over his life.

In this message from our series in the Psalms, we turn to Psalm 90. This passage highlights the eternal nature of God in contrast to the fragile existence of humanity. It reminds us of the importance of “numbering our days,” recognizing the brevity of life and the urgency of living with purpose.

On the next episode of Student Stories, we’re joined by Brett Mercer! Brett grew up at Mikado and has fully embraced the opportunity to leverage his college years to advance the gospel. In this conversation, he opens up about how the Lord has helped him navigate anxiety, why relationships hold such deep meaning for him, and how his prayer life has become more intentional in recent days.

In this message, we explore Psalm 139, a powerful reminder that God knows you, is with you, designed you, and thinks good thoughts towards you. Knowing all of this should motivate us to have the attitude of David at the end of this Psalm - letting God inspect us to expose our true motivations and desires.

We are excited for our summer Midweek series, The Psalms! Each week, we’ll dive into a specific Psalm by exploring its message and how it applies to our daily lives. We’re kicking things off with a Psalm of encouragement - Psalm 27.

Kate Hardie sits down for a conversation in our latest edition of "Student Stories." As a member of Mercer's Beach Volleyball team, Kate shares her perspective on navigating college as a student athlete. Also during the conversation, Kate explains why pouring into others produces joy, the importance of being present with the people around you, being intentional to make others feel seen, and what the Lord has taught her these last three years at Mercer.
