Welcome to the third week of our series on the Sabbath, where we transition from theology to the practical steps of how to actually rest well in a busy world. In this message, we explore six key principles for honoring the Sabbath, including why your day of rest doesn't have to be on a Saturday and how true rest relies on a healthy rhythm of hard work. By intentionally centering our time on God and discovering what uniquely restores our own body and soul, we can experience the deep spiritual refreshment promised in Psalm 23. Join us as we learn to give ourselves grace, step out in faith, and embrace the lifelong process of resting well!

In this final installment of our Sabbath Rest series, we explore why Jesus is the ultimate answer to our restlessness and the true source of peace for His people. From the rhythm of creation to the finished work of the cross, the Scriptures point us away from our own performance and toward the One who has already accomplished everything. Join us as we learn to combat "spiritual amnesia" by meditating on Christ and finding the soul-deep rest we were always meant to experience.

In the second week of our series on rest, we dive into what the Bible truly teaches about the Sabbath, from Genesis to the New Testament. Discover how God initially designed work and rest to be a healthy dance rather than a constant battle, and why taking a day to cease from our usual labor is a profound act of faith in His provision. We also explore Jesus' teachings to learn how this day of rest is a direct gift to humanity that should be practiced with a spirit of "love over law". Join us to unpack how embracing God's rhythm of rest can remind us of His sovereignty and completely transform the way we live.

In a culture obsessed with hustle and defined by what we do, finding true rest can feel impossible. Join Pastor Tim as he explores the book of Genesis to reveal how God designed rest to be a natural, essential rhythm of our lives rather than just an escape from the world. Discover why our true worth is rooted in being made in God's image, rather than in our constant productivity or activity. Watch this message to learn how to align your busy life with God's perfect, life-giving rhythms of work and Sabbath.

Join Mercy Church as we explore Luke 23 and the profound theological significance of Jesus' journey to the cross. This week's sermon examines Simon of Cyrene's unexpected role, Christ's radical plea to forgive his executioners, and the tearing of the temple curtain that granted us direct access to God. Featuring insights from a clip by Alistair Begg, the message reminds us that our salvation relies entirely on Christ's sacrifice rather than our own good works. Discover how the cosmic reality of the cross offers ultimate redemption, proving that no tragedy or sin in your life is beyond God's power to heal.

This week at Mercy Church as we continue our journey toward Easter, focusing on the trial of Jesus in Luke chapters 22 and 23. We explore Jesus' encounters with the religious leaders, Pontius Pilate, and Herod, examining how easily the crowd's loudest voices can drown out the truth. This message challenges us to examine our own hearts, asking whether we truly walk in humble submission to Jesus or simply look to Him for entertaining signs. Watch to discover the profound cost of following Christ and learn how to confidently stand firm in His truth instead of taking the easy way out.

In this sermon, Mike Nagel explores the powerful story of Jesus's arrest in the Garden of Gethsemane, revealing how Christ was completely intentional and in control of His journey to the cross. Even though He knew He would be betrayed by Judas and abandoned by His closest friends, Jesus willingly sacrificed Himself out of profound love for us. This ultimate act of grace challenges us to live with absolute courage regardless of our circumstances and to confidently seek His forgiveness without despair when we fall short.
