"A Call to Restoration" was this year's theme for New Mercy Community Church. Let us examine what restoration look like in God's perspective and how it is being reflected in our lives. | Matthew 2:1-12 (NRSV)

Christmas is a Promise that He will always Save and He will always be with us. | Matthew 1:18-25

Faithful waiting is not passive. Faith waiting is active participation in witnessing and testifying the birth of our Savior. | John 1:6-9,19-28

Being a part of God's plan has consequences. These consequences are simultaneously profoundly burdensome and radically liberating. In fact, they open up life in a way as to make it far richer and fuller. | Matthew 1:18-25

We will be looking at the crucial role of surrendering to God in the life of Mary, Jesus' mother. For it was only in her surrender that the promise of the Messiah was fulfilled. | Luke 1: 26 - 38

Life is about waiting. | Isaiah 25:6-9

Gratitude is a disposition that must be deliberately practiced and cultivated over time. And just like the other spiritual disciplines (e.g., prayer), gratitude forged is a bastion of nourishment to our faith and life. Giving thanks is no mere platitude; it is one of the fundamental markers and pillars of faith that is alive and well. | Philippians 4:4-9

The heart of Biblical Gratitude is Grace. | Luke 17:11-19

Thanksgiving and remembering are inherently related. One cannot give thanks without remembering. We must remember who God is and remember well because this is how we magnify Him. | Psalm 69:30-33, Deuteronomy 8:10-20 (NRSV)

Underneath everything God does -- even the seemingly flashy things -- he is after love and obedience. When we see these in increasing measure in our lives, we will see more of the life of God flowing in and through us. | Exodus 3:1-15

Our 7th year Anniversary Service. We examine the church and it's call once again.| Mark 2:1-5; 1 Corinthians 12:12-14

Loneliness is an inevitable part of life, and sometimes, the fear of being alone is overwhelming. In this week's message, we will examine how a Christ-centered community is called to help deal with such pains of loneliness. | Genesis 2:15-22

2017 Retreat : Soul Care

Sunday Sermon 09/24

Real stories of life are all around us. God takes these stories and rewrites them. | Ruth 1:1-18

Many Christians have a idealistic picture of the church. They believe a healthy and true church is one that is free from conflict. However, what the Bible tells us is that community in church will be messy. Why? Because relationships between rehabilitating sinners will always be messy. Messiness, as Tim Keller says, is to be expected in any and all human relationships. What makes the church the church is how we journey together and persevere together through this expected messiness. | Acts 15:36-41

Surrendering to the Lord is a powerful and transformative experience. | John 15:1-17

Faith without works is meaningless. In today's passage, Jesus uses the metaphor of two buildings in order to remind us that the gospel of grace demands discipleship and everyday practices of our daily lives. | Matthew 7:21-29

In today's passage, Jesus commands us to not judge others. This message should bother us all because we are guilty of judging others on a daily basis. What does Jesus mean by this command and why is not judging considered a spiritual discipline? | Matthew 7:1-6
