      <title>Fear Not: For Your Family | Pastor Darrick Smith | Mercy Church</title>
      <description><![CDATA[What if the family you dreamed of isn’t the one God is building? Pastor Darrick shared the moment everything shifted - when a surprise pregnancy upended their carefully laid five-year plan. He reminded us how quickly our plans can collide with God’s better design.

Through Psalm 127, he anchored us in a simple but powerful truth: unless the Lord builds the house, our efforts will always fall short.

He then invited us to move from fear to faith through three clear steps - release control, trust God’s sovereignty, and receive your family as a gift. Whether you’re single, parenting, or walking through broken relationships, this message is a reminder that God is always at work - even in what we didn’t plan.

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.

      <title>Easter Sunday | Pastor Spence Shelton | Mercy Church</title>
      <description><![CDATA[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

      <title>Tear the Roof Off | Pastor Scott Urbanek | Mercy Church</title>
      <description><![CDATA[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.

      <title>How to Wait On God | Pastor Spence Shelton | Mercy Church</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Ever feel like God's timing seems impossibly slow? In this message, Pastor Spence explores the challenging reality of waiting on God through the story of Zechariah and Elizabeth. After years of faithful service and unanswered prayers, this righteous couple encounters a divine appointment that reveals how God's delays are about preparation, not punishment. He offers practical wisdom about remembering God's past faithfulness and worshiping through seasons of waiting. This message offers hope for anyone struggling with unmet desires. Watch or listen now to discover how God's perfect timing works for His glory and our spiritual training—even when the wait feels endless.</p><p>If you missed previous weeks’ sermons, you can listen to them here! You can also watch videos of the sermons at <a href="http://mercycharlotte.com/sermons"><strong>mercycharlotte.com/sermons</strong></a>. </p><p>Mercy Church is located in Charlotte, NC, and is led by Pastor Spence Shelton.

      <title>How to Conquer Evil With Good | Pastor Spence Shelton | Mercy Church</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Have you ever wondered how to respond when someone wrongs you? Pastor Spence's message from Romans challenges us to conquer evil with good—not through our own strength, but through Christ's victory. Drawing from Paul's letter to persecuted Roman Christians, he reveals how responding to evil with blessing, empathy, and practical acts of kindness can break cycles of bitterness while pointing others to Jesus. Through real-life examples of forgiveness, we see how leaving vengeance to God and actively clinging to the gospel enables supernatural responses that transform both victim and offender. This is a timely message on living as more than conquerors through Christ!</p><p>If you missed previous weeks’ sermons, you can listen to them here!

      <title>God’s Presence and Our Excuses | Pastor Andrew Hopper | Mercy Church</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Pastor Andrew Hopper from Mercy Hill Church in Greensboro, NC, preaches on how God's presence empowers us to confront whatever He calls us to. Just like Moses in Exodus 4, who was plagued by fear and self-doubt, we can trust that God's presence is a fear-crushing presence and a source of courage and resilience. Pastor Andrew reminds us that our hesitations often reflect a lack of faith in God's capabilities, urging us to step into the calls we've been given—whether it’s sharing our faith, leading a group, or pursuing a calling that feels daunting. From personal experience, he illustrates that we are not alone in our fears and that God's spirit offers support in our moments of weakness. This is an invitation to trust in His powerful presence and take decisive steps forward. Don't let fear hold you back - God is with you!</p><p>If you missed previous weeks’ sermons, you can listen to them here! You can also watch videos of the sermons at <a href="http://mercycharlotte.com/sermons" target="_blank">mercycharlotte.com/sermons</a>. </p><p>Mercy Church is located in Charlotte, NC, and is led by Pastor Spence Shelton.

      <title>Praying From the Depths | Pastor Joseph Anderson | Mercy Church</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Pastor Joseph Anderson from Kingdom City Church in Atlanta, GA, invites us to confront the uncomfortable reality of our spiritual depths, drawing insights from Psalm 130. He paints a powerful picture of the ocean's vastness, reminding us that while we often seek the safety and joy of the shallows, true transformation occurs when we venture into the unknown depths of our souls where God awaits. Responding to the Psalmist’s heart-wrenching cry, he leads us to recognize that prayer is not merely about surface-level conversations but an authentic dialogue flooded with vulnerability and honesty. He underscores the necessity of seeking God from a place of true need, sharing that it’s in our desperation that we discover God's unfailing mercy. </p><p>If you missed previous weeks’ sermons, you can listen to them here!

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Listen as Gaven Sublet, Campus Director of Providence Road, discusses Moses' faith in the one, true God. Just like Moses steps out in obedience to prove He is believing in the one, true God who has commanded him to tell Pharaoh to let God's people go, we are to prove our belief in the one, true God as well. The complimentary sermon from this section of scripture, which was preached at our Northeast campus by Pastor Scott Urbanek is available as well.</p><p>We've provided scripture journals to go along with this series. You can pick one up in person on Sunday, or you can download a free printable PDF version <a href="https://mercycharlotte.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Exodus-Scripture-Journals_Free-Download.pdf">here</a>. We encourage you to take notes in this journal, underline and highlight scripture, and take your journal with you to Community Group to further engage with group discussion.</p><p>Want even more Exodus content? Listen to <a href="https://anchor.fm/mercy-church">The Bench</a>, where we tackle themes and topics that didn't make it in to Sunday's sermon.</p><p>If you missed previous weeks’ sermons, you can listen to them here!

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today we begin volume one of our Exodus series. In this volume, we will cover Exodus 1-13, which is why we've titled this sermon series Exodus: Out of Egypt. Before we dive into chapter 1, Pastor Spence prepares us for the weeks to come by revealing five themes present in the first several chapters of Exodus.</p><p>We've provided scripture journals to go along with this series. You can pick one up in person on Sunday, or you can download a free printable PDF version <a href="https://mercycharlotte.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Exodus-Scripture-Journals_Free-Download.pdf">here</a>. We encourage you to take notes in this journal, underline and highlight scripture, and take your journal with you to Community Group to further engage with group discussion.</p><p>Want even more Exodus content? Listen to <a href="https://anchor.fm/mercy-church">The Bench</a>, where we tackle themes and topics that didn't make it in to Sunday's sermon.</p><p>If you missed previous weeks’ sermons, you can listen to them here! You can also watch videos of the sermons at <a href="http://mercycharlotte.com/sermons" target="_blank">mercycharlotte.com/sermons</a>. </p><p>Mercy Church is located in Charlotte, NC, and is led by Pastor Spence Shelton.

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Pastor Spence discusses his own journey battling anxiety as he guides us through Psalm 3. This psalm helps us learn how to move from knowing about God to knowing God because it shows us how to invite Him in to help us deal with our fear. Fear is one of the most primal emotions we all feel. There is an abundance of hope for us in the face of fear, whether your fear is something small that spins out of control or its something much bigger that feels as if it could swallow you whole…there are promises for you today. There is a great deal of hope for you today.</p><br/> <p>Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
