GENERATION 2.2
by Pastor Matt Erikson & Derek Geist on May 25th, 2025
Mobilization is about moving with purpose, not just going through the motions. In Habakkuk 2:1-2, we learn the importance of clearly writing down God's vision so others can carry it forward. To make a lasting generational impact, we must preserve revelation by writing down what God shows us, clarify our communication, and mobilize all generations to work together. Despite feeling irrelevant, older generations have wisdom that younger people need precisely because it's different from their own experience. Everyone has a role to play in this generational relay race, whether leading from the front or supporting from behind.  Read More

Passing the Baton
by Pastor Matt Erikson on May 18th, 2025
Life operates like a relay race where passing the spiritual baton to the next generation is crucial. Every action, word, and thought serves as a seed that multiplies and creates lasting impact. These seeds can fall on different types of soil, making it essential to be intentional about where and how we plant them. By understanding that everything we do is a seed that multiplies, we can create a positive legacy that continues to bear fruit long after our direct influence ends.  Read More

The Dash: Running For Eternity
by Pastor Matt Erikson on May 4th, 2025
Life is more than just existing between birth and death - it's about making an eternal impact. While we can't control our birth or death dates, we can control how we use our time in between. To make our lives count, we must avoid the traps of comparison and competition with others. The key is to strip away distractions, keep our focus on Jesus, and run alongside others rather than alone. By supporting each other and sharing the load, we can make a lasting impact that extends far beyond our years.  Read More

Long Lasting Impact
by Pastor Matt Erikson on April 27th, 2025
Legacy is about creating lasting impact that continues beyond our years, not just accumulating possessions. It centers on two key principles: recognizing that everyone matters to God and taking personal responsibility for needs we encounter. The needs we see around us are often our call to action, requiring us to slow down, engage with others, and stand up for those who cannot speak for themselves. Building a meaningful legacy happens through daily decisions to take responsibility and care for others, not through grand gestures.  Read More

I Must Grow
by Pastor Matt Erikson on April 6th, 2025
Growing in faith requires development in three key areas: wisdom, stature, and favor. True wisdom combines both natural knowledge and spiritual insight, while stature involves embracing new responsibilities and spiritual maturity. God's favor flows naturally as we align ourselves with His purposes through growth in wisdom and stature. This balanced approach to spiritual development mirrors Jesus's own growth pattern, creating lasting momentum in our faith journey.  Read More

Playing To Win
by Pastor Mike Ploen on February 23rd, 2025
The message at Mercy City Church emphasized the importance of focusing on impacting the world rather than personal success. It highlighted the concept of significance, where one gives away their achievements. The speaker used the story of Joshua and the walls of Jericho to illustrate the power of faith and the covenant with God. The message stressed the need for spiritual momentum, urging believers to adopt a war cry of "Rock Kazakh Amaz" (Be strong and courageous) and to align their hearts with God's will. The speaker encouraged boldness and power in 2025, emphasizing that true victory comes from playing to win and standing firm in faith.  Read More
