There Is None Like It | Marcus Mecum | 7 Hills Church

In 1 Samuel 21:8–9, David is given the sword of Goliath and declares, “There is none like it. Give it to me.” It was a weapon already proven by victory, stained with defeat, and feared by the enemy.That’s how the Word of God is. The Bible is living, incorruptible, and fully inspired. It is not untested or outdated. It is powerful, proven, and still effective today. Jesus is the Word made flesh, and Scripture is inseparable from Him. When the Bible speaks, God speaks.In this message, you’ll learn:•  Why the Word of God is proven and powerful•  How Scripture and Jesus are inseparable•  Why the enemy fears a believer who knows the WordIf you need direction, strength, or a word from God, open your Bible. He is speaking.Like David, we come and declare, There is none like it. Give it to me.

Some battles cannot be won with strength, talent, or effort alone. They require a different weapon.In Judges 15, Samson defeats 1,000 enemies not with a sword or spear but with the unimpressive jawbone of a donkey. What looked weak became powerful in God’s hands. In this message, we discover how Samson’s jawbone is a powerful picture of fasting and spiritual warfare.Fasting is more than skipping meals. It is a spiritual discipline that humbles us, sharpens our hunger for God, and positions us for breakthrough. Just as the jawbone was meant for eating but became a weapon, fasting turns a physical discipline into a spiritual advantage.In this message, you’ll learn-  Why fasting is a humble weapon God uses to defeat strongholds-  Why some victories only come through prayer and fasting-  How fasting breaks bondage, restores closeness, and builds spiritual momentum-  How fasting impacts not only you but the next generation-  Why revival often comes after the battle, not beforeKey Scriptures-  Judges 15:14–19-  Matthew 6-  Isaiah 58

What does it really mean to worship wisely?In Matthew 2, the Wise Men show us that worship is not accidental—it’s intentional, costly, and rooted in wisdom. They didn’t allow distance, discomfort, or danger to keep them from encountering Jesus. Instead, they followed the leading of the Holy Spirit, searched the Scriptures, and responded with humble obedience.In this message, we learn that:• Wise worship seeks Jesus intentionally• Wise worship responds to divine direction• Wise worship brings God our very bestThe gifts they brought (gold, frankincense, and myrrh) weren’t random. They revealed who Jesus is: King, Holy, and Savior. True worship still requires that same understanding today.Our worship, our resources, and our lives belong to Him.Scripture References:• Matthew 2:1–11• Numbers 24:17• Micah 5:2• Philippians 3:12Be encouraged to approach God with wisdom, humility, and wholehearted worship—because when we bow before Him, we align our lives with His purpose.

Heart For The House is more than a moment — it’s a posture of the heart. Loving God means loving what He loves, and Scripture is clear: Jesus loves His Church.In this Heart For The House message, we’re challenged to examine how we love the Church and whether our commitment is rooted in convenience or sacrifice. Through the example of David, we see what it looks like to give with no strings attached — investing in a house of worship he would never personally benefit from, simply because he loved God and loved His house.In this message, you’ll discover:- How generosity reveals what we truly love- The danger of neglecting the Bride of Christ- How your giving builds something that will outlive youScriptures Referenced:- 1 Chronicles 29:1–5- Ephesians 5:25- Acts 9:4Heart For The House isn’t about equal gifts — it’s about equal sacrifice. When we give because we love Jesus and His Church, we become part of what God is building for generations to come.

When Jesus walks into a room, He can instantly see what’s out of place. In Matthew 21:10–13, He steps into the temple and recognizes that the people had lost what mattered most: prayer, purpose, and usefulness. What looked fine to everyone else was completely misaligned to the One who actually owns the house.This message challenges us to pause and ask:Am I being found useful in God’s house?Have things shifted in my life that He never intended to move?God isn’t looking for perfection, He’s looking for people who will be available, servant-hearted, and willing to be used. And even when we feel like “just dirt,” God specializes in taking what seems ordinary or overlooked and forming it into something with eternal value.In this message you’ll learn:- Uselessness is more dangerous than failure—God can forgive failure, but He can’t use what refuses to be used- Every gift, resource, and opportunity God gives is meant to bless others- God can take the “dirt” of our lives and turn it into a miracleScriptures:- Matthew 21:10-13 - Jesus cleanses the temple- Luke 10 — The Good Samaritan as a picture of true usefulness- John 8 & John 9 — God moving “dirt” to redeem, heal, and make lives useful again

What if the breakthrough you’re praying for doesn’t start “out there”… but starts in you?In this message, Pastor Luke DiBenedetto walks us through the book of Nehemiah: a nation in ruins, people defeated, walls burned to the ground, and shows us how one person’s burden sparked one of the greatest revivals in Scripture. Even after 131 years of devastation, God rebuilt what was broken in just 52 days. And that same God can revive what feels lost in your life today.Revival doesn’t begin with a crowd.It begins with a burden, a step of obedience, and a vision for what God can restore.In this message you’ll learn:- Why revival always begins with a burden for your family, home, church, and city- The power of saying “My part matters” and how God uses your obedience to build His house- How to fight for your family, future, and legacy with God given visionKey Scriptures:Nehemiah 4:1–2 NKJVNehemiah 2 NIVPsalm 84:4 NIVMatthew 6:21 NKJVLuke 6:38 NIVGalatians 6:7–9 NKJVRevival starts with me. Revival starts with you.

What makes a great friend—and what makes a great church?In life, the people around you will either lift you higher or hold you back. Paul knew this well. In his final letter, he listed his friends, his enemies, and everything he learned in between. He found gratitude even for the ones who left him—because they revealed the ones who would never leave.In this message, discover five qualities that define every great friendship and every strong church:1. They lift you up – they make you better just by being around them.2. They let you out – they see the potential in you and help you step into it.3. They let you in – they create a space where you belong.4. They level you out – they keep you grounded when life gets out of balance.5. They look you up – they remind you that your story isn’t over yet.Because real friends don’t just show up when it’s easy—they show up when you’re ready to give up. And the best kind of friend? The one who points you back to purpose.Scriptures Referenced:2 Timothy 4:9–22Acts 9:17–18Acts 9:30–31Acts 11:26True friends lift you, lead you, and love you enough to remind you—you’re not done yet.
