What does it take to lead a healthy church? In this standalone message from Titus 1:5-9, we explore the life and character of a shepherd — and why the health of a church is so deeply tied to the health of its leaders. The Apostle Paul's instructions to Titus aren't just a checklist for eldership; they're a picture of what it looks like when a man is genuinely formed by the gospel and submitted to Jesus, the Chief Shepherd. We'll see that healthy churches don't happen by accident — they're shaped by men who cling to the gospel, lead with integrity, and prove their character at home before they prove it anywhere else. Whether you're in church leadership, considering it, or simply want to understand what faithful shepherding looks like, this message offers a grounding and honest look at the calling, the character, and the cost of leading God's people well.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.orgConnect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!Instagram: @integrity_churchFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/liveintegrity/
Who actually builds the church — and what's our role in it? In this week's message from our "Welcomed." series, we dive into Acts 13:1-12 and the remarkable story of the church at Antioch becoming a launching pad for the gospel to the ends of the earth. The leadership team alone reads like an unlikely cast — a former church-ravager, a lifelong friend of a corrupt king, and men from across ethnic and cultural backgrounds — all brought together by the transforming power of the gospel. Jesus builds His church through gospel transformation, gospel mission, and gospel power. And in His grace, He builds it with people — changed people, people in teams, and people who are expectant and responsive to the Holy Spirit. Whether you're wondering where you fit, how to contribute, or what it even means to be the church, this message is a compelling invitation to show up, lean in, and trust that Jesus is doing something far bigger than any one of us. He could build it without us — but He's chosen not to.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.orgConnect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!Instagram: @integrity_churchFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/liveintegrity/
Life doesn't always feel like it's going according to plan — and for the earliest followers of Jesus in Acts 12, that was an understatement. James is killed. Peter is thrown in prison. Herod is winning. And yet, God is still sovereignly at work. In this week's message from our "Welcomed." series, we explore three powerful truths from Acts 12: God is sovereign when life feels like death, God is sovereign in His answers to prayer, and God is sovereign over every earthly authority and power. Whether you're in a season of waiting, grieving an unanswered prayer, or tempted to place your hope in political systems or human solutions, this message is an invitation to trust the One who is truly in charge. The welcome of Jesus doesn't promise a smooth ride — but it does promise that the God of the resurrection is still at work, even when we can't see it.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.orgConnect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!Instagram: @integrity_churchFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/liveintegrity/
What does it actually look like when the welcome of Jesus takes root in someone's life? In this week's message from Acts 11, we discover that the gospel doesn't just change what we believe — it changes who we are. As the early church spreads beyond Jerusalem into the multicultural city of Antioch, something remarkable happens: followers of Jesus start looking so much like Him that outsiders give them a brand new name — Christians. Through the lives of ordinary believers, unnamed evangelists, and a leader named Barnabas, we see four marks of a people transformed by Jesus: a passion for good news, integrated Christ-like leadership, dependence on the Holy Spirit, and radical generosity. If there are gaps between who you are and who Christ is calling you to be, this message will point you back to the one place real change begins — the surprising welcome of Jesus.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.orgConnect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!Instagram: @integrity_churchFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/liveintegrity/
What if the welcome of Jesus is far more surprising than you ever expected? In this week's message from Acts 10, we explore the remarkable story of Cornelius and Peter — two men from completely different worlds, both surprised by God in prayer. Through this encounter, we discover that God shows no partiality, that the gospel reshapes how we see and welcome others, and that being truly welcomed by Jesus leads us to worship. Whether you've been in church your whole life or you're just beginning to explore faith, this message will challenge you to see the welcome of Jesus with fresh eyes. Don't miss this powerful look at how the good news of Jesus breaks down every wall we build between ourselves and others.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.orgConnect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!Instagram: @integrity_churchFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/liveintegrity/
In Week 1 of our welcomed. series, we explore the powerful truth that our welcome is the welcome of Jesus. Looking at Acts 8:26–40, we see how the gospel breaks barriers and reaches the unlikely, reminding us that Jesus is still at work through His people.This message challenges us to reflect on how we engage with others: Are we reflecting the heart of Jesus in the way we welcome, love, and point people to Him? As the early church followed His example, depended on His power, and pointed to His salvation, we are invited into that same mission today.Whether you're exploring faith or have followed Jesus for years, this sermon calls us to embody a kind of welcome that is rooted not in ourselves—but in Christ.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.orgConnect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!Instagram: @integrity_churchFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/liveintegrity/
What does it mean to truly be alive? In 1 Corinthians 15:1–23, Paul anchors our faith in the historical reality of the resurrection of Jesus—and shows us why it changes everything.The resurrection is not just a moment we celebrate; it is the foundation of our hope and the source of our new life. Because Jesus has been raised, sin and death no longer have the final word. What was once dead is now alive, and those who are in Christ are invited into that same life—both now and forever.This Easter message reminds us that gospel people are not defined by death, defeat, or despair, but by the life, victory, and promise of the risen Jesus. In Him, we are made alive.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.orgConnect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!Instagram: @integrity_churchFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/liveintegrity/
What if repentance is actually a gift? In 2 Corinthians 7:2–16, Paul reveals the powerful difference between worldly sorrow and godly grief—and how true repentance leads not to shame, but to life.As the Corinthian church responds to correction, we see a beautiful picture of hearts that are softened, not hardened—grieved over sin, yet filled with joy as they turn back to God. Gospel people don't run from conviction; they embrace it, knowing that godly sorrow produces a repentance that leads to salvation without regret.This message invites us to reconsider how we view repentance—not as something to fear, but as a pathway to freedom, restoration, and deeper joy in Christ.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.orgConnect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!Instagram: @integrity_churchFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/liveintegrity/
This weekend, we took a look at 2 Corinthians 6:1–7:1, where Paul invites us into a kind of freedom that is deeper than cultural definitions or personal autonomy—a freedom rooted in the gospel and lived out with hearts wide open.This passage shows us that true Christian freedom isn't the absence of hardship, but the ability to endure honestly, live transparently, and remain anchored in Christ through every circumstance. As we receive God's Word and open our hearts to Him, we begin to experience the kind of freedom that reshapes our relationships, our affections, and our everyday lives.Paul calls us to live intentionally in light of our new identity in Christ—turning from anything that competes with the gospel and embracing the expansive, life-giving freedom found in Him.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.orgConnect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!Instagram: @integrity_churchFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/liveintegrity/
What happens when the gospel truly takes hold of a person's life? In 2 Corinthians 5:11–21, the apostle Paul shows us that the gospel doesn't simply improve us—it makes us new.Because of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, our deepest motivations are transformed, our identity is completely renewed, and our purpose in the world is redefined. The love of Christ begins to control our lives, freeing us from living for ourselves and calling us to live for the One who died and was raised for us.Through Christ, we are made into a new creation. The old has passed away, and the new has come. As people who have been reconciled to God, we are now entrusted with the message of reconciliation and sent into the world as ambassadors for Christ.This message explores how the gospel reshapes our motivations, gives us a new identity in Christ, and calls us into a mission to proclaim God's reconciling grace to the world.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

What does eternity have to do with your life right now? In 2 Corinthians 5:1–10, the apostle Paul shows us that the Christian hope is not an escape from this world, but a vision that reshapes how we live today.Though our present lives may feel fragile, temporary, or filled with groaning, God has prepared something greater—a resurrected life where what is mortal is swallowed up by life. Through the gift of the Holy Spirit, we already have a guarantee of the future God has promised.Because of this hope, we can live with courage, walk by faith, and pursue lives that please Christ. Our hope for tomorrow gives meaning to our obedience, endurance, and purpose today as we await the fullness of life with Him.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

In 2 Corinthians 4:7–18, Paul reminds us that the treasure of the gospel has been placed in fragile jars of clay. Our weakness is not an accident or a liability in God's plan—it is the very stage on which His strength is displayed.As we live between the process and the promise, we often feel unfinished, fragile, and worn down. Yet Paul shows us that affliction is not the end of the story. The same God who raised Jesus from the dead is renewing us day by day and preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison.In this message, we discover two life-giving implications: we can be honest in the process, and Jesus is good reason to endure in the process. Our weakness does not disqualify us—it magnifies the surpassing power of God.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

In 2 Corinthians 4:1–6, the apostle Paul reminds us that the gospel is not a clever argument or a well-marketed ideology—it is a true and better story. A story where light breaks into darkness. A story where mercy triumphs over performance. A story where Jesus, not ourselves, is proclaimed as Lord.In a world full of competing narratives—political, cultural, and personal—Paul calls us back to the only story that can truly save. The gospel is true because it is rooted in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. The gospel is better because it brings light to blinded hearts and hope where darkness once reigned.As gospel people, we do not lose heart. We boldly lift up Christ, trusting that the God who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” is still shining in hearts today.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

What are you gazing at—and what are you only glancing at? In 2 Corinthians 3:1–18, Paul shows us how real change happens: not through self-effort, religious performance, or trying to prove ourselves, but through beholding the glory of God with an unveiled face. In Jesus, the veil is removed and we come face to face with God, and that encounter transforms us from one degree of glory to another. This message explores how the face of God gives us hope, boldness, and freedom as we live under the New Covenant of the Spirit.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

In Week 4 of Gospel People, we step into one of the most defining (and hardest) marks of Christian community: forgiveness. From 2 Corinthians 1:12–2:4, Paul shows us that gospel-shaped relationships don't avoid conflict, pretend pain isn't real, or retreat into bitterness. Instead, forgiveness brings us face to face—with each other, with the reality of sin, and with the grace of Jesus. We'll see how forgiveness outwits Satan's schemes to isolate and divide, and how it makes the church smell like Jesus to a world that's desperate for something better than condemnation or avoidance.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

In this message from Gospel People, Paul opens his heart to the Corinthian church and shows us how deeply our relationships with others are shaped by our relationship with God. From integrity and sincerity to love and pastoral care, Paul's words remind us that gospel-centered living transforms how we speak, how we lead, and how we love. When our consciences are anchored in God's grace, our relationships can be marked by honesty, humility, and sacrificial care—even when things are hard.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

Suffering is universal, but for the Christian, suffering is never meaningless. In Week 2 of Gospel People, we walk through 2 Corinthians 1:1–11 to see how the gospel reshapes the way we experience hardship. The Apostle Paul shows us that Gospel People suffer different, not because the pain is less real, but because God meets us in our affliction with comfort, purpose, and unshakable hope. As God comforts us in our trials, He also equips us to comfort others, forming a community shaped by trust in His promises and faithfulness in every season.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

In Week 1 of the Gospel People series, we begin by exploring the heart of Gospel culture through the blessing found in Numbers 6:22–27. This message reminds us that Gospel culture is what we are after—and joy sits at its very center. Biblical joy is more than a feeling; it is the assurance that God is glad to be with His people. For weary sinners, this is exactly what we experience when we encounter the face of Jesus: welcome, grace, and deep, soul-level joy. This sermon sets the foundation for a community shaped by the Gospel and marked by joy in the presence of God.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

As we begin a new year at Integrity Church, this standalone message calls us to start with the right foundation. From Luke 14:25–33, Mature and Multiply challenges us to honestly examine who—or what—has preeminence in our lives. Jesus makes it clear that following Him is not about adding Him to our schedules or priorities, but about surrendering everything to Him. This sermon invites us to count the cost of discipleship, reject half-hearted faith, and embrace a life where Jesus is not merely part of our lives, but our life. As we look ahead to a new year, this message sets the tone for growing in spiritual maturity and multiplying our lives for God's mission.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

In Week 3 of In The Neighborhood, we turn to Jesus' final words in Matthew 28:16–20 and see that Christmas is a story of mission. The God who came near in Christ now sends His people out with purpose.Jesus' promise to be with us always transforms the way we understand the Great Commission—not as a burden, but as a continuation of the Christmas story. Because God came to us, we now go to others, carrying the good news of His presence into our neighborhoods, workplaces, and everyday relationships.This message challenges us to see mission not as something distant or optional, but as a natural response to the God who is with us.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

In Week 2 of In The Neighborhood, we look at Jesus' teaching in Matthew 18:15–20 about how His people are called to deal with conflict. The main idea of this message is clear and hopeful: Jesus is God with us together.Rather than ignoring hurt or allowing division to grow, Jesus gives His church a path toward honesty, repentance, forgiveness, and restoration. And He promises that when we pursue unity in His way, He is present with us.This episode explores how Christian community is strengthened not by avoiding conflict, but by bringing it into the light—because Jesus meets us there.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

In Week 1 of our new series In The Neighborhood, we look at the miraculous announcement of Jesus' birth in Matthew 1:18–25. This message centers on the truth that in Jesus, God makes His home with us.Through the name Immanuel, meaning “God with us,” we discover that God doesn't keep His distance—He steps into our world, our struggles, our stories. This episode invites you to consider what it means that God draws near, not abstractly, but personally, in Christ.Listen in as we explore how Jesus' arrival changes the way we see God, ourselves, and the people around us.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

In Week 13 of our Everyday Mission series, we explore how God often calls us into moments that stretch our faith further than is comfortable. Acts 9:1–31 shows us a powerful picture of what it looks like to trust God beyond our limits — both in Saul's dramatic transformation and in Ananias' willingness to obey even when the path seemed risky. This episode invites you to consider where God may be asking you to step out, depend on Him, and participate in His mission in ways you never imagined.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

In Week 12 of our Everyday Mission series, we look at the powerful encounter between Philip and the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8:26–40.This message unpacks how God sovereignly sends His people, Jesus alone saves, and we respond in faith and obedience From divine appointments to gospel conversations, this passage shows that everyday mission is God's work — and we are invited into it. Listen as Pastor Matt reminds us that the good news of Jesus is personal, powerful, and always worth a response.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

Acts 8:9–25 contrasts the gospel of the Kingdom with the transactional mindset of Simon the Magician. As Philip proclaims Christ, the people of Samaria rejoice—yet Simon approaches the gospel like something to buy, control, or use for personal gain. This passage exposes how easily we can slip into treating ministry like a product and people like customers. But everyday mission is not a sales pitch; it's an announcement of a King and a Kingdom. Peter's rebuke reminds us that the Spirit cannot be purchased, manipulated, or branded. The mission belongs to Jesus, the true King, and we are simply witnesses who proclaim His reign. When the gospel is rightly understood, it leads not to control but to repentance, surrender, and joyful obedience.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

In this message from Everyday Mission, we watch the church scatter under persecution and discover that this isn't a setback at all — it's the strategy of God. In Acts 8:1–8, the Holy Spirit moves Jesus' mission forward through everyday people and sends them to overlooked people, fulfilling the promise Jesus made in Acts 1:8. Philip, an ordinary servant, becomes a bold witness in Samaria, showing that the mission doesn't advance through the elite but through Spirit-filled believers willing to speak about the work of Christ in their own lives. God uses ordinary people to bring extraordinary joy to unexpected places.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

In this powerful message from Everyday Mission, we look at the life and death of Stephen in Acts 6:8–7:60 and see what it truly means to live on mission for Jesus. Stephen's courage, conviction, and compassion weren't fueled by self-confidence—but by being emptied of self and filled with the Holy Spirit. His bold witness before opposition and his forgiveness in the face of death point us to Jesus, the One who empowers us to live and love beyond our own strength. Everyday mission isn't about being impressive—it's about being available for the Spirit to work through us.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

In this special message from Everyday Mission, guest speaker Daniel Dixon unpacks why we multiply as followers of Jesus. From the Great Commission in Matthew 28:18–20, we're reminded that multiplication isn't just a church growth strategy—it's the heartbeat of God's mission. We multiply because the gospel is important, people are important, and God is important. When we grasp the weight of His authority and the beauty of His presence, we're compelled to share His love and make disciples everywhere.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

In this message from Everyday Mission, we look at Acts 6:1–7 and discover that the gospel doesn't just call us to extraordinary acts—it extraordinarily empowers us to live as ordinary servants. As the early church grows, a practical problem becomes an opportunity for Spirit-filled service. Through humility, wisdom, and grace, the apostles and the newly appointed servants display that God's mission advances when His people serve faithfully in everyday ways. True gospel power is not about platform or recognition—it's about Spirit-empowered service that meets real needs and points others to Jesus.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

In this week's message from Everyday Mission, we see how the gospel transforms not just our actions, but our motivations. Acts 5:12–42 contrasts the hearts of the early believers—marked by brokenness, joy, and fear of God—with the religious leaders driven by power, rage, and fear of man. Through persecution, miracles, and bold preaching, the apostles show that when the gospel truly grips our hearts, we live not for approval or control, but for the glory of Christ. The gospel changes why we do what we do.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

In this week's message from Everyday Mission, we see two sides of the early church—radical generosity and sobering deceit. In Acts 4:32–5:11, the Holy Spirit empowers a community marked by grace, unity, and dependence on God, while also revealing the danger of hypocrisy and self-promotion. The gospel calls us to live open-handed lives, trusting that everything we have belongs to Him. When God's Spirit transforms our hearts, generosity becomes more than giving—it becomes worship.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.orgConnect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!Instagram: @integrity_churchFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/liveintegrity/For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

In Acts 4:1–22, Peter and John face opposition for proclaiming the resurrection of Jesus. Yet even in the midst of threats and imprisonment, the gospel continues to advance. This passage reminds us that everyday mission is both God's work and our witness: growth and opposition can happen at the same time, effective witness is empowered by the Holy Spirit, and resistance to the gospel often stems from a desire to hold on to power.We are called to courage—not in our own strength, but in the Spirit's power. The same Jesus who builds His church then is building His church now. Our mission is not to rely on cleverness or comfort, but to boldly proclaim the name of Jesus, trusting that He will make His mission effective through us.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

When Peter and John were confronted by religious leaders in Acts 4:1–22, their courage didn't come from their own strength but from the Spirit of God. Even under threat and opposition, they boldly declared that salvation is found in no one else but Jesus. Their confidence came not from education, influence, or status—but from being with Christ.This passage challenges us to live out our everyday mission with the same boldness. The gospel will face resistance, but the Spirit empowers ordinary people to speak truth with courage and grace. As we follow Jesus, we're called to stand firm in our faith, trusting that God's presence and power are greater than any opposition we face.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

After the healing of the lame man, the crowd rushes to Peter and John in awe—but Peter redirects their attention to Jesus, the Author of life. In Acts 3:11–26, we see the gospel proclaimed clearly: the same Jesus who was rejected and crucified has been raised and glorified, and through Him comes forgiveness, restoration, and new life.Peter's message reminds us that our everyday mission is not about pointing people to ourselves, but about pointing them to Christ. Repentance brings refreshment, and turning to Him brings complete restoration. Just as the healed beggar's life was transformed, we are called to bear witness to the transforming power of Jesus in a world longing for hope.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

What unites us as followers of Jesus goes far deeper than shared interests or backgrounds—it is the reconciling power of Christ. In this message from Acts 3:1–10, we're reminded that through the cross, the walls of division have been torn down and a new family has been created. No longer strangers or outsiders, we are fellow citizens of God's kingdom and members of His household.This unity isn't surface-level; it's built on the humility and sacrifice of Christ, who brings near those once far away. As God's people, we are called to embody this radical welcome—loving, serving, and carrying one another's burdens as a living temple of the Holy Spirit. Discover what it means to step into our everyday mission as a church marked by reconciliation, unity, and love.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

The single greatest unifying factor for all believers is faith in Christ, which surpasses every other connection or identity we might have. No matter our backgrounds, preferences, or histories, it is only through Jesus that we are brought together as one people, breaking down every dividing wall that once separated us. This unity is not based on our own achievements or similarities, but on the finished work of Christ, who purchased us by His blood and calls us to live in humility and love toward one another. Let us remember that our unity is a gift from God, rooted in the cross, and let it shape the way we see and treat each other in the church.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

What does it mean to work—and to rest—in light of God's work? Psalm 127 reminds us that unless the Lord builds, our labor is in vain. In our last week of Songs for the Road, we explore how God's work always comes first, how His work gives meaning to ours, and how His finished work in Christ invites us into real rest. Whether in our homes, our jobs, or our churches, we are called to see every part of life as shaped by God's hands. His work changes how we work—and how we trust Him with the results.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

Joy is not something we manufacture—it's a gift from God. In Psalm 126, the pilgrims sing of God's past restoration and pray with hope for more, reminding us that joy flows from God's faithfulness yesterday and His promises for tomorrow. In this sermon, we reflect on what it means to be people who dream again, who sow even through tears, and who reap with songs of joy. No matter the season, we are invited to walk as a community marked by joy, laughter, and hope in Christ.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

In Psalm 125, we are reminded that the believer's security is not built on our fragile grip on God, but on His unbreakable hold on us. Surrounded by His presence, shielded by His promises, and shaped by His purposes, we can stand firm even when life feels uncertain. This message calls us to trust the One who determines the end from the beginning, knowing that evil will not have the last word—God will.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

This weekend we continued our series, Songs for the Road, exploring Psalm 124—a song that invites us to look back and remember: What if God hadn't been on our side? Together, we reflect on how God's faithfulness fuels our faith, why we need to share stories of His protection, and how the truest expression of His deliverance is seen in Jesus. Whether you're walking through a storm or standing on the other side of one, this ancient pilgrim song reminds us that our help has always been—and still is—in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

In this week's message from our Songs For the Road series, we explore Psalm 123 and discover that pilgrim prayers are honest prayers. Together, we look at what it means to be honest about our pain, God's authority, and God's character—and why bringing our unpolished, real selves before God matters. Join us as we learn to lift our eyes beyond contempt and hurt, trusting in His mercy and walking honestly with Him and each other.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

In Week 3 of Songs For the Road, guest speaker Jason Workman leads us through Psalm 122—a song of gladness and longing for the gathered people of God. As pilgrims ascending to Jerusalem, God's people were reminded that worship isn't just about a place; it's about being built together into a spiritual home. From the earthly Jerusalem to the new Jerusalem, and from the temple built with stones to the temple of God's Spirit within us, we are invited to seek peace, unity, and the good of God's household. This message calls us to love the real church more than our ideal of it, and to look forward to the day when God makes all things new.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

In Week 2 of Songs For the Road, guest speaker Wade Parker guides us through Psalm 121—a song for weary travelers reminding us where our true help comes from. This message points us to the God who never sleeps, never leaves, and never stops keeping us. From the heights of creation to the details of our daily walk, He is our keeper, protector, and constant companion on the journey. No matter where the road leads, we are held by Jesus, the One who is full of grace.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

We begin our summer series Songs For the Road with Psalm 120—the first of the Psalms of Ascent. This raw, honest song reminds us that the road of discipleship doesn't always start with joy; sometimes it begins in distress. Pastor Matt unpacks this pilgrim prayer that cries out for justice and longs for home. And in that place of desperation, the good news rings true: God answers. He hears us, He moves toward us, and His answer—then and now—is Jesus.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

In the final week of The Unloved, Pastor Matt takes us into Jonah 4, where the story turns inward—into Jonah's heart, and into our own. After a city-wide revival, Jonah is furious, not joyful, and God meets him with unexpected patience. Through a plant, a worm, and a scorching wind, God holds up a mirror to Jonah's anger, self-righteousness, and misplaced affections. The truth? God helps us see ourselves clearly so that we can see Him clearly. This raw, unfinished ending invites us to confront our own hearts and encounter the grace of the God who moves toward us even before we're right.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

In Week 4 of The Unloved, Pastor Matt walks us through Jonah 3, where we see the ripple effects of repentance across an entire city. Sin has immediate impact and long-term consequences—but the grace of God meets us in the middle of our rebellion with an invitation to turn. In Nineveh, even imperfect obedience from a reluctant prophet leads to radical transformation. Through Jonah's flawed witness, we're reminded that repentance isn't just regret—it's turning toward life. In a world shaped by distorted contexts and broken systems, the gospel breaks in with hope, power, and new direction.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

In Week 3 of The Unloved, Pastor Matt takes us into the belly of the fish—Jonah's lowest moment—to reveal a surprising truth: there is good news at the bottom. As Jonah cries out from the depths, we're reminded that God hears us in the worst places and saves us to the best place—His presence. Through raw prayer, deep repentance, and surprising mercy, Jonah discovers what we all long to know: we are never beyond the reach of God's love. Even in our darkest places, Jesus is there, offering grace, hope, and rescue.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

In Week 2 of The Unloved, Pastor Matt leads us deeper into the storm in Jonah 1:7-16, where we see how God's love is at work even in chaos. As Jonah's disordered worship spills over into the lives of unsuspecting sailors, we see that idolatry distorts love—and only God's love can reorder it. Through a powerful comparison between Jonah and Jesus, we're reminded that Jesus is the true and better prophet, who enters the storm to save us. From the bottom of the boat to the raging sea, God's love pursues, disrupts, and ultimately transforms.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

In Week 1 of our new series The Unloved, we begin our journey through Jonah with a powerful truth: God's love relentlessly pursues those we often overlook—those who are wicked, indifferent, or self-righteous. Through Jonah's resistance and God's call to Nineveh, we're confronted with the uncomfortable and beautiful reality that no one is beyond the reach of God's mercy. Pastor Matt invites us to see ourselves in this story and to respond to the God who pursues even the hardest hearts with transforming grace.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

In Week 5 of our From Here On... series, we look at Peter's bold sermon in Acts 2:14–41 and see how the heart of the gospel—and the heart of our lives—is Jesus. From prophecy to resurrection, from grace to power, Peter proclaims that Jesus is the fulfillment of God's promises and the center of our hope. Drawing from passages like 1 Corinthians 15 and Isaiah 53, Pastor Matt reminds us that Jesus isn't just part of the story—He is the story. From here on, it's all about Jesus.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

In Week 4 of our From Here On... series, we step into the powerful moment of Pentecost in Acts 2:1–13. This pivotal event marks not only the birth of the Church but the unleashing of God's mission to the nations—fueled by the power of the Holy Spirit. As we see in scripture and from voices like NT Wright, Sam Storms, and John Piper, the purpose of mission is worship: to see all peoples rejoice in the greatness of God. Pastor Matt reminds us that from here on, we are called to Spirit-empowered witness that invites the world into the transforming joy of God's glory.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!
