Grow with us as we venture together through the correctional words that Paul delivers to the church in Corinth! Speaker: Pastor Syndi ShoffSeries: WE ARE THE CHURCH Scripture: 1 Corinthians 10:23-11:1www.risechurchid.org
We live in a culture that celebrates freedom above almost everything else. We treasure our independence, our rights, and our ability to make our own choices. But what if the freedom we've been given as followers of Christ is meant for something far greater than simply doing whatever we want?__________Get more out of today's teaching by visiting our Church Online page for things like our community guide, a weekly devotional, and the teaching slides.

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/
“How to Avoid Making Christ of No Benefit to You” - a lesson on Christian Freedom: what it is, what it isn't, and why we must take a stand on the issue of justification through faith alone.

Galatians 2:1-10
In Galatians 5:13–15, Paul reminds believers that Christian freedom isn't a license for self-indulgence but a calling to love. Freedom from the burden of the law and the condemnation of sin, we're not released into selfish living but Spirit-empowered service. True freedom fulfills the righteousness the law demanded but could never produce! When we walk in love, we reflect the heart of God.
Paul Axton preaches: The theme of Mathew captured in Immanuel, is completed in the Lord's Supper, in which the efficacious presence of God is made to bear on the lives of believers in what Hegel calls "actualized Christian Freedom." There is freedom from the violence of blood spilled in the taking up of the blood of Christ in the life of believers. If you enjoyed this podcast, please consider donating to support our work.

How should Christians approach contraception and family planning?Unless a Christian couple has taken the time to investigate contraceptive and family planning options, it can be hard to know what exists, what is safe, and what is ethical. In part two of this two-part episode, we continue our conversation about how to honor God in our approach to family planning. We discuss the risks of hormonal birth control and respond to some additional listener questions about when to start having kids — and also whether it's OK to be done.Chapters:(0:00) Introductions: Resetting the Discussion(1:45) Fertility Awareness vs. Hormonal Birth Control(8:13) When Are You Ready to Have Kids?(17:30) Is It OK to Be Done Having Kids?(22:38) Christian Freedom in Family Planning

Today we're discussing the debate between feminists and non-feminists, and why I side with the non-feminists for biblical reasons. Just because women can do some of what men do doesn't mean we should. We'll also continue discussing the Charlie Kirk case, Erika Kirk's strange behavior, why being a widow doesn't automatically make you innocent, and why it's deeply concerning that TPUSA refuses to distance itself from Israel, even as Charlie's final words publicly challenged Israel, Judaism, and the control of figures like Ben Shapiro over the conservative movement.
What does true Christian freedom really mean? Dr. John Neufeld tackles 1 Corinthians 6:12-17, where the Corinthians claimed "all things are lawful for me." Paul doesn't reject freedom—he redefines it. Real freedom isn't doing whatever you want impulsively; it's the ability to choose deliberately what honors Christ. Your body isn't insignificant—it's designed for worship and part of God's eternal plan.The Gospel Alternative to the Cultures of Men: Being a Christian inevitably puts you in conflict with culture. In this three-week series, Dr. John Neufeld examines 1 Corinthians 5-7 to explore how the gospel creates a distinct counter-culture in the church. Addressing sexual purity, church discipline, and Christian identity, Dr. Neufeld challenges believers to live faithfully in a broken world—not by condemning culture, but by demonstrating Christ's transforming power through humble accountability, moral courage, and authentic community that offers hope to a watching world.
What does real freedom in Christ look like? In this message from Galatians 5:1-12, we explore how Jesus sets us free from the weight of legalism, guilt, and performance-based faith. Paul reminds us that freedom isn’t a license to do whatever we want. It’s the power to live in truth, grace, and love through the spirit.

The Eikon team examines the distinction between the freedom afforded by the gospel to those in Christ and the cultural concept of liberty.
