What does Pentecost teach us about being the church today? In this message, Pastor Dom Bronico explores the connection between the Tower of Babel and Pentecost, showing how the arrival of the Holy Spirit sends the church beyond the walls of a building and out into the world. Through Acts 2 and Genesis 11, we see that God's vision for the church is not sameness, comfort, or simply gathering in one place. Instead, the Spirit empowers God's people to go into neighborhoods, schools, workplaces, hospitals, coffee shops, and communities as living witnesses of Jesus. Pastor Dom reminds us that the church is not just a place we attend on Sundays. The church is a people sent by God, filled with the Holy Spirit, and called to embody the diverse, growing, multi-faceted Kingdom of Heaven. Key Scripture: Acts 2, Genesis 11 Speaker: Pastor Dom Bronico Topic: Pentecost, Holy Spirit, Church Mission, Evangelism, Babel, Great Commission In this message: What Pentecost means for the church today How Pentecost reverses the story of Babel Why the Holy Spirit sends us out into the world How Christians can live as “miniature temples” wherever they go What it means to serve, share Jesus, and be present in our communities The arrival of the Holy Spirit means the church is called to go—not just into a building on Sundays, but out into the world with the love and presence of Jesus. #Pentecost #HolySpirit #Acts2 #TowerOfBabel #ChurchMission #GraceChapel #PastorDomBronico #ChristianMessage #GreatCommission #Jesus

What does it look like for the church to mirror heaven today—strong in truth yet radically open to all? Could the balance between firm biblical foundations and an always-open invitation be the missing link in the church's mission?

Are Big Money BYU Sports Compatible with LDS Church Mission? Dr. Matthew Bowman, co-author of “Game Changers,” zeroes in on the ultimate tension in modern collegiate sports: can you balance God, Mammon, and big money athletics? As BYU integrates into the lucrative Big 12 conference, the historic values of amateurism are directly clashing with the pursuit of NBA stardom. https://youtu.be/SZssRvBGiCM Gospel Tangents NEWSLETTER: https://gospeltangents.com/newsletter Don't miss our other discussions with Matthew. https://gospeltangents.com/people/matthew-bowman Copyright © 2026 Gospel Tangents All Rights Reserved The Kevin Young Factor While millions of dollars and family-friendly environments played a huge role in landing top recruit AJ Dybantsa, his third reason for choosing BYU was head coach Kevin Young. Young left a highly promising coaching career in the NBA to come to Provo, bringing invaluable professional connections with him. During a recruiting pitch, Young even pulled out his phone, called NBA superstar Kevin Durant—whom he coached in Phoenix—and handed the phone directly to Dybantsa. Young is explicitly selling recruits on his ability to get them to the NBA, cementing college sports as a professional stepping stone. Cautionary Tale of Jimmer Fredette Matt contrasts this new era of “one-and-done” recruits with the legacy of Jimmer Fredette. Bowman describes Fredette as a player built for the traditional amateur college game who was unfairly pushed into the modern “massive media industrial complex” that demands individual celebrity. Unlike Danny Ainge, who thrived by fitting into a cooperative team system and sharing the ball, Fredette was forced to carry the entire team on his back. This intense pressure to be a singular, massive celebrity ultimately did him a disservice when he reached the NBA, making him a cautionary tale of how modern sports media can chew players up. God vs. Mammon on the Hardwood: Is this massive influx of money compatible with BYU’s mission? Bowman argues there is no easy answer. On one hand, church leaders like Henry Eyring have previously expressed that a successful football team acts as a powerful missionary tool. On the other hand, the millions of dollars involved shift the focus away from the character-building, cooperative origins of the sport. Today, the game is increasingly about individual stardom and financial gain, causing significant tension with the university’s spiritual goals. Will BYU Ever Drop Athletics? Given this tension, a popular rumor suggests that future church leaders might eventually eliminate BYU’s sports programs entirely, mirroring the decision made years ago to drop athletics at Ricks College (now BYU-Idaho). However, Bowman believes this is highly unlikely. The financial momentum of BYU athletics is simply too powerful to stop. Between Big 12 television money and the sheer influence of massive donor groups—BYU’s NIL collective, the “Royal Blue,” is reportedly the second-largest in the country behind Kentucky—eliminating the sports programs would result in intense backlash from wealthy boosters.

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/

Keeping us down is impossible because we're UNSTOPPABLE with the gospel. In this message, Pastor Andy will talk about the early church's mission report given by Luke as seen in Acts 16:11-18.
In this message from Ephesians 4:7–16, Pastor Jim explains how Jesus, the victorious and ascended King, gives gifts to his people so that the church can grow into maturity. After defeating the powers of sin and death through his life, death, and resurrection, Jim shows how Christ now distributes grace to the church through leaders who proclaim and clarify the gospel, equipping believers for works of service. The goal is not spectatorship but participation as every follower of Jesus grows beyond spiritual infancy and begins to serve as part of the body of Christ. Jim challenges listeners to move beyond gathering information about faith and instead allow the gospel to shape identity, produce transformation, and lead to active ministry in everyday life. As the church builds one another up in truth and love, believers grow toward unity, deeper knowledge of Jesus, and the fullness of maturity that reflects Christ to the world.

Pro Football Hall of Fame FieldAugust 2, 2014AENEAS WILLIAMS: I'll just take a moment to soak this all in. The moment to be here, and I will start out by telling you this, how in the world do you go from walking on your junior year a week before the season starts, your junior year at the Southern University, that's right, Ohio State, it's the Southern University. There are so many people that I could thank, teammates, coaches, mentors. There will be some I'll call, but some I just want to right now up front say thank you so much to every teammate at Arizona and every teammate in St. Louis. I could not and wouldn't be here without you. But as I sought this journey, and I don't want to sound morbid or anything like that, I want to tell you something, this is an intentional journey. I am No. 287 and because my name is the last name Williams, I am the last one in my induction class, but I also want to say thank you to the 32 owners, Roger Goodell, DeMaurice Smith of the Players Association, and here's why, because tough decisions have to be made that are unpopular, but the success and promotion and enjoyment of this game with the fans is because of the important decisions that are made that allow us to be here and celebrate with you the fans and all of these great Hall of Famers that I get an opportunity to sit up here with. I've got two statements, if you don't remember anything I say. Two statements if you don't remember anything else I say. Begin with the end in mind and die empty. Begin with the end in mind and die empty. So let me tell you about this journey. It all starts at home. And I wouldn't be and could not be without the foundation. See I've heard a lot of speeches, I've listened to them, believe me. But I want to tell you it starts with Lawrence and Lillian Williams in New Orleans, Louisiana. Mom and Dad, I need you all to stand up. Dad is up here as a presenter, my mother is seated there. Now these Hall of Famers and all, they've all been voting on who is going to cry. Now you know that two of the guys, my first two haven't cried. Now I'm going to cry. I'll be you up front, I'll give you notice. I think it was General Schwarzkopf, in an interview with Barbara Walters, and Barbara Walters said, “a big general like you, are you going to cry? General Schwarzkopf said I'm afraid of a man that won't cry.” To the dais with the induction, being in an induction class with the first punter. I've been seeing all these guys that lift their legs for a living around Canton, Ray Guy. Also to be in an induction class with three from the Historical Black Colleges.

I love this topic. I've not found anyone else who talks about it. We've all met missions junkies. You probably have at least one in your church. They are people who love to talk about missions, love it when people pay for them to go "do" missions (but only short-term). They don't have the focus and intensity to become a long-term missionary. It's about THEIR experience, THEIR selfies, THEIR "calling" to be an encourager of missions and missionaries, but never a long-term do-er of missions. What can we do with missions junkies? Let's turn their direction into something really useful for the church.
Many churches struggle with community ministry that feels disconnected from making disciples. In this episode, we break down how adoption and foster care ministry serves as a powerful evangelistic tool—not just a "feel good" initiative. From reaching biological parents to discipling children in Christian homes, Pastor Andrew and Pastor Landon share practical insights from helping 200+ families engage in foster care and adoption. Plus: why knowing your church's unique gifts matters more than copying another church's model. Perfect for pastors wanting mission-aligned community impact.Chosen Book: andrewphopper.com/chosen

Visiting your missionary on the field is one of the sweetest blessings as a church leader. You get to see them in context, feel, hear, smell, taste, and touch their world. Yet it is also an earnest endeavor to shepherd them well, even to delve into the hard things in their life. Plan well. Let them know that your visit is not as a tourist, not as a dignitary or featured guest, but simply as a shepherd wanting to care for them. This episode will help you sort of the issues.

Does your pastor adequately prioritize missions at your church? In this episode of The Missions Podcast, Alex interviews Matthew Ellison and Denny Spitters from 1615 Missions Coaching about their new book, The Sending Shepherd: Leading Churches to Disciple All Nations. Drawing from a Barna study, the conversation centers on the vital role of church leadership in global missions. They argue that effective mobilization starts with senior pastors embracing a “sending shepherd” mindset—reintegrating God's global purpose into preaching, discipleship, and church culture rather than treating missions as an optional program. They encourage pastors to see missions not as one ministry among many, but as the core narrative of Scripture shaping every believer's role in God's redemptive story. The discussion closes with success stories of integrating missions into the church, practical encouragement for pastors, and a reminder that mobilizing for the Great Commission is both essential for the world and for the church's spiritual health. Key Topics Findings from the Barna “U.S. Pastors and Missions Survey” The problem of “when everything is missions, nothing is missions” Leadership's critical role in shaping global vision (Antioch model from Acts 13) The difference between marginalizing missions and integrating it into the church's DNA Importance of defining and distinguishing evangelism, outreach, and missions Do you love The Missions Podcast?

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!

Special guest, John Easter shares the Word and his heart for the sending movement of world missions and the critical infrastructure of the local church.
If you have been in the church long, you have probably seen man different examples of missions. There is a tension involved in the planning, operation, and philosophy of every mission objective. Join us in this new series as we take an in depth look at Church Missions and Individual Missions.
Churches, including the missions ministries, tend to evaluate themselves based on metrics from previous years. The same metrics, without reference to an external objective benchmark. Sound familiar? The Church Missions Profile is your ticket to clearer standards. Visit SendForward.org and click on the Church Missions Profile link to learn more. The episode replays and overview of the first three categories (out of 12) in the CMP: church leaders, missions team, and indvidual participation.
In Mark 16:15, Jesus tells His disciples to "Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation." While you may not be able to physically go yourself, there are other ways to get involved.
