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 the final message of our Christmas series The God Who Comes Close, Ps Dan explores one of the most challenging truths of the Christmas story: there was no room at the inn.Many people aren't rejecting Jesus — they're just busy, distracted, and full. From Luke 2 and Matthew 2, this message invites us to slow down, clear space, and allow Jesus to reorder our priorities, our worship, and our direction.In this message we explore:• Why crowded hearts often miss divine moments• How worship requires surrender and costly obedience• Why real encounters with Jesus always change our direction• What it looks like to make room for the King in everyday lifeThis is a timely and honest invitation to pause, reflect, and respond — not just at Christmas, but as a way of life.

From Luke 1:67–75, when we're inspired and filled by the Spirit, we praise God and help others to do the same.

What if the quiet ache beneath your busyness, stress, and exhaustion is really a longing for joy? Not hype. Not fleeting happiness. But a joy that lasts, even when life feels heavy.In this Advent message, we explore how Christmas doesn't give us instructions to find joy, but an announcement that joy has come. From Luke 2 and Romans 15, we're reminded that joy isn't something we achieve through better circumstances or stronger emotions. It's something we receive when we remember what's already true in Christ.If you're tired of joy that fades, weary from trying to manufacture excitement, or longing for a joy that doesn't require you to perform, this message is for you. Discover how true joy grows as we trust the good news: you are fully forgiven, deeply loved, completely secure, and never alone...because the Savior has come.DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:Where do you most notice joy fading in your everyday life?Which of the “indicators” stood out to you the most, and why do you think that one hit close to home? (Celebrations not sticking, emptiness after getting what you wanted, exhaustion from manufacturing excitement, nostalgia, or performance pressure.)How have you typically thought about joy before this message? More connected to circumstances, feelings, or something fragile?Which gospel truth feels hardest for you to trust right now? (Fully forgiven, united with Christ, deeply loved, secure, or complete. What makes that one challenging to believe?)What might it look like for you this week to “watch the video” and remember what is already true?+ + + + +Hey, while you're here, please help Generation by clicking the 'Subscribe' button, then click on the BELL

From Luke 2:8-20

This week's Advent teaching explores Mary's Magnificat and the kind of love God reveals through the coming of Jesus. In a moment of vulnerability and uncertainty, Mary responds with worship, pointing us to a love that is not sentimental but deeply personal and active. From Luke 1, we see that God's love notices the overlooked, […] The post Advent Week 3: Luke 1:46-55 – The Love that Sees, Saves, and Sustains appeared first on Sierra Bible Church.

From Luke 1:46–56, let's learn from Mary to be people who recognise how richly we've been blessed, so that our lives overflow with worship.

From Luke 2:1-20, Tim explores what the sound of Christmas is, and how it impacts our lives. If you prayed the prayer at the end of the talk, or are interested in finding out more, let us know by going to: kxc.org.uk/contact We’d love to hear from you!

From Luke's account,, the crowds in Bethlehem as well as the innkeeper, appeared too busy to notice the significance of the birth of Jesus. How busy are you this Christmas Season? Pastor Darren urges us to slow down, make room for Jesus, and share Him with others.

From Luke 1:39–45, we see that the Holy Spirit's work produces praise, joy, and encouragement - the fruit of God's presence overflowing to bless others.

What happens when heaven interrupts the ordinary?In this message from our Christmas series The God Who Comes Close, Ps Dan unpacks the powerful moment when God reveals His glory not to kings or priests — but to shepherds working the night shift.From Luke 2:8–20, we're reminded that:• God often breaks into the most unexpected places• His presence replaces fear with courage• Real encounters with Jesus always lead to transformation and testimonyThis message is for anyone who feels overlooked, stuck in routine, or wrestling with fear.

From Luke 2:36 - 38, discover how God values perseverance, worship, and gratitude, and how He uses overlooked lives to proclaim His redemption.Key Themes

Joel Munoz encouraged us with Matthew 7:24 and Hebrews 12:28–29, reminding us to stand on the Rock and be thankful for the unshakable kingdom we've received. Pastor Josiah's message, “In God We Trust,” pointed us back to the heart behind our national motto and to whom our trust truly belongs. From Luke 16, Jesus' parable of the shrewd manager illustrated how our handling of worldly possessions reveals the condition of our hearts. Pastor Josiah reminded us that tests from God are not traps but opportunities for revelation and growth—He sees everything and still loves us. We must choose who our master will be, for no one can serve both God and money. Our money can serve God, but God will never serve money. True trust in Him brings freedom, blessing, and an eternal perspective. When we prioritize Jesus above all, we become salt and light in a world that desperately needs His truth and grace.

Jesus didn’t just come to teach us or inspire us; He came to reconcile us to God. In this Advent episode, Nicole explores Hark! The Herald Angels Sing—one of the most beloved Christmas hymns—and reveals how richly it is woven with Scripture. With more than 34 direct biblical references, Charles Wesley’s hymn is far more than a seasonal melody; it is a sweeping declaration of the Gospel. Nicole walks listeners through the incarnation, reconciliation, new birth, and the cosmic hope that Jesus brings. From Luke 2’s angelic announcement to Romans 5’s explanation of reconciliation, this episode unpacks why this hymn is actually a lyrical theology lesson celebrating Christ’s mission to redeem humanity. Main Takeaways: Why this Christmas hymn is actually a full retelling of the Gospel message How Luke 2 connects to the angels’ proclamation of peace and joy What “God and sinners reconciled” truly means according to Romans 5 The significance of Christ “laying His glory by” and becoming fully God and fully man Why being “born again” is the heart of the Christmas message How Jesus brings spiritual life that cannot die—even when our physical bodies do

From Luke 1:26-38 we see the Unexpected King and the Unstoppable God.

You can be taught the truth and yet not be certain of it. And you can be a Christian and still have doubts from time to time. These are two important realities concerning our walk with Jesus. In this message, Pastor Rick Anderson shows how God has chosen to help us with these difficulties. From Luke 1:1-4 we get massive insights into God's own remedy to these common, pesky, and serious problems.

From Luke 21:5-19 Fr. Greg encourages us to keep our faith not because pain isn't real, not because the cost isn't high, but cling to it because our victory has already been won in Christ Jesus.

Here's a sobering truth from Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth: it's possible to know your Bible inside and out but still miss Jesus. From Luke 24, Nancy reminds you of your need for the Spirit to open your eyes and help you behold Him.

In this message, Pastor Matt Brown closes out The Peace Series with one of the most transformative revelations of the gospel: peace is not something we chase — it's who we already are in Christ.From Luke 17 and Colossians 3, Pastor Matt teaches that the Kingdom isn't a distant reality waiting to come to us, but a divine presence already alive within us. The call of stillness isn't to disengage, but to awaken. Through the renewal of the mind, we begin to live from union — not for it — allowing the government of His peace to reign within us.This episode invites you to stop striving for peace and start living from it.

Zacchaeus' pursuit of Jesus represents the longing in every heart for more than anyone or anything of this world can provide. From Luke 19 to Acts 17, this message shows us that we can find everything we need in a personal relationship with Jesus.

We close out our sermon series on those who had encounters with Jesus with probably the most relatable character in our entire series. He is the only one who was already a Christian and had probably known Jesus and followed him in his early ministry, but our encounter takes place much later while he is living in Damascus and Jesus comes to him while he is praying. Jesus ask Annanias to complete what seemed like a simple task; go find a man and pray for him and tell him that God has and important job for him. Something that most of us have done before in praying and encouraging others - but the man Annanias is called to visit was the Christian killing Pharisee named Saul. Join us to discover what happened and how this simple encounter challenges all of us.

Did you know that often times, the very things Jesus did, said, or taught, were the very things the religious establishment placed under the highest form of scrutiny?  It wasn't all because Jesus defied the law or the prophets, as some may assume; contrarily, Jesus came as the embodiment of and fulfillment of the law and the prophets. This begins a new series called, “The House of Simon: A Picture of the Modern Church” with part 1 titled, “The Untouchables.” From Luke 7:36–50, we see a moment when a broken, sinful woman poured out her tears and her costly ointment at the feet of Jesus. While Simon the Pharisee looked on in judgment, Jesus looked on with love. The challenge for today's church is clear: If it were us as Simon, will we respond with pride and distance, or with humility and compassion? True Christianity isn't about keeping our hands clean—it's about reaching out to the ones who not many care to engage with. Evangelism isn't always pretty, but when devoted fully to the leading of the Holy Spirit, it is always powerful. Watch as we discover what it means to walk in humility, restore the broken, and reflect the love of Christ in a hurting world.

Discover how Jesus' ministry was supported and sustained in this powerful Morning Prayer with Pastor Sean Pinder. From Luke 8:1-3, we learn how faithful men and women partnered with Jesus to make the Gospel known, and how God still uses people today to advance His kingdom. Be encouraged that your support, prayers, and obedience play a vital role in God's plan.

In this encounter with Jesus, we look at the dinner party thrown by Simon the Pharisee that was crashed by an unnamed "sinful woman" with an alabaster jar full of perfume. While it is actually two encounters, both reveal something about worship that many "seasoned" Christians lose sight of our take for granted. As we discuss this encounter, we will look at both our personal and corporate worship experience and ask the question whether it actually reflects our own encounters with God. A look at how and why we sing as an act of Worship as well as our posture and behavior in corporate worship. We also challenge the church on the dangers of a spirit of entitlement that can affect us all over time and how to overcome it.

Jesus deliberately chose twelve diverse disciples who would naturally clash with each other, demonstrating that God's kingdom unites people who would never choose each other naturally. From Luke 6 and Acts 2, we see that following Jesus means embracing both the beauty and messiness of authentic community. The early church devoted themselves to teaching, fellowship, breaking bread, and prayer, yet they also faced conflicts and divisions.We are called to work out our salvation together with commitment and faithfulness rather than perfection. Spiritual formation happens primarily in community through long-term relationships that serve as crucibles for growth. At The Upper Room, this happens through Sunday gatherings and Table Groups where we practice being with Jesus, becoming like Jesus, and doing what Jesus did.The sermon challenges us to grow in two specific areas. First, hospitality - becoming hosts rather than guests in our church community and extending welcome beyond our immediate circles. This builds the unity Jesus prayed for in John 17. Second, mission - not as an activity we do, but as our identity as sent ones. We live as people sent into every ordinary moment of our lives.Each Table Group is encouraged to regularly pray for specific people far from God, asking to be used in their lives. The message concludes with the church community walking together to consecrate new land for kingdom expansion, emphasizing that buildings are tools for making disciples, not ends in themselves.URF WEBSITE: ➤ http://www.urfellowship.comSOCIALS: ➤ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/urfellowship/➤ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/urfellowship

From Luke 15:11. This sermon was preached by James Wilkinson and is 10 minutes long.

In this message, Pastor Les teaches on the sixth commandment, Do not murder. It's more than the unlawful taking of life, it's about the condition of our hearts and how we value the image of God in others. From Luke 23, we see the crowd choose Barabbas, a murderer, over Jesus, the innocent Son of God. This reveals both the corruption of man's justice and the beauty of God's redemptive plan: the innocent became guilty so the guilty could be made righteous. Murder isn't just an act, it begins in the heart with hate, offense, unforgiveness, and bitterness. Jesus equated hate with murder, warning us that “you can't radically love God or people with murder in your heart.” Whether through anger, slander, racism, or even abortion, the spirit of murder attacks God's creation. But Jesus died for murderers, for the hateful, and for all of us, so we could be set free and filled with radical love. The vision of Mercy Culture is to take people from corporate encounters with God to daily personal encounters with God. At Mercy Culture, one of our unique characteristics is that we are a presence driven church. We are not built around any person or ministry. We are built around the presence of God.

From Luke 15:11-24 - and the story of "The Prodigal Son" - a message about a Great Homecoming.

In this message we examine the importance of not just "feeling thankful" but rather the call on our lives to "be thankful" and how that looks in our everyday lives. We unpack how expressing our gratitude to both God and others can transform our perspective as well as our hearts. We discuss the foundation of a thankful heart - humility and contentment as well as the greatest enemy of developing that kind of mindset - entitlement and selfishness. Join us as we look at the encounter Jesus had with 10 men cursed with leprosy and why only one of them returned to thank him after he healed them.

Pastor Rodney's message emphasized that following Jesus isn't about being a “fan” who enjoys His miracles and teachings but a true disciple who counts the cost and fully surrenders. From Luke 14, he highlighted that Jesus must be Lord over every part of our lives—faith, family, possessions, priorities, and desires—and that discipleship means carrying our cross daily, not living comfortably. The call is clear: if He's not Lord of all, He's not Lord at all, and real surrender opens the door to experiencing more of God than we've ever known. Listen and be challenged. Support the show

In this powerful service, Guest Speaker Fred Calhoun, Pastor Billy Dupree, and Pastor Shelby Crump brought forth a timely word about staying on the platform of Jesus. Speaker Fred Calhoun spoke on being on the right team with Jesus when we are called up to meet him in the sky. He said “If you want to doubt, pout or live without this isn't the church for you” when speaking about Calvary Tabernacle. We very much appreciate him visiting our church. From Luke 4:18, Pastor Billy reminded us that the platform of Jesus has never changed—it has stood for over 2,000 years and it is still anointed today. Every believer has a ministry, and we are all called to be useful in the body of Christ. Just as the Dead Sea has no outflow, a Christian without release becomes stagnant—we must let the Spirit flow through us. Pastor Billy emphasized that Jesus came to heal the brokenhearted, set the captives free, and invite us to live in the power of His Spirit. His arms are always open, no matter your past. When God sets you free, you are free indeed. Pastor Shelby Crump continued from 1 Corinthians 12:11–13, reminding us that we are all part of the body of Christ, called to pray, serve, and work together. If you want to be on the winning team, get on Jesus' platform today.

In this powerful Lutheran sermon, Pastor Balla proclaims Christ's urgent call to “read the signs of the times.” From Luke 12:49–56, Jesus rebukes the crowds for their spiritual blindness. They could read the weather, but they missed the greatest sign before them — the Son of God standing in their midst.This sermon explores three key truths:The Blindness That Cannot See – How we, like the crowds, often prepare for earthly storms but not for the coming Day of the Lord.The Savior Who Gives Sight – Christ bears the fire of God's judgment at the cross to open our eyes by His grace.The Life of Watchfulness – Living in daily repentance, confidence in Christ's promises, and readiness for His return.Whether you are seeking Lutheran preaching, Biblical sermons, confessional teaching, or Gospel-centered messages, this sermon brings the truth of Christ crucified and risen for you.

What are the expectations that Jesus placed on those wanting to follow him and how does that relate to His expectations for you and me? In this message we examine 3 people who encountered Jesus all with the intention of following him, yet they all walked away in the end.

Every collector has to start somewhere, and in this episode, we're blasting off into a galaxy far, far away to talk about starting a Star Wars vintage figure collection! With decades of figures, variants, and vehicles out there, it can be a little overwhelming—but fear not, young Padawan. We'll help guide you to a solid launch point with a special focus on the original 12 Kenner figures that began it all in 1978. From Luke to Leia, Vader to the Jawa, we'll break down what makes these figures so iconic and how to navigate your first steps as a vintage collector. And we're not making this journey alone! Back on the show is our good friend Jake Book, who's just started down this exciting (and slightly obsessive) path himself. He's recently taken his first steps into a larger world of vintage Star Wars collecting, and we're thrilled to hear what's caught his eye so far. Whether you're a seasoned collector or just thinking about picking up your first figure, this episode is for you! Then we talk about Road to the Past Collectibles to see if we should go there someday.

Our encounter with Jesus this week involves the well know story of Zaccheaus the chief tax collector. Not only do we examine his encounter with Jesus that shocked those around them, but we also look at Zack's transformation and what that might mean for our lives. We also discuss how the parable of the Lost Sheep where the Shepherd leaves the 99 to go find the one that was lost relates to Jesus seeking out Zaccheaus and how the everyday Christ follower and the American church might fit into the story.

Still thinking about Sunday? Same. Because when faith is tested, God shows up—and shows off. It was our first Sunday in the gym for Slam Dunk Summer, and it wasn't just a change in location—it was a move of God. Powerful worship, a packed house, and a message from Pastor Rodney that stirred hearts and stretched faith. Have you ever asked, “Do I have the faith to get through what I'm going through?” You're not alone. From Luke 17:5 & Genesis 22, we were reminded that God increases our faith through two things: His Word and life's tests. Abraham passed the test. And when it felt like the dream was too big, the wait too long, the resources too scarce, and life too hard—God provided. Faith doesn't grow in comfort—it's developed in the dark room. And here's the good news: God's not done growing your faith. #rethinklifechurch #TheWinningFamily #GoodNews #Bible #godsword #godisgood #lakenona #stcloud #orlando #2025sermon #onlinechurch #rodneygage #michellegage #Jesus #Church #Hope #HolySpirit #learnhow #pastor #sermon #inspiringmessages #wisdom Thank you RTL Fam for your generosity!

This week on Shat The Movies, Gene and Big D close out the original Star Wars trilogy with a deep dive into Return of the Jedi (1983). Fueled by nostalgia, Minute Maid and vodka cocktails, and the crushing realization that not all endings stick the landing, the hosts explore the Ewok invasion, Jabba's deadly circus act, Boba Fett's humiliating demise, and the absurdity of Imperial helmet design. From Luke's questionable Force skills to the Empire's laughable "elite troops," nothing escapes the Shat boys' critical eye. Along the way, they celebrate Carrie Fisher's iconic (if problematic) gold bikini moment, mourn for Ewoks lost in battle, and dream up a darker, deadlier version of Endor warfare. Was this the fitting finale Star Wars deserved—or an early warning of Lucas' merchandising empire run amok? Tune in to find out! Plot SummaryA year after Han Solo's capture, Luke Skywalker launches a risky mission to free his friend from the clutches of Jabba the Hutt. After a daring escape involving Sarlacc pits, lightsabers and a lot of questionable strategy, the Rebel Alliance turns its attention to the Empire's new and even deadlier Death Star. Luke confronts Darth Vader once more, hoping to save his father from the Emperor's grip, while Han, Leia, and a band of unlikely Ewok allies attempt to destroy the shield generator on Endor. The fate of the galaxy hinges on battles fought in the forest and the throne room—where redemption, betrayal, and tiny bear-like warriors collide.
