Pastor Jim teaches from Ephesians 5 and calls listeners to live as children of light who redeem their days, know God's will, and walk in the Spirit. Jim explains that wisdom is more than knowledge or behavior; it is wanting what God wants and aligning our lives with His desires. He challenges listeners to see each moment as an opportunity to pull what is broken out of darkness and into the light, to discern God's moral will through Scripture, and to remain filled with the Spirit by soaking in the gospel. Rather than being swept along by culture or religious noise, Jim reminds us that wisdom grows as we walk with the Spirit in everyday choices, allowing God's light to shape how we live, love, and worship. When we root our lives in Christ, we not only see clearly but begin to reflect that light into the world around us.

In this message from our Living Well on the Way Home series, Stu Crawshaw preaches from 1 Peter 2:13–3:7 on how gospel relationships are generative — they grow, transform, and bring new life.Stu explores how the gospel changes how we relate to one another, to authority, and to the world around us. Christianity is not passive — it's a radical, world-changing way of life that responds to evil with good and transforms oppressive systems through love.He reminds us that we don't go to church; we are the church — a community of people who live for Jesus each day as living sacrifices, drawing others to Him through gentleness, courage, and grace.

Fill-In Notes: https://churchlinkfeeds.blob.core.windows.net/notes/39900/note-247699.html Continuing the Conversation Where do people your age usually look for hope, and how do those hopes fail when life gets hard? What does it practically mean to flee for refuge to Jesus in your daily life? How can you tell if your anchor (your source of stability) is really in Christ or in something else? When have you felt the storms of life threaten to pull you away? How did God hold you steady? If Jesus has already gone before us into Gods presence, how should that shape the way we face fear, guilt, or the future?

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!

The Pharisee represents the false self built on pride and comparison, while the tax collector came with honesty and humility. Where do you think people are most tempted to pretend presenting a polished version of themselves instead of their real need before God or others? 2. Jesus came as a doctor for the sick, but we often resist admitting our need. What are some signs in your own life that you might be ignoring or minimizing your sickness, and how might you usually hide it? 3. Keller says, The gospel exposes us before it comforts us.

In this episode of The Reformed Brotherhood, Jesse Schwamb and Tony Arsenal delve into the letter of Philemon, focusing on the transformative power of the gospel in relationships. They examine Paul's heartfelt appeal to Philemon on behalf of Onesimus, a slave who has become a believer and is now returning as a brother in Christ. The discussion reflects on the profound theological implications of forgiveness, reconciliation, and Christian unity, as well as the way the gospel subverts societal roles while upholding spiritual kinship. Jesse and Tony explore the delicate yet powerful language Paul employs in his letter, highlighting how he appeals to Philemon's faith and love to guide his actions. Paul's request challenges Philemon to see Onesimus not just as a slave but as a beloved brother, emphasizing the radical equality that the gospel brings to all believers. The hosts unpack the layered dynamics of this relationship, showing how it serves as a practical application of the theology outlined in Colossians. The conversation also touches on the broader implications of living out the gospel in everyday relationships. Through Paul's example, believers are encouraged to prioritize love, forgiveness, and humility, embodying the transformative work of Christ in their interactions with others. This episode offers rich insights into how theology intersects with daily life, challenging listeners to reflect on their own relationships in light of the gospel. Key Points: Paul's appeal to Philemon demonstrates a balance between authority and love, showcasing how Christian leaders can guide others in faith. The gospel transforms relationships, breaking down societal barriers and emphasizing spiritual equality among believers. Forgiveness and reconciliation are central themes, as Paul challenges Philemon to welcome Onesimus back not as a slave but as a beloved brother in Christ. Questions for Reflection: How does the gospel challenge societal roles and transform relationships in your life? What can we learn from Paul's approach to addressing sensitive and difficult situations with love and tact? How does recognizing the spiritual equality of all believers impact your interactions within the church and beyond?

Pastor Jim explores the surprising grace God extends to King Ahab in 1 Kings 20, despite Ahab's corruption and idolatry. Through prophetic warnings, unlikely military victories, and divine patience, God continues to pursue Ahab, offering opportunities for repentance. Jim emphasizes that God still uses the small and unexpected—junior officers, obscure prophets, even our own mustard seed faith—to accomplish His purposes. The message points to Jesus as the true King who defeats sin and death, calls us to repentance, and invites us into a kingdom that belongs to the Father.
