Everyone gets tired. We're not just talking about being physically tired, but mentally and emotionally exhausted. And when that exhaustion hits, people are watching closely to see how we respond. Fortunately, God never intended for us to have to do it alone.In Week 5 of "Comeback Stories," Pastor Jeremy DeLoach examines a moment in Exodus 17 where Moses is being crushed by the weight of guiding the Israelites. When his tank hits empty, he doesn't give up. He gives in to what God is about to do through him.

What happens when life puts your faith to the test? In Week 3 of our Parables series, Pastor John Hill explores Jesus' Parable of the Wise and Foolish Builders. Everyone experiences storms—but not everyone survives them the same way. Jesus reveals that the difference isn't hearing the truth; it's building your life on it. You'll discover: Why listening to Jesus isn't enough How obedience creates spiritual maturity What makes a life strong enough to withstand life's storms Storms don't create foundations—they reveal them. #Parables #BuiltDifferent #Faith #Jesus #SpiritualGrowth - NEXT STEPS  Looking to take your next step?  We want to help!

In Week 10 of our Welcomed. series, we follow Paul, Timothy, and their companions as they begin a new chapter of gospel mission. Along the way, we discover that the Christian life is not ultimately about maintaining control—it is about surrender.In Acts 16:1–15, Paul willingly lays down personal rights, adjusts carefully made plans, and refuses to take credit for the work that only God can do. Through Timothy's example, the Macedonian vision, and Lydia's conversion, we see that the welcome of Jesus calls us to trust God's purposes above our preferences and His wisdom above our own understanding.Whether it's our rights, our plans, or our desire for recognition, Jesus invites us into the freedom that comes from placing every part of our lives in His hands. As we surrender, we discover that God is the one directing the mission, opening hearts, and advancing His kingdom.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 3 of our summer series, The Bible for Regular People, McKinney Campus Pastor Eric Sebastian walked through Acts 6-7 and the story of Stephen. Stephen was an ordinary man who became a powerful witness for Jesus because he lived surrendered to the Holy Spirit. Even in the face of opposition and persecution, he remained faithful and boldly pointed people to Christ. His story reminds us that God uses ordinary people to share His faithfulness and make Jesus known. This message challenges us to consider what our lives are giving witness to and how God can use our faithfulness to impact others.

In Week 13 of the season, Jason Wang and Jake McKibbin discuss who's hot, who's not, and other Brewers news.

In Week 3 of our God Who Remembers series, we discover a deeply personal truth: God Remembers Us. Through Psalm 103, we see the heart of a compassionate Father who knows our weaknesses, understands our humanity, and never forgets His children. Whether you're celebrating Father's Day with joy or navigating pain and loss, this message reveals that God's remembrance is not passive awareness—it's active love, covenant faithfulness, and compassionate care. You are known, remembered, and deeply loved by your Heavenly Father.

The global ship recycling market has entered a new chapter as the United States and Iran sign an interim peace agreement, reopening the Strait of Hormuz after more than 100 days of closure. In Week 25 of 2026, Brent crude collapsed to approximately USD 78 per barrel, erasing the entire war premium that had carried prices above USD 126 in late April. WTI also eased toward USD 75, while sanctions relief and the restart of halted Gulf oil production shifted market focus from supply disruption to potential oversupply. For the global ship recycling industry, this is a major turning point. The two forces that kept older vessels trading instead of recycling, high bunker costs and strong freight earnings, are now weakening together. The Baltic Dry Index eased to around 2,653 on June 17, while daily Capesize earnings fell to approximately USD 35,162 from the late-May high near USD 49,511. However, the timing remains difficult. Although peace has reopened the sea route and reduced the bunker-cost floor, the Indian subcontinent is now deep in the monsoon season. Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan continue to show demand, financing, and yard appetite, but beaching activity remains limited by weather. This week's episode examines: The interim US-Iran peace agreement and reopening of the Strait of Hormuz Brent crude collapsing toward USD 78 and the evaporation of the war premium Why lower bunker costs could finally release older vessels for recycling The continued cooling of dry bulk freight and Capesize earnings Why the monsoon now controls the beaching calendar across South Asia Bangladesh's stable Taka, steady steel prices, and strong post-monsoon outlook India's Rupee rally, softer Alang steel, and improving macro position Pakistan's firm Rupee, strong steel pricing, and fading Gulf proximity premium Turkey's Lira breaking 46 per dollar and Aliaga's continued EU-regulated niche Why the second half of 2026 may bring the strongest candidate flow since February Key market takeaway: Peace has been signed, the Strait of Hormuz has reopened, Brent has returned near pre-war levels, and the freight premium is cooling. The deferred wave of recycling candidates is now being primed, but the monsoon remains the immediate constraint. The ships are free to move, but the beaches must wait for the rains to ease. Peace is signed. The premium is gone. The ships are moving. But the rains reign.   For full details, vessel rankings, and port positions, download the GMS Weekly on our GMS website or mobile app. Follow GMS on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and X for daily updates.

Have you ever felt overwhelmed by bad news, anxiety, or the endless demands of everyday life? In a world filled with uncertainty and distraction, it can be difficult to notice the goodness, beauty, and joy that God has placed all around us. In Week 1 of our Ordinary Holy series, Pastor Jon Thompson explores the spiritual practice of celebration through Philippians 4 and other key passages of Scripture. Discover why joy is more than an emotion, how gratitude transforms our perspective, and how learning to recognize God's beauty in everyday moments can strengthen our faith, renew our hope, and bring peace in challenging seasons.   Speaker: Jon Thompson Publication: June 22, 2026

In Week 7 of What Do I Do, we look at James 4 and confront a truth we all know but often avoid: life is shorter than we think. We are challenged to stop assuming we'll always have more time and we're invited to consider what God is calling us to do today.

In Week 3 of our Glory & Honor series, we look at Isaiah 6:1-8 to discover how to get back up after disappointment. When King Uzziah died, Isaiah's world was shaken, but God's throne was not. A fresh vision of God's glory changed everything.Website:www.experienceredemption.comFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/experienceredemptionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/experienceredemption

What is the Gospel? Is it simply good advice, or is it something far greater?In Week 1 of our brand-new Romans series, Pastor Jason explores one of the most important words in the entire Bible: Gospel. Romans is often considered the Apostle Paul's greatest theological work, and it begins with a powerful reminder that the Gospel isn't about what we can do for God—it's about what God has already done for us through Jesus Christ.In this message you'll discover:✅ Why the Gospel is the best news you'll ever hear✅ How God's plan of salvation was established before the foundation of the world✅ Why Jesus is at the center of the Gospel message✅ How faith produces obedience—not legalism✅ Why the Gospel is for everyone✅ How the Gospel is the power of God for salvation✅ The incredible truth of Christ's righteousness being credited to believersRomans reminds us that no one is righteous on their own, but through faith in Jesus Christ we can be forgiven, redeemed, and made right with God.

In Week 3 of Built Different, Pastor Ethan Harris closes the series by looking at 2 Peter 1:5–8 and the progression Peter gives us for a faith that grows into real, Christlike love.Peter knew what it felt like to fail, deny Jesus, and feel unworthy. But Jesus met him right where he was, restored him, and called him into a life of purpose. That same invitation is for us today.When we supplement our faith with virtue, knowledge, self-control, steadfastness, godliness, brotherly affection, and love, we become people who are not ineffective or unfruitful. We become people who love like Jesus, serve like Jesus, and show the world that we are truly built different.

Inside Out Relationships | Heal. Connect. Grow. Love. (Week 1)What does it mean to truly connect?In Week 2 of our Heal. Connect. Grow. Love. series, we explore the story of the four friends in Mark 2:1-12 who refused to let obstacles keep someone from Jesus. Their determination, faith, and love remind us that healthy relationships begin with Christ and move outward to those around us.As we focus on our core value of Connect, we'll discover how God calls us to build meaningful relationships with Him, invest deeply in friends and family, and intentionally reach a world that desperately needs hope.Because real connection isn't just about being close to people—it's about helping people get closer to Jesus.

What does real friendship actually cost?In Week 2 of our series, Why Can't We Be Friends?, Pastor Casey Olsen explores Galatians 6 and challenges us to move beyond convenient, surface-level relationships into the kind of friendship Scripture calls us to embrace. While many of us long for deep, meaningful friendships, true friendship is forged through sacrifice, consistency, humility, and burden-bearing love.Through Paul's words in Galatians 6, we discover that biblical friendship is not merely about shared interests or mutual enjoyment. It is about restoring one another when we stumble, carrying one another's burdens when life becomes heavy, and remaining faithful when relationships become costly. Real friendship requires time, patience, presence, forgiveness, and a willingness to step into the struggles of others rather than pull away from them.Pastor Casey unpacks what it means to "bear one another's burdens" and how Christian friendship reflects the ultimate example of sacrificial love found in Jesus Christ. As the Friend who moved toward us in our brokenness, carried the burden of our sin, and laid down His life on our behalf, Jesus not only models true friendship but empowers His followers to extend that same grace to others.Whether you're longing for deeper relationships, struggling with loneliness, learning how to support a friend through a difficult season, or seeking to become the kind of friend God calls you to be, this message offers a biblical vision for authentic community and lasting friendship.Scripture:Galatians 6:1-10Series:Why Can't We Be Friends? | Week 2Message Title:The Real Cost of FriendshipSpeaker:Pastor Casey OlsenGrace City Church exists to help people encounter Jesus, grow in faith, and live on mission together. We believe meaningful Christian community is not built on convenience but on the transforming love of Christ that enables us to carry one another's burdens and reflect His grace to the world.#WhyCantWeBeFriends #Friendship #Galatians6 #PastorCaseyOlsen #GraceCityChurch #ChristianFriendship #BiblicalCommunity #ChristianLiving #JesusCallsUsFriends #CarryOneAnothersBurdens #ChurchCommunity #FaithInAction #Sermon #BibleTeaching #ChristianRelationships

Following Jesus was never meant to be a private journey. In Week 4 of our This Is Us series, we explore what it means to live on mission by building authentic relationships and boldly inviting people to follow Jesus. Discover why the mission isn't just for pastors or missionaries, how God uses ordinary conversations to change lives, and how one simple invitation can have an eternal impact. You may be closer to someone's breakthrough than you realize.

Come, Holy Spirit — Week 4: There's Water. Why Wait? | Acts 2:1–13, 37–41 Texts: Acts 2:1–13, 37–41; Matthew 3:13; Matthew 28:18–19; Romans 6:3–4Baptism Sunday is not a normal Sunday with a little water at the end.In Week 4 of Come, Holy Spirit, Pastor Kevin closes the series by showing how perfectly Baptism Sunday fits with the work of the Holy Spirit. The Spirit who fills us does not leave us hidden. The Spirit who leads us does not leave us passive. The Spirit who seals us does not leave us silent. The Holy Spirit gives ordinary people courage to publicly belong to Jesus.This message walks through Acts 2 and answers five questions people often have about baptism: why should I be baptized, what does baptism mean, how should I be baptized, who should be baptized, and when should I be baptized. Along the way, Pastor Kevin reminds us that baptism is not about religious performance or spiritual perfection. It is an outward sign of an inward decision, a public picture of the gospel, and a first step of obedience for redeemed people.If you have trusted Jesus but kept putting off baptism, this message is a clear, joyful, biblical invitation: there's water.

In Week 3 of our Summer at Bethlehem series, our good friend Pastor Mike Linch joins us to share a life-changing word on what it truly means to discover our identity and calling in Christ. Continuing our summer journey through the scriptures that have fundamentally shaped our lives, Pastor Mike takes us to the shores of Galilee in Luke 5:1–11.   Too many of us spend our lives chasing worldly definitions of success, building our own plans, and exhausting ourselves in our own strength—only to end up with empty nets. Through the story of Simon Peter's miraculous catch of fish, this message confronts our need for control and serves as a powerful guide on how to shift from our personal ambitions to a life of true, kingdom-altering impact.  

In Week 8 of Hosea: A Living Sermon of God's Love, we look at Hosea 8:1–14 and the danger of idolatry in the heart of God's people.Idols are sneaky. They often begin as good things, but when they become ultimate things, they take the throne of the human heart. Hosea reminds us that God is not interested in empty religious activity when our hearts belong to something else.A divided heart cannot offer undivided worship. This message challenges us to examine what has captured our affections, what is shaping our pursuits, and whether our lives are truly surrendered to God's mission.

In Week 9 of our welcomed. series, we encounter a surprising moment in the life of the early church. As Paul and Barnabas prepare for their next missionary journey, a sharp disagreement leads them to part ways. Rather than hindering the mission of God, however, this conflict becomes another example of how Jesus builds and advances His Church.Acts 15:36–41 reminds us that faithful Christians can hold differing convictions while remaining united around a common mission. Through different personalities, perspectives, passions, priorities, and even problems, Jesus continues to accomplish His purposes. The church was never meant to be a collection of identical people—it is a diverse family brought together by the gospel and sent out for the glory of Christ.Join us as we explore how the welcome of Jesus enables us to pursue unity without demanding uniformity and to remain committed to the mission of God even when we disagree.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/

People do not live differently until they see differently. In Week 6 of our Ephesians series, Pastor Ken teaches from Ephesians 4:25-32, showing how the Christian life is not about behavior modification but transformation through a new identity in Christ. Paul challenges believers to put off the old self and put on the new self through honesty, self-control, generosity, encouragement, kindness, and forgiveness. This practical message reveals how a changed heart produces a changed life and how the Gospel not only saves us but teaches us how to treat others. Whether you're struggling with anger, relationships, forgiveness, or simply seeking spiritual growth, this message offers biblical wisdom for living as a child of light in a dark world. Scripture: Ephesians 1:18 Ephesians 4:17-32 Listen, share, and grow with us as we continue our journey through Paul's letter to the church in Ephesus.

How does a comeback actually happen? It doesn't happen over night, and the unfortunate reality is that something bad has to happen first for it even be necessary. The good news is that the Bible doesn't hold real life examples of this from us, and one of the best comes in the form of Peter.In Week 4 of "Comeback Stories," Pastor Brandon Petty from Generation Church leads us through a study of Peter's journey from declaring Jesus the Messiah, to denying him three times, to ultimately leading the spread of the Gospel.

Have you ever felt like God was being unfair? In Week 2 of our Parables series, Pastor Carlo Mendoza unpacks one of Jesus' most surprising stories. The Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard challenges our assumptions about fairness, comparison, and grace. Through this story, Jesus reveals that God's generosity is far greater than we often realize. You'll discover: Why grace will always feel unfair to those keeping score How comparison steals joy and gratitude What it means to celebrate God's generosity toward others The good news is that God's grace isn't based on what you've earned—it's based on who He is. - NEXT STEPS  Looking to take your next step?  We want to help!

Do your words reflect your relationship with Jesus? In Week 5 of Jesus + Nothing, Pastor Rich closes the series by teaching from Colossians 4 and reminding us that everything is spiritual, including the words we speak, text, post, pray, and use in difficult conversations. This message explores four ways our words can point people to Jesus: pray with your words because they connect you to God, engage with your words because they build bridges to outsiders, encourage with your words because they strengthen others, and honor with your words because they deepen relationships.

In Week 6 of The Return, Pastor Leonard Davis shares “The Heart of the Matter,” a message about the powerful connection between our treasure and our hearts. Through Luke 12:13–34, we're challenged to consider what our spending, giving, and priorities reveal about where we place our trust and to find true security in God rather than our possessions. Continue reflecting on the message with this week's Sermon Reflection Guide, designed to help you process what God is saying and how He may be inviting you to respond.   The Return Week 6 - The Heart Of The Matter Sermon Reflection Guide

The war premium in global shipping and energy markets has finally cracked, but the ship recycling market is still waiting for the final signature. In Week 24 of 2026, Brent crude fell sharply toward USD 89 per barrel, its lowest level since March, after President Trump suspended planned military strikes against Iran and signalled that a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz could be signed as early as this weekend. Iran is also reported to be moving closer to approval, although no final agreement has yet been confirmed. For the global ship recycling industry, this is a major turning point. The two forces that kept older vessels trading instead of recycling, high bunker costs and strong freight earnings, are now softening at the same time. The Baltic Dry Index eased to around 2,818, while Capesize earnings cooled to approximately USD 40,274 per day after last week's peak near USD 49,511. However, the timing remains difficult. The monsoon has now taken control of the beaching calendar across the Indian subcontinent, limiting near-term recycling activity even as macro conditions begin to improve. This week's episode examines: Brent crude falling toward USD 89 and the cracking of the war premium The possible US-Iran agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz The proposed 30-day de-mining timeline for Hormuz Why lower oil prices and softer freight could eventually release older tonnage Why the monsoon now controls beaching activity across South Asia Bangladesh's stable Taka, steady steel prices, and strong Q3 demand outlook India's Rupee recovery, softer Alang steel prices, and improving macro position Pakistan's rising annual CPI, easing monthly inflation, and firm Gadani pricing How a Hormuz reopening may gradually reduce Pakistan's Gulf proximity premium Turkey's inflation pressure, Lira stability, and continued EU-regulated recycling niche Subcontinent recycling prices, vessel supply, and cash buyer sentiment Why the second half of 2026 may look more constructive than the first Key market takeaway: The war premium has cracked, Brent has moved below USD 90, freight has cooled, and currencies across the recycling markets have repaired themselves. But the beaching window is now governed by the monsoon. If the Hormuz agreement is signed and the 30-day de-mining clock begins, older tonnage may eventually face renewed pressure toward recycling, but not immediately. The premium cracks. The pen hovers. The monsoon rules.

In Week 6 of What Do I Do?, we explore how to navigate and resolve conflict. As James challenges us, we discover that the conflicts around us often reveal a deeper conflict within us.

In Week 2 of Glory & Honor, we turn to Hebrews 3:1-6 and discover what it means to truly "consider Jesus." Because of who Christ is and all He has done, believers are called to fix their attention on Him, trust His faithfulness, and be built into a house that reflects His glory.Website:www.experienceredemption.comFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/experienceredemptionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/experienceredemption

In Week 3 of Chronicles of the Kings, we look at the life of Solomon, a king who began with a heart devoted to God but slowly allowed other loves to take His place. Through Solomon's story, we are reminded that even good things can become dangerous when they become ultimate things.Watch as Pastor Andrew Strand takes us through Week 3 of Chronicles of the Kings and discover how God calls us to remain fully devoted to Him.

What if peace doesn't come when the battle is over, but when God shows up in the middle of it?In Week 5 of our *Overwhelmed* series, Pastor Carl Nichols unpacks Psalm 23:5a and reveals a powerful truth: God prepares a table for His people while their enemies are still present. The miracle isn't that the struggle disappears—the miracle is that God provides peace, provision, and fellowship right in the middle of it.In this message, you'll discover:• How God's providence is always ahead of you• Why God prepares blessings before He asks anything from you• The significance of the table as a symbol of covenant and protection• What it means to experience peace in the presence of your enemies• Why your circumstances don't determine God's faithfulnessNo matter what you're facing today, God is not catching up to your situation—He's already there, preparing the way.

In Week 1 of "Psalms of Summer," we begin our journey through the psalms by looking at Psalm 144. In this message, we're reminded to remember who God is, who we are, and what true blessing really means. As David lifts his eyes above his circumstances, he points us to the unshakable truth that the greatest blessing isn't what God gives us — it's God himself.

In Week 2 of Built Different, Pastor Grayson Parker walks through 2 Peter 1 and challenges us to examine whether our faith is producing real fruit or just looking good from a distance.Using the life of Daniel, this message unpacks the importance of self-control, steadfastness, and godliness. Real faith is not about perfection or performance. It is about consistently choosing obedience, remaining faithful when life gets hard, and becoming more like Jesus every day.Are you producing real fruit, or just fake fruit?

Following Jesus Through Suffering | Heal. Connect. Grow. Love. (Week 1)What if healing is more than the removal of pain?In Week 1 of our Heal. Connect. Grow. Love. series, Pastor J.C. explores 1 Peter 2:1-25 and reveals how God often brings healing and wholeness not by removing suffering, but by transforming us through it.As Peter writes to believers facing hardship, rejection, and injustice, he points them—and us—to Jesus. The One who suffered for us is also the One who heals us, restores us, and leads us into wholeness.In this message you'll discover:• Why healing begins with surrender• How our identity in Christ shapes our healing• What it means to follow Jesus through suffering• How trusting God with our pain leads to freedom• Why the ultimate goal of healing is a closer relationship with JesusScripture: 1 Peter 2:1-25Series: Heal.

In Week 2 of our Parables series, we explore the Parable of the Unforgiving Debtor in Matthew 18:21–35. Jesus teaches that forgiveness isn't something we count—it flows from a heart that has experienced God's grace. When we truly understand the debt God has forgiven, it changes the way we respond to those who have wronged us. Forgiveness is a command, a decision, and often a process, but it opens the door for healing, restoration, and freedom.

In Week 2 of our Summer at Bethlehem series, Student Pastor Spencer Haynes opens up God's Word to share a passage that completely disrupted, challenged, and redirected his life. The power of the Bible is that it doesn't just inform us; it transforms us when we allow it to step out of the pages and into our real-world stories.   Preaching from the historic and heavy text of Isaiah 6:1-8, Spencer contrasts modern, emotional consumer Christianity with a true biblical encounter with God. "Send me" sounds exciting, powerful, and amazing in a worship service with great lighting and loud music—until holiness confronts our hidden sin and Jesus actually demands our comfort. This message is a direct challenge to step away from casual faith, stop hiding behind religion, and realize that real biblical calling always follows cleansing.  

Come, Holy Spirit — Week 3: God Keeps Us | Ephesians 1:11–14 Texts: Ephesians 1:11–14A lot of people fear that what started well may not finish well.In Week 3 of Come, Holy Spirit, Pastor Kevin teaches from Ephesians 1 and shows that the Holy Spirit is not only the One who fills God's people and leads God's people—He is the One who keeps God's people. He is God's seal and guarantee that what Jesus purchased, God will complete.This message is a powerful reminder that redemption is not fragile. In Christ, believers have obtained an inheritance, been sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, and given the assurance that their future is held by the faithfulness of God—not the strength of their own grip.If you have ever felt unfinished, insecure, or afraid you will not make it, this message points you back to the finished work of Jesus and forward to the promise God will surely complete.Broad River Church | Norwalk, CT Join us Sundays: 9:00 AM & 11:00 AM (English) | 1:00 PM (Español) Learn more or take your next step: https://broadriver.church/nextstepsFollow us on Instagram: @iambroadriverchurch

Who was in the room before the Church began? In Week 1 of Build the House, Amy Perez looks at Acts 1 and the ordinary people gathered in the upper room. As they waited for God's promise, they were gathered and available, discipled and formed, empowered and sent. This message reminds us that God builds His Church through ordinary people who make room for Him.

Do you want to leave a legacy? For most of us, the answer to that is an easy "yes," but it gets complicated when we start figuring out what that legacy is and how to achieve it. Thankfully, the Bible leaves us a clear blueprint of how to navigate this through the life of a prophet you may have never heard of (before this series).In Week 3 of our study of the rebuilding of the wall in Jerusalem, we examine how Nehemiah navigates opposition, doubt, and even the reality of his work being ultimately undone. Along the way, we find 7 key truths that every person that wants to build a legacy must cling onto.

What if God has been more patient with you than you realize? In Week 1 of our summer series on the Parables of Jesus, Pastor Erik Wade explores the Parable of the Unfruitful Fig Tree. While many people assume God's patience means unlimited time, Jesus tells a different story. This powerful parable reveals both God's incredible mercy and the urgency of responding to Him before the opportunity passes. You'll discover: Why God's patience is a gift, not a guarantee What spiritual fruit reveals about our lives How to respond before it's too late God's grace is available today—but Jesus reminds us that tomorrow is never promised. - NEXT STEPS  Looking to take your next step?  We want to help!

Are you settling for superficial flashes of intensity, or are your relationships grounded in a deep, life-giving connection?In Week 7 of our series, "The Hygiene of My Heart", Charlie Grimes diagnoses a highly deceptive and destructive vice that often wears the mask of romantic desire or ordinary validation, but operates as a severe internal malfunction: Lust.Using the Greek concept of Hygias—meaning sound, healthy, and completely whole—we step into the divine clinic to map out the true anatomy of human intimacy. Far from being a harmless or isolated mental habit, lust acts as a spiritual short-circuit. It mimics our natural, God-given wiring for connection, yet uses visual and mental consumption to bypass the slow, sacred process of sacrificial love, leaving our spiritual health in the dark.In this video, you will discover:The Screwtape Strategy: An eye-opening framework inspired by C.S. Lewis on how modern entertainment algorithms exploit our mental fatigue to detach physical appetites from genuine personal connection.Biology, Psychology, and Theology to bear healthy, kingdom-minded fruit.The Insulation Protocol: Practical micro-moments and defensive filtering habits to guard your eyes, clear out toxic imagination, and protect the spiritual purity of your local church community.Big Idea: Lust is an unauthorized short circuit of desire that distorts God's design for intimacy, consuming the vessel it is stored in while objectifying those we are called to love.Key Scriptures: 1 Corinthians 6:12–20; Psalm 119:9–11

In Week 8 of our Welcomed. series, we examine one of the most pivotal moments in the early church as believers wrestle with a foundational question: Is the grace of Jesus truly enough?In Acts 15:1–35, the apostles confront attempts to add requirements to the gospel and affirm the life-changing truth that salvation comes through grace alone. The welcome of Jesus is not earned through religious performance, cultural conformity, or personal achievement—it is received through faith in Christ. Yet the gospel doesn't stop there. The same grace that welcomes us into God's family also transforms the way we live with and love one another.Join us as we discover how the welcome of Jesus calls us to live securely under God's grace and faithfully from God's grace, finding freedom in Christ while learning to love others with humility, sacrifice, and unity.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 3 of Summer Stories, Pastor Craig Stephens explores Jesus' parables of the Hidden Treasure and the Pearl of Great Value from Matthew 13:44–46. Through these powerful stories, Jesus reveals that the Kingdom of Heaven is of immeasurable worth. Whether you discover it unexpectedly or spend your life searching for it, the treasure of Christ surpasses everything this world has to offer. This message challenges us to examine our priorities and ask: Do our lives reflect that God's Kingdom is our greatest treasure?

What do you do when God hands you a "wait card" you didn't ask for—a painful diagnosis, a wayward child, or a prayer that has gone unanswered for decades?In Week 2 of our series through Habakkuk, Pastor Tom Kang reveals a counter-cultural truth: waiting isn't a malfunction; sometimes, the waiting is the work.Through the Hebrew concept of Emunah (faith), this message challenges us to examine the nearest "ladders" we use to escape the watchtower—hustling, grabbing, and control—just to avoid sitting still. Discover how shifting your perspective from a delayed outcome to a Person can turn the agonizing silence of absence into a holy silence of awe.

Acting As If is one of the most powerful spiritual practices for personal transformation, conscious creation, and living from a higher state of awareness. In Week 16 of The Science of Mind Journey, Rev. Lee Wolak explores how to stop waiting for outer conditions to change and begin embodying the consciousness, confidence, faith, and spiritual identity of the person you are becoming. This teaching reveals how your thoughts, beliefs, emotions, choices, and actions shape your experience of life. Acting As If is not pretending, faking, or denying reality. It is aligning your inner world with the truth of who you are before the outer world has fully caught up. When you think, speak, feel, and act from your desired state of being, you begin to impress the subconscious mind and move in harmony with spiritual law.
