In Week 17, Mike Francesa praises the Giants for competing against the Raiders despite having no postseason hopes. But the Jets? With Aaron Glenn at the helm, this team is hopeless, even with a high draft position in sight.

Send us a textWe're so glad you've joined us today as we continue our series WITH.In Week 5: With God, Pastor Reid Robinette invites us to consider what it truly means to live in ongoing relationship with God — not under Him, over Him, from Him, or for Him, but with Him.Jesus describes life with God as a treasure worth everything, a reconciled relationship that makes us new, and a life that remains connected to Him as our source.

If you've ever ended the day completely wiped out and thought, "Why am I this tired? I didn't even do anything that big…" — hi. Same. And this episode is for you. In Week 4 of our Best Lessons of the Year countdown, we're revisiting two of my favorite conversations because they speak to a very real modern experience: carrying a thousand invisible things… and then wondering why your nervous system feels like it's running a marathon in jeans. First, we dip back into my Solo Cast on the invisible mental load — that constant background hum of remembering, planning, worrying, organizing, anticipating, and basically being the "tabs open in your brain" person. Then, we revisit my conversation with Jordan Arogeti (co-founder of Support Now) to talk about Support Languages — a framework that helps us understand how we give support, how we receive it, how to read the room, and how to repair when we didn't show up the way we wish we had. So if you're listening while wrapping gifts, doing dishes, working out, or hiding in the car for five minutes of peace… welcome. You're in the right place. In this episode, you'll hear: Why the invisible mental load is exhausting even when your calendar "doesn't look that full" A tiny practice that helps an anxious brain actually tolerate stillness (yes, even for one minute) How your body often says "no" before your mouth does What Support Languages are (and why support isn't one-size-fits-all) The lost art of reading the room (and remembering you're not the main character in every chapter

In Week 3 of In The Neighborhood, we turn to Jesus' final words in Matthew 28:16–20 and see that Christmas is a story of mission. The God who came near in Christ now sends His people out with purpose.Jesus' promise to be with us always transforms the way we understand the Great Commission—not as a burden, but as a continuation of the Christmas story. Because God came to us, we now go to others, carrying the good news of His presence into our neighborhoods, workplaces, and everyday relationships.This message challenges us to see mission not as something distant or optional, but as a natural response to the God who is with us.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 Week 3 of our Joy to the World Christmas series, we explore “The Wonders of His Love.” Rooted in Ephesians 3:16–19, discover how God's love moves toward us first, reaches farther than our failures, and brings real change to our hearts and lives. 

In Week 4 of our Christmas at the Movies series, Tara Schwartz brings a powerful and refreshing message using the classic story The Best Christmas Pageant Ever to remind us why the Christmas story still matters so deeply.Through the chaos, humor, and unexpected moments of the pageant, we're invited to see the birth of Jesus through fresh eyes — not polished, perfect, or predictable, but raw, real, and full of grace. This message challenges us to lay aside familiarity, assumptions, and religious expectations so we can encounter the wonder of Christmas all over again.Tara reminds us that God often shows up in places we least expect, through people we might overlook, and in moments that feel messy rather than meaningful. And yet, those are often the very moments God uses to reveal His love most clearly.If you've heard the Christmas story countless times but find your heart needing renewal, this message will help you rediscover the awe, humility, and hope found in the simple truth of Emmanuel — God with us.Listen in and let the story surprise you again.www.thejourneychurch.cc

Ever feel like you're not enough? Like you're under-qualified, behind spiritually, or just hoping no one discovers the real you?In Week 4 of our Love Comes Close series, we look at Mary's encounter with Gabriel in Luke 1:26–38—a moment where grace broke into a story of inadequacy. God didn't choose Mary because she was impressive. He renamed her. He redirected her future. And He still does the same today.If you need hope, identity, or a reminder that God isn't finished with your story—this message is for you.

In Week 4 of Advent, we reflect on the love that finds us: a love that sent Jesus not to condemn, but to save. Looking in John 3 and 1 John 4, this message invites us to receive God's fully knowing, fully loving grace and to live it out as peacemakers, reconcilers, and servants in an unhurried, tangible way.

What if the greatest gift of Christmas isn't something you give or receive—but the One you choose to bow down to? The Magi traveled nearly 800 miles on little more than a prophecy and a star, believing that if the promised King had truly come, He was worth seeking at all costs. In Week 3 of Real Men of Christmas, we look at these wise men—not for their crowns or status, but for their posture. While Herod clung tightly to his own throne and the religious leaders stayed comfortable in tradition, the Magi refused to miss Jesus. They followed God's prompting, bowed before the true King, and opened their treasures in extravagant worship. Pastor Joby unpacks why their response still matters today: because every one of us approaches Jesus like Herod, the religious leaders, or the Magi. And the gifts we bring reveal what we believe about Him—our King, our Christ, our Savior. As we celebrate Christmas and partner with Compassion International to love “the least of these,” this message invites us to examine our hearts, our worship, and the direction of our lives. What gift will you bring to Jesus this Christmas—and which direction will He lead you next?

Kevin McCallister knew what he wanted. He was wrong. We might be too.In Week 2 of More Christmas, Doug explores the deeper longings beneath our Christmas wish lists. Through Scripture, humor, and an unexpected look at Home Alone, this message invites us to ask what we really want not just for Christmas, but for our lives.God doesn't just meet our needs. He satisfies our desires with good things.

In Week 4 of Advent, we light the Angel's Candle and focus on the theme of love, the kind that moves toward the mess, not away from it. From the manger to the cross, God demonstrates a love that sacrifices, rescues, and redeems. The good news of Advent is this: God is with us, God is for us, and nothing can separate us from His love.

Just when we think the Christmas story begins in a manger, God invites us to see a much bigger beginning—one that stretches back to eternity.In Week 3 of Christmas at Granger, An Invitation Home, we explore the origin of Jesus and what it truly means that He came to live among us. Through John 1 and powerful moments throughout Scripture, we're reminded that this is not just the story of where Jesus was born, but why He came.Jesus didn't just visit Earth—He made His home with us, inviting us into a restored relationship filled with hope, light and new life.

MESSIAH HAS COME — Week 3: Joy • “The Joy Of The True Messiah”What does true joy really look like?In Week 3 of our Advent series “MESSIAH HAS COME,” we turn our focus to Joy—not a temporary happiness based on circumstances, but a deep, lasting joy rooted in who Jesus truly is.Anchored in Luke 2:10, we revisit the angel's proclamation of good news that brings great joy for all people. This sermon invites us to rediscover the joy that comes from recognizing Jesus as the true Messiah—the Savior who brings restoration, hope, and new life.Together, we explore:How all of creation rejoices at the coming King (Psalm 96:11–13)Why rightly knowing who Jesus is matters (Matthew 16:13–16)How joy can be restored, even after failure or loss (Psalm 51:12–13)As we prepare our hearts for Christmas, this message challenges us to move beyond surface-level celebration and step into the lasting joy only Christ can give.

Title: "God With Us" - Matthew 1:18-25 Series: Christmas Through Matthew's Eyes (Week 4) In Week 4 of our Christmas series, we explore the heart of the Christmas story through Matthew 1:18-25. Matthew doesn't give us the cozy nativity scene we might expect—he starts with a crisis. Joseph discovers Mary is pregnant, and he knows he's not the father. In the middle of this impossible situation, God breaks through with a message that changes everything: the child is from the Holy Spirit, conceived to save His people from their sins. This sermon unpacks three powerful truths: (1) God enters our impossible situations—He doesn't wait for perfect circumstances, He shows up in the mess; (2) God came to save us from our sins—that's Jesus' entire mission, to rescue us from our deepest problem; and (3) God is with us—that's the promise of Immanuel, not a distant God watching from afar, but God Himself dwelling among us. The name Immanuel means "God with us," and it captures the wonder of Christmas. The infinite God took on finite flesh. The eternal God entered time. The Creator became a creature. All so He could be WITH us—to understand our struggles, to bridge the gap between us and God, and to promise that we're never alone. Joseph's response shows us what faith looks like: simple, immediate obedience. When God spoke, Joseph trusted and acted, even when it was costly and difficult. This Christmas, we're challenged to do the same—to respond to God's word with trust and obedience, knowing that Immanuel is with us every step of the way. Key Scriptures: Matthew 1:18-25, Isaiah 7:14, Hebrews 4:15, Revelation 21:3-4

Are you trusting God, or are you testing Him? The Enemy loves to twist Scripture to make recklessness look like faith. Here is why God's protection is not a license for your stupidity.In Week 2 of our Wilderness Series, we are breaking down the Second Temptation of Jesus (Matthew 4:5-7). The Enemy doesn't come as a monster; he comes as a theologian, quoting Psalm 91 to trap the Son of God.We are talking about the subtle but dangerous trap of Presumption—making reckless decisions with your money, your health, or your business, and then demanding God fix it.In this episode, we cover:Why the Devil quotes the Bible (and how he twists it).The difference between a God-given Sign and an Ego-driven Stunt."Boring Obedience": The Tom Brady principle of success that no one wants to talk about.Why sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do is "take the stairs" instead of jumping.If you have been waiting for a miraculous bailout for a mess you created, this episode will help you stop jumping and start walking in wisdom.0:00 - The Enemy Acts Like a Theologian 1:30 - The Pinnacle: Public Pressure & Ego 3:30 - What is Presumption?

In Week 3 of our Christmas at the Movies series, Pastor Rob Schwartz takes us into the heart of the Christmas classic It's a Wonderful Life to remind us of a powerful truth we often forget.Your life matters.Through the story of George Bailey, we're invited to see how God uses ordinary people, ordinary faithfulness, and even ordinary struggles to accomplish extraordinary purpose. When life feels heavy, discouraging, or unseen, this message speaks hope into the quiet places of the heart.Pastor Rob challenges us to reflect on the impact of our lives, the unseen influence we have on others, and the truth that God is always at work, even when we cannot see it. What feels small to us is never small to God.If you've ever wondered whether your life makes a difference, or questioned your purpose in the middle of hardship, this message will encourage you and remind you that God is writing a story bigger than you realize.Listen in and be encouraged. It really is a wonderful life when God is at the center of it.

Another cold-weather game, another loss for Tua Tagovailoa and the Miami Dolphins. In Week 15's edition of Monday Night Football, Aaron Rodgers continued to quarterback at a high level and the Pittsburgh Steelers collected a very necessary victory in their campaign for Super Bowl glory.

In Week 3 of Advent, we turn to Isaiah 35 and discover that joy isn't reserved for the strong or the put-together—it's a gift God gives to the weary and fearful. As the Advent journey moves from hope to peace and now to joy, this episode explores what happens when the King comes near: barren places begin to bloom, weak hands find strength, fearful hearts gain courage, and broken lives begin to heal.Joy is not something we manufacture through better circumstances or stronger faith; it is the evidence of God's restoring presence. From deserts that sing to a highway God builds for His redeemed, Isaiah's vision reminds us that joy grows as we walk with Jesus. This episode invites you to receive joy right where you are, trust God's restoring work already underway, and rejoice in the promise that everlasting joy belongs to those the Lord is bringing home.Support the show

Your generosity is building something. In Week 3 of our Everyday Altar series, we're learning that worship is so much bigger than singing, serving, or even showing up. Worship is the way you live. It's the way you love. It's the way you give. Paul tells us in Philippians that generosity isn't just kindness — it's a “sweet-smelling sacrifice” rising to God Himself. That means your giving is not just kindness; it's worship. This week we're choosing to give like God is our provider, our source, and our reward.

In Week 2 of In The Neighborhood, we look at Jesus' teaching in Matthew 18:15–20 about how His people are called to deal with conflict. The main idea of this message is clear and hopeful: Jesus is God with us together.Rather than ignoring hurt or allowing division to grow, Jesus gives His church a path toward honesty, repentance, forgiveness, and restoration. And He promises that when we pursue unity in His way, He is present with us.This episode explores how Christian community is strengthened not by avoiding conflict, but by bringing it into the light—because Jesus meets us there.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!

With Us – Week 2: “With Us in Our Fear” Isaiah 41:10–13; Psalm 139:5Fear is something we all know—but Advent meets our fear with a promise: God is with us.In Week 2 of the Advent series With Us, Pastor Kevin looks at what it means to trust God's nearness when anxiety feels loud, circumstances feel fragile, and the future feels uncertain. Through Isaiah's words to a fearful, displaced people and David's prayer in Psalm 139, we see that God's answer to fear is not a pep talk—but His presence.This message reminds us that God does not shout “fear not” from a distance. He comes close, takes us by the hand, strengthens us, helps us, and holds us steady. We are not unseen, unheld, or alone—we are hemmed in by grace.If you're carrying fear about your health, finances, family, or future, this message will help you hear Advent in a deeper way: Immanuel—God with us, even in our fear.Broad River Church | Norwalk, CT Join us Sundays: 9:00 AM & 11:00 AM (English) | 12:45 PM (Español) Learn more or take your next step: https://broadriver.church/nextsteps Follow us on Instagram: @iambroadriverchurch

In Week 3 of Advent, we explore a joy that defies circumstances, a resilient joy rooted not in ease, but in God's presence with us. From the angels' good news in Luke 2 to rejoicing in hardship, we are reminded that joy came down in Jesus and quietly declares that the darkness is not winning.

In Week 3 of Sounds Of Christmas, we are reminded that Jesus makes a way back for every single one of us. To make a way through, a way forward, and a way back to a beautiful way of life with Him.

Money Talks: What It Says and Why It Matters is a two-week study that explores what God's Word teaches us about money. In Week 2, Pastor Scott Worthington teaches from 2 Corinthians 9:6-7. Last week, we talked about a better way to see money—as a tool God wants to use for us and through us to bless others through generosity and giving. Today, Pastor Scott gives us a practical guide, an “instruction manual” on generosity. This is all about discipleship in one of the most important and often overlooked areas of following Jesus. You'll learn not just the why, but the how, and take your next step in your journey of generosity. Check out this sermon to learn more!

In Week 2 of our 3-week series called "The Story", Carmen talks about the manger scene, Bethlehem as the "House of Bread", and more.

Just when we think we've settled into what feels familiar—our routines, expectations and sense of belonging—God reminds us that our stories shape us—and He's still writing them.In Week 2 of Christmas at Granger, A Joyful Home, we look at the powerful influence of where we come from. Through the stories of Zechariah, Joseph, Daniel and the wise men, we're reminded that God uses every season, every influence and every step to grow us into who He created us to be.Our homes may shape us, but God is the one who forms lasting joy, purpose and expectation of His presence.

We expect tidings at a birth—but not at a tomb.Yet Scripture tells us that the greatest good news ever spoken echoes from an empty grave.In Week 3 of our King of Kings series, we trace the story of salvation from the fields of Bethlehem to the emptiness of the tomb and discover this powerful truth: the angels could announce joy at Jesus' birth because they already knew how the story would end.

Week 3: Joy – The Astonished Messenger The holidays are supposed to be about joy, but for many of us, they just become a stressful chase for happiness—the perfect gift, the perfect party, the perfect moment. We spend so much energy pursuing that "peak experience," only to find that happiness is fragile and often leads to disappointment or exhaustion (think of the chaos of a traffic jam on Mount Everest! ). But what if the greatest joy isn't something you chase? Big Idea: Jesus offers joy in the midst of pain. In Week 3 of Lights, Camera, CHRISTmas, we look at the Shepherds, the unlikeliest recipients of the greatest news ever announced. They were terrified when the sky opened up, proving that the announcement of great joy often happens in the middle of chaos and fear, not after it's gone. Join us as we explore the Shepherds' story and learn how to claim the indestructible joy that Jesus provides—a joy rooted in the truth of Romans 8:1 (NLT): "So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus." This Christmas, stop chasing the peak and step into the stable. Find the "great joy" that is available to all people, no matter what you're dealing with. Worship Notes on YouVersion Connect with Linden Road Online:

Your work is building something. In Week 2 of our Everyday Altar series, we're discovering that worship isn't just a song you sing, a service you attend, or a spiritual moment you feel. Worship is the way you live, the way you show up, the way you work. Paul tells us in Colossians that whatever we do, we are to do it as unto the Lord. That means your workbench can be a worship bench. Your office can be an altar. Your shift, your schedule, your everyday grind can bring glory to God in a way you never realized. This week we're choosing to work like Jesus is our supervisor, our strength, and our source.

Have you ever been hurt by people within the church? It's inevitable. However big or small, intentional or not, these wounds cut deeper than most we'll ever experience. But God is bigger than the pain that any one person may cause. In Week 4 of "All I Need is a Miracle," we study the final earthly miracle of Jesus before his resurrection (the healing of an ear) to see how Jesus responds to pain inflicted by one of his own disciples.

In Week 1 of Worship: The First Christmas Playlist, Ted Coniaris teaches from Luke 1 and explores the story of Zechariah—the first voice to break God's 400 years of silence. Through Zechariah's song, we discover that God is faithfully working behind the scenes for both the struggling and the striving, even when He feels quiet.This episode reflects on how God meets us in silence, interrupts our busyness, and shines His light into the shadows of our lives through Jesus—the “rising sun from heaven.” If you're in a season of waiting or wondering, this message offers fresh hope and a gentle invitation to listen for God's voice again.

In Week 1 of our new series In The Neighborhood, we look at the miraculous announcement of Jesus' birth in Matthew 1:18–25. This message centers on the truth that in Jesus, God makes His home with us.Through the name Immanuel, meaning “God with us,” we discover that God doesn't keep His distance—He steps into our world, our struggles, our stories. This episode invites you to consider what it means that God draws near, not abstractly, but personally, in Christ.Listen in as we explore how Jesus' arrival changes the way we see God, ourselves, and the people around us.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 Week 2 of our Advent series, Promised One, Pastor Dave Mudd explores the profound truth of Jesus as the final and perfect Prophet. While the prophets of old brought messages from God, Jesus came as the message of God—revealing the Father's heart in a way no one else could.This message dives deep into Hebrews 1 and Deuteronomy 18 to show that Jesus doesn't just give us information; He gives us revelation. By looking at Him, we not only discover who God is, but we also uncover the restored purpose for our own humanity. Join us as we learn what it means to build our identity on His truth and let His voice guide our every decision this Christmas season.Note: This video also includes an important "Family Update" on the future expansion of our church home and the Hope Center.Key Takeaways:- Jesus is the Final Word: Unlike previous prophets who spoke in fragments, Jesus is the complete and perfect expression of God's voice (Hebrews 1:1-2).- Revealing God's Heart: Jesus goes beyond delivering rules; He reveals God's character—compassion, forgiveness, and holiness—in human form.- Restoring Human Purpose: By revealing the Father, Jesus restores the original design of humanity: to know God, reflect His image, and partner in His mission.- Living the Mission: We are called to be more than hearers of the word; we are empowered by the Spirit to embody the message and live as witnesses in our community.- Vision for the Future: An exciting look at how our church family is expanding our facilities to "build bigger tables" for those seeking Jesus.Scripture References: Hebrews 1:1-2, Deuteronomy 18:15-19, John 1:18

In Week 2 of our series Sounds Of Christmas, we are invited to take steps to pursue the kind of joy that only Jesus can bring. When it feels like something has been taken away from us or when we experience loss in some way, we can trust in Him to use it to grow something in us.

Money Talks: What It Says and Why It Matters is a two-week study that explores what God's Word teaches us about money. In Week 1, Pastor Scott Worthington teaches from 1 Timothy 6:17–19. The Bible speaks often about money because money reveals what's in our hearts. In this sermon, we learned that Jesus isn't after our money — He's after our hearts. The way we spend reflects what we value, what we prioritize, and where we place our trust. This message challenges us to see money for what it truly is: a tool. Not something to be used only for ourselves, but something God desires to work through us. Watch this sermon to learn more!

In Week 2 of Christmas at Eastside, we explore the historical reality of Jesus' birth and what “Emmanuel, God with us” truly means. This message walks through biblical and historical evidence for the Christmas story and invites us to see Jesus not as myth, but as the Savior who stepped into our world to heal the deepest divide.

Just when we think we've settled into what feels familiar—our routines, expectations and sense of belonging—God reminds us that home is more than a place.In Week 1 of Christmas at Granger, No Place Like Home, we explored what it really means to belong. Through the story of Mary and Elizabeth, we're reminded that God meets us in connection, community and unexpected moments of grace.Home isn't just where we live—it's where God is forming love, trust and purpose within us.

In Week 2 of our Advent series "Singing While We Wait," we turn to Isaiah 11 to hear a song of peace. This sermon explores how God meets us in the messes we've made, not with abandonment or punishment, but with presence. Even when peace feels lost and circumstances feel broken, God promises Emmanuel, God with us. As we wait, we are invited to sing a song that celebrates Christ's presence in the middle of our mess and trusts that God is still at work bringing life, hope, and restoration.

Most people stop at the manger during Christmas—but Scripture takes us further.The cradle makes sense only when you understand the cross.In Week 2 of our King of Kings series, we uncover the breathtaking truth that Jesus didn't come to simply be born—He came with an assignment, a purpose, and a mission that began at the cradle and was completed at the cross.

In Week 13 of our Everyday Mission series, we explore how God often calls us into moments that stretch our faith further than is comfortable. Acts 9:1–31 shows us a powerful picture of what it looks like to trust God beyond our limits — both in Saul's dramatic transformation and in Ananias' willingness to obey even when the path seemed risky. This episode invites you to consider where God may be asking you to step out, depend on Him, and participate in His mission in ways you never imagined.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!

You may have heard the story of Jesus casting out demons into pigs from Mark 5:1-20. It's one of the most bizarre miracles recorded in the Bible, but why did Jesus go out of his way to have this encounter with a "legion" of demons? In Week 3 of "All I Need is a Miracle," we answer that question and find out how it still applies to us today!

What if the most life-changing word Jesus ever spoke isn't one we pray, but one we've forgotten how to say? When Jesus called God Abba, He wasn't just using another name—He was revealing the very heart of God. In Week 7 of Stand Firm & Act Like Men, we look at how Jesus' relationship with the Father shapes our own identity as sons and our calling as dads. What would change in your life if you truly knew God as Abba?

What if the love you feel and the love God commands aren't the same thing? Love isn't just a feeling—it's the defining mark of spiritual maturity and the foundation of how men are called to lead. In Week 6 of Stand Firm and Act Like Men, Pastor Joby teaches through 1 Corinthians 13 in its true context: unity, leadership, and the daily life of the Church. Even the greatest gifts, achievements, strengths, or sacrifices mean nothing without love. Biblical love is patient, kind, humble, forgiving, enduring, and self-sacrificing—a far cry from the self-focused “love” most of us default to. Pastor Joby challenges men to look honestly in the mirror, put away childish ways, and leverage their strength not for self-protection or self-gratification but for the good of others. Because love never quits, and we can only love as God commands when we receive the love He first showed us through Jesus.
