Scripture: 2 Samuel 13-19. Father Wounds - are wounds brought into our lives through family members. Deep wounds with lasting consequences. Father's wounds - are wounds to parents by their children. It is grieving because their children turned their backs on the things they were taught from the time they were little. Both are deep and painful wounds. How to deal with the pain and how to go beyond it. Our study covers: Amnon rapes Tamar (2 Sam 13) Absalom hates Amnon (2 Sam 13) Absalom murders Amnon (2 Sam 13) Absalom flees to thalami (2 Sam 13) Absalom conspires against David (2 Sam 15) Absalom revolts against David (2 Sam 15-17) Joab executes Absalom (2 Sam 18) In our study we see that wounds eliminate the spiritual strength of King David. We also see wounds that bring about rebellion and hatred, anger and murder. We see wounds experienced by a father who feels he has failed his son. A tragic horrible story. Yet God desires to speak to us through it. This story is in the Bible for a reason and purpose. The purpose is not just to inform but to transform. God desires to bring healing, hope and strength and to reverse the painful trajectory of what we have experienced. Divine Prescriptions ⁃ Sow and Reap - Galatians 6:7-8 Consequences of our behavior can be negative or positive. “Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.” Also, as seen in David's story, God forgives, but the consequences of sin are still there. ⁃ Nurture or Anger - Ephesians 6:4 encourages fathers to teach their children to live uprightly and faithfully before God and for fathers to model an upright life to their children. ⁃ Truth and Love - Ephesians 4:15 We are to speak truth to our kids but speak that with love. ⁃ Forgive and Release - Whether we have father wounds or father's wounds we are to forgive and letting go. Colossians 3:13 We are to forgive as the Lord forgives us - even those who have disappointed us, hurt us deeply, and in that forgiveness and releasing there is healing and there is hope. ⁃ Father and Son - 1 John 2:1-2 Jesus is the atoning sacrifice for our sin and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world. God loves us and His love goes beyond the love of any father. Our Heavenly Father offers each of us healing, hope and life-transforming power. If you have been the victim of a father wound or if you are experiencing a father's wounds, you need to know there is a Father who loves you more than you could imagine. Who understands the wounds because those wounds were placed in the very body of His Son and He offers to us forgiveness, eternal life, and the ability to start all over. Now What?

In Ephesians 3:14-21, we learn that knowing God's love takes supernatural power. These verses make it clear that each of us can personally experience (grasp) God's love through the power of the Holy Spirit. When we humble ourselves, trust God's provision, and root our lives in His love, He fills us with His presence. And that changes everything. Part 13 Ephesians Series “Grasping God's Love” (Ephesians 3:14-21) Pastor Bill Young July 19 & 20, 2025
During the Apostle Paul's closing to Ephesians, he describes love in a way that is different from all his other references to love in the New Testament. As we close this series on Ephesians, we look at Paul's use of love in Eph. 6.24 and trace the theme of love throughout the letter.

Join Pastor Stuart for the ninth lesson in our series, Walk This Way, about following Jesus. This week, we turn to Ephesians 5:1-2 to learn how we . . . "Walk in Love". In this lesson, we learn: Followers of Jesus are to walk in love. To do this, we start with the love of God in Christ for us. Walking in the love God calls us to entails sacrifice. Walking in sacrificial love is difficult, so we keep relying on Jesus. So by the power of the Spirit at work in us, let's continue to grow in loving others as Christ has loved us.

On Sunday, Jess McCarroll continued our More series as we unpack the passage that hosts one of the most famous verses in Ephesians; That God is able to immeasurably, abundantly more than we can ever think or imagine. Jess highlighted two key themes: Power & Love Ephesians 3:14-21
In Ephesians 5.1-7, the Apostle Paul carried forward his dominant image of the Christian life as a walk with God. This walk is described as imitating Christ in two very important areas of our lives: sexual integrity and speech. Join us as we continue through our series in Ephesians called, “Together In Christ.”

4 Things about God's Love (Ephesians 3:14-19)Will WashingtonPCPC High School8 June 2025
In Part Six of our Ephesians series, we discover the Good News of what God has done for us. While we were dead in our sins, He made us alive with Christ by grace. We'll explore God's rich mercy and great love, and what that means for our future in Christ. Part Six Ephesians Series “Rich in Mercy, Great in Love” (Ephesians 2:4-7) Pastor Caleb Yetton May 31 - June 01, 2025
“He makes the whole body fit together perfectly. As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love.” (Ephesians 4:16 NLT) Good things happen when the church functions in the way God intends. Not only do God’s people become unified, like the parts of a body working together, but we also become spiritually mature. The apostle Paul offers a glimpse of what that maturity looks like: “We won’t be tossed and blown about by every wind of new teaching. We will not be influenced when people try to trick us with lies so clever they sound like the truth. Instead, we will speak the truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ, who is the head of his body, the church” (Ephesians 4:14–15 NLT). When I was a brand-new believer, I would talk with Pastor Chuck Smith, who was quite a bit older than I was. One day, I asked, “Chuck, how long have you been a Christian?” I think he said it was somewhere around fifty years. That number stunned me. “Fifty years?” I asked. “Does that make you an apostle now? Can you walk on water after fifty years?” There is maturity that comes with time. But I’ve been a Christian now for longer than fifty years, and while I’ve certainly grown and learned a lot, I have a long way to go. Some of you may be saying, “Yeah, you do, Greg.” And that’s true. I do. But you do, too. We all do. There’s no shame in admitting it. In fact, when we stop believing we have a long way to go, we set ourselves up for a fall. Paul himself said, “No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us” (Philippians 3:13–14 NLT). Even as he taught others how to become spiritually mature, Paul constantly was striving to become more mature in Christ himself. Spiritual maturity grounds us in the truth of Scripture. It keeps us from being “tossed and blown about” by false teachings. It gives us the wisdom and discernment to recognize deceivers, people who try to make the Bible say things it doesn’t say. Spiritual maturity and spiritual unity complement one another. When you develop a sense of unity with other believers, you also develop a sense of accountability. And believers who are accountable to one another will speak the truth in love when one of them starts to go down a questionable path.

This week, Pastor Yannick from Stockwell Baptist Church reminded us that discouragement is deadly. The only way out of its deadly snare is seeing, understanding, and comprehending the true height and depth of God's great love for us.

This week, Dr. Jason Tovey joined us to share a powerful message about what it means to leave a gospel legacy rooted in love. To truly love God and others, we must first understand how deeply loved we are. Looking at Ephesians 3:14-21, Romans 8:35-39, and 1 Peter 1:8, we are reminded that God's love is unwavering, unshakable, and beyond comprehension. When we are grounded in His love, we are transformed to love others in a way that reflects Christ.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!

"But speaking the truth in love, let us grow in every way into him who is the head—Christ. From him the whole body, fitted and knit together by every supporting ligament, promotes the growth of the body for building itself up in love by the proper working of each individual part."

Ephesians 3:17-21 The unshakable position of every believer—spiritually, mentally, and emotionally—is found in his connection to the relentless love of Christ. When a person finds his security there, he is unmoved by the seeming instabilities of the world around him. He begins to see God work in ways he never thought possible!
