Pastor Matt continues the series on the Sermon on the Mount with message from Matthew 7.
We begin our summer series Songs For the Road with Psalm 120—the first of the Psalms of Ascent. This raw, honest song reminds us that the road of discipleship doesn't always start with joy; sometimes it begins in distress. Pastor Matt unpacks this pilgrim prayer that cries out for justice and longs for home. And in that place of desperation, the good news rings true: God answers. He hears us, He moves toward us, and His answer—then and now—is Jesus.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!

A message from Pastor Matt!
In this episode of the Northwoods Church Matters podcast, Pastor Bobby Pell joins the conversation to unpack the structure, purpose, and often confusing world of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC). Whether you're a long-time Southern Baptist or brand new to Northwoods, this episode is designed to help you make sense of the acronyms, agencies, and hot topics that shape the SBC. We break down how the SBC is not a top-down denomination but a cooperative group of independent churches focused primarily on missions. Pastor Bobby and Pastor Matt discuss everything from the Cooperative Program (our “missions piggy bank”), to the work of the International and North American Mission Boards, to the role of our seminaries, Lifeway, and even the sometimes-controversial Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC). They also take a gracious but honest look at current SBC controversies, and much more. If you've ever wondered about anything SBC-related, be sure to checkit out.

In the final week of The Unloved, Pastor Matt takes us into Jonah 4, where the story turns inward—into Jonah's heart, and into our own. After a city-wide revival, Jonah is furious, not joyful, and God meets him with unexpected patience. Through a plant, a worm, and a scorching wind, God holds up a mirror to Jonah's anger, self-righteousness, and misplaced affections. The truth? God helps us see ourselves clearly so that we can see Him clearly. This raw, unfinished ending invites us to confront our own hearts and encounter the grace of the God who moves toward us even before we're right.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!

Pastor Matt and the gang discuss the pitfalls of backing tracks and over-planned service, how tech teams can help (or hinder) real-time spiritual responsiveness, why flexibility is essential on Sunday mornings, how AI and future technologies might enhance or endanger the soul of worship, and more.

The answer? Salt at the source. Not the sweat of striving, but the tears of worship. Not effort, but union.

“How close was he to getting away with murder? Really close.”In the early hours of April 8th, 2006, Pastor Matt Baker makes a frantic 911 call to Waco police—he's just found his wife, Kari, unresponsive in their bed. As police race to the scene, they also call in Linda Dulin, Kari's mother, to take care of the couple's two young daughters. Though the cops don't see anything suspicious, Linda slowly realizes that Kari's husband, Pastor Matt, in spite of his Baptist faith and proclaimed innocence, hides many sins, including a damning search history, secret phone calls, and a past as a predator. Without Linda, the truth might've stayed buried - but the Texas mother is determined to uncover what really happened to her daughter, and get justice for her & her granddaughters.CreditsWritten, directed & edited by Matthew RiceResearched by Manon LafosseVoiceover by William AkanaProduced by Alexandra Salois & Salim SaderSources:“Dirty Little Secret.” 20/20: ABC, 2025 (Disney Media Distribution)“The Preacher's Hidden Life.” 20/20 on ID: ABC, 2011.

In Week 4 of The Unloved, Pastor Matt walks us through Jonah 3, where we see the ripple effects of repentance across an entire city. Sin has immediate impact and long-term consequences—but the grace of God meets us in the middle of our rebellion with an invitation to turn. In Nineveh, even imperfect obedience from a reluctant prophet leads to radical transformation. Through Jonah's flawed witness, we're reminded that repentance isn't just regret—it's turning toward life. In a world shaped by distorted contexts and broken systems, the gospel breaks in with hope, power, and new direction.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 The Unloved, Pastor Matt takes us into the belly of the fish—Jonah's lowest moment—to reveal a surprising truth: there is good news at the bottom. As Jonah cries out from the depths, we're reminded that God hears us in the worst places and saves us to the best place—His presence. Through raw prayer, deep repentance, and surprising mercy, Jonah discovers what we all long to know: we are never beyond the reach of God's love. Even in our darkest places, Jesus is there, offering grace, hope, and rescue.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!

Pastor Matt explores how Jesus responds to betrayal with faithful love rather than bitterness, showing us that even when others betray us, we don't have to betray our own character—because Jesus sees who we really are and chooses to stick around anyway.

In week week of the "Keep Church Weird" series, Pastor Matt explores the unusual yet powerful practice of baptism. What might seem peculiar from the outside was a profound declaration for early followers of Jesus. This message unpacks baptism as an identity marker, a public statement of commitment to Jesus, and a dramatic re-enactment of the gospel—leaving an old life behind to embrace new life in Christ. Discover the significance of this "weird" act in understanding what it truly means to follow Jesus.
Pastor Matt advanced our Micah series today by exploring chapters 1 and 2, highlighting Israel's idolatry and the consequences of choosing the wrong path in life.
https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Matthew-23_13-36-The-Covenantal-Implications-of-the-Seven-Woes.mp3 We hear it all the time from warmongering politicians: “God will bless those who bless Israel, and curse those who curse Israel.” They say it with conviction—rarely with context—and insist it's self-evident, even axiomatic. But what if I told you that Jesus cursed Israel? Cursed them to the point that He took the Kingdom from them and gave it to a new people, a people who would bear its fruit. What if I told you that the “Israel of God” isn't a modern political state, but a New Covenant community, gathered around the Risen King? It's not a hot take. It's Bible—every word of it. In this sermon, Pastor Matt walks through the covenantal logic behind Jesus' seven woes on the Scribes and Pharisees, and shows how rightly understanding these judgments delivers a fatal blow to the modern cult of Zionism.
