We're back with another episode of The Double Cleanse, and this week James & Robert are raking celebrity beauty brands by how much effort the celebrities are ACTUALLY putting into them! But first, Robert gives us the tea on his recent wedding (!!) – spoiler alert: it was nothing like a typical wedding. The twins also bond over their mutual wedding horror: Robert was mistaken for James all night, while James regrets not eating more of the bacon bar. Then comes the main event: ranking celebrity beauty brands by effort level. They dissect Kylie Cosmetics, Brad Pitt's skincare line (which feels like a contractual obligation), and Jared Leto's skincare brand where he admitted he doesn't even use skincare – literally within the first week of launch! James defends Harry Styles' Pleasing as genuinely thoughtful with real vision, while Robert refuses to believe in it. Gwen Stefani gets roasted for basic, dropship-quality packaging. The twins champion women-founded indie brands like Blend Bunny and Glitz Cosmetics, whose pigmentation and quality actually rival Dior. The verdict? Most celebrity brands are vanity projects with minimal involvement – so they want to hear from YOU about which celebrity brands you think actually have genuine effort behind them.

Big idea: There is no greater altar and sacrifice than Jesus himself — so live sacrificial lives of praise. 1. Care for others because Christ will always care for you (v.1-6)  2. Remember the faithful because Christ never changes (v-7-8) 3. Offer sacrifices of praise at the altar of Christ (v.9-19) Discussion Questions: 1. Hebrews 13 starts with practical commands: love one another, show hospitality, remember prisoners, honor marriage, and be content. Which of these areas is most challenging for you right now, and how might it become a “sacrifice of praise” to God? 2.  How does God's faithful presence free us from fear, greed, self-protection, or people-pleasing? 3.  Who has modeled faithfulness for you, and what part of their life would you want to imitate? 4.  Why is the unchanging nature of Jesus such a comfort in a world where circumstances, people, culture, and even leaders can change or fail? 5. What might it look like today to bear the reproach of Christ and seek the city to come?

‘Lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.'—Matthew 3:17‘We labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.'—2 Corinthians 5:9

1 Thess 4:1–12 A God Pleasing Church Main Point. Characteristics of a church that pleases God. Driving Question. How does a church live in a way that pleases God? Three characteristics: 1. Holiness before God (2–8) 2. Love for one another (9–10) 3. Witness before the world (11–12)

A life that chases for things through God is a life that is well-pleasing to the Lord.

Jesus stands before Pontius Pilate. The crowd is demanding crucifixion. The religious leaders are driven by envy, and the Roman governor sees clearly what is right yet chooses comfort over conviction. In many ways, Pilate's struggle is painfully familiar. What happens when faithfulness becomes costly? What do we do when the truth disrupts our carefully managed lives?

Are you chasing happiness… only to feel empty?Solomon had it all — wealth, pleasure, success — and called it meaningless. The truth is, living to please yourself always ends in disappointment. In this message, we explore why living to please God is actually where we find lasting joy, contentment, and purpose.

This message emphasizes that a life pleasing to God is marked by continual spiritual growth, holiness, self-control, genuine love for others, and living in a way that reflects Christ to the world.

What does it mean to live a life of faith when everything around us feels a bit shaken? Dave brings us to the final chapter of the letter to the Hebrews, reminding us that the Christian life is an adventure, a race, and a walk of faith where we have to keep our eyes firmly fixed on Jesus. As the world changes and uncertainties creep in, Dave highlights the ultimate anchor for our souls: “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” Dave breaks down three key things the writer of Hebrews reminds us to do: 1. Remember those who went before you

What was the historical and prophetic purpose of The Transfiguration? And does it hold any application for us today? In today's episode, we continue our sermon series from the archives, The Gospel According to Mark, as Paul explains why Jesus was transfigured, and how the glory of Christ in that moment should shape the way we live.To hear more sermons from Paul, visit PaulTripp.com/Sermons.

Mark 7:24-30 A Pleasing Faith I) Shameless Humility II) Shameless Persistence III) Shameless Confidence Reflection Questions: Read Matthew 15:28 -“Then Jesus answered her, 'O woman, great is your faith! Let it be done for you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed instantly. 1)What can we learn from this woman about the kind of faith that Jesus commends? 2) What barriers does this woman cross in coming to Jesus? 3) What are some common barriers that we can have in our relationship with Jesus that keep us from coming to Jesus and asking? 4) Jesus answers the woman's quest with a parable, see v. 27. What is the picture he paints? How does the woman understand Jesus' words? 5) What will be different in your walk with Jesus, having read this text?

This week we look at 1 Thessalonians 4 and explore how holiness is not about perfection or empty rule-following, but about becoming the kind of people who reflect the character of Jesus in every part of life — our desires, our relationships, our work, and the ordinary rhythms of everyday life.

Sermon on Hebrews 13:15-16 by Pastor Jeff McInnis from Springhill Community Church

We are living in the new covenant - the ability for us all to present our bodies as a LIVING, HOLY, and PLEASING sacrifice. And it is our “logical,” worship. Join us as we dive into the Burnt offerings of the OT and how the Holy Spirit's presence with us continues this same offering today.

15 And you Philippians yourselves know that in the beginning of the gospel, when I left Macedonia, no church entered into partnership with me in giving and receiving, except you only. 16 Even in Thessalonica you sent me help for my needs once and again. 17 Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that increases to your credit.[a] 18 I have […]

Faith: The God Pleasing Essential (broadcast date: 03/22/2026)

“The Cost of Pleasing Everyone” reveals a silent burden many carry; the exhausting habit of saying “yes” to others while saying “no” to themselves. In the pursuit of approval, you can lose your voice, your boundaries, and even your sense of identity. Constantly trying to meet everyone's expectations drains your energy, breeds resentment, and distances you from your true purpose. Growth begins the moment you realize that not everyone needs to understand you, agree with you, or be satisfied with your choices. Protecting your peace and honoring your values may disappoint others, but it will ultimately preserve your authenticity and strengthen your life's direction” — SSRGO#KnowYourWorth #StopPeoplePleasing #ProtectYourPeace #SetBoundaries #SelfRespect #AuthenticLiving #GrowthMindset #EmotionalWellness #PurposeDriven #LessonOfLifeSeries #InnerStrength #ChooseYourselfLessonOfLifeSeries@Gmail.Com
