The Unloved: "Repentance Robs Sin of Its Power" (Jonah 3) – Week 4

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!

What happens when the gospel you were handed no longer makes sense of the pain, beauty, or complexity of the world you're actually living in? In this conversation, I sit down with Nicholas McDonald, pastor and author of The Light in Our Eyes, to explore the tensions between disillusionment and hope, escape and embodiment, cynicism and renewal. Nicholas brings a pastor's heart, a theologian's depth, and the honesty of someone who's wrestled with real questions and has found the freedom, beauty, and love that Jesus can bring. We talk about what 40 million people walking away from the church actually means, why so many are rejecting not Jesus, but a culture of fear and power, and how the recovery of ancient practices, communal faith, and a more embodied gospel could help us reimagine the way forward. From Zechariah's silence to Jim Henson's Muppets, from dispensational escape theology to communion as resistance - this conversation covers a lot of ground, and all of it matters. So join us as we find the light of Christ has been present all along.Nicholas McDonald is the Associate Pastor at Redeemer Presbyterian church in central Indianapolis and has served in ministry for over fifteen years. His previous positions have included roles in youth ministry and four years as the Campus Minister of Reformed University Fellowship at the University of Missouri. McDonald received his degree from Gordon Conwell Seminary and studied creative writing at Oxford University. He's the author of Faker, and the forthcoming book "The Light in Our Eyes: Rediscovering the Love, Beauty and Freedom of Jesus in an Age of Disillusionment".

What if real cultural change is just 15% away—and we're closer than we think? In this Coach's Corner, I'm diving into something that's been really stirring in my heart: hope. Not the wishful-thinking kind, but the kind that's born from repentance—a deep turning back to God with a holy fear of offending His love. When we do that, we make space for His grace to move, to renew, to restore. That's where real hope comes alive. I also talk about why I truly believe cultural change is possible—even now. Did you know it only takes about 15% of a group to shift the culture? That means if just a small part of our parish gets fired up for the Gospel and mission, it can spark something way bigger. I've seen it happen. And more importantly—God's done it before. I share stories, reflect on saints and past renewals, and talk about how a mission mindset, paired with corporate repentance, can set the stage for transformation. I end the episode with a prayer asking God to move in power again—because I really believe He's not done with us yet. If you've been feeling discouraged or wondering if your yes to God really matters, this one's for you.

A Prior “Independence Day Devotional” as We Prepare to Celebrate Again - We Must Have a Great Spiritual Awakening that Returns America to God MESSAGE SUMMARY: Will you "Stand in the Gap" and participate in a Great Awakening and Spiritual Renewal in America? The signers of the Declaration of Independence, in 1776, began a revolution which led to the formation of the United States of America. This Revolution was rooted in the belief that all people are subject to the rule of God, even the King; and leaders are not above man's law or God's Law. Also, everyone is endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights. Many people have tried to deny that America's founders created a country which wove together the concept of self-governance with Christian principles. Now, it appears the focus, of many political and church leaders, is to eliminate ideas, laws, policies, and objects that relate America to Christianity, the Bible, or anything that smacks of God. Today, this focus away from God is succeeding. We all need to hear what our founders said regarding America's Christian base. Not long after the enactment of the Constitution in the late 1700s, morality and church attendance declined drastically into a Spiritual Depression. The answer to this 1700s turn away from God became the nationwide implementation of "Concerts of Prayer", across all Christian denominations, which led to an American Spiritual Awakening. Today, through our actions, laws, and cultural revisions of our founding Christian principles, we have told God that we do not want Him around. Therefore, we must consider what God said He would do and what He has done in the past when people have turned away from Him, as told in Psalms 2:1-2,5,10-12: “Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD and against his Anointed . . . Then he will speak to them in his wrath, and terrify them in his fury, saying . . .  Now therefore, O kings, be wise; be warned, O rulers of the earth. Serve the LORD with fear and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way, for his wrath is quickly kindled. Blessed are all who take refuge in him.". In the past, as indicated in Psalms 2, God has withdrawn His presence, including His protection and divine wisdom, when people have turned away from Him. God's presence has guided America for so many years, and the withdrawal of God's presence in America would leave us to reap the consequences of our focus away from Him. Also, consider what the Lord said, in Ezekiel 22:30-31: "And I sought for a man among them who should build up the wall and stand in the breach before me for the land, that I should not destroy it, but I found none. Therefore, I have poured out my indignation upon them. I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath. I have returned their way upon their heads, declares the Lord God.”. However, in Zechariah 1:3 and in many other promises throughout the Bible, God says to his people in the past and to us today: “Therefore say to them, Thus declares the LORD of hosts: ‘Return to me', says the LORD of hosts, ‘and I will return to you', says the LORD of hosts.". Will you "Stand in the Gap”, on behalf of your country, to participate in and lead a Great Awakening and Spiritual Renewal in America by returning America to God? We must have a Spiritual Awakening to return America to God.     TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, I come this day inviting you to cut those deeply entrenched chains that keep me from being faithful to my true self in Christ. In doing so, may my life be a blessing to many. In Jesus' name, amen.      Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 44). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, Because of who I am in Jesus Christ, I will not be driven by Hatred. Rather, I will abide in the Lord's Love. “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in Me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5).

She digs into why society, especially within certain religious circles, labels these spiritual practices as “evil” or dismisses them as nonsense, and why women—particularly the so-called “crystal girlies”—often find themselves at the center of this controversy.Drawing from her own experiences and weaving in a thoughtful exploration of spiritual history, Ashleigh reflects on the ways ancient wisdom was passed down by women, only to be branded as dangerous by those in power. She highlights the parallels between practices like prayer and crystal energy, urging listeners to recognize the universality of working with the unseen. This episode is an invitation to rethink what it means to be “spiritual” and to celebrate the freedom to carve out a personal path—no labels required.With humor, honesty, and a dash of the mystical, Ashleigh encourages the community to stand firm in their unique blend of science and spirit, and to own their big crystal energy—no matter who's rolling their eyes.

What happens when data knows us better than we know ourselves? In this raw and riveting conversation, John Vervaeke and Christopher Mastropietro sit down with Andy Russell — a former architect of data-driven persuasion — to expose how AI, behavioral profiling, and social media algorithms can hijack human desire, threaten our agency, and reshape our civilization. But there's hope: what if the same power that manipulates us can be used to heal us? This episode lays bare the disturbing origins of persuasion tech, how it was used in politics and commerce, and what it will mean when AI takes the driver's seat. Andy shares his personal reckoning, his brush with death, and how he's dedicating the rest of his life to restoring dignity and meaning to the human experience — with spiritual urgency. Andy Russell is a serial entrepreneur and former insider in data and media technology. After helping build some of the very tools that now shape persuasion online, he experienced a profound moral and existential crisis.

The Cross & Resurrection Change Everything | Easter at Burnt Hickory What if the final words of Jesus on the cross—"It is finished"—hold the key to your freedom today? This Easter message explores how these three words changed everything, not just for those who witnessed the crucifixion, but for everyone seeking hope, healing, and transformation in their lives now. Key Insights: 1. The Meaning of "Tetelestai" - Jesus' final declaration was used by servants reporting completed tasks, artists finishing masterpieces, and priests confirming sacrifices—all pointing to how Jesus fully satisfied our debt of sin. Mary's Journey from Grief to Joy - Mary came to the tomb seeking closure, not resurrection. Her encounter with the risen Jesus transformed her sorrow into purpose, demonstrating how Jesus can "put you back together" regardless of your struggle. The Resurrection's Transformative Power - The disciples went from hiding in fear to becoming the foundation of Christian faith because of "none other than the undisputed resurrection of King Jesus." This message explores how the historical events of Easter continue to impact lives today. Whether you're seeking to understand how much Jesus loves you, considering giving your life to Him, or finding yourself "in a deep, dark, heavy moment" needing to come back to faith, discover how the cross and resurrection offer more than religious tradition—they provide the power to transform your story completely.

He focuses on how our God-given longings often get turned into demands, and how that shift can lead us away from trust and toward control.Pastor Eric encourages the community to rely on the Holy Spirit—both in listening to God and in learning how to walk with one another. He emphasizes that helping someone isn't about fixing them but staying present, asking good questions, and pointing them back to Jesus.The sermon also includes specific ways to help people reconnect with the gospel: questions that surface what they believe, who they think they are, and what it might look like to respond to God rather than react to pain. The goal isn't just awareness—it's renewal. And that happens best in community, with the Spirit's help.Support the showThe Village Church's sermon podcast is more than just a weekly message. It is an invitation into the great and ongoing story of God's work in the world. Pastors Eric, Mark, Susan, Daniel, and other leaders open the Scriptures not as a collection of abstract ideas but as the living, breathing witness to God's kingdom breaking into our midst. Each episode is a call—not merely to listen, but to take part, to step forward into the life of faith with renewed vision and purpose. Week by week, the pastors and leaders explore the deep rhythms of Christian discipleship—prayer, fasting, generosity—not as isolated duties but as part of a larger, richer, and more beautiful whole. They unpack these ancient practices in light of Jesus himself, the one in whom heaven and earth have come together. But they also turn their attention to the realities of everyday life—relationships, finances, the struggles and joys of being human—demonstrating how the gospel is not merely about what we believe but about how we live as God's renewed people in the present age.

Homilies by Cardinal Blase Cupich. Highlights of Holy Week. The vision of Spiritual Renewal.

Reformed Brotherhood | Sound Doctrine, Systematic Theology, and Brotherly Love

In this episode of The Reformed Brotherhood, Jesse Schwamb dives into Colossians 3:1-11, exploring the profound theological truths about our union with Christ and how it transforms our identity, behavior, and perspective. Jesse emphasizes the Apostle Paul's call for Christians to seek the things above, set their minds on heavenly matters, and put to death earthly desires. With Tony absent this week, Jesse unpacks the richness of this passage solo, offering practical insights and reflections on living a Christ-centered life. Jesse begins by discussing the "two addresses" believers inhabit: their earthly location and their heavenly citizenship in Christ. He highlights how our identity in Christ secures us in the heavenly realm, hidden with Christ in God, and how this truth should inform and shape our daily lives. Through Paul's words, Jesse emphasizes the tangible newness believers experience in Christ—new priorities, a new culture, and even a "new wardrobe," symbolizing our transformed life. The episode also touches on the practical implications of this passage, including putting to death sinful behaviors, embracing Christian community, and living with a heavenly-minded focus. Jesse encourages listeners to meditate on their identity in Christ, love their church family deeply, and live out the gospel transformation in every area of life. Key Points: Union with Christ and Heavenly Citizenship: Believers are hidden with Christ in God, granting them a secure and unshakable identity in the heavenly realm. The Call to Put Sin to Death: Paul lists specific sins to abandon, emphasizing the transformation that comes from being united with Christ and living out the gospel truth. Heavenly-Minded Living: Christians are encouraged to set their minds on things above, focusing on eternal treasures rather than temporary earthly desires. The Role of Christian Community: Jesse highlights the importance of the local church as a place where believers grow together, bear with one another, and display the unifying power of Christ. Questions for Reflection: How does the reality of being "hidden with Christ in God" shape your daily perspective and priorities? What earthly desires or behaviors do you need to "put to death" in light of your identity in Christ? How can you better love and serve your local church community as an expression of your union with Christ? In what ways can you focus more on heavenly treasures and less on earthly concerns?

Spiritual transformation requires more than surface-level changes - it demands a complete renewal of mind and spirit. This process involves letting go of worldly patterns and embracing God's truth through regular spiritual practices like prayer and Scripture study. True transformation manifests in changed attitudes, perspectives, and actions, reflecting Christ's character in daily life. The journey isn't about achieving perfection but making consistent progress through intentional surrender and spiritual discipline.

Pastor Dan's sermon, God's Treatment Plan for Spiritual Renewal Part 4, emphasized that spiritual transformation happens when believers join Jesus on His mission to seek and save the lost. Drawing from Luke 15:1–7, he highlighted how Jesus delights in redeeming sinners and restoring their “saltiness,” and how heaven rejoices over each soul that repents. The call is clear: we are to follow Christ in faith, reach out as His body, and celebrate every life changed by grace.#SpiritualRenewal #Luke15 #JoinJesusOnMission #LostAndFound #HeavenRejoices #FaithInAction #GospelMission #TransformedByGrace

Reformed Brotherhood | Sound Doctrine, Systematic Theology, and Brotherly Love

  n this episode of the Reformed Brotherhood, Jesse and Tony explore Colossians 2:11-15, a passage rich with theological truth about our spiritual transformation in Christ. The discussion begins by examining the concept of spiritual circumcision, not performed by human hands, but accomplished by Christ Himself. This circumcision represents the cutting away of our sinful nature, symbolizing the inward renewal that comes through faith in Jesus. The hosts emphasize how this spiritual reality is tied to the Old Testament covenant sign of circumcision, demonstrating its fulfillment in Christ. The conversation moves into the significance of being buried and raised with Christ through baptism. Jesse and Tony unpack how baptism mirrors our union with Christ in His death and resurrection. They highlight how our record of debt, symbolizing the guilt and penalty of sin, has been canceled and nailed to the cross. This powerful imagery reminds listeners of the sufficiency of Christ's work on their behalf and the assurance of forgiveness and new life in Him. Finally, the brothers reflect on the triumph of Christ over sin, death, and the rulers and authorities that stood opposed to Him. They discuss the implications of being made alive in Christ, not only for our future hope of bodily resurrection but for our present reality as those who are spiritually raised and seated with Him in the heavenly places. This episode challenges listeners to rest in the sufficiency of Christ and to reject any theology that adds to His completed work. Key Points: Spiritual Circumcision in Christ: Jesus performs a circumcision not made with human hands, cutting off our sinful nature and bringing about inward renewal. Buried and Raised with Christ: Baptism symbolizes our union with Christ in His death and resurrection, demonstrating our forgiveness and new life through His work. Canceling the Record of Debt: The guilt and penalty of sin are removed as Christ nails the record of our debt to the cross, securing our justification. Triumph Over Sin and Death: Christ disarms rulers and authorities, demonstrating His victory over all powers that stood against Him and His people. Union with Christ: Believers are spiritually raised with Christ and seated with Him in the heavenly places, reflecting a present and eternal reality. Questions for Reflection: How does the concept of spiritual circumcision deepen your understanding of God's work in your life? In what ways does baptism symbolize your union with Christ in His death and resurrection? What does the phrase “canceling the record of debt” mean to you, and how does it influence your view of forgiveness? How does Christ's triumph over rulers and authorities encourage you in your daily walk of faith? What does it mean to you that you are already spiritually raised and seated with Christ in the heavenly places?
