In today’s world, amid the tragedy and turmoil we face every day, we need hope more than ever—true hope found in Jesus. Are you sharing this life-changing hope of the gospel with those around you?You have the power to start another Jesus Revolution today. Pastor Greg Laurie shares more in today’s message. Notes: Focus verses: Ephesians 4, Romans 12 God has given spiritual gifts to each of us. A spiritual gift is a supernatural ability to do something you would not normally do. Romans 12:5–16 (KJV)So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, God created you with purpose. God gave you certain gifts so you could use them to glorify Him and to serve others. We are here on this earth for three reasons:1. The glorification of God (UPWARD)2. The edification of the saints (INWARD)3. The evangelization of the world (OUTWARD) Ephesians 4:11–12 (NLT)Now these are the gifts Christ gave to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers. Ephesians 4:11–12 (NLT) (cont)Their responsibility is to equip God's people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ. Read Romans 12:6–8 There is a God-given gift of exhortation. Teachers tell you how to do it, exhorters make you want to do it. Our culture has become more combative.It's like the world has become a live version of X. Our ultimate goal is to build up, not tear down. If we really love one another, we must "speak the truth in love.”Ephesians 4:15 Paul and Barnabus worked together, visiting the churches.Acts 14:22 Hebrews 10:24–25 Romans 12:8If it is giving, then give generously. Scripture teaches each Christian should give.1 Corinthians 16:2 Romans 12:8 (NLT)And if you have a gift for showing kindness to others, do it gladly. As we use these gifts, we grow spiritually.Ephesians 4:15–16 We are here for the evangelization of the world. Isaiah 5:20 (NKJV)Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; The church is under attack right now. This was a wake-up call for the church that went to fervent prayer.Acts 12 Whenever we are doing the work of God we will face spiritual attack. Charlie reminds me of another young man who was bold for his faith, Stephen. When Charlie took his last breath on earth, he took his first breath in Heaven.2 Corinthians 5:8 Who do we turn to at a time like this? We turn to God.Psalm 46:1 We need to mourn when we lose a loved one. As tragic as Charlie’s death is, it has been a wake-up call to a younger generation.The same was true when Stephen died.Acts 8:1 Acts 1:8 (NIV)“…you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." After Steven’s death the church was scattered and got on with their mission.And as the church today, we need to do the same! Joshua 1:9 It’s time to reach this hopeless generation. This could be your Jesus Revolution moment. Sharing the gospel energizes and refreshes the Christian. You need an outlet for the truth God is giving you. You are blessed to be a blessing. Discover and cultivate the spiritual gifts that God has given you. --- Learn more about Greg Laurie and Harvest Ministries at harvest.org.

A “stagnant Christian” should be an oxymoron. God's plan for His children is that they be edified, constantly moving forward in faith. But the Christian can't become spiritually mature alone... Notes: Focus verse - Ephesians 4 We don’t stand in our own strength, but we are built up together on the foundation of Christ. Upward – glorify GodInward – edify each otherOutward – reach people with the Gospel Edification happens inside each of us when we submit ourselves to God and allow Him to conform us into the image of His Son, Jesus. We are built up so that He is lifted up.1. Edification Is Jesus’ Blueprint.Ephesians 4:11–12 Isaiah 28:16Therefore thus says the Lord God:“Behold, I lay in Zion a stone for a foundation,A tried stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation;Whoever believes will never be shaken.” Parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles—it’s up to you to make sure these children are prepared for spiritual battle. Be proactively teaching your kids Biblical truth or they will be led astray. When Jesus is the cornerstone, and when His people are equipped and built up in truth, the church stands strong. Romans 14:19 (ESV)So then let us pursue what makes for peace and for mutual upbuilding. Let us pursue. 2. Edification Produces Maturity.Ephesians 4:13–14 (NKJV) Edification gives us:- discernment- stability- resilience Longevity doesn’t equal maturity. Jesus loved them enough to tell them the truth and call them to repentance. True love doesn’t enable sin; it confronts it. 3. Edification Requires Every Member’s Contribution.Ephesians 4:15–16 (NKJV) It is essential, that we speak the truth in love. 1 Peter 3:15 (ESV)but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect, Our goal is to lead people to Christ, to be a light in the world. Speak the truth in love.Use your gifts.Pour into others. --- Learn more about Greg Laurie and Harvest Ministries at harvest.org. This podcast is supported by the generosity of our Harvest Partners.

When Peter and John were confronted by religious leaders in Acts 4:1–22, their courage didn't come from their own strength but from the Spirit of God. Even under threat and opposition, they boldly declared that salvation is found in no one else but Jesus. Their confidence came not from education, influence, or status—but from being with Christ.This passage challenges us to live out our everyday mission with the same boldness. The gospel will face resistance, but the Spirit empowers ordinary people to speak truth with courage and grace. As we follow Jesus, we're called to stand firm in our faith, trusting that God's presence and power are greater than any opposition we face.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!

After the healing of the lame man, the crowd rushes to Peter and John in awe—but Peter redirects their attention to Jesus, the Author of life. In Acts 3:11–26, we see the gospel proclaimed clearly: the same Jesus who was rejected and crucified has been raised and glorified, and through Him comes forgiveness, restoration, and new life.Peter's message reminds us that our everyday mission is not about pointing people to ourselves, but about pointing them to Christ. Repentance brings refreshment, and turning to Him brings complete restoration. Just as the healed beggar's life was transformed, we are called to bear witness to the transforming power of Jesus in a world longing for hope.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!

The moment you think you’ve “made it” is the moment you risk drifting backward—forward momentum is essential for every Christian. Today, Pastor Jonathan Laurie shares how returning to the basics keeps you spiritually grounded and thriving. Notes: Focus verse - Philippians 3:7–21 #1 Forward Is Fundamental Philippians 3:12 (NLT)I don't mean to say that I have already achieved these things or that I have already reached perfection. But I press on to possess that perfection for which Christ Jesus first possessed me. Acts 2:42 (NKJV)And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship,in the breaking of bread, and in prayers. We will never outgrow the fundamentals:Read your BiblePrayGo to churchShare your faith These are the weapons of our spiritual warfare. The same basics that started your walk will sustain your walk. #2 Forward Requires Focus Philippians 3:13 (NLT)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, Hebrews 12:1–2 (NLT) Keeping our eyes on Jesus. Paul said, “This one thing I do… I press on. I forget the things behind me.”Philippians 3:13–14 Habakkuk 3:18 (NLT)Yet I will rejoice in the LORD! I will be joyful in the God of my salvation! #3 Forward Means Action Philippians 3:14 (NLT)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 3:15 (NLT)Let all who are spiritually mature agree on these things. If you disagree on some point, I believe God will make it plain to you. Proverbs 4:25–27 (NLT) Get into a small group. Sign up to volunteer. Give with generosity. Share your faith. --- Learn more about Greg Laurie and Harvest Ministries at harvest.org.

What unites us as followers of Jesus goes far deeper than shared interests or backgrounds—it is the reconciling power of Christ. In this message from Acts 3:1–10, we're reminded that through the cross, the walls of division have been torn down and a new family has been created. No longer strangers or outsiders, we are fellow citizens of God's kingdom and members of His household.This unity isn't surface-level; it's built on the humility and sacrifice of Christ, who brings near those once far away. As God's people, we are called to embody this radical welcome—loving, serving, and carrying one another's burdens as a living temple of the Holy Spirit. Discover what it means to step into our everyday mission as a church marked by reconciliation, unity, and love.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 Greg Laurie provides his biblical perspective on Israel and the end times in today's message. Notes: Focus verses - Romans 11, 1 Thessalonians 4 God keeps every one of his promises to us. #1 God says we will never be alone in life.Isaiah 41 Hebrews 13:5 (NKJV)For Jesus Himself has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you." #2 God promises to get us through whatever we’re facing.Isaiah 43:2 Psalm 119:50 (ESV)This is my comfort in my affliction, that your promise gives me life. #3 Jesus promised that He would come again.John 14:1–3 We know God’s future promises are true because He has kept His former promises.

A sign of the times of the last days is the regathering of the nation Israel to their land. A modern-day miracle occurred when the Jews formed a nation on May 14th, 1948.

Daniel 12:4 (NLT)But you, Daniel, keep this prophecy a secret; seal up the book until the time of the end. Many will rush here and there, and knowledge will increase." The rapture must take place first before the Antichrist will be revealed.2 Thessalonians 2:7–8 If antichrist is close, then the coming of Jesus Christ is even closer! #5 When is the Rapture?Matthew 24:36 1 Corinthians 15:51–52 When Christ returns for us in the rapture, first up is the resurrection of the dead.Then we who are alive will meet them in the air.1 Thessalonians 4:16 –17 THE RAPTURE WILL BE A STEALTH EVENT.THE SECOND COMING WILL BE A VERY PUBLIC ONE.

As we witness a growing hunger for spiritual truth in our culture, we have to ask—are we on the edge of another Jesus Revolution? Pastor Greg Laurie shares why he believes we just might be. Notes: Focus verse - Nehemiah 9 Could this be the start of another spiritual awakening? The objective of proclamation evangelism is to clearly preach the gospel and invite people to Christ. Isaiah 43:19 (KJV) Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? Acts 2:17 (NLT) 'In the last days,' God says, 'I will pour out my Spirit upon all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams.’ Psalm 85:6 (NLT)Won't you revive us again, so your people can rejoice in you? Younger men are more likely to become Christians than younger women. Is this another national spiritual awakening? I hope and pray it is. Gen Z has the highest suicide rate of any generation. Teens regularly use AI companions instead of human interaction. The only hope for this generation is Jesus and, for that matter, any generation. #1 In the US we have had four great spiritual awakenings.The first one happened in America before we were a nation in 1740. George Whitfield’s preaching drew massive crowds. The first Great Awakening didn’t just change hearts, it helped shape the moral DNA of the United States. America is exceptional. America is unique.America has been established by God. George Washington was quick to give credit to God for his success on the battlefield. #2 The second Great Awakening occurred during 1790s to 1840s and was led by many, including Charles Finney. #3 The third Great Awakening in America was from about 1857–1859.This revival began when a 48-year-old businessman namedJeremiah Lanphier began a prayer meeting on Fulton Street in New York City. “Revival is the rekindling of a flame, and when the fire is lit,it doesn’t just warm the church—it lights up the world!” —David Jeremiah #4 The fourth Great Awakening was the Jesus Movement. #1 Revival is coming back to life. Revival is refreshment; it’s restoration; it’s returning to original condition. Psalm 80:19 (ESV) Restore us, O LORD God! Let your face shine, that we may be saved! A revival is when God’s people come back to life again. A spiritual awakening is what America needs. Revival is what the church needs. Revelation 2:4–5 (NKJV) "…you have left your first love. Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works,” #2 Revival is waking from sleep. It’s turning from sin. God’s prescription for revival or restoration is in 2 Chronicles 7:14. Read Nehemiah 9:1–4 (NLT) #3 If we want to see revival, we must pray with passion. Matthew 15:22 (NLT)"Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! My daughter is possessed by a demon…" We need to pray like early church prayed for Peter to be delivered from prison.Acts 12:5 Fervent means displaying passionate intensity. #4 If you want to see revival, you must confess your sins. We all have sins to confess each and every day. 1 John 1:8 (NKJV) If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. A sin of commission is doing what you should not do.A sin of omission is not doing what you should do.James 4:17 #5 They separated themselves from ungodly influences. #6 They heard God’s word, and they acted on it. The Bible is our model for how we ought to think and to live. John 15:14 (KJV)You are my friends, if you do whatsoever I command you. God told Joshua the secret to success.Joshua 1:7 (NLT) #7 Revival always leads to evangelism. The evidence of revival is a changed community. Acts 2:41 (NIV) Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day. John 4:35 (NIV)“I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest.” New believers need older believers to stabilize them.Older believers need new believers to energize them. --- Learn more about Greg Laurie and Harvest Ministries at harvest.org.
