In this powerful message from Pastor Karl, we journey beyond the manger to discover the timeless roots of Christmas in the Garden of Eden. Christmas is far more than a seasonal vibe—it's the profound story of God's unchanging love, revealed through proximity, provision, and loving parameters.Drawing parallels between Eden and Bethlehem, Pastor Karl shows how God has always pursued us: walking closely with humanity, generously providing what we cannot obtain ourselves, and setting protective boundaries for our good. Yet, from the beginning, humanity has often rejected this love, doubting God's goodness and choosing our own way.The heart of the gospel shines through as Pastor Karl reminds us that even in our rejection, God's love pursues and covers us—first promised in Genesis with the crushing of the serpent's head through the seed of the woman, and perfectly fulfilled in the incarnation of Jesus, Emmanuel, "God with us."This message challenges us: Will we embrace not just the warmth of Christmas, but the weighty claims of Christmas—God's call to love Him fully with our whole heart, soul, mind, and strength through belonging to His family, becoming like Christ, giving generously, and going on mission?A stirring reminder that God's everlasting love didn't begin in Bethlehem—it was set in motion from the very beginning, for you and me.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 8:00am 9:30am & 11:00am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

Audio Sermon for Sunday December 14, 2025
December 7, 2025 Steve Barbee
As we continue studying our series in the book of Corinthians, today we will discuss 1 Corinthians 13.This chapter, often called the “Love Chapter,” emphasizes the supreme importance of love. Paul explains that no matter how gifted, knowledgeable, or generous we are, without love, it means nothing. Love is patient, kind, humble, and enduring. It does not envy, boast, or seek its own way. Love never fails and is eternal, outlasting faith and hope. Paul concludes by highlighting that love is the greatest virtue, the foundation for all Christian life and relationships
Join Chris Montgomery in this insightful sermon as he delves into 1 Corinthians 13 to explore the true essence of love as defined by scripture. Highlighting the importance of love within and outside the church, Chris emphasizes how love is not a mere option for followers of Christ but a divine mandate that reflects the character of Christ. Discover how love transcends actions and intentions to embody the teachings of Jesus, urging believers to mature in love and live out its principles in everyday life. This sermon provides a profound understanding of how love should guide our interactions, both within the congregation and in the broader world.
In this stirring and deeply encouraging Advent message, Pastor Karl continues the series The King Has Come with a raw and life-giving exploration of the second great gift Jesus brings: peace.Turning to the familiar yet profound scene in Luke 2:8–20, Pastor Karl invites us into the midnight terror of ordinary shepherds—suddenly confronted by the blinding glory of God—and shows how the very first words from heaven that night were not “Merry Christmas,” but “Fear not.” That first Christmas did not begin with sentimental calm; it began with paralyzing, mega-fear. And right there, in the middle of stacked-on-stacked fear, the angel announced good news of great joy: a Savior has been born who is Christ the Lord, the Prince of Peace.With pastoral tenderness and unflinching honesty, Pastor Karl unmasks fear as the mortal enemy of peace—how it magnifies threats, shrinks our view of God, and paints our future in colors darker than God ever intended. Yet the gospel is stronger: peace is not the absence of trouble but the presence of a Person. Peace is not something Jesus gives; peace is who Jesus is—and He gives Himself.Through the shepherds' journey from terror to testimony, we're given clear, scriptural paths out of fear and into the unshakable peace of Christ: speaking God's truth over fear's lies, refusing to agree with the spirit of fear, drawing near to Jesus through spiritual disciplines, and taking bold steps of obedience that move us against comfort and toward surrender.This is a word for everyone whose heart has been ruled by anxiety, worst-case scenarios, or the quiet fears that steal joy—especially in this season. A tender yet urgent call to stop trusting the unknown future to our own control and start trusting it to the known God who entered our fear as a baby in a manger.Because the King has come, fear does not get the final word. Peace does. And when the Prince of Peace takes over a life, what spills out is no longer fear—but praise, testimony, and unshakable confidence in the goodness of God.Essential listening for anyone who longs to trade fear for the peace that passes all understanding this Christmas.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 9:00am & 10:30am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm
How do we know that the "Perfect" has come and that the spiritual gifts ended? What does it mean to be in a face-to-face relationship with Yahweh.

Dave Rich explores love as a Christian virtue that pervades all moral decisions and relationships. This comprehensive virtue extends to believers and the lost, demonstrated through obedience, gratitude, and sacrificial service modeled after Christ's atoning love. Love as a Christian virtue means imitating God, who first loved us, fulfilling the law through neighbor love, and speaking truth lovingly. Paul declares that without love as a Christian virtue, even extraordinary spiritual gifts become meaningless, making it essential for Christian living.Download Notes | Download Presentation ★ Support this podcast ★

What Loving One Another Looks Like (1 Corinthians 13:1-7) | Nate Reed
How shall we live in light of the fact that we see God's face today in the new covenant age?

Dave Rich explores love as a Christian virtue flowing from God's eternal nature within the Trinity. This love extends from the Father's love for the Son before creation, and it reaches believers through union with Christ. Christian love toward God manifests primarily through obedience to His commandments and covenant loyalty. Love as a Christian virtue includes profound gratitude for redemption from spiritual slavery. The biblical word "yada" connects thanksgiving with worship, demonstrating how love as a Christian virtue expresses itself through constant thankfulness and joyful recognition of God's providence.Download Notes | Download Presentation ★ Support this podcast ★
Audio Sermon for Sunday November 30, 2025
Today’s Bible Verse:“Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.” — 1 Corinthians 13:6 (NIV) This verse points us to a love that isn’t shaped by emotion or preference but by God’s character. True love refuses to celebrate what harms, divides, or deceives. Instead, it finds joy in what is right, pure, and aligned with God’s truth. In a world that often blurs the lines, this kind of love stands steady—choosing integrity over convenience and commitment over compromise. It’s the love we receive from God and the love He calls us to reflect.

Goulet encourages listeners to embrace spiritual maturity by prioritizing love over displays of power, highlighting that love is the lasting force that sustains faith, community, and personal growth. The episode concludes with a prayer for a revival of love within the church and its membersTh
Sermon Handout 1 Corinthians 13:8–13 (ESV) 8 Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as forknowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when the perfect comes, the partial will passaway. 11 When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave upchildish ways. 12 For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I havebeen fully known. 13 So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
Everyone longs to be loved — but not all love heals. In this message from 1 Corinthians 13, Pastor Terry shows us the “more excellent way,” revealing what real, Christ-shaped love looks like. This kind of love is patient, kind, steady, and sacrificial… a love that doesn't quit, doesn't retaliate, and doesn't keep score. When the Holy Spirit works this love into our lives, it transforms how we treat people, how we respond to hurt, and how we reflect Jesus to the world.
