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

The original assignment given to the disciples by Jesus is to be the standard we live our lives from. We feel that God is inviting us to remember the fundamentals of the Great Commission. In this message, Bill Johnson calls us back to the original assignment Jesus entrusted to His disciples—a commission meant to be carried through every generation, not diluted by time or compromised by culture. Authority was never lost in God's kingdom, and it's our duty to align our awareness and lives with that truth. How does living from this truth impact the level of authority we walk in? How is righteousness and justice expressed from that place? What do we begin to value and what motivates us when we're aligned with the reality of God's authority? This sermon invites us into a renewed vision of collaborative partnership with God, where prayer moves mountains, lies lose their power, and the Holy Spirit is no longer a background presence but the primary Person of our lives. We bless you as you listen along with us!

Our love for God is what leads us to our truest expression of worship. Yet sometimes, even the most sacred topics can become familiar. Without meaning to, that familiarity can grow into complacency, leaving our hearts stagnant. In this message, Bill Johnson teaches on worship—not limited to the songs we sing, though powerful expressions, but down to the very heart of it all. What kind of worship does God truly desire? What moves His heart? What does He respond to? Receive fresh revelation and timeless wisdom rooted in Scripture and shaped through decades of stewarding a culture of worship that has impacted our house and countless lives around the world.

People of Judah - Struggling

On this episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, I explain why I've shifted to a neutral stance on the Israel-Iran conflict. While mainstream media pressures us to “pick a side,” Scripture tells a deeper story, one that's not bound by modern borders or politics.Christians are the true Israel, not by race or nation, but by faith in Christ. The Church is the chosen people of God, not a geopolitical state. So why are we being told that standing with the a government equals standing with God?We'll unpack the phrase “Judeo-Christian”—what it really means (and what it doesn't)—and discuss how religiously manipulative narratives can cloud our judgment. Supporting everything any group does (whether Jewish, Christian, or Muslim) is not biblical discernment. It's idolatry.None of us are perfect. Not every Christian represents Christ well, and not every Jew or Muslim represents their faith's ideals either. So let's step back, seek the truth, and refuse to be emotionally blackmailed into blind allegiance.--https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee

In this passage of scripture Paul found himself "pressed out of measure" and despaired for a moment even of his life! Being "pressed out of measure" takes on a great spiritual meaning: Being overwhelmed, burdened, experiencing extreme pressure beyond normalcy, a hardship or challenge, exceedingly intense. Even though the situation seems extreme it can be a means to grow spiritually: This teaches us to rely on God's strength and to develop a deeper trust in our Savior!

In this powerful message, Pastor Kris Vallotton unpacks what it means to be known in Heaven and feared in hell, charging the Church to become better acquainted with the spirit world. To fulfill the call of being a disciple of Jesus—one empowered by His authority—we will need a better understanding of how His world works. Throughout Scripture, we can find stories of people walking in miracles, signs, and wonders. There is a cause-and-effect that's possible between the physical world and the spiritual world, and we believe that through our connection to God and His anointing, we can better know the spirit. We pray that as you listen along, your time with the Lord is full of divine inspiration and a fresh outpouring of the Spirit of God.

Listen as Mark James preaches a sermon called Kingdom of Priests from Exodus 19:5 & 1 Peter 2:9.

For the commemoration of C.F.W. Walther, we read a condensed version of a sermon he delivered in 1842 entitled "Our Duty as Priests." What is the Priesthood of All Believers, and what duties do we have as people who have been "consecrated into the ministry" through our baptism?

The people of God are now the dwelling place of the presence of God. Pastor Jon breaks down the tabernacle and applies it to our relationship with the Lord.

Total surrender is the key.

This morning Sam continued in our study through the book of Exodus with Part 8. This is the audio podcast.

We finish our mini series on themes in the Old Testament by looking at the theme of "priests" that flows throughout the entire Old Testament and into the New Testament. We ask questions like,  "Who were the priests in the Old Testament that reveal the priestly role?" and "Why don't we have priests today... or do we?" Join us as we unpack this theme together.

Cedar Crest exists to glorify the triune God by exalting Him, edifying and equipping His Church, and evangelizing the world with His Gospel.

Have you been hurt by favoritism? If you haven’t, it’s because you are the favorite one and nobody likes you. Seriously, does God have favorites? That’s what we’re talking about in this message and you really need to hear this and so does everyone around you.

We become like the One we worship, for it is a surrender. Our highest calling is to worship God, in intimate spirit to Spirit communion. We love God by our (1) worship, and (2) works. Worship adds to us value (holiness), as God fills us with His life, activating our souls. Our true life flows out of our worship.
