Authentic Christianity is more than just agreeing with doctrine or avoiding sin; it is a transformed life marked by obedience, radical love, and abiding in Christ. Only through His power in us, can we overcome the pull of the world and live with our eyes fixed on eternity.

"On July 21, 2020, it seemed that everything we'd experienced and labored over during our 40 years of married life was about to play into a story more grand than we could have ever written on our own. I was wearing a T-shirt I'd found at a garage sale that read, “The Adventure Begins”, and we'd just finished our “goodbye lunch” with a close friend. Just before we pulled out to our new life as nomads, she snapped the last pre-nomad photo of us next to our van. It was about 2 p.m. when we started our engines to our special nomad song—the Live at Bonnaroo recording of “Free/Into The Mystic” that begins with an epic violin solo and lands gently on the lyrics:We live out in our old vanTravel all across this landJust me and youWe'll end up hand in handSomewhere down on the sandJust me and youJust as freeFree as we'll ever be...And just like that, I became a free-range human; Mark's Paragina ― a female pilgrim. To the left was my Codega—the one who would walk along the streets in front of me with a spiritual lantern to light murky pathways and scare away the darkness..."In 2024, Cindy's book about her and Mark's experiences living a full-time Van life was published by One Stone Biblical Resources.

In this powerful sermon, Pastor Karl draws a vivid parallel between the Revolutionary War's militiamen and minutemen and the life of a Christ follower, urging us to live as dedicated “minutemen” of faith. Reflecting on his recent trip to Boston, Karl connects the historic battles of Lexington and Concord to the call in 2 Timothy 2 to be strong in God's grace, not our own strength. He challenges us to flee from what dishonors God and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace with unwavering commitment. Using Paul's metaphors of a soldier, athlete, and farmer, Karl emphasizes enduring suffering, staying focused on God's mission, and avoiding distractions that entangle us. This message inspires us to embody authentic faith, rely on God's unmerited favor, and live purposefully for Christ's kingdom, ensuring our lives align with His calling.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

What is authentic Christianity, and am I an authentic Christian? That might sound like the start of a guilt trip, but it's not. Christianity is meant to be a way of living with Christ (it was literally called "The Way" by early believers!). This way is not just for a "super spiritual" few, it's not an end to fun and freedom, and it's not a theological quiz. In the "After + Math" in Acts 4, we're given three ways normal people live out authentic Christianity. So, if you're normal (or not!), this is for you. First time listening to our podcast?

Ever felt like you're just going through the motions in your faith? In this challenging episode, Pastor Derek Holmes invites us to an uncomfortable dinner party recorded in Luke 11:37-12:3. Jesus, as the guest of honor, directly confronts his Pharisee hosts, revealing their hypocrisy. He exposes how they meticulously cultivate an outward appearance of righteousness while their hearts remain untouched by true holiness. But the Pharisees aren't the only ones under scrutiny. Jesus then turns to the Scribes, the religious lawyers of the day, and uncovers how their rigid legalism was burdening and oppressing the very people they were meant to guide. Both groups, Pastor Holmes explains, were practicing a "tainted religion" – one that prioritized external show over internal transformation. Join us for "Behind the Mask" as Pastor Holmes unpacks this potent encounter. Discover why true Christianity must go more than skin deep. It's a call to examine our own hearts and ensure our faith is genuine, gives all honor and glory to Him, and fully welcomes His transformative presence in every aspect of our lives. This is a lesson for us all on the vital importance of authenticity in our walk with Christ.

True faith extends far beyond religious practices and traditions, focusing instead on a genuine relationship with Jesus Christ. While many rely on religious labels, biblical knowledge, and rituals as proof of their faith, these external elements alone don't guarantee salvation. Authentic Christianity manifests through internal transformation, Spirit-led change, and seeking God's approval rather than human recognition. The key lies in moving beyond mere religious performance to experience genuine heart transformation through a personal relationship with Jesus.

Have you ever been fully open and authentic with a group of Christians? We often shy away from anything that we think may make us look less than perfect, but why do we do this? In the sermon today, John discusses the end of Mark 12 where Jesus addresses the inauthentic actions of the religious leaders.

Pastor Brian Howard January 26, 2025 1 John 2:5-3:14

Sweat was pouring off Peter as he moved to protect Jesus. As Roman soldiers held the one who had been labeled a heretic, Peter drew a sword and cut off a soldier's ear. And he was stunned when Jesus told him to put the sword away. You see Jesus knew infinitely more than Peter, or anyone else. He knew the end from the beginning, and He knew He had an agenda to see through to the end, and Peter couldn't see that. And impulsively He moved to change the facts on the ground.And that's so typical of us as humans. The authentic Christian wants to do something to fix things or change the world. The theologian Francis Schaeffer wrote a whole book titled “How Should We Then Live” on the role of a Christian in the modern world. And there are arguments over whether America is still a Christian nation, or whether postmodernism has won the day.But what does the Bible say about being a witness in the world? Romans 12:2 says, “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” Notice it doesn't say engage. We're in fact told not to become like the world in all its anti-God stuff. Yet we also know one of the last things Jesus said to His disciples before He ascended into heaven was that we should go into all the world and make disciples. The Apostle Paul made an interesting observation in 1 Corinthians 9. He said that he was free from conformity to the world—it had nothing he coveted—but that he chose to be a servant to all, so that his example might win some to Christ.In Hebrews 13, we're told to practice hospitality. And this echoes many Old Testament passages, too. The idea is a believer is to be an example of what life with God looks like in hopes it will draw unbelievers. And this must be done with sincerity though, especially in our jaded modern culture. First Corinthians 10 tells us whatever we do, do it for the glory of God alone.To sum up, the Bible tells us to absolutely live in this world and be appealing to people, but to do all this while holding onto our convictions. Balancing being a gospel witness, while also being seen as personable, is the approach for our modern world. Let's pray.Father God, you've given us direction for all that we do. Help us to continually have a burden for the lost and to always remember we're to be salt and light for a hurting world. It's in Jesus' name we pray, amen.Change your shirt, and you can change the world! Save 15% Off your entire purchase of faith-based apparel + gifts at Kerusso.com with code KDD15.

Nobody wants to die of a disease they didn't know they had. When it comes to our salvation, Jesus doesn't want anyone unsure of their condition. Jesus will help us examine ourselves to see if we are in the faith.1) The nature of an authentic Christian2) The evidence of an authentic Christian3) The hope of an authentic ChristianText: Luke 6:43-49

Pastor Shawn Thornton January 5, 2025 1 John 1:1-4

Today Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar address the spiritual condition of people with no religious affiliation, often referred to as Nones. While many Nones engage in some form of spiritual practice, they often struggle with loneliness and a lack of community. They tend to avoid civic duties, like voting, and seek fulfillment outside traditional church settings. Historically, when Christianity becomes culturally popular, many false converts join churches, drawn by cultural trends rather than genuine faith. Today's churches face similar challenges, with the temptation and access to sin greater than ever, leading to a generation that is increasingly anti-Christian.The guys highlight the need for authenticity within the church. Many people are disenchanted with lifeless Christianity and seek real, meaningful conversations. There's a call for churches to present the gospel in its pure form, planting seeds and trusting God to work. Authenticity, rather than feel-good entertainment, is essential to reach those seeking transcendence in a materialistic world. The gospel, with its beauty and power, meets this deep craving.Many in this generation have never heard the gospel, reflecting a cultural shift toward self-centeredness and a lack of exposure to biblical truths. Apologetics has evolved, focusing less on evidence and more on the beauty and power of the Word of God. The Bible is the ultimate authority, addressing the human condition and guilt that other religions ignore. People often come to faith not through logic but through the beauty of the gospel story. As storytelling creatures, humans resonate deeply with the narrative of redemption.Ray emphasizes that people naturally love darkness over light, but the will to live and a sense of conscience can be stirred by sharing the law and gospel. Christians must persevere in evangelism, trusting God to work through their efforts. Even when faced with hostility, the response should be faith-filled persistence, meeting negativity with grace and truth. Evangelism requires stepping out in faith, focusing on God's sovereignty, and making much of His holiness.The simplicity of the gospel is powerful: Jesus, God the Son, humbled Himself to save humanity. When believers are faithful in sharing, people are often receptive, longing for truth. The call is to prioritize evangelism over personal comfort, trusting that God will move and stir hearts. Ultimately, reaching the lost is an urgent and beautiful task that requires faith, courage, and reliance on God.Send us a textThanks for listening!
