In this episode, Pastor Karl dives into Romans 9, kicking off a deep exploration of God's plan, specifically as it relates to the nation of Israel. Providing a roadmap for Romans: chapters 1-3 address God's wrath, 3-8 celebrate His grace, 9-11 reveal His plan, and 12-16 guide us in living out His will. Romans 9 focuses on Israel's past, drawing heavily from Old Testament history—Abraham, Isaac, Ishmael, Esau, Jacob, Moses, and the prophets—to show that God's choice of His people is rooted in grace, not merit. He explains how Paul, heartbroken for his fellow Jews, underscores that being chosen by God doesn't depend on ethnicity or works, but on faith in His promise. From the adoption of the Jews to the coming of Christ—fully God and fully human—Pastor Karl illustrates how God's grace extends to both Jews and Gentiles alike.  With vivid examples, like Pharaoh's hardened heart and Hosea's unfaithful wife Gomer, he challenges listeners to choose a soft, responsive heart toward God's mercy. This episode is a rich blend of biblical insight, personal storytelling, and a call to embrace the transformative simplicity of faith.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

A @Christadelphians Video: "From the Bible Magazine Archives".Title: TRUMP IS BACK! Let's get the Bibles out! A videocast Discussion by Bible Students John and PaulDescription: Join us in this exciting episode of The Bible Magazine Videocast as we delve into the implications of Donald Trump's return to office with Bible students John and Paul. Recorded just weeks after Trump's inauguration, this discussion explores the political earthquake his policies are causing, especially in relation to Israel and Middle Eastern affairs. We discuss how these events might be interpreted through the lens of scripture, considering the possibility of Trump's actions heralding significant biblical prophecies. From the peace plan for Gaza to the potential annexation of parts of the West Bank, we unpack the surprising turns and how they align with biblical predictions.

In today's episode we will focus our attention on a group that claims to be the real Christians, but as we will show today the Jehovah's Witnesses are not Christians. The Jehovah's Witnesses originated in the late 19th century with Charles Taze Russell, an American preacher deeply interested in Bible prophecy. Here's a concise history of the organization:Part I: The HistoryOrigins and Founder:Charles Taze Russell (1852–1916): Russell was influenced by Adventist teachings, particularly their focus on Christ's second coming. Disillusioned with mainstream Christianity, he began his own Bible study group in the 1870s in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.1870s The group now known as Jehovah's Witnesses was initially called Bible Students or International Bible Students Association (IBSA) during its early years. This name reflected their focus on studying the Bible and disseminating their teachings.Publication of Zion's Watch Tower (1879): Russell launched this magazine to spread his interpretations of the Bible, emphasizing end-time prophecies and the imminent return of Christ.Why was it called Watchtower? The name "Watchtower" comes from the Bible, where watchtowers were used as places to keep watch and warn of danger. In ancient times, people would stand in tall towers to look out for enemies or protect their vineyards from animals.Jehovah's Witnesses use the name Watchtower because they believe they are like spiritual watchmen. They think their job is to warn people about the coming of God's Kingdom and the end of the current world system (what they call Armageddon). They see themselves as sounding the alarm and helping people prepare for what they believe is God's judgment.The name also reflects their focus on being alert and vigilant about spreading their teachings, which they view as essential for saving others. The magazine The Watchtower became their main way to share these warnings and spread their message worldwide.Formation of the Organization:Incorporation as the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society (1884): Russell formally organized his followers under this name, focusing on mass publication and distribution of literature.Today's Stats and Organizational Structure8.6 million members today (2023)Governing Body: A centralized leadership that claims exclusive authority in interpreting the Bible.Emphasis on door-to-door evangelism, distribution of "Watchtower" and "Awake!" magazines.Rutherford's Leadership (1916–1942): After Russell's death, Rutherford took control....

You may have heard that we are in a drought and that a famine is imminent in our country. The conditions were very similar in Israel, but the Lord God provided clean water for a city by putting salt into the polluted water and by using flour meal to heal a pot of poisoned soup for some Bible Students! The Bible assures us that even in difficult and scary times where our very life's resources may run low, or be compromised, our God knows how to provide for his people. He even said that the righteous would have enough to be gracious lenders to others during difficult times. Do you trust Him to provide ALL your needs? The Psamlist David said, I've never seen the righteous forsaken nor his descendants begging for bread. We can trust in the Lord our Provider.
