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

If you know your faith, you'll be strong in your faith -- but only if you "do" your faith. The intent, the goal of this series is to enable you -- and me -- to know our faith, to be strong in our faith, and to "do" our faith. Then, we'll understand how and why some of the most influential Christians who have ever lived: Augustine, John Crysostom, Martin Luther, John Wesley among them -- so highly extolled Paul's Letter to the Romans!

We might call this the second part of my introduction to our series in Romans -- much-needed due to the awesome depth of this book.In fact, the great poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge called Romans “the most profound work in existence.” The goal is simple: If you know your faith, you'll be strong in your faith -- but only if you "do" your faith (and I include myself).

Bob Schwahn | Lead Pastor | November 23, 2025 Referenced Scripture: Acts 1:3-8, 1 Peter 2:12, John 4:39-42 Reflection Questions: 1. Was there something from the sermon that stood out to you? Explain. 2. When you hear that you are God's plan A to TELL the world that Jesus is King and to SHOW what the world what the Kingdom of Jesus looks like, how do you respond to that? Thoughts, emotions, desires??? Why? 3. How have you seen God use you as a witness for Jesus and His Kingdom? How would you desire to see God use you? Explain. 4. What challenges or barriers have you faced in being a witness for Jesus? What would it take for you to overcome those challenges? 5. Being a ‘witness' means we SHOW and TELL. We SHOW the world what the Kingdom of Jesus looks like and we TELL the world how to make Jesus their King. Why is both SHOWING and TELLING essential to help people come to faith in Jesus and to follow Him? 6. In Jesus' Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7) he outlines what His Kingdom looks like. Read through that and make observations of what the world looks like when Jesus is King.Is that a compelling vision of the world to you? Do you imagine it would be compelling to others? Explain. 7. When telling the story of your life of faith, why would it be important to share authentically (joys, challenges, questions, failures, hope)? What is the cost of not being authentic about our faith? 8. Read John 4 about the Samaritan women. What made her an unlikely candidate for being a witness for Jesus? How did God use her INVITE to change the world? 9. Read John 4:39-42 How could God use you to INVEST and INVITE someone in your world to “come and see” the King and the Kingdom?

Today on the Daily Nugget, Mike gives a brief summary of everything we've seen in the book of Romans, walking chapter by chapter through God's amazing plan of salvation. From our deep need to God's overflowing grace and the transformed life He calls us to live, Romans shows the fullness of the gospel. As we wrap up the journey, we declare with Paul: To God be the glory.

This holiday season, who can you bless or honor with God's love? Abi Byrd is a speaker and the author of an eight-week devotional, You Stand in Grace - Devotions for Walking in Faith. Abi has seen firsthand how the Gospel has transformed lives and how community plays an integral role in honoring the Lord and blessing other Christians. Her devotional focuses on the rich Gospel truths of Romans. She points out that the book of Romans has a community aspect to it, and how this serves as an example of how important a healthy church community dynamic is. We want to be able to love each other and gather together in the Holy Spirit, even if we disagree, Abi says. We can't do that if we're on an island all by ourselves! Serve others in your church and community and discover how you're blessed in the process.TAKEAWAYSRomans speaks very clearly about the marks of a true Christian, chief among them being lovePart of worshiping the Lord and honoring Him is coming together in fellowship with other believersWe should move toward people who are often excluded rather than awayWe will be living in community in heaven - get started now and reach out to those around you

God created the family, the church, and the government as institutions to bring divine order to our lives. But how do we live under these institutions while surrendering to the hand of God? Join us to learn more about our role as good citizens and good neighbors.

What does it mean to live set apart as a follower of Christ? Pastor Alyssa brings a practical word on Christian living in this week's installment of Romans.

Logan Holloman  |  Next Gen Pastor  |  November 16, 2025   Referenced Scripture: Romans 8:26–27, 2 Corinthians 12:8–10,  John 6:38–40, Matthew 6:10, Romans 8:34   Reflection Questions: 1. What does it mean that “the Spirit helps us in our weakness”? What kinds of weakness might Paul be referring to here?   2. Why do you think Paul includes himself when he says “helps us” instead of “helps you”? What does that reveal about humility and dependence?   3. In what areas of life do you feel your weakness most — physically, emotionally, spiritually, relationally?   4. How do you usually respond when you feel weak — do you hide it, push through, or bring it before God?   5. Have you ever had a time when you didn't know what to pray for? How did God meet you in that moment?   6. What comfort does it bring to know that both Jesus and the Holy Spirit are interceding for you?   7. Who might God be prompting you to intercede for right now — to pray for, reach out to, or stand beside?   8. “Prayer isn't performance — it's participation.” How can you practice that kind of prayer this week?   What's your next step? * Connect: We'd love to connect with you!

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on November 2, 2025) The preaching of the gospel is the greatest privilege we have as regenerated children of God. It is primarily through preaching the gospel that those of God’s little lost sheep, who have already been born again, finally hear and embrace the good news of Christ’s...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on November 2, 2025) Having examined in some detail the two types of zeal described in the first half of Romans 10, the one being a sincere but misplaced zeal and the other being an informed and proper zeal, we turn now to the normal way by which a...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on October 26, 2025) As we began to see yesterday, Romans 10 begins by speaking of a people that have “zeal of God.” We have already learned that this was a zeal given to them by God, and thus we can conclude that they are regenerated children of God....

Bob Schwahn  |  Lead Pastor  |  November 9, 2025 Referenced Scripture:  Romans 5:3-5, Romans 8:15-35, Psalm 34:18, Hebrews 5:7-8, Hebrews 4:15-16   Reflection Questions:  1. How have you experienced pain and suffering in this life?  How have you seen suffering in the lives of people that you love?  Share some specific examples from your life.   2. What questions come to your heart and mind when you walk through pain and suffering?  What questions do you have about God when you are suffering?   3. How does suffering affect your view of God?  Do you experience Him as closer or further away?  Do you tend to move closer to Him or do you tend to move away?  Explain.   4. Read Romans 8:2828 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.   In what ways have you seen pain and suffering either challenge or grow your faith?   How has suffering produced good things in your life?  How has it changed you for the better?  Share some specific examples.   5. How would you describe the biblical practice of lament?  Why do you think lament is so prominent in the psalms?  What does this tell us about the reality and normalcy of experiencing suffering?   6. What benefits can you see in praying laments to God?  How have you found praying lament helpful in your life?  What has been your experience?   7. Recall the illustration from the sermon of the hand in front of your face (circumstances/suffering):Why is it important to focus on the hand (name and acknowledge the reality of your suffering) and focus on the distance (God's character/promises/faithfulness and future redemption of all things)?   8. Read Psalm 22 (a psalm of lament)What parts focus on the pain/suffering of life (hand) and what parts focus on the faithfulness of God (distance)?  Why do you think it is important to identify and name both of those clearly when we are praying lament?    9. What is a situation of pain and suffering in your life right now?  Write a short psalm (prayer) of lament focusing both on the challenge and complaint as well as the character of God and your trust in Him...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on October 26, 2025) As we began to see yesterday, Paul teaches in Romans 10 that there are some people who are regenerated yet have not embraced the gospel message. These Jews were going about to establish their own righteousness, and we saw yesterday that they were trying to...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on October 26, 2025) As we move into the tenth chapter of Romans, Paul sets forth his zeal for his Jewish brethren to be “saved.” But the question we must always ask when we see the term “saved” is, “Saved from what?” Paul makes it clear in this passage,...

Bob Schwahn | Lead Pastor | November 2, 2025 Referenced Scripture: Romans 8:1, Romans 8:38-39, Romans 8:22-25, John 1:14, 1 Corinthians 6:19, Matthew 6:9-10, John 14:12, Romans 8:29, 1 Corinthians 3:16-17, Acts 1:8, Matthew 13:31-33, John 14:4-5, John 18:36 Reflection Questions: 1. Read Romans 8:22-25 Paul describes that we along with the whole creation groan inwardly for the redemption of all things. How specifically have you experienced the groaning of this life? How have you experienced the longing for heaven and redemption of all things? How have you experienced times of the Kingdom of heaven breaking into your life? 2. 1 Corinthians 6:19 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? In this current age we are the temples of the Holy Spirit and God's plan to bring heaven to earth.How do you see God using you to bring heaven to earth? What makes that challenging for you? What would you need to change in order to see God use you more? 3. John 14:12 Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. What did Jesus mean that we would do greater things than he had been doing? 4. Take some time to read briefly over the Sermon on the Mount. (Matthew 5-7) This is Jesus teaching on what the Kingdom of Heaven looks like. What are some things you observe as values of God's Kingdom? Where do you see places that God needs to change you to reflect these values? What is the role of the Holy Spirit in bringing about this change in the life of a follower of Jesus? 5. What is one tangible way you can bring the Kingdom of heaven to earth in every area of your life?

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on October 12, 2025) In our study of the first objection to the doctrine of election, we come to a couple of verses that some propose to be a problem for those of us who believe in God’s sovereign grace.

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on October 12, 2025) Whenever the doctrine of election is discussed, some objections inevitably arise. Here in Romans 9, Paul anticipates a couple of these objections. We will deal with the first objection today, which is usually phrased somewhat like this: God just wouldn’t be right, or fair, if...
