Today's battlefield: the over-sexualization of the Western church. Churches host drag bingo. Sanctuaries fly rainbow flags. Comfort, compromise, and cancel culture have replaced repentance and holiness. Leadership is determined by ideology, not obedience. And those who stand against the tide? They pay a price.But hear this: Jesus is STILL Lord. Scripture does NOT bend. Silence is complicity, comfort is cowardice, and God is calling His leaders to stand and fight.What will YOU do when your moment of truth arrives?Buckle up. This one's raw, real, and relentlessly rooted in the authority of Christ."Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will." –Romans 12:2Episode Highlights:02:19 – If you're looking for safe Christianity, stop right now. Because today's episode ain't for you, bucko. But if you're hungry for truth, clarity, courage and conviction, if you believe the church is called to transform the world rather than be transformed by it, then you're exactly where you need to be.06:36 – Yet what we're witnessing is the exact opposite. The church is being conformed to the world's sexual ethics. Not transformed, formed by God's holiness. Instead of shaping culture, the church is chasing it, terrified of being left behind, desperate to appear relevant, and unwilling to endure the cost of obedience.13:09 – This is how churches arrive at a place where drag performances feel normal, where sexual ideology dictates leadership decisions, and where biblical objections are treated as threats. This didn't happen overnight. It happened because too many leaders believe small compromises were harmless. And compromise is never content to remain small. It always demands more and more and more. And now the church is facing the consequences of decades of choosing comfort over courage.Connect with Paul M. NeubergerWebsite

Transforming Perspectives | Intriguing, is the biblical portrait of the futuristic mile high city descending from the heavens called the New Jerusalem. Inquisitively, most believers ponder earnestly of the significance of its appearance on earth, showcasing divine wonders of the glory of its inhabitants, named ZION.Biblical narratives foretell of the people chosen to become the stronghold of the glory of God, Zion. The foundation and foreshadowing of the multitude of nations, identifying the children of God, presented as pillars and copiousness of the holiness of God's glory. In Hebrew called ‘‎כּבוד' ‎כּבוד which is pronounced ‘kâbôd kâbôd in English. The city of David in which God's presence once dwelled in the temple, “Nevertheless David captured  the strong hold (fortress) of Zion: the same is the city of David.”   2 Samuel 5:7,  The Amplified Bible.Jerusalem, the city built upon a mount, high above its enemies, adorned with the riches of God's glory.  Representing the splendour of God revealed in his people as luminaries shining in the beauty of his Glory, ‎צבי in Hebrew, pronounced ‘tseb-ee', describing a status of prominence.  Also, foretold by the prophet Isaiah of the spiritual condition of the people called Zion, faithfully standing as luminaries in the beauty of Lord our God, exclaiming, “In that day shall the LORD of hosts be for a crown of glory, and for a diadem of beauty, unto the residue of his people. And for a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment, and for strength to them that turn the battle to the gate.”  Isaiah 28:6, King James Version.Formidably, is the term ‘doxa' in Greek, pronounced ‘dox'-ah' meaning honor, praise and worship from which the English word doxology is derived. John witnessed  the descent of Zion, the New Jerusalem in the splendor of the glory of God, exclaiming, “And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great, high mountain, and showed me the holy city Jerusalem, coming down  out of heaven from God, having the glory of God, and its radiance like a most rare jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal.” Revelation 21:10-1, American Standard Version.

Week 2 | The King Has Come: Peace

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

Heaven is not just a place. It is a wedding. In this episode, “Revelation 21: The Wedding at the End of the World,” we explore one of the most beloved chapters in the Bible and discover that it is not only about streets of gold and every tear being wiped away – it is about a Bridegroom, a Bride, and a wedding that all of history has been moving toward. We walk through the ancient Jewish wedding pattern – proposal, betrothal, procession, ceremony, and feast – and show how each stage mirrors the gospel story: Eden as the first wedding and Sinai as God's proposal The Cross as the bridal price where Jesus gives His life for His Bride The Holy Spirit as the shoshbin and kallah teacher, preparing us while we wait The New Jerusalem descending as a radiant Bride, and God dwelling with His people forever Along the way we look at: Why the Judge of Revelation 20 is revealed as the Bridegroom in Revelation 21 What it means that God will make “all things new” How the “Bride of Christ” imagery shapes our hope, our holiness, and our mission How to live engaged, faithful, hopeful, and radiant while we wait for the Groom If you have ever thought the gospel was just about “going to heaven someday,” this episode invites you to see that salvation is not just relocation but reunion – a covenant relationship restored.

Fr. Dom calls all Catholics to wake up and stand firm. The Church is not an institution to critique from a distance. She is a living, supernatural reality. She is the Bride of Christ. When you attack her, you attack Him. When you defend her, you honor Him. This homily is a direct charge for Catholics to reject passivity, confront the idols in their own lives, and reclaim their place as protectors of God's household.In this homily, you are confronted with the reality that the Church is not optional. She is not a social club, a human institution, or a cultural relic. She is divine. She is the unsinkable ship. She is the Bride of Christ, brought to life through His blood and water. Attacking the Church is attacking the Bride of God. You are called to honor her, defend her, and deepen your own fidelity to her.You'll hear how Ezekiel's prophecy points directly to Christ's crucifixion, how Jesus' cleansing of the Temple reveals the righteous anger of God, and how St. Paul's warning about the destruction of the temple applies to every single man today. The message is simple: if you refuse to fight, you will lose the soul entrusted to you. Christ did not die so men could drift into lukewarmness. He died to raise men into warriors who defend His Bride.THREE POWERFUL QUOTES FROM THE TRANSCRIPT“The Catholic Church is the unsinkable ship on a stormy sea. The gates of hell shall not prevail against us.”“If someone said your wife was evil, you would cleanse the temple. That is exactly what Jesus did.”“If anyone destroys the temple, God will destroy that person. Jesus is not a pacifist. He loves us too much.”KEY TAKEAWAY FOR MEN TO APPLY IMMEDIATELY Identify one idol in your life — anything that steals time, devotion, or obedience from Christ — and remove it with the same zeal that Christ used to cleanse the temple.

I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God.” For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.Sermon OutlineThe picture of the church as a bride (v7) helps us see that the message of God's love is profound (and includes commitment, sacrifice, joy)1.

We have taken you for granted. We have assumed a contractual relationship where we have served you in exchange for things we want from you. We have presumed upon your patience by persisting in what you have warned us not to do. We have failed to trust you. We have sinned in ways that have dishonored people whom you have made. Forgive all of our sins. Wash us clean. Show us again your grace and favor, as we strive to put off the old ways and put on what is fitting for those awaiting the great celebration you have invited us to. We pray this through Christ, the one who loved us and who alone is worthy. Amen.Questions for ReflectionDo you find the message of God's love appealing? What skepticism, cynicism, fear or incredulity do you have towards this message? Why?Does it feel like you relate to God under a contract (a practical relationship, a sense of duty, a foundation of exchange, etc.) or a covenant (a personal commitment, a desire to be faithful, a foundation of love)? How does your framework shape your expectations, your experience of God, your interpretation of life events, etc.?Does love typically include joy, commitment and sacrifice? Are all three necessary? Are they always present? What else does real love need?Why is it important to recognize that God is patient and faithful with unfaithful people?Why is Jesus pictured as a lamb in the book of Revelation? What other passages of the Bible help you understand why Jesus is the “lamb of God”?How is a marriage celebration a helpful image for understanding where God is leading history? What does the metaphor of the church as a bride imply about how we are to live? What does it look like to get changed/dressed if the garment is “righteous deeds”? Do you believe the future is hopeful, and that a joyous occasion awaits? Why or why not? How are you currently affected by what you believe about the future?

Christ is the head of the Church. The Catechism describes Jesus' relationship to his Church as “a personal relationship…expressed by the image of bridegroom and bride.” Fr. Mike points out how important this is by reminding us that, underneath all of the doctrine and the dogma, God is madly in love with you. If we always remember this love, everything else will fall into place. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 792-796. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/ciy Please note: The Catechism of the Catholic Church contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.
