Join us as Pastor Chris continues our new series, All Four Quarters: Going All In for the Win in the Christian Life. This week, he talks about the basics of the Christian life.

You may not deny God, but do you diminish Him? In this episode, Costi Hinn examines how a small or distorted view of God can shape the way we live, exposing the gap between what we confess about God and how we actually function day to day.

Choosing The Better Portion | Luke 10:38-42 | Week 3 of RED LETTERSWhat happens when doing things for Jesus becomes more important than simply being with Jesus?In week three of our RED LETTERS series, we turn to Luke 10:38–42 and the familiar story of Mary and Martha. Through the words of Jesus, we discover that it's possible to be busy serving, doing good things, and even welcoming Jesus into our lives—while becoming distracted from Jesus Himself.Martha was serving Jesus, but her service had become anxiety, frustration, and resentment. Mary chose to sit at Jesus' feet and listen. Jesus called what she chose the “good portion.”This message explores what it means to slow down, pay attention to what is happening within us, and remember that our identity isn't found in what we accomplish for God. We don't work our way into the Father's love; we live and serve from the love we have already received.In this message:- How good things can become distractions when they pull us away from Jesus- Why an unattended inner life can turn service into anxiety and resentment- How Jesus lovingly meets us in the places we're struggling- What it means to choose the “better portion”- Why receiving from Jesus must come before doing for Jesus- How abiding with Jesus becomes a lifelong practice“But one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her.” — Luke 10:42 (ESV)The invitation is simple: First, receive. Then, respond. First, be with Him. Then, work from that relationship. First, remember that you are loved. Then, go love others.In to heal. Out to love.If this message encouraged you, like, subscribe, and share it with someone who needs the reminder that they don't have to hold everything together.#RedLetters #ChoosingTheBetterPortion #Luke10 #MaryAndMartha #Jesus #Abiding #SpiritualGrowth #EmotionallyHealthySpirituality #ChristianSermon #RiverviewChristianThis week's message is from our Creative Pastor, J.C.

We are motivated to live for Christ as we think about the power of God, which is understood by faith in Jesus Christ. Old Testament Lesson: Exodus 24:9-18 https://media.urclearning.org/audio/uploader/tm-life-09-27-2026-20260928002135.mp3

In this episode of Kingdom Now, Pastor Karl walks through Matthew 25:1-30, where Jesus, days before the cross, tells his disciples how to live while they wait for his return. Karl opens with a personal story about the excitement of waiting on a renovation, and how it exposed how little joyful anticipation he had for Christ's return. Building on Jesus' warning in Matthew 24 that no one knows the day or the hour, he gives two reasons to live with joyful anticipation: it motivates holy living, and it recalibrates how we see our lives and the world around us. He then explores the Parable of the Ten Virgins, explaining the stages of a Jewish wedding and how they picture Christ's return, and teaching that it's possible to look ready without actually being ready. Next, through the Parable of the Talents, Karl offers five practical observations about stewardship before making the deeper point that the most precious thing entrusted to us is the gospel itself. He closes with a challenge to be ready rather than just look ready, starting with repentance and putting sin to death. 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

In this powerful episode of PTSD of the Christian Life, Pastor Brent Snook tackles one of the most subtle yet destructive sins in the Christian life — jealousy. Drawing from Proverbs 14:30, he reveals how envy works its way inward, rotting the bones and poisoning every relationship it touches.Pastor Brent identifies four traps that make us vulnerable: the trap of Prosperity — coveting what others have; the trap of Power — resenting those in authority; the trap of Performance — brooding over another's success; and the trap of People — where jealousy slithers right through the front door of our own homes.He then exposes the truth about jealousy — that it ultimately destroys not just its victims, but the one who carries it. From Cain to King Saul to Daniel's accusers, the pattern is unmistakable.But there is hope. Pastor Brent closes with four practical steps to triumph over jealousy: Pronounce it as sin, Pray for those you envy, Praise God for your own blessings, and Pursue love — because as Scripture reminds us, love does not envy.

What does knowing yourself have to do with following Jesus? Christian self-knowledge has nothing to do with vanity or obsession with ourselves but about learning to see ourselves truthfully in the light of Christ. The closer we draw to God, the more clearly we begin to recognize both who he created us to be and the places within us that still need his grace. In this first episode of our series on knowing ourselves, we lay the foundation for the importance of self knowledge. We talk about the difference between our identity and our personality, the danger of self-deception, and why recognizing our weaknesses doesn't have to lead to shame or discouragement. Instead, honest self-knowledge can become an invitation to deeper freedom and transformation in Christ.

A Theology of Suffering | John 9:1-7 | Week 2 of RED LETTERSWhy does suffering happen? Where is God when we're hurting? And how should we respond when someone else is walking through suffering?In Week 2 of our RED LETTERS series, we turn to John 9:1–7 (NIV), where Jesus encounters a man who had been blind from birth. Rather than getting caught up in the question of why this suffering happened, Jesus redirects His disciples toward what God is doing—and toward an opportunity to bring healing, mercy, and love.RED LETTERS explores passages from the Gospels where Jesus spoke, discovering how His words can still challenge, transform, and shape our lives today.In A Theology of Suffering, we wrestle honestly with the reality of suffering and learn how to trust God when life hurts. But we also consider the other side of suffering: What do we do when we're not the ones hurting? How do we enter into the suffering of others when our own lives are going well?Charles Spurgeon captured this challenge beautifully:“It is ours, not to speculate, but to perform acts of mercy and love, according to the tenor of the gospel.”Jesus calls us away from simply asking questions about suffering and toward being present, compassionate, and practical—bringing the love of Christ to people who are hurting.Sometimes we may not get the answers we're looking for. But Jesus shows us a better question: How can we love, serve, and bring the presence of God into someone's suffering?If this message encouraged you, like, subscribe, and share it with someone who needs to hear it.#RedLetters #TheologyOfSuffering #Suffering #Jesus #John9 #Faith #Hope #Christianity #Church #RiverviewChristianThis week's message is from our Family Pastor, Pat Kenna.Support the show

What if the thing you worry about most reveals what you're actually devoted to? In this week's PTSD of the Christian Life, Pastor Brent Snook tackles one of America's top seven anxieties — and Jesus has a surprisingly practical answer. Three steps. Three words. One passage that could change everything. Tune in.

You know the argument you make with yourself. Nobody's perfect, and you've always been susceptible to this. In Romans 6, Paul says that argument belongs to the person you no longer are, because Jesus defeated sin once and for all, and sin has no claim on you.

Pastor Jim explores what it truly means to be a disciple of Jesus. In Mark 1, Jesus' call to His first followers shows that discipleship is more than believing the right things or making a one-time decision. It is a lifelong journey of knowing God, lovingly walking in His way, and allowing Jesus to shape how we live, work, relate, and serve in the ordinary moments of life.

Do you ever worry that you're not growing in your faith? Are you unsure of what your next spiritual step should be?

God's jealousy is not sinful, insecure, or possessive. It is His holy zeal for His glory and His covenant relationship with His people. In this episode, Costi Hinn explains what it means for God to be El Qanna, the jealous God, and why He refuses to share the worship that belongs exclusively to Him.

We don't drift into faithfulness by accident — we're formed by it, one small choice at a time. What catches our eye captures our heart; what captures our heart drives our body; and what drives our body shapes our whole experience of life. The goal was never to balance these pieces, but to let them become so woven together that this way of living simply feels normal. It starts with our default thoughts, which quietly set the patterns we'll follow. And obedience is the thread running through it all — doing what God wants until, over time, it becomes what we actually want.

Emmanuel, God who is with us. As you listen to today's message from Pastor Ricky, he explains to you that God is a God who draws near to you. He's not someone who's far removed from the things that worry you and cause you to stress. Pastor Ricky emphasizes that God loved the world so much that He gave His only Son. Anyone who believes in Him doesn't just journey in this life alone. They have the power of Christ dwelling within them. Jesus is near to all of His followers. With Him, you're never alone.

Gabe and Annie Rench are back for round two on the biggest trend in health and fitness right now: GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Zepbound. A year after their first Ozempic episode blew up, they revisit the topic with fresh eyes — why so many people (maybe one in three women, by their guess) feel like they have no other option, what the British Medical Journal's newest research says about weight regain after stopping, and why "just eat less" is the most reductionist advice in modern medicine.
