Podcast appearances and mentions of christian maturity

In this honest and weighty message kicking off the Sermon on the Mount, Pastor Karl walks through the Beatitudes—the nine “blessed are” statements that reveal the heart attitudes Jesus demands of every true disciple. From spiritual poverty and mourning over sin to meekness, insatiable hunger for righteousness, mercy, purity of heart, peacemaking, and even rejoicing in persecution, these aren't optional extras; they're the non-negotiable “be-attitudes” that must mark every citizen of God's kingdom.When these attitudes shape us, we naturally become the salt of the earth and the light of the world—distinct from culture, preserving what is decaying, and shining so brightly that others see our good works and glorify our Father in heaven. A convicting reminder that following Jesus was never meant to look like the world around us.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

Ephesians 5v1-2 - "Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God."The greatest evidence of growth in Christ, is Love

1 Peter 2v2 - " Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation"Just us consuming milk is sufficient to cause a baby to begin performing required life processes, consuming the Word of God will make us begin to think and act God's way

1 John 2v12-13 - "I am writing to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven for his name's sake.I am writing to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning.I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one.I write to you, children, because you know the Father."What makes one grow to be a father in the faith is not only in overcoming sin, or merely knowing his spiritual strength: it is his intimacy.

Ephesians 4v13 - "until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ"Maturity in Christ is shown in how much of Jesus we reveal in the way we live

Discipleship is meant to take us somewhere, and that place is Christian Maturity - another way to say that is "Christ-likeness". Don't know what that looks like for you or for someone else? Listen for what the Bible says on this!

Brian launches our Abraham: Lessons in Maturity series by exploring how Christian growth is a lifelong journey shaped, but not defined, by our families of origin. He challenges us to embrace each stage of maturity and follow God's call beyond where we began.

God calls believers in Christ to give up their rights, adjust their preferences, and discipline their lives so that others might believe in Jesus. When we lose our lives for the sake the gospel, we ensure that we have truly been saved and will not be disqualified.

In this episode, Steve Wood dives into the first stage of Christian maturity, guided by 1 John 2:12–14. Discover why spiritual growth begins with a deep, unshakable belief that your sins are forgiven—not because of your goodness, but because of Christ's sacrifice. Steve unpacks how St. John categorizes believers as "children," "young men," and "fathers"—not by age, but by spiritual maturity—and explains why some Christians remain spiritual infants even after years of churchgoing. You'll learn how experiencing God's love through the Holy Spirit is key to real transformation—not just religious routine.

Episode SummaryIn this insightful episode, Dr. Jim Van Gelderen reveals one of Satan's most effective tactics: convincing believers to trust in themselves. Through a gripping story from a Vietnam War veteran and powerful truths from Ephesians 6, he shows how self-reliance—rather than strength—is often our downfall in spiritual warfare. If you've ever felt defeated despite trying your hardest, this message will open your eyes to the real source of strength: moment-by-moment dependence on Jesus Christ.Topics DiscussedRevival updates from Michigan and upcoming ministry in ColoradoA wartime illustration of enemy deceptionWhy self-dependence is spiritual sabotageWhat “be strong in the Lord” really means (Ephesians 6:10)The role of English grammar in understanding the BibleHow human strength fails under spiritual pressurePersonal reflections on a lifetime of weakness and God's faithfulnessPrayer as the breath of dependenceThe connection between pride, self-reliance, and defeatHow to face spiritual battles with real powerKey TakeawaysSatan doesn't need to overpower you—he just needs you to trust yourself.Real strength isn't self-generated. It flows from continual dependence on Christ.Prayer is not optional—it's how you breathe in the strength of God.Victory doesn't come from trying harder. It comes from surrendering fully.

In this theologically rich and pastorally grounded sermon on Hebrews 12:1–17, Rev. Dr. Michael Allen explores the discipline of the Lord as a key marker of our identity as beloved children of God. Drawing from the great “cloud of witnesses” in Hebrews 11 and the example of Jesus, Dr. Allen calls the church to run the race of faith with perseverance, eyes fixed on Christ, who endured the cross for the joy set before Him. He unpacks how God's discipline is not punishment but a fatherly training that forms us in holiness, shaping us to share in His righteousness and peace.Throughout the message, Dr. Allen urges believers to resist discouragement and spiritual complacency, reminding us that our trials are not meaningless—they are signs of divine sonship. With pastoral clarity, he challenges us to lift our drooping hands and strengthen weak knees, pressing forward in grace and striving for peace and holiness in community.

Today, we're discussing the recent controversy surrounding Shiloh Hendrix, who called a black child a racial slur at a playground instead of taking the concern to the child's parents. This behavior is not only unacceptable—it's unchristian. As followers of Christ, we are called to be above reproach (1 Timothy 3:2), especially when dealing with the next generation. God will not judge us by our skin color, so why are we so quick to judge others by theirs? We can simultaneously be aware of the statistics about certain cultures within particular races, and realize that this is not how we handle those problems. We'll explore the biblical approach to conflict resolution. When there's a problem with a child's behavior, the godly route is to speak directly with their parents—not to attack the child. Christians must hold one another accountable. --https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee

Don't Let Doubt Define or Defeat You | Restored & Sent Have you ever felt like your questions and doubts disqualify you from faith? You're not alone. The reality is that doubt is something virtually all Christians experience at some point in their faith journey. We'll challenge the one-dimensional view of "Doubting Thomas" by revealing six dimensions of his faith journey that are often overlooked. Through Thomas's story in the Gospel of John, we discover a disciple who was: 1. Willing to Sacrifice - When others hesitated to follow Jesus into danger, Thomas boldly declared, "Let us also go that we may die with him" (John 11:16) 2. Prepared to Follow - Even when uncertain of the destination, Thomas honestly asked questions to better understand and follow Jesus 3. Fully Honest - Rather than pretending to believe, Thomas expressed his doubts openly 4. Supported with Evidence - Jesus didn't rebuke Thomas for his questions but provided the evidence he needed 5. Stronger Than He Gets Credit For - Thomas made one of the strongest confessions of faith in scripture: "My Lord and my God!" 6. A Faith That Spreads to Others - Thomas's journey from doubt to conviction continues to help countless believers You'll walk away with a new perspective to never allow a season of doubt to limit your future walk with and effectiveness for Jesus. God is big enough to handle your questions and has given us all the evidence we need. Whether you're currently wrestling with questions or walking alongside someone who is, this message offers practical hope that doubt can be a doorway to deeper belief rather than a dead end.
