Join Pastor Karl for a powerful Easter Sunday message from John 20, celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ. In this episode, Pastor Karl explores the profound truth that the resurrection is not just a historical event but a personal invitation to encounter the living Jesus. Through the stories of Mary Magdalene, Peter, and John at the empty tomb, he illustrates how what we see in the resurrection shapes how we live. Discover the significance of Mary's transformed life, the disciples' journey from doubt to belief, and the call to hear Jesus speak your name. Pastor Karl challenges listeners to move beyond familiarity with the Easter story and embrace the resurrection with fresh comprehension, surrendering to a life-changing relationship with Christ. This message is an inspiring reminder of the hope, peace, and purpose found in the empty tomb.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

What are the moral laws in the Old Testament, and how do we discern which laws are moral and which are not? How can such laws teach us about the love of God?This episode continues our three episode series on Matthew 5: 17-20 in the Sermon on the Mount, addressing how Jesus fulfills the Old Testament laws known as the Moral Law.This We Believe is brought to you in part by Logos.

In this sermon by Carolyn Wilson, the crux of her message is about the unparalleled value of the Bible, which she argues is "more precious than gold." Carolyn begins by engaging the audience with an imaginative scenario of finding a treasure chest filled with priceless items and contrasts it by presenting the Bible as an even greater treasure. She references Psalm 19:7-11 to illustrate the Bible's unique worth and how it enriches the soul, provides wisdom, joy, light, and enduring righteousness. Carolyn elaborates on several reasons why the Bible is invaluable: Understanding God: The Bible is God's self-revelation, detailing His character, love, justice, mercy, and holiness. Without it, understanding God would be limited to general revelations found in nature. Understanding Ourselves: The Bible reveals our true identity and worth in God's eyes, not defined by our past or failures but by God's love and purpose for us. God's Salvation Plan: The Bible shows the path to salvation through Jesus Christ, providing hope and redemption beyond human wisdom or political systems. Essential for Discipleship: Jesus' teachings, which are essential for being His disciple, are found in the Bible, making it vital for spiritual sustenance and growth. Cohesive Story: The Bible is a unified narrative of sin, redemption, and God's pursuit of humanity, culminating in Jesus Christ. Future Guidance: The Bible offers wisdom for living an abundant life and understanding the future, as God reveals the end from the beginning. Truth and Direction: It serves as an unchanging standard of truth in a world of shifting morals and protects believers from false teachings. Carolyn shares the impactful conversion story of Richard Wurmbrand, whose life was transformed by the Bible amid persecution, illustrating the Bible's power to bring profound change and hope. She concludes by emphasizing the eternal value of investing time in God's Word, which stands forever despite attempts to discredit or destroy it. Through prayer and engagement with scripture, believers can experience God's unchanging love and guidance. The sermon ends with a prayer, expressing gratitude for the gift of the Bible and a plea for deeper love and commitment to God's Word.

Since SACM's establishment in the 1960's, it has expanded into an umbrella mission allowing it to meet the broader needs of the community. SACM works alongside many other ministries, but specifically collaborates extensively with Gospel 101, Hearts of Hope Christian Ministries and Teach Love Care Network. The leaders of these organizations have all been called to serve the Lord in different aspects of ministry work, but they all share that same underlying mission that Christ himself had: to seek and save the lost (Luke 19:10).

For some four hundred years, Hindus and Christians have been engaged in a public controversy about conversion and missionary proselytization, especially in India and the Hindu diaspora.  Hindu Mission, Christian Mission: Soundings in Comparative Theology (SUNY Press, 2024) reframes this controversy by shifting attention from "conversion" to a wider, interreligious study of "mission" as a category of thought and practice. Comparative theologian Reid B. Locklin traces the emergence of the nondualist Hindu teaching of Advaita Vedānta as a missionary tradition, from the eighth century to the present day, and draws this tradition into dialogue with contemporary proposals in Christian missiology. As a descriptive study of the Chinmaya Mission, the Ramakrishna Mission, and other leading Advaita mission movements, Hindu Mission, Christian Mission contributes to a growing body of scholarship on transnational Hinduism. As a speculative work of Christian comparative theology, it develops key themes from this engagement for a new, interreligious theology of mission and conversion for the twenty-first century and beyond.

How can we tell which laws we still have to follow and which ones we don't?This episode begins a three episode series on Matthew 5: 17-20: “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.

In this episode, I (Brian Russell) take you on a deep dive into Paul's words in Philippians 3:17 "Brothers and sisters, join in imitating me, and observe those who live according to the example you have in us.” Questions I explore: What kind of person do I need to become to serve as a model of Christ like character for others? Is Jesus' life merely aspirational or can humans literally live out the mind and character of Christ? How might God be calling me today to surrender even deeper into the love God and neighbor? What kind of person do I need to become in order to serve as a model of Christ like character for others even more effectively tomorrow than I do today?

In this little mini-series, we have been discussing the idea that all Christians are sent on mission by Jesus. In the last sermon, we began to explore what this looks like practically, using John Dickson's book "The Best Kept Secret of Christian Mission" to look at 3 New Testament ways we can promote the Gospel. This week, we'll unpack 3 more chapters of that book, exploring 3 more New Testament ways we can get involved in the mission of God: we can behave beautifully, we can worship corporately, and we can reply "aptly" (as Dickson says). May 12, 2024

In the previous sermon, we discussed the idea that all Christians are sent on mission by Jesus, but what does that mean for us practically? In his book, "The Best Kept Secret of Christian Mission", author John Dickson works through 6 New Testament ways that Christians can promote the Gospel. In this sermon, we work through three chapters of Dickson's book and explore three ways we can get involved in the mission of God: we can pray, we can give, and we can do good works. May 5, 2024

What does it mean to be the light of the world, and what, if anything, does the church have to do in order to become the light of the world? Do Christians have to worry about the impact and influence that their actions have on the world?This episode discusses Matthew 5: 14-16: “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven."This We Believe is brought to you in part by Logos.

The Christian Mission is all about rebuilding what was broken by sin. There is brokenness all around us, and there will be until the renewal of the Earth, but Christians can continue to commit to holistically rebuilding and renewing people and communities. Nehemiah 2:1-8

Join this week as we continue to look back on some of the most moving moments of 2023 on The Voice of the Martyrs Radio: Brother Maksud became a Christian as a young man but was afraid to tell his parents. He expected his father might disown him but was shocked at his father's response. Pastor Hanna remembers when he learned that a member of his church, Rami Ayyad, had been martyred. He says our faith won't be tested when everything is going fine, but in difficult times. After Sister Jane's husband was martyred in the Middle East, she prayed God would raise him from the dead. God didn't answer that prayer—but used the sacrifice to build his Kingdom. Susanne Geske suddenly received public attention after her husband was murdered in Turkey. She used the opportunity to echo Christ's words from the cross: “Father, forgive them.” Soon after Ronnie Smith was killed in Libya, his widow, Anita, had an opportunity to express God's forgiveness to his killers–in English and Arabic. (This interview with Anita was recorded as part of the Hearts of Fire Virtual Event. You can view the event—featuring four women who have suffered for their faith—online now for free.) When their parents were martyred serving the Lord in Uganda, Saul and Ezra Pett were angry with God. But in the years since God has brought healing and now the brothers are ministering in the very place where their parents were killed. As a young man, Brother Mansour made plans to burn down a church. Instead, he became a Christian trying to share God's Word with Iranians all over the world. Dr. Hormoz Shariat shares the story of a taxi driver in Iran who Jesus healed from cancer; today he shares his testimony with every passenger that gets into his taxi. John Samara shared a prayer request for his co-worker who'd been kidnapped by terrorists in the Middle East. God answered those prayers before his episode was aired on VOM Radio. Susi Childers told us the story of meeting Nigerian widows learning to forgive and pray for their persecutors. Listen to how Susi shared God's love for these women through jewelry. Brother Enfu told us how church leaders are still being trained in China, in spite of Communist Party restrictions, and gives us a specific way to pray. When VOM met Pastor Pan and members of the Mayflower Church, they had fled China and were seeking asylum in Thailand. Following the broadcast of that episode, church members were granted entry to the US.

Why is it that Christians who exhibit mercy and meekness should expect to be treated poorly by the world? If Jesus is the true way to all that is good, true, and beautiful, then why will Christians be reviled for believing in him?This episode addresses the final two beatitudes: “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake," and "Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you." This We Believe is brought to you in part by Logos.

Pastor Hanna Massad served the Lord in the face of intense Christian persecution. He's been threatened. The Bible Society where his wife worked was bombed. He buried a martyred coworker. Yet he calls it an honor and a privilege to serve the Lord in such circumstances. Hanna Massad is the former pastor of Gaza Baptist Church. His wife, Suhad, led the Bible Society in Gaza. He still gets emotional thinking back to the day when Rami Ayyad, who worked for the Bible Society, was kidnapped and later killed. Speaking of his martyred friend, Hanna says, “Rami had a wonderful heart, he loved the Lord, and his dedication to the Lord, his family, and the community are wonderful memories, despite the pain and suffering.” Listen as Hanna shares his own story of coming to faith in Christ, and how he faced pressure—even as a boy—for being identified as a Christian in Gaza. He says Christians in Gaza live “between two fires,” and explains some of the challenges of church ministry in such a setting. “Our faith will not be tested when everything is going fine.” Hanna explained. God allows us to go through the fire to reflect His love to those who don't know Him. Last year we met Rami Ayyad's widow, Pauline. Listen to Pauline Ayyad's interview on VOM Radio to hear her journey from deep grief and anger to forgiving Rami's persecutors. Today Pastor Hanna Massad serves as the leader for Christian Mission to Gaza. He is also author of the book Pastor From Gaza (affiliate link). Hanna reminds us what the most important thing in life is as we, children of God by His grace, carry the Holy Spirit's presence wherever we go. Never miss an episode of VOM Radio!

What does it mean to see others as image-bearers of God? How is this warped by American individualism? And what happens to justice when we abandon God for idols—false images of God? Based on the book Inalienable by Eric Costanzo, Daniel Yang, and Matthew Soerens, in this episode Skye Jethani (co-host of The Holy Post) talks to Sri Lankan Christian leader Vinoth Ramachandra about the intersection of idolatry and mission. He explains how what we worship shapes us and our work in the world in unexpected ways, and that he believes the American church needs to admit to and repent of its idols. “Inalienable: How Marginalized Kingdom Voices Can Help Save the American Church” by Eric Costanzo, Daniel Yang, and Matthew Soerens - https://amzn.to/3RyObjc 0:00 - Theme song and intro Interview with Vinoth Ramachandra 2:19 - Idolatry 5:35 - Idol of individualism 12:42 - Idolatry and injustice 18:25 - Idolatry's appeal and antidote 24:45 - Confronting idolatry faithfully 29:49 - Sponsor - World Relief Join the Path: https://worldrelief.org/holypost/ Debrief with Eric Costanzo and Daniel Yang 31:45 - Debrief start and recognizing our idols 36:58 - Moving beyond fear of pushback 41:13 - Engaging outside of our contexts 46:45 - The idol of Christian nationalism 54:42 - Credits Other resources mentioned: International Fellowship of Evangelical Students - https://ifesworld.org“Gods That Fail: Modern Idolatry and Christian Mission” by Vinoth Ramachandra - https://amzn.to/3dssPV2 Holy Post website: https://www.holypost.com/ Holy Post Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/holypost The Holy Post is supported by our listeners.
