In this powerful message, Samuel Goulet invites listeners to move from simply receiving in church to becoming spiritual fathers and mothers who help others grow in Christ. Using Paul's words in 1 Corinthians 4, he shows that true spiritual parenting is not about titles, recognition, or status—it is about sacrifice, endurance, humility, and love that keeps showing up. With humor, honesty, and stories from family life, Samuel challenges us to let the culture of Jesus overflow from our homes into the church, creating a community where people are pursued, encouraged, corrected in love, and strengthened to walk in the truth.
In this message from Matthew 15:29–16:4, Pastor Karl examines two very different groups of people who come to Jesus — and what their approach reveals about how we receive grace.The first group comes from the Decapolis, a Gentile region with no religious standing or covenant claim. They bring broken bodies, unspoken needs, and nothing to offer — and Jesus meets them with compassion, healing, and even provision they didn't know to ask for. The second group, the Pharisees and Sadducees, arrives with suspicion and a demand for proof — and Jesus refuses to perform for them.The contrast surfaces a powerful truth: Jesus has endless compassion for those who come to him needy, but no obligation to satisfy those who come feeling entitled. Unworthiness isn't a disqualification for grace — it's the prerequisite for it.Pastor Karl unpacks why the disciples hesitated to feed the 4,000 (it wasn't that they forgot what Jesus could do — it was that they questioned who he'd do it for), what it really means to "fall from grace," and why the cross is the only reliable lens through which to interpret God's love. When we bring our "not enough" to Jesus, we find that inadequacy is exactly the raw material he's looking for.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
The church is more than a place we attend. It is a family we belong to. Through Christ, we have been adopted into God's family, united by the Holy Spirit, and brought together with believers from every background and walk of life.Pastor Jeff reminded us in this week's message that God never intended for us to follow Him alone. As a church family, we are called to love one another, honor one another, share in each other's joys and sorrows, carry burdens, and extend forgiveness just as Christ has forgiven us.When the church functions as God designed, no one has to walk through life alone. Together, we reflect the love of Christ and demonstrate the strength and beauty of His family.
In this week's message, Pastor Nate took us to the Book of Ephesians in a message titled "A Church Family" from Ephesians 2:8-22, with a special focus on verses 19-22.Many people view church as simply a place they attend, but God's Word reminds us that through Jesus, the church is so much more. Because of Christ, believers are not just attendees gathered in the same building each week—we are members of the family of God.Pastor Nate highlighted four truths about the church family:• Because of Jesus, we are more than attendees—we are the family of God (v. 19).• Because of Jesus, we have a secure foundation in the family of God (v. 20).• Because of Jesus, each believer has a purpose and function within the church family (v. 21).• Because of Jesus, we are being built together into a dwelling place for God (v. 22).The church is not simply an organization to join but a family to belong to. Through Christ, God has brought us together, given us a firm foundation, equipped us with purpose, and is continually shaping us into a people who display His presence to the world.

1. Little ones - humility, sensitivity, compassion; 2. Brothers - rebuke, forgiveness.
When we invest in and love other people in God's family, we are showing the world what the Church is supposed to look like. Everyone needs a place to belong, and they need to see that they can belong in God's family.
In this concluding message of Matthew 13, Pastor Karl unpacks the final three parables of Jesus — the Hidden Treasure, the Pearl of Great Price, and the Net — and challenges the common interpretations most of us have grown up hearing.Rather than reading these parables through a modern American lens, Pastor Karl takes us back into a first-century Jewish mindset to uncover what Jesus was really communicating. The treasure hidden in the field isn't something we purchase with our devotion — it's a picture of Jesus himself, who in joy gave everything to redeem his chosen people. The pearl of great price wasn't a treasure to the Jews at all, which is exactly the point: Jesus was revealing the shocking mystery that Gentiles — the unclean, the outsiders — would be included in the kingdom of God. And the parable of the net reminds us that not all roads lead to heaven, and that a day of separation is coming.Pastor Karl also draws a striking connection to the book of Ruth, showing how Boaz purchasing the field to gain Ruth as his bride foreshadowed what Jesus would do for his people — buying the field to possess the treasure within it.The message closes with one of the hardest passages for any pastor to preach at his own church: Jesus returning to his hometown, only to be met with familiarity and low expectation. The takeaway is pointed — low expectation limits reception. The messenger can be overlooked, but the message cannot: God chose to treasure you, not because of anything you offered, but because of the price his Son was willing to pay.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

10 - 05 - 26 Pm - Mark Oliver - Church family by Great Parks Chapel
In this dispatch from the front lines, Jesse and Justin record from a new "zen" living room setup to equip the saints for cultural engagement. This episode tackles three major cultural skirmishes where Christians must hold the line and uphold a clear biblical standard: The Church as a Family: The brothers draw their swords against a progressive article arguing that the church should stop using "family" language. They remind listeners that from our adoption as sons to the church as the Bride of Christ, Scripture breathes the reality of family into the church. We cannot abandon biblical language and conform to culture just because society has broken the family. The Emptiness of City Living: Responding to a viral social media post mocking suburban life, the hosts expose the spiritual emptiness and anti-family foundation of modern city living. They contrast the fleeting fulfillment of weekend bar-hopping with the eternal value of building a grounded, lasting biblical legacy with your family. Biological Reality at Smith College: Finally, they discuss the Department of Education's Title IX investigation into Smith College—a historic women's college—for admitting biological men into women-only spaces. The hosts highlight this as a refreshing return to the reality of only two biological sexes, while also warning listeners against aligning with extreme political echo chambers that lack a true biblical foundation. We end musing on how philosophy without God leaves you endlessly studying but never learning. Know the Word, engage the culture, and stand firm. Grab your shields, take up your swords, and seize the faith.

Episode 24 | The Church Family One Piece of Advice with David Sharp David Sharp, Church Planter and Founding Pastor at The Chapel, Ormond Beach, FL shares his thoughts about the value of a church family. Leadership Lesson with Kyle Curry Kyle Curry, Church Planter and Lead Pastor at The Table Fellowship in Murfreesboro, TN, shares three core values of a church culture: accountability, community and discipleship.

3 For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned. 4 For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, 5 so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. 6 Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith; 7 if service, in our serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching; 8 the one who exhorts, in his exhortation; the one who contributes, in generosity; the one who leads, with zeal; the one who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness.9 Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. 10 Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor. 11 Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. 12 Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. 13 Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality.1. Have you ever found it hard to embrace a church family? If so, why?2. Do you agree you need other Christians to help you fully experience God? Is that appealing or not?3. Is it easy or hard for you to let others serve you? What makes it difficult to receive help or show need?4. Are there people in this church not related to you who actually know what your life looks like?5. Would you say you've experienced the hospitality of Jesus? If so, how has that impacted you, or how would you like it to impact you?6. Hospitality is described as making space for others — which doesn't require a big house, just a willingness to share your life. What's one specific way you could extend that kind of hospitality to someone in this community in the coming weeks?

In this message, Pastor Karl wraps up the church's three-week study of Matthew 12 — what he calls the hinge point of Jesus's ministry and of all human history. Drawing from verses 40 through 50, he unpacks three powerful moments that reveal the heart of what Jesus was communicating to a resistant generation.Pastor Karl begins with Jesus's references to Jonah and the Queen of Sheba, showing how Jesus used these figures to slam the door on the demand for endless proof. The issue, he argues, was never a lack of evidence — it was a lack of surrender. Unbelief isn't intellectual; it's volitional.From there, Pastor Karl digs into one of the most misunderstood passages in Matthew: the parable of the empty house. When an unclean spirit returns to find a swept but empty home, it brings seven more spirits worse than itself. Jesus's point is sobering — moral reform without spiritual transformation is a setup for collapse. Cleaning up your life in your own strength, without the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, leaves you more vulnerable than before, not less.Finally, Pastor Karl addresses Jesus's surprising response to his own family, and what it reveals about who truly belongs to the family of God. It isn't inherited proximity or religious familiarity — it's submission and obedience to the Father.This episode is a challenge and an encouragement: stop trying to clean the house on your own. The victorious life Jesus offers isn't just about forgiveness — it's about being filled and clothed in the power of the Holy Spirit.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

Sunday is the fourth installment in our sermon series called "By Their Fruits You Will Know Them: 8 Core Characteristics of Authentic Followers of Jesus." This week we'll explore why Jesus taught that participation in spiritual community is so critical to our personal wellbeing and the wellbeing of our world.
In this message from Gospel People, Paul opens his heart to the Corinthian church and shows us how deeply our relationships with others are shaped by our relationship with God. From integrity and sincerity to love and pastoral care, Paul's words remind us that gospel-centered living transforms how we speak, how we lead, and how we love. When our consciences are anchored in God's grace, our relationships can be marked by honesty, humility, and sacrificial care—even when things are hard.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

Welcome to our Reveal podcast,When we talk about a church family, we're not just talking about a place to attend on Sundays we're talking about a God-designed community that shapes us for every part of life. Biblically, the church is called the body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12), meaning we grow stronger together than we ever could alone.A church family equips us through spiritual growth. As we learn God's Word together, we're taught, encouraged, and corrected in love so we can mature in our faith (Ephesians 4:11–13). This foundation helps us make wise decisions, endure hardships, and live with purpose.It also equips us through relationships and accountability. Scripture reminds us that “iron sharpens iron” (Proverbs 27:17). In a church family, we find people who pray with us, walk with us through life's challenges, and lovingly help us stay aligned with God's will.To support this ministry and help us continue our God-given mission, click here:Subscribe to our channel for the latest sermons:https://www.youtube.com/@revealvineyardLearn more about Vineyard Church Reveal Campus:https://www.revealvineyard.com/Follow us on social media!Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/vineyardrevealcampus Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/RevealVineyard

Too many Christians today think that they can follow Jesus without being involved in the Church Body with other believers. No matter how we have been hurt by our own Christian brothers and sisters, we must commune with one another in fellowship, living peaceably and living to build each other up.
