Why does the church exist? If our relationships with God are personal, why should Christians gather together? What's the true purpose of worshiping with other people? Whether you've been a believer for a little while or a long time, these are questions you've likely asked yourself. We invite you to listen in as we find the answer in Hebrews and discover why the discipline of corporate worship is a habit we should never neglect.

Nehemiah 12:27-47 | Most versions of Nehemiah 12:27-47 have the heading “the dedication of the wall.” As this passage of scripture unfolds, we'll see much more than just a dedication of a wall, and much more than the celebration of an incredible accomplishment, but an all-out worship service to a sovereign God who always fulfills his promises. This morning we'll unpack four elements of corporate worship we see from this wall dedication, and how they impact the corporate worship gathering today.

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

What happens, overlaid with the beauty of what has gone before.

In this stirring and deeply encouraging Advent message, Pastor Karl launches the new series The King Has Come with a powerful exploration of the first great gift Jesus brings: hope.Turning to Luke 2 and the quiet, largely forgotten figures of Simeon and Anna, Pastor Karl paints a vivid picture of two elderly saints who spent decades waiting in faithful obscurity—praying unanswered prayers, worshiping through silence, and serving without recognition. Yet the moment a 40-day-old baby was carried into the temple, their Spirit-illuminated eyes saw what the crowds missed: the long-promised Messiah, the Consolation of Israel, the Redemption of Jerusalem.Through their story, Pastor Karl reveals that biblical hope is not wishful thinking; it is the confident, unshakable expectation of future good rooted in the unchanging character and faithfulness of God. Hope grows in the hidden soil of daily faithfulness, thrives when God chooses to work in silence, and celebrates the tiny seed because it already trusts the coming harvest. Simeon and Anna never saw Jesus preach, heal, or rise from the dead—yet they held the infant King and departed in peace, because they knew who He was long before they saw what He would do.A tender yet convicting word for everyone who has waited a long time and is still waiting, prayed a long time and is still praying, and hoped a long time and is still hoping. In a season that can feel rushed and noisy, this message calls us to slow down, stay faithful, and train our eyes to recognize the presence of the King—even when He shows up wrapped in the ordinary, the small, and the seemingly insignificant.Because the King has come, hope is not dead. It is alive, resilient, and bubbling up in every heart that keeps showing up and keeps looking for Jesus. Essential listening for anyone who needs fresh hope 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

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

In this sermon on Psalm 95, we hear that God’s people are called to gather regularly in corporate worship to sing joyfully, worship humbly, and listen attentively so that they might trust and obey Him faithfully. Failure to do so had tragic consequences.

Sunday Evening

Today is day 248 and we are studying A Rule of Prayer: Corporate Worship. 248. How does the Book of Common Prayer organize corporate worship? The Prayer Book orders our daily, weekly, and seasonal prayer and worship. It also provides liturgies for significant events of life. (Leviticus 23:1–24:9; Psalm 90; John 2:1–12; 1 Corinthians 15:1–11) We will conclude today with Proper 13 found on page 618 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).

Serving children in Jesus's name is beautiful and God-pleasing. Gathering for worship is crucial and soul-preserving. So, how much corporate worship should we miss to serve?

Istrouma Baptist Church (ASC) Aug 24, 2025 ========== August 24 - Field Guide Welcome! We're glad you've joined us today for our Sunday morning worship service! For more information about Istrouma, go to istrouma.org or contact us at info@istrouma.org. We glorify God by making disciples of all nations. ========== Connection Card https://istrouma.org/myinfo Guidlines for Corporate Worship 1 Timothy 2:1-15 ‭‭1 Timothy‬ ‭2‬:‭1‬-‭15‬‬ First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time. For this I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth. I desire then that in every place the men should pray, lifting holy hands without anger or quarreling; likewise also that women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly attire, but with what is proper for women who profess godliness—with good works. Let a woman learn quietly with all submissiveness. I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet. For Adam was formed first, then Eve; and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor. Yet she will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith and love and holiness, with self-control. 1. Corporate prayer Supplications - Praying for healing in broken families. Prayers - Adoring God's sovereignty in uncertain times. Intercession - Praying for unbelieving friends and families with childlike trust. Thanksgiving - Gratefully recounting God's provision or deliverance. First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions. 1 Tim. 1:1-2a 2. Godly conduct 3. Roles and responsibilities Takeaways for the modern church - Fosters unity and mission focus. - Promotes holiness in worship. - Upholds biblical order for flourishing. - Encourages humility and submission.

Message from Kevin Moses on August 10, 2025

Wednesday Service

In this message from Psalm 34, Pastor Brad Vos walks us through a powerful call to praise, seek, fear, and trust the Lord—especially in seasons of pain and uncertainty. This sermon reminds us that God is near to the brokenhearted and faithful to deliver those who trust in Him. Ultimately, Psalm 34 points us to Jesus Christ, who fulfills God's promise to rescue us from sin and death. Whether you're hurting, searching, or celebrating, this message will encourage you to anchor your life in God's goodness.

John Baumgartner God requires prayers and thanksgiving from all people on the earth. Prayer offered with thanksgiving is a vital act in Christian life and corporate worship. God the Father hears all and only prayers made in the name of the Son, by the help of His Holy Spirit, with understanding, reverence, humility, earnestness, faith, love, and perseverance. We are commanded to pray for everything according to His word and not to pray for anything His word forbids.

Is corporate worship just the transfer of information? Or to whip up our emotions into a frenzy? Or does corporate worship do something else?In this episode, host Geoff Holsclaw engages with Reverend Dr. Joshua Cockayne about corporate worship, joint attention in spiritual formation, and perspectives from developmental psychology, attachment theory, and neuroscience. This episode challenges the traditional dichotomy between cognition and affect, proposing a more nuanced understanding of worship as a communal, transformative experience.Dr Joshua Cockayne is the Director of the Bede Centre for Church Planting Theology at Cranmer Hall in Durham, UK, where he also lectures on mission and evangelism. He is the co-author of several books, including Dawn of Sunday: The Trinity and Trauma Safe Churches, and more recently, Why We Gather: Psychology, Theology and Liturgical Practice.Join the launch team for Landscapes of the Soul by filling out this form (hit the title to buy the book).

Ephesians 5:19-21 So much of what is deemed as corporate worship today is so bereft of any substance!  Could it be that we lack so much zeal and passion in our worship because our theology is so meagre?  In other words, our view of God is so pathetically small?  Why worship God?  BECAUSE HE IS WORTHY!!!  Is that not a good place to start?  May God minister to you through this ninth sermon part in a series looking at the Church.

Worship is a lifestyle and a response to God's worthiness, not just a Sunday activity. Corporate worship unites believers, shifts our focus from self to God, and leads to repentance, healing, and restoration. It challenges barriers like shame and comparison, inviting everyone to engage with willing hearts and authentic praise.

God's Word leads the church to grateful praise for God's past works and exultant trust for what's ahead.
