Easter-God's Yes by Praise Community Church
This Easter, Pastor Karl takes an unconventional approach — rather than turning to a traditional resurrection passage, he stays in the church's ongoing study of Matthew 12, the hinge point of Jesus's ministry and the moment that set the crucifixion in motion.Through Matthew 12, Pastor Karl unpacks what it truly means to reckon with who Jesus claimed to be. He explores the miracle of the possessed, blind, and mute man — and how the religious leaders' refusal to accept what they witnessed reveals the same pattern of avoidance that people default to today. Jesus's response cuts through every excuse: there is no neutral ground. You're either for him or against him.Pastor Karl also addresses one of Scripture's most misunderstood concepts — the unforgivable sin. He sets the record straight on what blasphemy against the Holy Spirit actually means, why it's less about God's refusal to forgive and more about humanity's refusal to repent, and how a hardened heart doesn't happen overnight.The sermon closes with the Sign of Jonah — Jesus's declaration that the resurrection would be the only sign his generation would receive. Pastor Karl's challenge to listeners is direct: you don't need more evidence. The resurrection isn't a suggestion or an invitation. It's a declaration. The question is simply what you'll do with what you already know.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

In Death, There Is Resurrection Scripture: Luke 24:1–12 (CEB) Part of the Defying Limits worship seriesWhat if the resurrection isn't a tidy, comforting ending—but something far more disruptive?On this Easter Sunday, we hear the familiar story of the empty tomb from Luke's Gospel—but through the eyes of those who first experienced it, the resurrection doesn't feel like joy at first. It feels like confusion, fear… even “nonsense.” The women come expecting death, not life. The disciples struggle to believe what they hear. No one is prepared for what God is about to do.And yet, this is the scandal and the promise of Easter: God refuses to let death have the final word.In this first sermon of our Defying Limits series, we explore how the resurrection breaks open everything we thought we knew about life, death, and the love of God. Drawing on the story of the empty tomb and the bold witness of the early Methodists, we are invited to consider what it means to follow a risen Christ who defies expectations, crosses boundaries, and calls us beyond fear into a more courageous, expansive faith.Because resurrection isn't just something that happened long ago—it is something God is still doing. In moments of grief, uncertainty, and change, God is at work bringing new life where we least expect it.So where are you looking for the living among the dead?This Easter, we are reminded that in death, there is resurrection—and that truth changes everything.

REAL SPORTS TALK, M-F 6:00PM
This week's Gospel John 21:1-19 reminds us that we can rely on Jesus to give us all we need. We are blessed to be members of God's family. We are so loved that we are provided with every good thing, just as Jesus blesses His disciples with an extra-large catch of fish, and gives them a freshly-cooked breakfast! Jesus then asks His disciples to carry on the work He has begun. He gives Peter fish, then asks him to 'Feed my sheep.' Three times Jesus repeats His request- feed those I love and that the Father has given me- with your knowledge of the Good News. Thus, we are encouraged to receive from Jesus all we need to live with Him, and also asked to share that goodness and love with others. Who are the 'sheep' in your flock? Are you responsible for a family, or children in a classroom, or your work team? How can you 'feed them'? Jesus asks us to be active workers for His Kingdom in our world. Pray for guidance as to where you can bring God's blessings in your community this week. Then follow Jesus' example- you might find you have a bigger 'catch' of blessings than you can possibly imagine! The message was presented by Pr. Fin Klein of St. Michaels in Harndorf SA.Support the show
Appearing to the disciples after his resurrection, Christ gives them peace, the Holy Spirit, and the task to continue his work to go out into the world and proclaim the Good News. (Lectionary #45) April 26, 2025 - St. William Catholic Church - Foxboro, WI Fr. Andrew Ricci - www.studyprayserve.com
Segment 1 • The Resurrection is the cornerstone of Christian faith, but Andy Stanley downplays its biblical foundation. • Many missed hearing the Gospel this Easter, with Stanley offering no biblical foundation for the Resurrection. • King Charles' Easter message referenced Muslims, and the Pope's final Easter address called for world peace—but both sidestepped the central message of Easter: God's love through Christ. Segment 2 • Melito of Sardis, a second-century saint, preached a powerful gospel-centered sermon that would be rejected by many modern preachers. • His Easter sermon focuses on the suffering of Jesus, contrasting with today's often trivialized, moralistic messages. • Melito's preaching is drenched in the gospel, not stories or jokes, calling us to rejoice in the true meaning of Easter. Segment 3 • Sermons like Melito's from 170 A.D. are rare today, yet they are a rich example of Christ-centered, theologically sound preaching. • This sermon is lofty and reverent, elevating the listener's understanding of God, and demonstrates the power of high view theology. Segment 4 • A few exceptions to weak Easter preaching: Franklin Graham and Billy Graham both stayed true to the Gospel. • Billy Graham's Easter message was fully focused on Jesus—no distractions, no moralism, just the glorious gospel. • Preaching centered on Christ and the Word lasts, and is desperately needed in today's pulpits. – Preorder the new book, Lies My Therapist Told Me, by Fortis Institute Fellow Dr. Greg Gifford now! https://www.harpercollins.com/pages/liesmytherapisttoldme – Thanks for listening!

It's Witness Wednesday! Todd Friel is back at Kennesaw State University to speak with students and emphasizes the importance of approaching evangelism with love and understanding while pointing individuals toward the hope and joy found in Jesus Christ. Segment 1: • Cole, an agnostic with an interest in history, approaches Todd out of curiosity about Christianity. • The conversation shifts from historical Christianity (like the Crusades) to the core problem of humanity—our standing before a holy God. • Todd uses the Ten Commandments as a mirror, revealing that Cole isn't just imperfect—he's guilty before God. Segment 2: • Cole admits his shortcomings, but Todd emphasizes that comparing ourselves to “worse people” doesn't make us good before God. • The courtroom analogy drives home the seriousness of sin—one day, Cole will stand before God and answer for his life. • Todd lays out the gospel as the only solution: Jesus bore the punishment Cole deserves, offering him a perfect record in return. Segment 3: • An agnostic admits she struggles to believe in things she can't see, but Todd challenges her with logic—design points to a Designer. • She's been hurt by aggressive evangelism, leading her to reject Christianity. • Todd gently shifts the focus back to Christ, urging her to judge Christianity by Jesus, not by the failures of His followers. Segment 4: • The student acknowledges she's broken God's laws, but struggles with the idea of judgment. • Todd explains Easter: God's justice demands punishment for sin, but His mercy sent Jesus to take that punishment. • The student remains skeptical but admits Todd's reasoning makes sense—Todd leaves her with a challenge to reconsider Jesus, apart from past hurts. ___ Thanks for listening!

What is Lent about for you? Is Lent about what you choose to give up, or is Lent about what God eagerly wants to give you? Is Lent forty days of grief before Easter or forty days to prepare for a party like no other? If you're ready to embrace the hope that this Easter God wants to give you gifts that will blow your doors off, then start rolling the stone away with Eleanor, Brenda, and Randy as they prepare to encounter the God who is always good, who is always close, and who always acts, out of love, on His goodness.

Third Sunday of Easter God wants to do great things in our lives and in our parishes! But we're also short on priests (and, in our diocese, short on American priests) which means that more and more is expected of our current priests. So how will God do great things in us and through us and around us if the priest doesn't have time to do it? It has to happen through you, O Christian! God wants to and will do great things in our world when individuals, when the lay faithful, step up and step into their baptismal calling to use the gifts and talents they've been given to build up God's kingdom here and now! God wants to do great things in our lives and in our parishes...through YOU!
