Walk humbly through the valley into God's more.
Pastor Tamar shares how Jesus calls us to be an influencer, but how we can't if we're an inmate to sin.
In this special year-end episode, Pastor Karl and the Flipside Church staff share their personal “Five Good Minutes” reflections on what God taught them throughout 2025. Tricia Cheshier speaks on trusting God and saying yes, overcoming fear to step into full-time children's ministry and watching her entire family grow bolder in faith. Michael Rondon reflects on a year of change, learning to be available and say yes upfront—discovering how one reluctant yes to coaching soccer became an answer to a former student's family's prayers. Alli Stemple shares about choosing joy amid uncertainty and witnessing God's providential will as closed doors led to unexpected open ones. Jeff Stemple unpacks the importance of understanding God's assignment, realizing that divine favor rests on the task God gives rather than on the person. Heather Botwright vulnerably recounts a difficult year of family health crises, yet celebrates God's faithful presence through His people and the strengthening of family bonds.Pastor Karl closes with his own lessons: returning to the bedrock of Scripture, leaning into God's sovereignty and providence, and remembering that Jesus builds His church. The common thread running through every story—saying yes to God, trusting His plan, choosing joy, and faithfully doing the job He assigns—leaves listeners challenged to reflect on 2025 and step boldly into 2026.A heartfelt, honest look at real faith lived out in real life.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
This episode centers on the theme of spiritual gifts and purpose within the Christian faith. Jim Davis emphasizes that every individual is uniquely designed by God and equipped with spiritual gifts to serve others, not to earn more love but as an expression of love for God. Drawing from scriptures such as Ephesians 2:10, Psalm 139, and 1 Corinthians 12, he encourages listeners to discover and use their gifts for the benefit of the church community, sharing personal stories and practical advice for healing from church hurt and finding joy through service. The episode concludes with an invitation to take a spiritual gifts assessment and a reminder that true fulfillment comes from serving with the gifts God has given.
In this message, Pastor Jacob Ley closes the In Christ series by exploring what it means to be captivated by God's beauty. From creation to the cross, Scripture reveals that beauty is not merely aesthetic—it's theological. Beauty flows from the very nature of God, draws our hearts toward Him, and calls us to reflect His glory through how we live, work, and create. Discover how being “in Christ” reshapes our understanding of beauty—how we enjoy it, create it, and ultimately see it revealed in Jesus Himself.
You were created for a purpose. When God designed you, He did so with divine plans and purposes for your life, often seemingly bigger than what you could ever imagine for yourself. In this message, Kris Vallotton shares about God's divine plans for every believer. What can anchor you to God's plans in the midst of difficulty? How do we stay connected to vision? We pray that as you listen, you will receive encouragement and be realigned with God's plans and purposes for your life.
Rev. Jeremy Breese provided Commerce with a sermon that truly fed our souls! He spoke from Ephesians 1:1-23 pointing out seven purposes: 1) desire us to become children of God, 2) to be holy and blameless through Him, 3) to love and be in the beloved, 4) be rich in spirit and wisdom with a mind that changes through God, 5) wants to reveal all mysteries to us, with us pursuing those mysteries, 6) desire to be filled with the Holy Spirit, 7) and vs. 18: "Give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him. The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints."

We were designed to lay our lives down for others. Jesus modeled this in the laying down of His life—which was the plan from the beginning. In this message, Kris Vallotton unpacks a key factor to living in the fullness we were designed for. With happiness and enjoyment as products of doing what we were created to do, listen and discover how God's design for fulfillment in your life bears the fruit of true happiness, and how pursuing temporary pleasures perpetuates emptiness.
Do you ever wonder if your life carries any real weight? If you died tomorrow, what would your legacy be? Do you wrestle with guilt, feeling like you’re falling short? Or like you’re ordinary and insignificant? Maybe you doubt your impact in God’s Kingdom or feel like you’ve disappointed Him, or your life is too small to matter. These feelings can make us resent the mundane, feeling stuck in the routine and even resenting the simplicity of our days. But, what if those monotonous moments are divinely designed, and intended to be pivotal to God’s sovereign plan? What if you learned that your everyday faithfulness & obedience have a ripple effect beyond your imagination, impacting lives you’ll never see, and shaping eternal destinies? Even when you can’t see it, could God be weaving something extraordinary through your very ordinary life! We’re going to learn today that our Sovereign God delights in using simple, faithful obedience to accomplish His plan to rescue & redeem His people—just like He did with Ruth.

Welcome to our latest podcast episode, where Pastor Ken dives deep into understanding worldviews and their significance in our lives. Discover how our worldview shapes our thoughts, emotions, and actions. Pastor Ken contrasts various popular perspectives, such as humanistic, naturalistic, and post-modern worldviews, with a biblical one, underscoring the importance of a foundation grounded in God's truth. Where did we come from? Pastor Ken draws on scriptures like Genesis 1:1 and Isaiah 42:5 to highlight the divine creation of humanity, emphasizing that we are a product of God's intentional and extraordinary act. What's our purpose in life? Through vivid analogies and biblical references, Pastor Ken illustrates how a biblical worldview shifts our focus from self-centered living to glorifying God in everything we do. Scriptures like Ephesians 2:10 and the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20) remind us that our true purpose is to be image-bearers of God. How do we determine right from wrong? Pastor Ken emphasizes the unchanging nature of truth, rooted in God's word. Passages like 2 Timothy 3:16 and John 14:6 reveal how truth originates from God, providing a moral compass for our lives. What happens after we die? Pastor Ken addresses our ultimate destiny, explaining the realities of heaven and hell. With references like Hebrews 9:27 and Revelation 21:4, he offers hope and clarity about eternal life with God. Join us on this transformative journey to develop a biblical worldview that answers life's most profound questions.

What kind of church would GraceLife be if everyone was like Ganon or Chris? Stunning, good-looking, great personality? Would our church be bigger, and more appealing? Would more people be drawn to Mt Lockwood Ridge? Listen, people like Chris, Gannon & myself, we are so tired of carrying that burden of being who everyone loves. Obviously, joking about Chris, But seriously, have you ever thought about how diverse & creatively God has made us all? There isn’t another person in our church close to a Raz, or Curley. There’s only one Jen, Brent, or Bob Cluckey. There’s nobody like Todd, Cean, or Jackie. No two GraceLifers are alike at all! Yet we are united under one Gospel. We need each of them, each of you, with every quirk, oddity, peculiarity, and diversity, to be what makes GraceLife so special. God’s creativity in our church is critical. We can’t accomplish His plans on Mt. Lockwood Ridge without each one.
Stephen and Sandra Hogue always wanted to start a family of their own. But after struggling with infertility for 7 years, they knew they would need to move adoption to the forefront of their plans. They began their journey into adoption with the foster care program. And that's when they realized how broken it was. In 2013, they felt led to leave their very secure jobs and venture out in the unknown, become missionaries, and be a part of the solution for foster care communities. So, that's exactly what they did. Their vision for OneFamily is to connect local churches and the community to help them become a part of that solution, too. Because when the family flourishes, the community flourishes.

Ephesians 2:5-9 describes our salvation by grace through faith (the New Birth of our spirit), when the Holy Spirit imparted the resurrection life (grace) of Christ to our spirit giving our spirit (1) life, (2) victory and (3) dominion, for we were (1) made alive together with Christ, (2) raised together with Christ fall above all enemies, and (3) seated with Christ above all. As we were saved by His grace, so now we are to live by His grace, for the grace (the life of Christ imparted to us by the Spirit of grace) that saved us is now also available for us to live our life. God's grace (operational power within us) is freely available to empower us (Ephesians 1:19) for our life, imparting life, victory and dominion to our souls. We are to receive His grace by faith into our souls, like a yacht receives the wind to fill its sails. The Wind of the Spirit flows out from our spirit (Galatians 6:18) and empowers us for living and doing the good works that God has prepared for us (Ephesians 2:10). We can't control the Wind of the Spirit, for it blows where it wishes (John 3:8), so we must surrender to His Spirit of Grace and let Him carry us along, teaching and empowering us. It only works if we give up trying to run our own life and surrender control to His Spirit of Grace that is flowing out of our spirit and working within our soul. Only then are we operating under (the power and authority) of grace. "Those who wait (with expectancy) on the Lord shall renew their strength (pass to power); they shall mount (raise) up their wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint" (Isaiah 40:31). As we wait on Him and look to Him in faith, believing His wind of grace is blowing from our spirit and is available to fill us, we open our heart (the sail of our soul) to Him to receive and be lifted up and carried along by His grace, just as eagles raise up their wings to catch the wind, empowering them to swiftly soar high above, carried along by the wind. Likewise, by receiving His strength (wind) to fill our souls, we pass from weakness to power, and as a result of being empowered by His grace and carried along by His Spirit, we'll make swift and steady progress in our life.

God knows us perfectly, and He loves us, cares for us and is so interested in us (Psalm 139). He has abundant thoughts and feelings for us. What He thinks of us is what matters above all. We should value what God says about us much more than what people think. He says we are precious to Him.

God's Plan for our life is already in the realm of the Spirit (Eph 2:10). The Holy Spirit wants to reveal and manifest this Plan (Mystery) in our lives (1Cor 2:7-12). We must PRAY and walk it into fulfilment, and one major key to doing this is PRAYING out the Mystery of our life in TONGUES (1Cor 14:2).
