How many times should we forgive someone who has wronged us? In this message, Pastor Karl explores Jesus' powerful teaching in Matthew 18:21–35, revealing that forgiveness is not about keeping score—it's about reflecting the incredible mercy we've received from God.Through the Parable of the Unforgiving Servant, Pastor Karl explains the immeasurable debt of sin that Christ has forgiven and why that forgiveness transforms the way we respond to those who hurt us. Discover the difference between forgiveness and enabling harmful behavior, why forgiveness is central to life in God's Kingdom, and how releasing others from their debt brings freedom to our own hearts.Whether you're wrestling with past wounds, strained relationships, or the challenge of extending grace, this message offers biblical truth and practical encouragement to help you walk in the freedom Christ has made possible.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 this episode of Kingdom Now, Pastor Karl continues the verse-by-verse study through Matthew 18, picking up where Jeff Stemple left off. Building on the disciples' question of "who's the greatest?", Karl unpacks Jesus's answer: none of us are — apart from Him, we're all dependent and called to humble, childlike faith.Walking through verses 7-20, Karl explores how Jesus's kingdom is neither casual about sin nor stingy with mercy. He digs into Jesus's strong warnings about cutting off whatever causes us to stumble, the parable of the wandering sheep (and why it's different from Luke 15's version), and God's heart to pursue those who wander — even when they know exactly where home is. The episode closes with practical, biblical steps for restoring relationships when a brother or sister sins against you, emphasizing that the goal is always restoration, not winning.A convicting and grace-filled look at how radical discipleship requires taking sin seriously while never giving up on people.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

Sometimes children and youth get overlooked, but Paul reminded young Timothy not to be discouraged by this, but to walk in holiness and set a good example for everyone.
Who's the greatest? It's a question we ask about quarterbacks, pitchers, and point guards—but Jesus' disciples asked it about the Kingdom of Heaven, and His answer flipped their entire framework upside down.In this message from Matthew 18:1-6, guest speaker Jeff Stemple unpacks what happens when the disciples' quiet argument about status and rank finally bursts into the open, and Jesus responds not with a ranking, but with a child standing in the middle of the room. Jeff explores how greatness in God's Kingdom isn't measured by achievement, platform, or comparison, but through humble, childlike dependence on God.Along the way, Jeff digs into what it means to humble yourself before you're humbled, how what we value reveals what we actually believe, and why welcoming and protecting children reflects the very heart of Jesus. Whether you're wrestling with insecurity, control, or the constant pull to measure up, this message points to a different scoreboard altogether—one built on trust, not status.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
Dear Church, You can watch the video that this podcast is referring to here.In this deep-dive follow-up to this video, Nick and Mairi unpack the stark, sobering reality that occurs when the structural machinery of modern churches collides with the true Word of the LORD. If you have ever felt a profound, unsettling disconnect between the casual peace of the church platform and the heavy burden in your own soul for genuine faithfulness, this conversation is for you.We break down three critical dimensions of this spiritual landscape:The Polar Opposite Clash: Why is there a recurring collision between institutional church leaders and those who steward a prophetic word? We expose the stark contrast between pastors who are jealously consumed with defending their own local kingdoms using the vocabulary of Christ, versus a heart that is completely broken by His cross and undone by His glory.Defining the True Prophetic Word: Scripturally, the spirit of prophecy is not a tool for fortune-telling or religious entertainment, it is the direct testimony of Jesus. It is a deep, agonising empathy with the suffering heart of God the Father over a backslidden people. Because it pierces systemic idolatry, it is historically met with a fierce, demonic resistance that seeks to see it missed, rejected, and murdered.What is Required of His People: For the harassed, helpless, and scattered sheep who have ears to hear, the instruction is clear. We look at the absolute necessity of stepping out from under blind institutional allegiance, running from shepherds who merely feed themselves, and intentionally seeking out contexts where the ultimate focus is a jealous regard for the glory of Yahweh.Urgent action is required!Could these TRULY be the words of worship and prayer of this nation?

When it comes to preaching, every pastor has to find his voice. In this episode, Matt shares his story of finding his. Led through the early years of ministry by faithful mentors and guided by the witness of faithful men who have preached the word of God faithfully for centuries, Matt become convinced at an early age the the Word of God preaches itself, and every sermon should point back to gospel of Jesus Christ.
In Matthew 17, Pastor Karl traces three big ideas through one of the most pivotal chapters in the Gospel of Matthew — from the Transfiguration to a failed exorcism to a coin found in a fish's mouth.Kingdom authority resides only in the King. God must first overpower us before He can empower us — and faith that shifts from dependence on Christ to confidence in our own ability is twisted faith that accomplishes nothing.Kingdom presence comes only through the cross. Following Jesus isn't adding Him to your plans. It's submitting every plan, comfort, and priority to His lordship. The cross isn't a decoration; it's a direction.Kingdom freedom isn't selfish — it's generous. When Jesus pays a tax He owes nothing on, He paints a vivid picture of the gospel itself: Peter had a debt he couldn't pay, and Jesus — under no obligation — paid it anyway. Just as He does with our sin.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 coming destruction of the present creation is not just a doctrine to believe—it's a call to live differently. In this expository sermon from 2 Peter 3:11–12, Pastor Jim Osman draws out the practical weight of Peter's eschatological teaching and presses it into the conscience of every believer.Peter's concluding exhortations are clear: those who genuinely believe Christ will return are marked by it. First, they are a holy people—set apart in conduct and godliness, fitted for a new creation in which only righteousness dwells. Osman unpacks what that means practically, showing that holiness is not merely a positional reality but a moral pursuit, one that grace both demands and provides.Second, they are a hastening people—those who long for and actively work toward the coming of the day of God. Osman addresses the apparent tension between divine sovereignty and human responsibility head-on. The day is fixed on God's calendar; yet Scripture calls believers to hasten it through holy living, faithful gospel proclamation, and earnest prayer. These are not contradictions—they are the two sides of the same sovereign purpose.If Christ is returning, and Peter insists He is, the only question left is: what kind of people ought we to be? ★ Support this podcast ★

Charles Spurgeon hated controversy. He spent nearly forty years fighting it anyway.In this second installment on the life and legacy of the "Prince of Preachers," Phil Johnson, executive director of Grace to You, traces Spurgeon's place in what he calls the Truth War: the long, reluctant fight against error that defined Spurgeon's ministry far more than most modern admirers realize.Johnson walks through Spurgeon's battles one by one, from the baptismal regeneration controversy to his outspoken stand against American slavery, through the Rivulet hymnal dispute, and into the Downgrade Controversy that consumed his final years and ultimately cost him his denomination. Along the way, he exposes a strange irony: many who praise Spurgeon today stand against nearly everything he actually preached.Drawing on Spurgeon's own words, Ian Murray's The Forgotten Spurgeon, and even a German theologian's begrudging tribute, Johnson shows why Spurgeon's example as a defender of doctrine may matter more for the church now than his example as a preacher.This episode challenges listeners to ask whether they truly stand where Spurgeon stood, or simply admire him from a safe historical distance. ★ Support this podcast ★

Send us a Text Message - include your name!In this episode of Faith Over Breakfast, Pastor Eric and Pastor Andy reflect on the difference between topical preaching and exegetical preaching, and on the ways churches tend to use each. They consider why people often assume one approach is superior to the other, while drawing on their own experience both of sitting under these styles of preaching and of using them in the work of ministry. Along the way, they suggest that when either approach is relied on too heavily, the church can lose something vital. Over time, an imbalance in preaching does not simply shape sermons; it also shapes the kind of disciples a church is forming.Beyond The BeaconJoin Bishop Kevin Sweeney for inspired interviews with Catholics living out our faith!Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the showSupport"Faith Over Breakfast with Pastors Andy & Eric" is a weekly podcast where Pastors Andy and Eric come together over a imaginary delicious breakfast to talk about faith, food, sermons, culture, and more.

Peter opens 2 Peter 3 with two pastoral aims: to stir up the sincere minds of his readers and to call them back to the truth they already know. False teachers in his day were mocking the promise of Christ's return — dismissing it as myth and pointing to the silence of the centuries as proof it would never happen. Peter's answer? Remember what has been promised.In this expository message, Pastor Jim Osman walks through 2 Peter 3:1–4, showing that Peter's first move against the mockers is not an argument — it is a reminder. He reminds his readers of the prophetic testimony of the Old Testament and the apostolic testimony of Jesus and the New Testament writers: Christ is coming back in power, in glory, and in judgment. This promised return is not a footnote — it is referenced in every New Testament book but two, across 300 passages in 260 chapters.Osman also lays out the full outline of chapter 3, setting up a multi-week series: the doubters' derisions (vv. 1–4), the dismantling of their denials (vv. 5–10), and the duties of the disciples in light of Christ's return (vv. 11–18).The return of Christ is comfort for the believer and a sober warning for the unbeliever. Don't let the passage of time dull your expectation. He promised. He does not lie. He is coming. ★ Support this podcast ★
Philippians 3:12-16 Liberty Church
No Christian enjoys suffering — and the Apostle Paul knew that better than most. Called by God from the start of his ministry to endure affliction for the name of Christ, Paul wrote 2 Corinthians as a deeply pastoral letter to a church that had caused him tremendous pain. Yet rather than retreat from suffering, Paul broke into praise.In this sermon from 2 Corinthians 1:3–7, Simon Pranaitis shows how Paul's doxology reveals three God-given relationships that transform even the worst suffering into joyful hope. First, through God the Father — the Father of mercies and God of all comfort — believers receive real, active comfort in every affliction. Biblical comfort is not a weak shoulder-pat; it is God's strong encouragement, consolation, and intervention on behalf of his people. Second, through Christ, suffering and comfort both come in abundance. Union with Christ joins believers to his sufferings, but the comfort that follows is not merely equal — it overflows in proportion to the suffering endured. Third, through the church body, believers share in mutual endurance and a hope firmly grounded in Christ's death, resurrection, and return.Suffering is not an individual endurance test. It is a corporate responsibility. The saints at KCC are called to stop hiding their pain, stop avoiding others in theirs, and actively participate together — finding comfort in God, giving it to others, and embracing affliction as evidence of belonging to Christ. ★ Support this podcast ★
