In this episode of Kingdom Now, Pastor Karl walks through Matthew 25:1-30, where Jesus, days before the cross, tells his disciples how to live while they wait for his return. Karl opens with a personal story about the excitement of waiting on a renovation, and how it exposed how little joyful anticipation he had for Christ's return. Building on Jesus' warning in Matthew 24 that no one knows the day or the hour, he gives two reasons to live with joyful anticipation: it motivates holy living, and it recalibrates how we see our lives and the world around us. He then explores the Parable of the Ten Virgins, explaining the stages of a Jewish wedding and how they picture Christ's return, and teaching that it's possible to look ready without actually being ready. Next, through the Parable of the Talents, Karl offers five practical observations about stewardship before making the deeper point that the most precious thing entrusted to us is the gospel itself. He closes with a challenge to be ready rather than just look ready, starting with repentance and putting sin to death.

In this message, Pastor Karl concludes Matthew 24, wrapping up the second half of Flipside Church's 21st birthday series. Set on the Tuesday before the crucifixion, Jesus turns from predicting what's coming to teaching His disciples how to live until He returns — and the focus isn't prediction, it's readiness.Pastor Karl unpacks the big idea: because we don't know when Jesus will return, disciples must live ready — staying faithful and vigilant in the work He's given us. Walking through Jesus's comparison to the days of Noah, he warns against letting "normal life become normalized" — drifting into comfort and complacency while missing the spiritual urgency of the moment. He then turns to the parable of the faithful servant, showing that faithfulness isn't about fame or big accomplishments — it's simply doing the job the Master has given you, consistently, whether or not He's watching.The message closes with a challenge to live both repentant and expectant: sober about sin, but alert and ready for Christ's return at any moment.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 message from Pastor Josh Thompson looks into the parables of Jesus, revealing the kingdom of God and the significance of the parable of the wheat and the weeds. There is an emphases on the importance of understanding the two kingdoms and the urgency of clarity in our time. In the parable of the wheat and the weeds, Jesus clarifies the coexistence of good and evil, the distinction between accountability and judgmentalism, the process of growth and sanctification, the reality of judgment and hell, the patience of God, and the urgency of the day of salvation.Recorded live at Hope Church in Springfield, MOPoints of Reference:00:00 The Parables of Jesus00:58 Revealing the Kingdom of God03:19 The Parable of the Wheat and the Weeds04:16 Understanding the Parable06:28 The Two Sowers07:51 Appearances Can Be Deceiving08:33 Fruit Reveals the Root10:18 The Mystery of the Kingdom11:45 Expository Preaching and Teaching12:36 Asking for Clarity15:17 The Two Kingdoms20:43 Sons of the Kingdom and Sons of the Evil One24:16 Clarity and Urgency26:05 The Parable of the Wheat and the Weeds27:00 Accountability vs. Judgmentalism28:23 Growth and Sanctification30:39 The Reality of Judgment and Hell39:14 The Patient Farmer42:18 The Day of Salvation#seed #judgement #theend #parable #wheatandtares #wheatandweeds #angels #teaching #salvation #love #heaven #hell
This week, Pastor Zac shares how Jesus turns our limitations into opportunities to reveal His glory and deepen our faith. When we reach the end of what we can do, we can trust that God is not limited by our circumstances. He uses every limitation as an opportunity to demonstrate His power, strengthen our faith, and reveal more of who He is.INFOWebsite: scaccesschurch.comWeekly Updates: bulletin.scaccesschurch.comFOLLOW Facebook: facebook.com/scaccesschurchInstagram: instagram.com/scaccesschurchYouTube: youtube.com/@scaccesschurchGIVE: give.scaccesschurch.comABOUT: State College Access Church is a life-giving, family-oriented, non-denominational church in the State College area.

What makes a church truly healthy? It is not the size of the building, the quality of the music, or the length of the program. According to Colossians 1:3-5, a thriving church is one where faith, love, and hope are visible to everyone who walks through the door. The Apostle Paul opens his letter to the Colossians with gratitude and prayer, motivated by a report from a man named Epaphras who had traveled over 100 miles to share what he had witnessed in that community of believers. What he described was a church where faith was demonstrated in action, love was genuine and noticeable, and hope in the promises of Jesus was contagious. In this message, we explore what each of these three marks looks like in real life. Faith is never invisible. Hebrews 11 shows us that faith always leads to action, whether it is Abel offering a sacrifice or Abraham stepping out without knowing where he was going. James 2:17 reminds us that faith without works is dead. Our faith shows up in how we speak, how we work, how we treat our families, and how we live every single day. Love is one of the most powerful tools the church has. Jesus said in John 13:35 that all people will know we are His disciples by the love we have for one another. This is not a program or a strategy. It is the natural result of the God of love taking up residence in our hearts. The New Testament is full of one another commands, and when a church lives them out, people notice. Hope is what sets the Christian life apart. The believers in Colossae were talking about what Jesus had promised, about eternal life, about His return, about the kingdom to come. That hope was not wishful thinking. It was grounded in the words of Jesus in John 14, the writings of Paul in Titus, and the vision of John in Revelation. And when the church is alive with that hope, it changes everything. Whether you are exploring what it means to be part of a healthy church, looking for encouragement in your faith, or wanting to grow in love and hope, this message from Colossians 1 offers a clear and practical picture of what the church is called to be.

The Value and Power of Expository Preaching with Dr. Danny HydeWhat gives expository preaching its power?It is not the preacher's personality, originality, or exegetical brilliance. According to Dr. Danny Hyde, its power comes from the eternal God, who brings his eternal promise into time through finite human words.In this message from the Expositors Collective gathering in Temecula, California, Danny explains why faithful exposition matters to both the preacher and the congregation. Expository preaching humbles the preacher beneath the authority of Scripture, disciplines him through the whole counsel of God, and frees him from the pressure to produce something novel every Sunday.For the congregation, it builds confidence in Scripture rather than the preacher's personality, teaches people how to read the Bible, and provides the full biblical diet they would not naturally choose for themselves.Drawing especially from Titus 1:1–3, Danny presents preaching as the astonishing connection between eternity past and eternity future. Through the ordinary words of faithful preachers, God calls people to faith, grounds them in truth, forms them in godliness, and leads them into the hope of eternal life.In this episodeWhat expository preaching actually meansExplanation, proclamation, and applicationWhy the biblical text must govern the entire sermonThe difference between preaching and merely teaching or lecturingHow exposition humbles and disciplines the preacherFreedom from the “tyranny of novelty”Why preachers are servants—not pundits, entertainers, or brand managersHow faithful exposition builds confidence in ScriptureTeaching a congregation to read the BibleGiving the church the full counsel of GodWhy preaching connects eternity past with eternity futureHow preaching brings God's purposes to bear on faith, truth, godliness, and hopeWhy theology must become biographyMemorable lines“The text of Scripture isn't a springboard for the preacher to show off his diving skills.”“You are not a pundit. You're not a therapist. You are not a brand manager, and you're not an entertainer.”“Preacher, your job is not to create a message. Your job is to receive a message.”“Preaching is the connection between eternity past and eternity future.”“Theology must become biography.”Key ScriptureTitus 1:1–3Paul describes his ministry as being for the faith of God's elect, their knowledge of the truth that accords with godliness, and their hope of eternal life—promised by God before the ages began and manifested at the proper time through preaching.About Dr. Danny HydeDr. Danny Hyde is a pastor, theologian, author, and experienced expositor committed to the faithful proclamation of God's Word. In this session, he draws from decades of pastoral ministry to encourage preachers to remain humble beneath Scripture, serve their congregations faithfully, and trust God to work through the ordinary means of preaching.Dr. Danny Hyde's Newest BookDanny's newest book, A Christian's Pocket Guide to the Presence of Godhttps://www.christianfocus.com/en-gb/product/9781527114258/a-christians-pocket-guide-to-the-presence-of-god-paperbackThis concise guide traces the theme of God's presence from Eden to the New Creation, showing how the Triune God draws near to his people through creation, covenant, the incarnation of Christ, and the continuing work of the Holy Spirit.About Expositors CollectiveExpositors Collective exists to equip, encourage, and mentor the next generation of Christ-centred preachers.

When a pastor gets behind a pulpit each week, he must give a teaching. His sermon should be centered around a text more than a title. If there is no genuine teaching, there will be no genuine growth. A big part of Yeshua's ministry was his teaching.
Paul told Timothy to give attention to ‘the reading.' The reading of what? This sermon reaches back to the book of Exodus to find the answer to that question. Nehemiah 8:8 is capitalized on.
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.
