Podcasts about Expository preaching

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 ★

In this message from Matthew 16, Pastor Karl unpacks what it truly means to be a disciple of Jesus. This chapter marks a turning point in the Gospel of Matthew — Jesus shifts from miracles and crowds to confession and the cross, pressing his followers on three essential questions: What are you allowing to corrupt your faith? Who do you say Jesus is? And are you willing to pay the real cost of following him?Using the image of leaven, Pastor Karl warns against the subtle doctrines that quietly push Jesus off center — the Pharisees' tendency to add to God's Word and the Sadducees' tendency to subtract from it. Both lead to the same result: a faith that looks like Christianity but has lost its core. He then turns to Peter's confession at Caesarea Philippi — "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God" — and challenges us to ask whether the full scope of our lives actually agrees with what we claim to believe about Jesus. Finally, he confronts the cost of true discipleship head-on: a crossless Christianity isn't a safer version of the faith — it's a distortion of it. Following Jesus in principle but not in practice isn't discipleship; it's branding.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 message from Matthew 15:29–16:4, Pastor Karl examines two very different groups of people who come to Jesus — and what their approach reveals about how we receive grace.The first group comes from the Decapolis, a Gentile region with no religious standing or covenant claim. They bring broken bodies, unspoken needs, and nothing to offer — and Jesus meets them with compassion, healing, and even provision they didn't know to ask for. The second group, the Pharisees and Sadducees, arrives with suspicion and a demand for proof — and Jesus refuses to perform for them.The contrast surfaces a powerful truth: Jesus has endless compassion for those who come to him needy, but no obligation to satisfy those who come feeling entitled. Unworthiness isn't a disqualification for grace — it's the prerequisite for it.Pastor Karl unpacks why the disciples hesitated to feed the 4,000 (it wasn't that they forgot what Jesus could do — it was that they questioned who he'd do it for), what it really means to "fall from grace," and why the cross is the only reliable lens through which to interpret God's love. When we bring our "not enough" to Jesus, we find that inadequacy is exactly the raw material he's looking for.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

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 ★

In Matthew 15, Pastor Karl walks through two encounters that reveal how Jesus responds to very different kinds of people. The first is a confrontation with the Pharisees — religious leaders who had mastered looking clean on the outside while leaving their hearts completely untouched. Jesus exposes their hypocrisy and makes clear that the real issue is never what comes in from the outside, but what flows out from within.The second is a striking contrast: a Canaanite woman from Tyre and Sidon who comes to Jesus with nothing to offer — no credentials, no leverage, no religious standing. She simply cries out for mercy. When Jesus seems silent and even dismissive, she doesn't leave offended. She presses in, clings to grace, and receives what the Pharisees never could: a direct word of commendation from Jesus himself — "Great is your faith."God honors a transformed heart and exposes religious hypocrisy. And he blesses according to his grace — not our worthiness. This message is an invitation to stop trying to leverage God and start crying out for his mercy.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

What do you do when the storms of life hit? Our instinct is to hunker down, strain at the oars, and just try to survive. But what if the storm isn't just an obstacle — what if it's an invitation?Guest speaker Jeff Stemple walks us through one of the most familiar stories in Scripture: Jesus walking on water. And while the story is familiar, the truth buried inside it is anything but comfortable. By looking at the accounts in Mark, John, and Matthew side by side, Jeff unpacks why Matthew is the only gospel writer who includes Peter's attempt to step out of the boat — and why that "screw up" might be the most encouraging part of the whole story.The storms of life are invitations to step out in faith.Fear says stay put. Faith says step out. And what Jesus says to Peter in the middle of that storm, he says to all of us — come. The very place we least want to go may be the exact place Jesus is already standing, waiting for us to trust him.Whether your storm started last week or last year, this episode is for you.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

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 ★

The Resurrection of Christ is not just a Sunday morning doctrine — it is the foundation that holds up the entire Christian life. In this exposition of 2 Corinthians 4:13–5:10, Pastor Jim Osman draws out four concrete certainties that resurrection hope produces in the life of the believer and the minister of the gospel.First, our testimony is true. Because Christ is risen, Paul could not be silenced — not by beatings, shipwrecks, or the constant threat of death. The same risen Christ who will raise us up guarantees that what we proclaim is not myth but historical fact.Second, our suffering isn't wasted. Paul calls his afflictions "light and momentary" — not because they weren't severe, but because resurrection changes the math. Every trial endured with patient dependence on God is working an eternal weight of glory that no affliction in this life can diminish.Third, our immortality is pledged. This tent we live in will collapse, but God has prepared an eternal dwelling — a resurrected, glorified body fit for the new creation. The indwelling Holy Spirit is the down payment on that promise.Fourth, our service will be rewarded. We will all stand before the judgment seat of Christ, and what is done in this body — every act of obedience, every sin mortified, every sacrifice made — carries eternal weight.This episode is a call to fix your eyes on what is unseen, because resurrection hope is what keeps believers from losing heart. ★ Support this podcast ★

Death haunts everything — every joy, every marriage, every birth. But Pastor Jim Osman opens this exposition of 2 Timothy 1:8–11 with a declaration that cuts through every shadow: death has died.Writing from prison and facing his own execution, Paul calls Timothy to suffer for the gospel rather than retreat from it. His case rests on the gospel itself — a gospel dense with grace from eternity past to eternity future. God granted believers a saving, calling, and predestining grace before the foundation of the world. And He provided a Savior who, through His own death, abolished death and brought life and immortality to light.Christ didn't remove death from existence — He rendered it powerless. The fear that once held humanity in lifelong bondage — the uncertainty, the guilt, the dread of standing before a holy God — has been stripped away. In its place stands the certain hope of resurrection and the unshakeable promise of no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.The gospel is worthy of suffering for. And one day, death itself will be swallowed up in victory. ★ Support this podcast ★

Pastor Jim Osman opens in Psalm 119:97–104 with the psalmist's breathtaking declaration — "Oh, how I love your law!" — and shows what that kind of love actually looks like and what it produces in the life of a believer.This passage divides naturally into two halves, each anchored by a defining affection. The first four verses trace the fruit of loving the Word: wisdom that surpasses enemies, insight that exceeds teachers, and understanding deeper than age and experience. But the psalmist isn't boasting about himself. He's boasting about the Word of God — that one person armed with Scripture is better equipped for life and eternity than the accumulated wisdom of all the world's academics and sages without it.The second half moves from love to its necessary companion: a genuine hatred for every false way. Pastor Osman presses hard on this point — you cannot truly love truth without hating falsehood, and you cannot love God without hating evil. Spurgeon's insight frames it memorably: hatred is a stabbing affection, and the believer who rightly hates sin in himself will attack it, pursue it, and put it to death.The sermon closes with a direct challenge: the blessings of Psalm 119 are not for the lazy or negligent. They are reserved for those who consistently, relentlessly, and faithfully read, meditate on, and obey the Word of God. There is no shortcut to Christian maturity — only one path. ★ Support this podcast ★

Stephen continues to show that Moses was rejected by Israel of old, as a depiction of Yeshua being rejected by the then, current Israel. Stephen begins to bring up angels, which is interesting seeing the Sadducees (of which sect the High Priest belonged) didn't believe in angels.
