Romans 14 | Grace: Applied Christianity

"Christmas is DYNOMITE"

In this compelling episode, Pastor Karl dives into Romans 14, exploring what he calls "Applied Christianity." This chapter challenges both seasoned and new believers to navigate the balance between personal freedom in Christ and public restraint for the sake of others. Pastor Karl unpacks the concept of spiritual maturity, emphasizing private liberty and public restriction as biblical principles rooted in love. He addresses the tension between those strong in faith, who live in the freedom of grace, and those weak in faith, who adhere to stricter rules, using the historical context of meat sacrificed to idols to illustrate disputable matters. Through practical examples like alcohol, Halloween, and homeschooling, Pastor Karl highlights how non-essential issues should not divide the church. He introduces the "law of love," urging listeners to prioritize others' faith over personal freedoms, and explains the Bema Seat judgment, where Christians are rewarded for their sacrifices, not judged for salvation. Join Pastor Karl for a thought-provoking discussion on living out faith with grace, love, and unity.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 9:00am & 10:30am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

The Burial of Jesus: A Testament to Faith and Hope!

"Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent member of the Council who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God, boldly went to Pilate and asked for Jesus' body. Pilate was surprised to hear that he was already dead. Summoning the centurion, he asked him if Jesus had already died." Mark 15:43-44 In laying Jesus to rest, we witness a profound reflection of Jewish tradition and the value placed on honoring the deceased. Mark 15:40-47 recounts this significant moment, highlighting the roles of Joseph of Arimathea and Mary Magdalene as they lovingly prepare Jesus' body for burial. The care taken in this ritual underscores a deep respect for life that persists even in death. Burial in Jewish culture is not merely an end; it symbolizes a transition and a connection to the divine. The practice embodies the belief in resurrection and the hope of eternal life. As Ecclesiastes 3:20 reminds us, "All go to one place; all are from the dust, and to dust all return." This understanding of death encourages the faithful to cherish their time on earth while holding onto the promise of life beyond. Genesis 3:19 says, "By the sweat of your brow you will eat your bread, until you return to the ground, because out of it were you taken. For dust you are, and to dust you shall return.” The story of Jesus' burial also serves as a bridge between despair and hope. In John 11:25, Jesus proclaims, "I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die." In other words, death is not the end but a doorway to a new beginning, reflecting God's everlasting love and commitment to His creation. As we reflect on Jesus' burial, let us also remember how we can honor those we have lost in our lives. Each act of remembrance serves as a testament to our faith and love, reminding us of the bonds that remain unbroken by death. As Paul writes in Romans 14:8, "For if we live, we live for the Lord, and if we die, we die for the Lord. So whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord." Prayer for the Day! Heavenly Father, we thank You for the gift of life and the promise of resurrection through Your Son, Jesus Christ. Help us to embrace the hope found in His burial and to honor our loved ones with love and remembrance. May we find comfort in Your presence during times of loss and be reminded that death is not the end but a beautiful continuation of our journey with You. In Jesus' name. Amen.

Grief is heavy, but it doesn't have to hold you hostage. In this raw and heartfelt episode, Michal, host of Her Promise Circle Podcast, dives into the reality that grief and joy can exist at the same time—and that God meets us in both. Breaking down Genesis 35, Michal explores how Jacob experienced both deep loss and new life in the same season—losing his wife Rachel while welcoming his son Benjamin, all while stepping into the promise of Canaan. This story mirrors the tension so many of us feel in seasons of mourning: how do we move forward without feeling guilty? How do we hold onto joy when our hearts are broken? This episode is an invitation to feel everything—the pain, the joy, the comfort, and the hope—all while standing firm in who God is and has always been. You don't have to rush through grief or get stuck in it. You can hold both.

301 Managing Seasonal Affective Disorder with Faith and Hope: Finding Light in the Darkness

Your Hope-Filled Perspective with Dr. Michelle Bengtson podcast

Episode Summary:  Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a subtype of depression characterized by recurrent episodes that occur at specific times of the year, most commonly during the fall and winter months. It is officially classified as a type of major depressive disorder with seasonal pattern in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5). If you struggle with seasonal depression during the winter months, know that you aren't alone, and there is help. In this episode, Jessica and I discuss managing seasonal affective disorder: what it is, how to recognize it, and practical strategies to cope with it. Quotables from the episode: Seasonal Affective Disorder is a mental health concern that typically shows up in the colder, darker winter months, linked to seasonal changes. Up to 3% of the general population is prone to Seasonal Affective Disorder. But those who are prone to depression are 10-20 times more likely to experience Seasonal Affective Disorder. Some common symptoms of seasonal affective disorder include fatigue or exhaustion, feelings of sadness, increased loneliness, discouragement, lack of motivation, decreased interest in previously enjoyable activities, change in appetite, and/or change in sleep patterns. If you've experienced more than a couple of these for more than a few weeks, you might be struggling with Seasonal Affective Disorder. There are many contributors to seasonal affective disorder: Biologically, studies have proven that the changes in the amount of sunlight significantly impacts our hormones and our mood. There are psychological contributors to seasonal affective disorder: we have just come off the holidays where there's so much to do that it's difficult to maintain a consistent schedule. Often we skimp on eating nutritionally, we skimp on sleep because we need more time to get everything done. Then come January 2nd, we wonder “what now? What do I have to look forward to now?” Seasonal affective disorder can impact our ability to hear God's voice. There are examples in the Bible that if we were to apply current clinical diagnostic criteria 2000 years ago, there are several who probably would have been diagnosed with depression: Jeremiah, Job, David. The winter months look so barren. Everything appears dead, but it's not. It's a season of wintering. If the land doesn't have winter rest, the soil gets depleted. If we can look at SAD as a time of wintering and hold on to the fact that God does a mighty work even in the winter, it can give us hope and it can build our faith even when we are struggling with SAD.” During the wintering months, God is doing something even our outside environment looks like it's dead. If we focus on the fact that life feels really dark when you struggle with seasonal affective disorder, but God is our light. John 1:5 “The light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it.” But when we're struggling with seasonal affective disorder, it can feel like darkness has overcome us. For many who struggle with seasonal affective disorder, a light therapy lamp can be helpful because it mimics the sunshine we don't get enough of during the winter months. You can sit in front of that light for 10-30 minutes a day while you're reading, while you're doing your quiet time in the morning, or have it next to you in the kitchen where you're fixing a meal. Because seasonal affective disorder can have an impact physiologically on our body, it's important during the winter months that we are still getting time outside, even when it's not sunny. Research has shown that just taking a walk for 10-15 minutes outside significantly elevates mood. When it's too cold to get outside, you can move with the sun through your house. Sit near a sunny window. During the winter months, it's important to make sure you are getting enough vitamin D. During winter months, consider taking up a new hobby that would bring you joy. When I have too much time alone, I find myself in this weird cycle of knowing that I need to do, which is to go be by people, but not having the energy or motivation to go be by people. During the darker winter months, my daughter and I plan Saturday fun days. We made a list of things that we could do each Saturday through January and February so we'd have something to look forward to. They don't have to cost any money. One Saturday it was “Let's stay in our pajamas and watch morning movies.” One Saturday we did painting. You may not feel like you have the energy to exercise, so start small. Set a small goal of just 5 minutes, and over time you will find that that will give you more energy to exercise longer two or three days later. If you are suffering, cling to the Lord. He will guide your steps. He will walk you through this darkness. In part 2, we will be offering more practical strategies to help you cope with seasonal affective disorder. Scripture References: John 1:5 “The light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it.” Isaiah 43:1-3 ““Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.”   Recommended Resources:  Reframing Rejection: How Looking Through a Different Lens Changes Everything By Jessica Van Roekel Sacred Scars: Resting in God's Promise That Your Past Is Not Wasted by Dr. Michelle Bengtson  The Hem of His Garment: Reaching Out to God When Pain Overwhelms by Dr. Michelle Bengtson YouVersion 5-Day Devotional Reaching Out To God When Pain Overwhelms   Today is Going to be a Good Day: 90 Promises to Start Your Day Off Right by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner of the AWSA 2023 Inspirational Gift Book of the Year Award, the Christian Literary Awards Reader's Choice Award in four categories, and the Christian Literary Awards Henri Award for Devotionals YouVersion 7-Day Devotional, Today is Going to be a Good Day YouVersion 7-Day Devotional, Today is Going to be Another Good Day Breaking Anxiety's Grip: How to Reclaim the Peace God Promises by Dr. Michelle Bengtson Breaking Anxiety's Grip Free Study Guide Free 7-Day YouVersion Bible Reading Plan for Breaking Anxiety's Grip Hope Prevails: Insights from a Doctor's Personal Journey Through Depression by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner of the Christian Literary Award Reader's Choice Award Hope Prevails Bible Study by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner of the Christian Literary Award Reader's Choice Award Trusting God Through Cancer 1 Trusting God Through Cancer 2 Revive & Thrive Women's Conference Subdue Stress and Anxiety: Fifteen Experts Offer Comprehensive Tools in Ten Minutes a Day.

In this heartfelt episode of the Choose 2 Think Inspirational Podcast, I dive into the theme of embracing change and navigating life's transitions with faith. As autumn approaches and a fresh wind blows through the ministry, I reflect on the benefits of transitions and what happens in your life as you grow: Transition will stretch your faith, deepen your dependence on God, and bring you closer to His purpose. I address common thoughts, fears, and doubts that arise during uncertain times, offering biblical truths and encouragement to help you trust in God's plan. Whether you're facing changes like a child leaving for college, welcoming a new grandbaby, or stepping into new personal territory, this episode provides insight and inspiration to help you move forward with hope and confidence.

Do you find it hard to maintain enthusiasm for evangelization? You're not alone. Many of us in ministry face moments of profound fatigue and discouragement. But let me share something with you: the key to reigniting that passion lies in rediscovering the love and hope gifted by God which first called us to this mission. Today, I bring you the wisdom of Fr. John Riccardo, founder of Acts XXIX (https://www.actsxxix.org/) and The Rescue Project (https://rescueproject.us/). He discusses how to: * Create intimate environments where the gospel can come alive. * Turn prayer into more than an agenda item, listening for God's direction. * Build a family out of those on mission with you * Restore hope, unity, and zeal to tired laborers in the vineyard Yes, the challenges are real, but so is the power of God's plan. Lean into that, and you'll find your enthusiasm renewed and your mission reinvigorated.

Despite these challenges, his moment of seeking forgiveness and acceptance in the midst of despair illuminates the enduring power of salvation.

For Jesus' followers it not need be so. “We fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. The things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever.”
