Halloween doesn’t have to be a night of fear—it can be a night of faith in action. Rooted in Matthew 5:16, this devotional reminds believers that even on the darkest day of the year, God’s light shines brightest through us. Instead of retreating, Christians can use Halloween as a powerful opportunity to connect, protect, and share Christ’s love with their neighbors. Whether through simple acts of kindness, offering a safe space, or handing out a message of hope, we can turn Halloween into a day of light. Highlights Transform Halloween from a day of darkness into one of redemptive mission and community connection. Designate your home as a safe house where children can find refuge and kindness amid the chaos. Share the Gospel naturally by including tracts or church invite cards with candy. Host a bonfire or neighborhood gathering to build relationships and spark meaningful faith conversations. Use Halloween as an opportunity to demonstrate God’s love and create a welcoming, light-filled atmosphere.

When the mission feels massive, how do you take the first step? We all feel the pressure. With souls on the line, it feels like we need big plans, big programs, big results. But what if the most fruitful thing you could do today was simply to take one small step? In this episode, I share four strategies that have helped me and others start small, build momentum, and trust that God will grow what we begin. Whether you're leading a parish, a ministry, or just trying to follow Jesus more closely, I want to encourage you: don't wait for perfect. Start small. God delights in small beginnings, and He'll grow them into something beautiful. [01:42] Strategy 1: Shrink the First Step [02:46] Strategy 2: Do the Next Right Thing [04:42] Strategy 3: Settle for Incomplete and Imperfect [08:43] Strategy 4: Biblical Encouragement to Start Small [10:11] Closing Thoughts and Prayer For more practical advice and experiences from real people sharing their mission with the world, go to https://equip.archomaha.org/podcast/.

What would you do if you were running the last cross-country race of your high school career and that race was the state championship meet? Now I'm not a cross-country runner, but I imagine that I would be racing to not only win, but to do the best I had ever done. I recently ran across the story of Kaylee Montgomery, a high school senior who set out to beat her personal best in the Arkansas state championship cross-country race. Just forty yards from the finish line, Kaylee came up on a rival runner, who had collapsed from exhaustion. Kaylee stopped, helped Julia Worthington up, and supported her body as they moved together slowly to the finish line, while all the other runners passed. When interviewed, Kaylee said that she was encouraging Julia, praying that the Lord would give Julia strength to finish. In a world where winning is increasingly seen as everything, we applaud this kind of Christ-like service from a teen. Let's encourage our kids to do the same.

This week, we wrap up our Faith in Action Series. In a world that runs on hurry, James invites us to slow down, trust God's timing, and let the waiting become the space where faith grows deep. We hope you will be encouraged.

In this compelling sermon, Pastor Karl dives into Matthew Chapter 2, exploring the journey of the wise men and the early life of Jesus. He unpacks the historical and political context of Herod's tyrannical rule and the profound obedience of Mary, Joseph, and the magi in the face of uncertainty. Pastor Karl emphasizes that faith grows not in comfort but through obedience, even when it feels like exile or leads to unexpected places like Nazareth. Highlighting the transformative power of worship and sacrifice, he challenges listeners to prioritize Jesus' story over their own, trust God's providence in difficult seasons, and remain faithful wherever God places them. Join us for an inspiring message that encourages steadfast faith and submission to God's plan. 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

In this episode of The Game of Life series, Pastor Mark unpacks what it really means to “keep score where it counts.” Drawing from Romans 12:10, he invites us to rethink success—not in terms of wealth, status, or achievements, but in the depth of our love and relationships.What if the real competition in life wasn't about getting ahead, but about outdoing one another in showing honor? What if the greatest victories came through small acts of kindness, generosity, and grace?Through practical examples and heartfelt teaching, Pastor Mark helps us see that when we love God fully and love others deeply, we're winning in the only game that truly matters.Listen in and discover how to live with purpose, measure your life by love, and keep score God's way.

Pastor John-Mark kicks off our Faith Promise season sharing a humbling story of being trapped in mud with his trusted 4x4, illustrating that "hope by itself is not a good plan." Through the biblical account of four determined friends who lowered a paralyzed man through a roof to reach Jesus, he reveals how our faith in action—not just wishful thinking—can transform lives here and around the world. Like those nameless friends, we have the incredible opportunity to help others encounter Jesus through Faith Promise giving. Don't miss this powerful message about moving beyond hope to purposeful action in reaching the unreached.

LUKE 18:1-8 This is the holy gospel according to Luke. Glory to you, O Lord. Then Jesus told them a parable about their need to pray always and to not lose heart. He said, in a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor had respect for people. In that city there was a widow who kept coming to him and saying, grant me justice for my accuser. For a while he refused, but later he said to himself, though I have no fear of God and no respect for anyone, yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will grant her justice so she may not wear me out by continually coming. And the Lord said, listen to what the unjust judge says. And will not God grant justice to his chosen ones who cry to him day and night? Will he delay long in helping them? I tell you, he will quickly grant justice to them. And yet, when the Son of man comes, will he find faith on earth? This is the gospel of the Lord. Praise to you, O Christ. Good morning. Good morning. My name is Jesse. I am the program innovator for Living Water Ministries. I've been working year round for Living Water for three years. Actually, last week I just celebrated my three year anniversary. So I've been on staff for three years, but camp has long been a part of my life. I was a camper through my whole childhood. I worked on summer staff. And now I am so blessed to be able to be part of the work that we do all year round. Before I talk about the gospel, I want to extend my gratitude to all of you. Faith and the people here have long been a part of camp and our programs. You have kids who come to camp, volunteers who can't come to camp and work with U.S. donors. Your pastor comes to camp every year. Camp is a really big part of this faith community. I also want to share with you a little bit about Living Water. For those of you who don't know us, the first thing that we do is summer camp. That's our main thing that we do. And during our typical weeks of camp, we have campers who are grades one through 12. And we do worship in the morning and we sing songs and we create this really, really special community for kids of all these ages. We have a couple of specialized programs. We have a week of camp for adults with developmental disabilities. We have a week of camp called Bridge Builders for high schoolers. And this is anti racism and leadership training. And new this year, we are launching a new program called In God's Image, which is a week of camp for LGBTQ high school youth. And coming up next Month we have Charge. Charge is a youth gathering for middle school and high schoolers, and this is at the Great Wolf Lodge. And Charge is an event that provides a powerful faith community where students get to develop leadership skills and grow in faith, all while having fun at the water park at Great Wolf Lodge. And because the love of Christ is abundant and freely given, Living Water believes that money should never be a barrier that stops a child from having a camp experience. So during COVID camp was closed for two summers, but this gave us the ability to give camp away for free in the summer of 2022. So every kid who came to camp in 2022 did so at no cost. And so since then, we have offered a tier pricing system to keep this equity going. So when families register their camper, they have the choice of paying full price, half price, or no price, no questions asked. It's just something that they get to select when they are registering their camper. So this and all of our ministry is made possible through generous individuals and congregations sharing their gifts with campers. Every year we hold our Run the Race campaign where runners and non runners alike come together and everybody commits to raising $2,000 and running a 200 mile relay race from Traverse City to Muskegon. So last month, we held our Run the Race event, and. And we raised over $131,000, which is so cool. And all of that gets to go to making camp the best place that it can be. And so why all this matters to you, why I'm telling this to you, is because of the people sitting in the pews with you. You have kids who come to camp. You have people who volunteer. Those campers become summer staffers. And your pastor is part of camp. The people at Faith sitting with you are super involved in the work that God does at camp. And we do all this because of the gospel. We do all of this work because of Jesus. So in the parable today, Jesus asks, asks us that if the people cry out to God, will he delay long in helping them? So if we cry out, will God help us? And honestly, sometimes it seems like God's not like he is delaying, like we've been crying out for quite some time and not hearing anything back. Because how long must we cry out until we finally see justice? How long must we cry out until we see an end of genocide? How long must we cry out until our black and brown siblings stop being kidnapped and murdered? How long until our children are safe in their schools? How long? Because sometimes it feels like we can't cry Any louder and still nothing. Jesus also asks, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth? And I think that the answer to that is also no. If Jesus comes to earth today, do you think he's happy with all of this? Is he impressed with our faithfulness? And I don't think so. I think that this is so far from the image of the kingdom of Earth that God has planned for us. This is so far from God's plan of perfect discipleship. And where is the faith on earth? In the first reading, Jacob wrestles with God. And this isn't a short wrestling match. Wrestling matches, we know, are about, what, two minutes? You know, it's a couple minutes and someone counts to three, and then it's over. But that's not what this was. God came to Jacob in the night, and they wrestled until daybreak. And God even says to Jacob, let me go. But Jacob says, I will not let you go until you bless me. And when the wrestling match ends, Jacob overcame and God blesses him. But Jacob doesn't walk away completely victorious. He walks away with a limp. He walks away blessed and limping. And this is what our prayer and what our faithfulness is supposed to look like. It's supposed to look like this wrestling match where we are relentlessly clinging to God and not letting go until God blesses us, holding on despite the risks, despite the injury, despite the people telling us to give up, to let go, to go home, to hold on even though we will walk away with a limp. I could tell you 100 success stories about camp, about the kids who came to camp not believing in God and then left excited about Jesus. The kids who came their whole lives and became counselors, the kids who finally found a refuge and a home at camp where they could finally be themselves. But that's not what I'm going to do. I will be happy to share these stories with you after service. I have plenty of them. But right now, I'm going to share a story with you that left me limping. Last summer, I sent a camper home. He made it about halfway through the week. But after multiple attempts at running away and getting physical with another camper and with a staff member, we made the decision that he had to go home for the safety of other campers and for his safety. But that still hurt. I felt like I had just failed this kid. I was trying to be something for him, and I fell short. And I was beating myself up, thinking, are we really creating a place for all of God's children? Are we really doing this right? And really, the answer is yes. And I had to make the hard decision to keep people safe. And I told his mom when she came to pick him up that camp isn't a no for him. This isn't a no. It's a not yet. So when he's ready to come back, we are ready for him. We will be here, because that is holding on to God and not letting go until he blesses us. And so that is why we tell every single kid that the love of God is for them. We tell every single kid that they can come just as they are. Tell every single kid that there is nothing that they could ever, ever do that would make God love them less. And that is the wrestling that we need to be doing. And I'm not letting go of that. And I will be limping, and I will be blessed.

When we feel limited by our circumstances, our prayers, or even our imagination—God reminds us that His power working within us is not bound by what we see or understand. "Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think..." This isn't just a promise—it's a posture of hope. A declaration that even in seasons of waiting, weariness, or wondering, God is already moving beyond our expectations. So today, let's lean into that truth. Let's dream boldly, pray deeply, and trust fiercely. Because the power at work in us is divine, and the outcome? Greater than we could ever ask or imagine

Faith is defined as assurance in God's promises, distinct from wishful thinking, and is foundational for forgiveness. Jesus embodies God's nature and is central to faith. Enoch's life and Methuselah's naming illustrate intercession and judgment, while Noah's obedience exemplifies faith in action, leading to righteousness and hope for salvation. The message encourages a personal relationship with God through faith and forgiveness.

"If we lived in the poorest, most dangerous neighborhoods, we'd understand better how to love and serve." — Dr. Kurt Ver Beek It was great to sit down with Dr. Kurt Ver Beek, co-founder of the Association for a More Just Society (ASJ), who has lived and worked in Honduras for nearly four decades. From battling systemic corruption to reducing the homicide rate in one of the world's most dangerous communities, Kurt shares a riveting account of faith in action and public justice rooted in Christian conviction.

James challenges us to move beyond words and into works — not because works save us, but because true faith naturally produces good fruit. When our hearts are surrendered to Christ, our actions begin to reflect His character. Amy breaks down:

Patrick explores faith in action as listeners confront confession, remarriage, and spiritual honesty, challenging them to face hard truths about missing Mass and healing relationships. He contrasts Catholic perspectives on yoga and Tai Chi, raising warnings rooted in Church teaching while callers recount personal encounters with spiritual danger and deliverance. Personal stories of anxiety, forgiveness, and grappling with pride ripple throughout, sometimes shifting from the personal to the global, as Middle East tensions and struggles for peace frame the conversation. Audio: the west doesn’t understand who the real occupiers are - every ancient civilization occupied, silenced, and enslaved for 1,400 years by the same Arab Islamist forces. (00:20) Patrick continues his conversation with Vince from the end of the last hour about whether he is still married to his first wife after his second wife passed away. (01:30) Dwayne – What’s a good way to not be negative? (08:52) Sandy - If yoga doesn't pull us closer to God, then wouldn't football also be bad because it pulls us further from God? (12:44) Audio: Walmart is closing in Portland (18:01) Richard (email) - As always, Patrick dodges the elephant in the room (19:23) Paul (email) - Don’t we need to have a contrite heart in confession instead of simply going through the motions?

(23:16) Jodi - How do our will and emotions relate to one another? (25:06) Linda - Yoga is not against our faith. How dare you say it bad.

Have you ever felt powerless — like you've prayed all the prayers, said all the words, and nothing seems to change? When your child embraces an LGBTQ identity, it's easy to feel like your hands are tied and your hope is fading. But here's the truth: you are not powerless. In this episode of The Bridge Between Us, host Melinda Patrick reminds Christian parents, pastors, and counselors that while you may not be able to change your child's choices, you can partner with God in powerful, peace-filled ways. Through six simple but life-giving actions — Pray, Nurture, Love, Trust, Remember, and Live — you'll discover how to stay anchored in faith, love your child well, and reflect Christ in the middle of your ache. Melinda shares biblical encouragement, practical wisdom, and a faith-in-action challenge to help you shift your focus from what you can't do… to what you can do. Because you're not powerless — you're a parent partnering with the God of the impossible. Key Takeaways: Prayer isn't passive — it's powerful. Invite God to teach you how to love your child His way. Nurture the relationship even when you don't agree; soft soil grows seeds of truth. Love doesn't mean compromise — it reflects God's character and kindness. Trust God's heart, even when you can't trace His plan. Remember His past faithfulness; write your story as a testimony. Live with hope and joy — your faith in motion is a living witness. Faith in Action Challenge: *Read Psalm 18. Make note of who God is. *Take time to write your testimony — where God met you and how He's been faithful. Ask Him to show you one way to live from that place of hope. You are not powerless. You are standing in the gap — and heaven sees you.   Scriptures mentioned:  Judges 13 Psalm 18 Connect with Melinda Patrick: melinda@melindapatrick.org
