We believe that the Great Commission isn't just a task for a few—it is an identity for all of us. Throughout this series, we are exploring how loving our neighbors is the essential first step in reaching the nations From our doorsteps to the ends of the earth, we are called to be a people who live out the Gospel in every relationship and every corner of the globe.
The French Revolutionary Jacques Hébert called for a system of zealous perfection. Eventually that standard consumed everyone, including himself. For us, we follow Christ's teaching on forgiveness until it is personal. We affirm his ethic on generosity until it costs us something real. Whether it's the legalism of the Galatians or our own selective faith, both confess the same thing: that Christ is not sufficient. This sermon works through Galatians 5:2-15 to show what falling away from grace actually looks like — and how the Spirit frees us to run to him with empty hands.
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

“The Fruit of the Spirit, Part 4” - a final lesson on the last 3 characteristics of the fruit of the Spirit - faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control - as supernatural evidence of genuine salvation, produced not by human effort but by the indwelling Holy Spirit.

Every person faces a choice: Will we follow the desires of the flesh, or will we walk by the Spirit?In this lesson from Galatians 5, we examine the two paths that stand before us. One path follows the world and its temptations, leading ultimately to destruction. The other follows Christ, requiring faith, self-control, and sacrifice, but leading to eternal life.Using Jesus' temptation in the wilderness as the perfect example, this lesson challenges us to choose the narrow way and live according to the Spirit rather than the desires of the flesh.Key themes include: Walking by the Spirit (Galatians 5:16-26) The conflict between flesh and spirit The narrow gate and the broad way (Matthew 7) Jesus' victory over temptation (Matthew 4) The works of the flesh The fruit of the Spirit Choosing Christ every day "But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh." (Galatians 5:16)The Christian life is not a passive journey. Each day we must consciously choose which path we will follow. Through Christ, we can overcome temptation, bear spiritual fruit, and walk the path that leads to life. #Galatians5 #WalkByTheSpirit #FruitOfTheSpirit #ChristianSermon #BibleStudy #ChurchOfChrist #Faith #ChristianLiving #JesusChrist #Temptation #NarrowGate #SpiritualGrowth #FollowJesus #BiblicalTeaching #ChristianEncouragement
You can have just enough flavor to fool everybody and even fool yourself…while still starving spiritually.But Jesus never called us to be fruit-FLAVORED. He called us to be fruit-FILLED.This message will challenge the way you think about spiritual growth, the Holy Spirit, and what real transformation actually looks like.

In this message from The Beatitudes, Angie Richey teaches from Matthew 5:5 that meekness is power under control. Meekness is not weakness, but strength submitted to God, emotional regulation, holy restraint, and trust that God can defend, heal, and lead us without our need to dominate, retaliate, or control every outcome.Click here to view the episode transcript.

Galatians 5:1-15: Freedom Under Fire (Who Are You?) taught by Pastor Justin Butorac on 05-24-26.
Pastor Marshall Ochs | May 24, 2026In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Galatians 5. In Galatians 5, Paul emphasizes that believers are freed through Christ not to return to slavery under sin or legalism, but to live by faith and serve others through love. Paul contrasts the works of the flesh with the fruit of the Spirit, teaching that true Christian freedom is found in walking by the Spirit and reflecting Christ's character within a community of believers. The chapter ultimately highlights that spiritual freedom is not for selfish living but for building up and blessing others.
“The Fruit of the Spirit, Part 3” - a lesson on how the Holy Spirit supernaturally produces patience, kindness, and goodness within us so that we can reflect God's radical grace to others amidst the chaotic messiness of human relationships.

Believers who walk in step with the Holy Spirit will increasingly display the fruit of the Spirit that reflects God's character, reject the sinful desires of the flesh, and live in the freedom that Christ offers.

In this podcast episode Mark and Cindy bring Galatians chapter 5 to a vivid and practical conclusion, contrasting the “works of the flesh” with the “fruit of the Spirit” in a way that challenges listeners to examine their daily lives, explaining how destructive behaviors—ranging from selfish ambition to unchecked anger and indulgence—stand in direct opposition to the Spirit-led life, ultimately leading away from God's kingdom. In contrast, the episode highlights the beautiful, unified character produced by the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, and self-control, among others, emphasizing that faithful believers belong to Christ, having crucified their old nature. The message calls listeners to actively walk in step with the Spirit, cultivating godly character and rejecting pride and comparison. Ultimately, it's a call to transformation—living a life that visibly reflects God's nature from the inside out, all to His glory in preparation to meet Him face to face in the last day to eternally bask in the wonder of His immediate presence.
Two Kinds of SlaveryOne Kind of LoveWhat should we do
This week, Katia Adams shares a message drawn from Galatians 5:13–6:18 and Ephesians 4:25–32. Anchoring her teaching in Paul's instructions to the churches of Galatia and Ephesus, Katia addresses what she identifies as one of the most pressing and spiritually dangerous patterns in the contemporary church: the way believers have absorbed a culturally-driven model of accountability and called it justice.Using the vivid image of a rogue tomato plant that grew uninvited in her garden — cute at first, then destructive — Katia frames the sermon around five diagnostic questions every believer must ask before bringing correction: What is your proximity? What is your practice? What is your purpose? What is your posture? What is your perspective? She moves through each with pastoral specificity, pushing back against social media callout culture, third-party documentaries and podcasts about people we've never met, and self-appointed "correction ministries" that elevate exposure over restoration. Real accountability, she argues, requires proximity — the same proximity that led God himself to become flesh and move into the neighborhood.The theological anchor of the message is the conviction that the Holy Spirit is not poured out to give us goosebumps, but to uproot the poisonous seeds of offense, gossip, and self-righteous judgment that have no place in the heart of a believer. Katia draws directly on Galatians 6:1 — restore him in a spirit of gentleness — and contrasts it with the spirit of accusation the body has so readily embraced, reminding her listeners that the accuser has a name, and his name is Satan.Ultimately, this sermon is an invitation to let Scripture read us rather than the other way around — to examine our hearts honestly, uproot what grieves the Holy Spirit, and commit to a costly, inconvenient, Spirit-empowered love for the body of Christ. Katia closes with a charge that is both convicting and hopeful: how we speak to our children, our neighbors, and those who have made a mess of their lives will form our crown to give to Jesus — so make it a good one.
