Program for 12/15/25 SAS Chapel: Hebrews 12:1-13

Tune in as we discuss the sermon, share how it impacts us, and our prompts for next steps and application as we ask ourselves what God is saying through this message. 

Pastor Dave Pack, Pastor=Elect

Many Christians are trying to follow Jesus while carrying far more weight than God ever asked them to bear. Worry, shame, regret, hidden sin, people-pleasing, expectations, disappointment, and the pressure to perform can feel like dragging a suitcase everywhere you go.But Hebrews 12:1–2 gives us a better way.In this sermon, we walk through one of the most powerful images in Scripture: the Christian life as a long-distance race marked out by God Himself. We explore what it means to:• Lay aside every weight• Confront the sin that clings so closely• Run with endurance• Fix our eyes on Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faithYou will discover how Jesus has already carried the heaviest burden at the cross, how the “cloud of witnesses” cheers you on, and how God calls you to run lighter, freer, and with renewed focus.If you've been feeling tired, stuck, weighed down, or spiritually distracted, this message will encourage you to put something down today and look again to Christ.

Daniel 5-6; Proverbs 2-3; Hebrews 12-13

In this stirring and deeply encouraging Advent message, Pastor Karl continues the series The King Has Come with a raw and life-giving exploration of the second great gift Jesus brings: peace.Turning to the familiar yet profound scene in Luke 2:8–20, Pastor Karl invites us into the midnight terror of ordinary shepherds—suddenly confronted by the blinding glory of God—and shows how the very first words from heaven that night were not “Merry Christmas,” but “Fear not.” That first Christmas did not begin with sentimental calm; it began with paralyzing, mega-fear. And right there, in the middle of stacked-on-stacked fear, the angel announced good news of great joy: a Savior has been born who is Christ the Lord, the Prince of Peace.With pastoral tenderness and unflinching honesty, Pastor Karl unmasks fear as the mortal enemy of peace—how it magnifies threats, shrinks our view of God, and paints our future in colors darker than God ever intended. Yet the gospel is stronger: peace is not the absence of trouble but the presence of a Person. Peace is not something Jesus gives; peace is who Jesus is—and He gives Himself.Through the shepherds' journey from terror to testimony, we're given clear, scriptural paths out of fear and into the unshakable peace of Christ: speaking God's truth over fear's lies, refusing to agree with the spirit of fear, drawing near to Jesus through spiritual disciplines, and taking bold steps of obedience that move us against comfort and toward surrender.This is a word for everyone whose heart has been ruled by anxiety, worst-case scenarios, or the quiet fears that steal joy—especially in this season. A tender yet urgent call to stop trusting the unknown future to our own control and start trusting it to the known God who entered our fear as a baby in a manger.Because the King has come, fear does not get the final word. Peace does. And when the Prince of Peace takes over a life, what spills out is no longer fear—but praise, testimony, and unshakable confidence in the goodness of God.Essential listening for anyone who longs to trade fear for the peace that passes all understanding this Christmas.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

Recorded October 29, 2025 — just weeks before Tallahassee — this conversation with Indiana Wesleyan Head Cross Country Coach Brody Beiler hits different now that the Wildcats went on to win the 2025 NAIA Men's Cross Country National Championship on November 21, 2025, and Coach Beiler was named NAIA Men's XC Coach of the Year.

Looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. - Hebrews 12:2

In chapters 6 and 7 Job replied to Eliphaz. He says in chapter 6, "My complaint is just". To get the full impact of the Hebrew poetry reading from a modern version such as the ESV is recommended. Metaphor after metaphor is added by Job in an attempt to explain that nature's lessons do not agree with Eliphaz's contentions. In verses 8-9 Job asks the LORD to take away his life. From verses 24-30 he declares, if you can teach me and show me my faults I am ready to receive instruction. In chapter 7 Job says, that his life now is without hope. The truth of the words of verse 7 are echoed by James in chapter 4verses14-15. Verses 9- 10 of Job 7 tell us of an often-repeated truth in the Bible - that the dead are unconscious and incapable of thought. The rest of the chapter outlines the misery of Job's present life; and that death would be a better option.

Why does James say Abraham was justified when he offered Isaac? Wasn't Abraham a believer before that? I struggle so much with Hebrews 12 and the discipline of God. How can I see grace in this chapter? And what about the idea of Esau selling his birthright? That seems scary to me!

The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light. - Jesus (Matthew 6:22) Faith is the habit of seeing what God sees, but most of us suffer from vision deficiency. In the final chapters of the book of Hebrews, the author urges believers to fix our eyes on Jesus. By seeing Jesus for who he really is - the image of perfection and the pioneer of our faith - we will be able to see ourselves for who we are: imperfect sinners saved by grace through faith. Join us at The Story, Sundays in November, as we fix our eyes to see God's vision for our lives!

Today’s Bible Verse:“And have you completely forgotten this word of encouragement that addresses you as a father addresses his son? ‘My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline, and do not lose heart when he rebukes you.’” — Hebrews 12:5 God’s discipline isn’t punishment—it’s proof of His love. Hebrews reminds us that when God corrects or redirects us, He’s acting as a faithful Father, shaping our character and guiding us toward what leads to life. Instead of brushing off His correction or sinking into discouragement, we’re invited to see it as care. His discipline is purposeful, gentle, and always meant to strengthen us, not shame us. “Want to listen without ads?

What is the meaning of Hebrews 12:2? What does it mean to fix your eyes on Jesus? What does it mean that Jesus is the author and perfecter of our faith?

Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks!Good morning! Thank you for taking a few minutes to listen. If you are interested in the Daily Bible Devotional, you can find it at the links below:Amazon - (paperback, hardcover, and Kindle)YouTube Video Introducing the ContentFeel free to reach out with any questions: emersonk78@me.comHebrews 12Believers are called to run the race of faith with endurance, keeping their eyes on Jesus, who endured the cross and is now exalted. His example provides strength during trials. God disciplines His children to shape their character and lead them into holiness. Although painful at the moment, His discipline produces peace and righteousness. The chapter urges believers to strengthen those who are weary, pursue peace, and live in holiness. They are cautioned not to be like Esau, who gave up his birthright for temporary gain. A contrast is drawn between Mount Sinai, marked by fear, and Mount Zion, where believers come to a joyful gathering with angels, the redeemed, and God. Since they are receiving an unshakable kingdom, they must worship God with reverence, for He is a consuming fire. We are running a race that requires endurance, and we are not alone. Others have gone before us, and Jesus leads the way. He faced the cross, suffered with purpose, and is now seated in glory. When we go through hardship, it is not punishment but loving discipline from God. He is shaping us, teaching us, and helping us grow. His discipline may be difficult, but it brings peace and righteousness in the end. We must encourage those who are weak, pursue peace with everyone, and live holy lives. We are not standing in fear like those at Mount Sinai. We have come to something greater, a heavenly kingdom. Let us worship God with reverence, for He is holy and present. Holy Father, thank You for Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith. He endured the cross, faced shame, and now sits at Your right hand in glory. We will fix our eyes on Him when we grow tired or discouraged. Teach us to see Your discipline as love, shaping us into who You have called us to be. Strengthen us to walk in peace and holiness. May we never exchange Your promises for temporary comfort. Remind us that we belong to a kingdom that cannot be shaken, preserved by the blood of the new covenant in Jesus' name.  Thought Questions: What does it mean for you to have your eyes fixed on Jesus? How does He help you see that discipline is a part of honoring the Father? Is it important for Christians to feel cared for and supported? How do you regularly go about strengthening the weak among God's people? You have come to Mount Zion. What do you see, by faith, upon that mountain? And how does this view motivate reverence for God?
