I Am With You by Kevine by 826 Valencia

In Matthew 10, Pastor Karl highlights a pivotal transition in Jesus' ministry, where the disciples move from merely observing and admiring Him to being sent out as active participants in His mission. Jesus calls the Twelve, empowers them with authority to heal, cast out demons, and proclaim the kingdom of heaven, and then commissions them to go first to the lost sheep of Israel. This chapter marks a hinge point in the Gospel: following Jesus is not just about learning His teachings or attending gatherings—it demands responsibility, urgency, and full participation in sharing the good news.Jesus is strikingly honest about the cost. He instructs the disciples to travel light, relying completely on God's provision rather than personal security or contingency plans, emphasizing that dependence on Him is central to discipleship. He warns of inevitable resistance: they will face opposition from culture, religious leaders, and even family members, as allegiance to Him can divide households and bring persecution. Yet, Jesus promises divine help—the Spirit will speak through them in moments of trial—and calls for wise, innocent endurance, urging believers to flee persecution when possible not for self-preservation, but to reach more people with the gospel.Ultimately, Pastor Karl challenges the church: a faith that costs nothing accomplishes nothing. The true disciple pledges exclusive allegiance to Jesus, accepting the responsibility to live as radical image-bearers of Christ in the world, no matter the personal price. This message confronts comfort-seeking Christianity and invites every listener to decide if Jesus is worth the cost of true following.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 special year-end episode, Pastor Karl and the Flipside Church staff share their personal “Five Good Minutes” reflections on what God taught them throughout 2025. Tricia Cheshier speaks on trusting God and saying yes, overcoming fear to step into full-time children's ministry and watching her entire family grow bolder in faith. Michael Rondon reflects on a year of change, learning to be available and say yes upfront—discovering how one reluctant yes to coaching soccer became an answer to a former student's family's prayers. Alli Stemple shares about choosing joy amid uncertainty and witnessing God's providential will as closed doors led to unexpected open ones. Jeff Stemple unpacks the importance of understanding God's assignment, realizing that divine favor rests on the task God gives rather than on the person. Heather Botwright vulnerably recounts a difficult year of family health crises, yet celebrates God's faithful presence through His people and the strengthening of family bonds.Pastor Karl closes with his own lessons: returning to the bedrock of Scripture, leaning into God's sovereignty and providence, and remembering that Jesus builds His church. The common thread running through every story—saying yes to God, trusting His plan, choosing joy, and faithfully doing the job He assigns—leaves listeners challenged to reflect on 2025 and step boldly into 2026.A heartfelt, honest look at real faith lived out in real life.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

From the series, "Fear Not" – a 4 week series with Dave Stimers.Fear is a powerful and universal experience. It's not always bad, but when it takes over, fear exaggerates threats, steals our attention, and takes away hope. We can't live in fear. The good news is that we have plenty of reasons to fear not!Part 1: I Am With You. One of the most common commands in scripture is to not be afraid, and the most common reason why we shouldn't fear is because God is with us!

Joshua is going to need all the help he can get in leading a pretty rebellious people group.  Before he starts he gets a treasure from God: "I will be with you."What might change for you if you could hear those precious words: I will be with you? Where would you be stronger? When would you be more courageous? In What circumstances would you rely on Him saying, right here, right now, in this moment I AM WITH YOU?https://youtu.be/1-Y-7Gk1nK8

In life's transitions, do you ever feel overwhelmed or alone? Our guest speaker, Victor Amar of Vida Church, shares the message "I Am With You". Diving into Joshua 1:1-9, we see God's powerful promise to be with us every step of the way. Discover why you can be strong and be courageous no matter what you face, and learn the vital role of practicing God's Word as you walk in His presence and purpose.

“Ch01 Channel 1” by 2024-12-01 Recording. The post I Am With You appeared first on GCC Kendallville .

In the midst of a spiritual ceremony in the fall of 1996, Sten Linnander had a deeply transforming experience: The Earth made contact with him. As Sten heard a voice, he could see the planet in all her beauty, as if from space.He was instructed to go up on a mountain in Phoenix, Arizona, to continue the communication.“I hesitated. I am no Moses. But the voice came back. I was asked to come back to the mountain three times a week for three months. Then the transmission would end. And I did. And it was”, Sten tells.At first, he didn't know what to do within the information, or teachings, from Mother Earth. But almost fifteen years later he went back to his notes, dug deeper, made renewed contact and wrote two books about what he had learned. It is hard for a modern human, detached from nature, to imagine how a planet could communicate.“Well, if you see the Earth from space, like I was made to do, it is obviously a living entity. As I see it, I am speaking to the sum of all the Earth consists of. In a sense, I am speaking to an Earth that includes me. The Earth also told me she experiences everything that we experience. She is so close to us”, Sten says.What was her core message?“The main statement was that she is alive and conscious.”The Earth also told Sten that humans have been like her children, but that we have now grown up. She said: 'I ask you to enter a living relationship with me, and the rest will follow.'She asked us to embrace beauty and sexuality. Beauty means 'mirroring the inside to the outside'.Sten's communication with our living planet has led to two concrete projects.One is to build a device, preferably simple, that will enable intelligible communication between the Earth and humanity as a whole. Sten has made trials in collaboration with tech savvy people, but so far it hasn't been successful.The Earth has said that later on, when communication can become more sophisticated, she wants to show us what the history of the Earth really has been like. We are unaware of many things that have transpired, she claims.Another project is to produce small, affordable ‘living globes' that display what the Earth looks like in real time – daylight, weather patterns etc – and that everybody can have in their living room. The idea is inspired by the so-called ‘overview effect', the awe astronauts feel when they see our common cosmic home in all its beauty and vulnerability.Many environmentalists hate humanity and blame every adverse event on humans.“If we hate humanity, it's like a part of the Earth hating itself, because we are the Earth”, Sten says.“I have no time for negativity. There are plenty of negative aspects, but if you want to change things, you have to bet on the positive aspects of both humanity and the Earth.”“Some people are afraid of the Earth being conscious, because they think she's going to hate us and kill us all.”But we really fear ourselves?“Yes.”The final thing the Earth told Sten was a beautiful prospect: If we were in intimate, conscious connection with our planet, the possibilities would be limitless. We would be able to improve energy systems, housing, transportation, water and food supply, disease prevention, love relations and relations with animals.“When I heard that, I thought, if this is true, I just can't say ‘this is not for me'. I am on to something that is so incredibly big it's high time I do something.” Sten's personal website “I Am With You” website: Living globes project

BE OF GOOD CHEER.  Are you a cheerful person? Do you tend in personality to the positive rather than the negative? Do you see the glass half full rather than half empty, do you? You should, you know. For BE OF GOOD CHEER is not suggestive but rather a positive, aggressive biblical commandment. A cheerful, happy, joyful expression and more importantly heart, a cheerful heart is every bit required of Christians as any of the SHALT NOTS OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.  Being cheerful, joyful in a negative world, a marvelously positive thing should be no hardship for any Christian. To be happy in the service of the king, and as a result of the sacrifice of that very same king is a natural fruit of the spirit for the Christian. If all is made right, redeemed, forgiven and the full effects of the salvation experience having taken root, there is nothing to be worried about, nothing. Joy reigns and as the Holy Spirit resides, good cheer is the natural byproduct. Are you cheerful or are you a worrier?  More from the scripture:          DON'T BE DISMAL. So many walk through life with frowns on the face, anger in the eyes, jaw tight, lips pursed ready for battle. There is little or no love, joy, rejoicing in their spirit. They have never experienced the joy of Jesus Christ. Have you? If so, the last thing in your life would be DISMAL. You on the other hand, would infect the world with a:          SPIRITUAL SMILE. A joyful spirit, rejoicing in the Lord, thankful for everything. You would be genuinely a person of GOOD CHEER. Are you? The person of good cheer constantly REJOICES. The scriptural command for them to be glad and rejoice no matter the circumstances, including severe difficulties, persecution and more becomes a reality. No matter the negative circumstances, the positive Christian will always rejoice and be GLAD, exceedingly glad for the love of Christ rules. Even when faith is attacked, when Christianity is ridiculed, mocked and Christians persecuted as happens so often today, there is rejoicing, a thankful spirit, one of praise no matter how negative. Because, the love of Christ has permeated heart, soul and mind and the disciple of the risen Lord is a person of:          GOOD CHEER. Are you one, are you glad, exceedingly glad in Christianity no matter the negativity of this world, are you?  Our world is corrupt, full of lies, deceit, conspiracies, the fruits of what is most certainly:          THE POST TRUTH ERA. A true Christian loves the truth and believes wholeheartedly that only the truth will make us free but even in a culture where truth is cancelled, and where Christianity is attacked, and those who believe persecuted, there rings out loud and clear that blessed assurance:          BE OF GOOD CHEER. I, I the Lord have overcome the world. Do you believe that, do you? If you do, there is nothing to worry about, nothing. If you really do believe that, you can never be DISMAL. Frowns replaced by spiritual smiles. You cannot worry, a sin in its own right for you live this day and each day with the problems and potential thereof and the cheer, the joy, the gladness in your spirit will not allow you to worry about tomorrow. Rejoice in that. Be glad about that, exceedingly glad. Be thankful, in all things and especially that. Live positive in a negative world.  Radicals, the evil, Marxists and socialists would destroy our country. They would eviscerate our Constitution, especially our First Amendment freedoms of religion, speech and press, and petition and assembly. They would destroy democracy and eventually install Marxism as a way of life. So, then comes the commandment to resist the devil, RESIST EVIL. But even as you do, even as you take YOUR STAND, you and I should fight the fight of faith persons of good cheer, not looking dismal. Not to worry, to be joyful and rejoice, to be glad and thankful for the opportunity to serve and defend our Lord. And we should be thankful in all things especially the defense of our Christian faith and our love for Jesus Christ. Is that you? Do you live and believe that way, do you? This salvation, the love of the Lord, the reality of true Christianity is yours, you will do, believe and live all of that, a person of:          GOOD CHRISTIAN CHEER. We see the destruction of our educational system. We are told we must become advocates of CRITICAL RACE THEORY, the deconstruction of our American history, the watering down, the compromising or elimination of our Christian faith as America enters the new normal, the radical changes in culture, lifestyle and values. WE THE PEOPLE RESIST! We will not render unto CAESAR allegiance and obedience to all such for it is immoral, unbiblical, satanic and wrong, just plain wrong! We will defend, resist, fight the fight of faith all the while we are thankful in all things, exceedingly glad for the opportunity to stand up for our Lord, and to rejoice, cheerfully rejoice in that defense. Do you, will you resist, stand up, fight the fight of faith, will you? You should, I should because it is our Christian duty. Joyful, rejoicing, thankful Christians never compromise, never give in, stand tall in the face of evil, anything evil. May God encourage and strengthen you to do just that. Then says our Lord:          I AM COME THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE THIS LIFE MORE ABUNDANTLY!     Life is precious, abortion is wrong, DEAD WRONG. The surgeons' scalpels that kill the baby in the womb are just that, a horrible killing. We should resist abortion, evil as it is of the devil, in the fight of faith. Do you, do you fight back against abortion – killing? If you are truly Christian, the full effects of the total salvation experience having revolutionized your life, you must, YOU MUST! And the same with euthanasia. Whether the young unborn or the old in physical disrepair, killing, no matter the terminology is just plain biblically wrong and must be resisted by the true person of faith. Do you resist as a cheerful, joyful Christian, do you in the protection of life abundant? Our society seeks a new morality or none at all. It destroys Judeo – Christian values and morality, the very foundation of our beloved America. We the cheerful resist, fight against, often weary of the battle. Then come the comforting words of our Lord:          COME UNTO ME ALL YOU HEAVY LADEN AND I, I WILL GIVE YOU REST. I will comfort you, strengthen you and restore the resources I have given you, filling you once again with cheer, spiritual smiles, joy, and gladness of heart. Don't worry, my beloved says the Lord, I will give you rest. I have overcome this world and it will always be that way. You are mine and I am yours and we walk together, arm in arm in this world and we grow together forever in the world to come. Believe that and be comforted by that. Do you, do you really believe that? If you do, no matter what, you will be cheerful, joyful, thankful in all things. Life will always be positive, not negative. Then come wars and rumors of wars. Then come plagues, drought, pestilence and disease, floods, earthquakes and other natural disasters. Then comes persecution of the saints, those loved by the Lord. In all of that and no matter what come the comforting words of Jesus of Nazareth:          FEAR NOT! I AM WITH YOU! Don't be afraid, don't worry. Back to basics, cheerful, spiritual smiles, joy, rejoicing, gladness, exceeding gladness of heart, thankful in all things. That is the only way for a Christian to live, THE ONLY WAY NO MATTER WHAT! Do you live that way, do you believe that with all of your heart, do you? If so, then there is nothing, NOTHING to worry about.  Then come the trials and tribulations of life, the personal life, your life and mine. Death, disease, financial hardship, loved one forsaking family and other loved ones, families divided, especially over matters of faith, all so very painful to the core. But the answer, the antidote is there, right there. FEAR NOT. Don't be afraid of any of these things for:          I AM WITH YOU. Positive, wonderful assurance. Don't, DON'T says the Lord:          BE AFRAID. Don't be afraid! When you walk with me, there is nothing to fear, nothing. So, walk with me. Don't let go, don't move out on your own. Allow me to strengthen and give you wisdom as you fight the fight of faith, as you resist the devil. I will do that, says the Lord, if you never lose faith and trust in me. I will do that if you walk with me, holding tight. Even though, my beloved son or daughter, you walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will not let you fear any evil. My rod and my staff will comfort you and goodness and mercy will follow you all the days of your life. So, don't be afraid, afraid of nothing. Don't worry. Rejoice and be cheerful, DON'T BE DISMAL! Be of good cheer.  In life, and at the end, may you say proudly, confidently and joyfully, cheerfully:          I KNOW IN WHOM I HAVE BELIEVED!  Do you, do you really know Him, and believe in Him, do you? Even unto death? For the loving, joyful, cheerful Christian says with the Apostle Paul:          FOR ME TO LIVE IS CHRIST AND TO DIE IS GAIN. Is that you, is that the way you live and do you know full well and believe unconditionally that death is more, gain, to be with the Lord? Do you?  If so, then we can say with the angels of old who announced the coming, the birth of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ:          GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST         AND ON EARTH          PEACE AND GOODWILL         TO ALL HUMAN KIND. We are people of praise, glory, praising God for his love and mercy and glorifying all that has been done for us. We the believers are thankful in all things, no matter what. That is a task that can only be accomplished by those of good cheer, those not dismal, those who don't worry, those who are full of joy, rejoicing and thanking all day long. So, this is the day which the Lord hath made. Let us be glad, GLAD and rejoice therein. Let us walk with him this day, all day. Let us walk with him here and to look forward with all of our heart, soul, mind and strength to that blessed day when we will:         LIVE IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD FOREVER! Forever.

Of all the words that can touch our lives, you have cancer are some of the most frightening. For Nancy Novack, her diagnosis also made clear how little she knew about this new world and what she would need to face the next steps. Following her successful treatment for Stage IV ovarian cancer, she committed to offer resources to others facing a cancer diagnosis; to offer hope, information and resources to people in the same situation she had faced. As a thank you to the universe, Nancy's List, the organization she created, and I Am With You, the book she compiled, give people newly diagnosed the hand they need to hold as they navigate a new universe. And in the process, Nancy gives meaning to that terrible time and the support and love that held her through it.
