How many times should we forgive someone who has wronged us? In this message, Pastor Karl explores Jesus' powerful teaching in Matthew 18:21–35, revealing that forgiveness is not about keeping score—it's about reflecting the incredible mercy we've received from God.Through the Parable of the Unforgiving Servant, Pastor Karl explains the immeasurable debt of sin that Christ has forgiven and why that forgiveness transforms the way we respond to those who hurt us. Discover the difference between forgiveness and enabling harmful behavior, why forgiveness is central to life in God's Kingdom, and how releasing others from their debt brings freedom to our own hearts.Whether you're wrestling with past wounds, strained relationships, or the challenge of extending grace, this message offers biblical truth and practical encouragement to help you walk in the freedom Christ has made possible.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

Tony Alamo with Tony Alamo World Wide Ministries Scripture, Salvation, and the Battle Against Spiritual Darkness Ep220 How To Have Gods Life Living In You Part 118 Program 220 Opens With Prayer, Music, and Ministry Purpose In this episode of Tony Alamo, World Pastor Tony Alamo introduces Program 220, part 118 of How to Have God's Life Living in You. He explains that listeners can request a free CD or audiotape of the message, while the choir and orchestra perform “Yes, Jesus Loves Me” in the background. Tony references the ministry's Los Angeles church and then opens in prayer, asking God to anoint the broadcast, pour out the Holy Spirit, save souls, strengthen the church, and help people understand the difference between the kingdom of darkness and the kingdom of light. Letters From Zambia, the Solomon Islands, and Malawi The first section features listener and ministry letters read by Sharon. A letter from Zambia thanks Tony for literature that the writer says is enlightening people and being distributed in streets, towns, suburbs, schools, and offices. A letter from the Solomon Islands reports that fifteen families have repented and asks for Bibles and clothing for newly converted families. A letter from Malawi praises Tony's gospel literature, requests more materials, and asks for help obtaining a megaphone. Tony responds by encouraging the distribution of tapes, literature, Bibles, and practical assistance where possible. The Kingdom of Heaven and the Kingdom of Darkness Tony then begins the main sermon by contrasting the kingdom of heaven with the kingdom of darkness. He teaches that the Lord continues His incarnation through believers who walk in light, and that Christians are called to let God's light shine through them. In his doctrinal framing, darkness represents ignorance, deception, and spiritual blindness, while light represents the Word of God, truth, knowledge, Spirit, and life. He argues that the only way people can be drawn out of darkness is through mature children of light preaching the Word of God. Studying the Bible as the Source of Light A central teaching in the episode is that believers must study the Bible directly rather than relying only on preachers or teachers. Tony says the light of God is the knowledge of God, and that this knowledge is found in scripture. He urges listeners to compare every sermon or teaching against the Bible, saying that the Word of God is the only truth available on this side of eternity. He also strongly criticizes religions and institutions he believes reject or diminish the Word, presenting these criticisms as part of his attributed religious commentary. Worldly Knowledge Versus Spiritual Knowledge Tony contrasts worldly education and achievement with what he calls the knowledge of light. He says people may hold degrees, earn money, build careers, or appear intelligent in the kingdom of darkness, but still lack the knowledge needed to enter the kingdom of heaven. He uses his own background in the entertainment industry as an example, saying that before he was saved, he could help make people successful in worldly terms but could not lead them into eternal life. After becoming born again, he says he realized that true wisdom and power are found only in Jesus, the Word of God. End-Times Warnings, Prophecy, and Religious Commentary The sermon includes extended end-times warnings involving Israel, the Middle East, a false Messiah, 2 Thessalonians, the Vatican, political leaders, and one-world government claims. Tony frames global events as a theatrical deception that could cause people to mistake Satan for God if they do not know the depth of the Word. The transcript preserves these accusations and public-figure claims as Tony's statements, not independently verified facts. He uses this section to urge listeners to reject spiritual ignorance, read the Bible, and come into what he calls the light, regardless of what they have done in darkness. Heavenly Citizenship, Salvation Prayer, and Program Ordering Near the end, Tony teaches that believers live on Earth but have citizenship in the kingdom of heaven. He compares the blood of Jesus on the soul to a passport into God's kingdom, warning that continuing in sin revokes that spiritual standing in his theological view. He calls listeners to live as kingdom-of-heaven people, surrender selfishness, receive God's life within them, and be born again into the kingdom of light. The episode closes with a salvation prayer, followed by Sharon giving the ministry website, mailing address, phone number, and fax number for ordering Program 220, before Tony previews Program 221.

Nehemiah 8; Matthew 12-13

Some things seem valuable until you discover something worth far more. In this message, Pastor Phil explores two short parables from Matthew 13 where Jesus compares the Kingdom of Heaven to hidden treasure and a priceless pearl. Whether you've been searching for meaning your whole life or unexpectedly found yourself asking deeper questions, this message reminds us that following Jesus isn't about losing everything. It's about gaining the one thing that truly satisfies. When we see His value clearly, surrender becomes the greatest investment we'll ever make.Send us Fan Mail

Who's the greatest? It's a question we ask about quarterbacks, pitchers, and point guards—but Jesus' disciples asked it about the Kingdom of Heaven, and His answer flipped their entire framework upside down.In this message from Matthew 18:1-6, guest speaker Jeff Stemple unpacks what happens when the disciples' quiet argument about status and rank finally bursts into the open, and Jesus responds not with a ranking, but with a child standing in the middle of the room. Jeff explores how greatness in God's Kingdom isn't measured by achievement, platform, or comparison, but through humble, childlike dependence on God.Along the way, Jeff digs into what it means to humble yourself before you're humbled, how what we value reveals what we actually believe, and why welcoming and protecting children reflects the very heart of Jesus. Whether you're wrestling with insecurity, control, or the constant pull to measure up, this message points to a different scoreboard altogether—one built on trust, not status.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 Kingdom of HeavenSeries: Lectionary Preacher: Rev. Hilary Van WagenenDate: 14th June 2026Passage: Matthew 9:35-10:15

In Matthew 4:12-17, 23-25 we see a prophecy from Isaiah 9 fulfilled in the life and ministry of Jesus. Isaiah promised light would shine over a region that was living in darkness and under the shadow of death. We can have darkness over our land and lives, too. Only the light of Jesus can dispel that. But we as Christians are also called 'the light of the world'. This passage shows how Jesus shone 'Kingdom Of Heaven Light' and how we can do the same. Learn how to shine the rays of the Kingdom light. This message is available at https://www.preachtheword.com now in MP3 audio format...

The differences between the kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of God is not some dry theological hair-splitting, it is one of the keys that unlocks the prophetic program of Israel and the mystery program of the Church. The kingdom of heaven points to that literal, visible, earthly reign promised to Israel, when the Lord Jesus Christ will sit upon the throne of David and rule the nations from Jerusalem. That is why the Millennial Temple of Ezekiel 40–48 belongs on the left side of the image at the top of this article: it is architectural, national, earthly, Jewish, prophetic, and future. It is Heaven's government come down to the earth, with Israel restored, the King enthroned, and the nations brought under His righteous rule.“Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.” Matthew 21:43 (KJB)On this episode of Rightly Dividing, the kingdom of God, on the other hand, reaches beyond land, throne, temple, and nation, and speaks to the spiritual rule of God entered by the new birth and ultimately inherited in resurrection glory. That is why the Pretribulation Rapture of the Church belongs on the right side of the image, with a dividing line between the two of them. The Body of Christ is not waiting for Israel's temple to be rebuilt in order to receive its hope, but for the Lord Himself to descend from Heaven and call us up. The kingdom of heaven is connected with Israel's earthly promises; the kingdom of God includes the believer's spiritual standing, righteousness, peace, joy in the Holy Ghost, and the coming glorification of the redeemed. Related, yes, Jesus is King over both kingdoms, but they are not identical. Rightly dividing these two kingdoms keeps Israel in her lane, the Church in hers, and the word of truth exactly where God put it. Rightly dividing is the key to understanding the scriptures.

Title: Weddings and WalgreensScripture Reading: Matthew 22:1-14Series: SaltAre you treating the people around you like background characters in a video game or as souls invited to a royal banquet? Jesus illustrates the Kingdom of Heaven through the Parable of the Wedding Banquet, warning against the eternal consequences of rejecting God's invitation for worldly excuses. Believers must stop viewing neighbors as NPCs (non-playable characters) and instead embrace the command to invite everyone they encounter to the feast of Christ. Stop seeing people as background characters and intentionally invite someone in your daily life to experience the grace of God.

Jesus is the Messiah in an unexpected way, and His teachings are also unexpected." The Upside-Down Values of the Kingdom of Heaven", Craig Ford, May 24, 2026.

By David Jones - So often, when we think of Pentecost, we immediately think of Acts 2 and the founding of the Church by the giving of the Holy Spirit, but this was not the first time God made covenant with power and fire. God first established His Kingdom with the Children of Israel at Mr. Sinai. as a theocracy

In this week's message, we explore the ethic of the Kingdom found in Jesus' Sermon on the Mount. Far from ordinary or expected, this ethic is both extraordinary and deeply challenging. How can we possibly live up to such demanding standards? Join us as we wrestle through that question together.

Fr. Mike explores Jesus' mission of establishing the kingdom of God on earth, and who belongs in the kingdom of Heaven: all people. We see how Jesus identifies himself with the poor, lowly, and those who the world says are not important. If we do not welcome them, we cannot enter the kingdom. Fr. Mike challenges us to examine the fact that in order to gain entry into the kingdom, “one must give everything. Words are not enough; deeds are required.” Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 541-546.
