In this message, Pastor Karl walks through Matthew 19, where the Pharisees approach Jesus with pointed questions about divorce — testing him against the competing rabbinic schools of Shammai and Hillel. Rather than settling the debate on their terms, Jesus redirects them to God's original design for marriage from Genesis, addressing not just the surface question but the deeper issue underneath it: a hardened heart that looks for loopholes instead of surrendering to God's standard.Pastor Karl unpacks what Scripture teaches about marriage, divorce, and remarriage with pastoral care and honesty about how difficult these teachings can be to live out. He also explores the chapter's turn toward children, and the story of the rich young ruler — a man who came asking about religious righteousness but was really wrestling with money and control.The big idea: Jesus confronts the hardness of our hearts because his kingdom calls for commitment and sacrifice, while our natural tendency is to search for loopholes and excuses. This message is an invitation to let Scripture rebuke, correct, and train us — and to rely on the power of God's Spirit rather than our own willpower to live faithfully.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 episode of Kingdom Now, Pastor Karl continues the verse-by-verse study through Matthew 18, picking up where Jeff Stemple left off. Building on the disciples' question of "who's the greatest?", Karl unpacks Jesus's answer: none of us are — apart from Him, we're all dependent and called to humble, childlike faith.Walking through verses 7-20, Karl explores how Jesus's kingdom is neither casual about sin nor stingy with mercy. He digs into Jesus's strong warnings about cutting off whatever causes us to stumble, the parable of the wandering sheep (and why it's different from Luke 15's version), and God's heart to pursue those who wander — even when they know exactly where home is. The episode closes with practical, biblical steps for restoring relationships when a brother or sister sins against you, emphasizing that the goal is always restoration, not winning.A convicting and grace-filled look at how radical discipleship requires taking sin seriously while never giving up on people.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

Individualism builds walls, but Jesus prayed for something greater. A people marked by unity, humility, and sacrificial love. When we choose we over me, we reflect the heart of God, show the world who He is, and live in light of the eternity we share together. Step into a life that is bigger than yourself and rooted in Christ-centered community.

Truth is not shaped by culture, feelings, or what seems right in the moment. Our hearts can deceive us and the world will always offer an easier path, but Jesus points us to something better. He reveals the Father, speaks words that give life, and calls us to stand firm in what is true. God's truth does more than inform us. It saves us, sets us apart, unites us, and fills us with lasting joy. And it does not stop there. Truth sends us into the world with purpose. Not to blend in, but to live differently and point others to the only One who gives eternal life.

Power is not found in force but in surrender. When we rely on our own strength, we grasp for control, but Jesus shows a better way through prayer. In John 17, He lifts His eyes to the Father, choosing alignment over striving and trust over self-reliance. Kingdom people do not reach for the sword first. We reach for the Father. Prayer becomes our first instinct, shaping our hearts to His will, His work, and His presence. Step into a life where communion with God leads the way.

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.
Closing message in our series recentering on the Beatitudes. This week, we sit with the question: What is persecution in our actual context?The Kingdom of Heaven is not fragile.The kingdom of God will not be defeated.The kingdom is still open to all.“There's trouble ahead when you live only for the approval of others, saying what flatters them, doing what indulges them. Popularity contests are not truth contests—look how many scoundrel preachers were approved by your ancestors! Your task is to be true, not popular." Luke 6:26 (the Message)
Pastor Kent presents the next message in this series.
Luke 24"I have never had clarity; what I have always had is trust. So I will pray that you trust God.” Mother Teresa
When God speaks of separating from the world, he doesn't mean removing ourselves from it. The separation he desires takes place in the heart.Subscribe to daily devotions e-mails: https://wcmin.us/ddsub
“And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume...”Mary took the most precious thing she possessed and spent it all on Jesus. Love is not love if it nicely calculates the cost. It gives its all, and its only regret is that it has not still more to give.
In the final week of Kingdom Values, we look at what it truly means to build our lives on a solid foundation. Jesus challenges us to move beyond surface-level faith—calling us to examine our hearts, live with integrity, and follow Him with obedience. From confronting hypocrisy to trusting God through prayer, choosing the narrow path, and bearing good fruit, this message reminds us that it’s not just about hearing the truth—it’s about living it. When the storms come, what your life is built on matters most.

This week in our Kingdom Values series, we explore what it means to develop the mind of Christ instead of following the patterns of the world. In Matthew 5:20–48, Jesus teaches that true righteousness isn’t just about outward behavior, but a transformed heart that reflects God’s love, mercy, purity, and truth. From anger and forgiveness to integrity and loving our enemies, Jesus calls His followers to a deeper way of thinking and living. As we grow in the mind of Christ, we begin to reflect the character of God in every area of our lives.

It's the most demanding of all the Beatitudes, because there is no hiding.“Rules for Self-Discovery:1. What we want most;2. What we think about most;3. How we use our money;4. What we do with our leisure time;5. The company we enjoy;6. Who and what we admire;7. What we laugh at.A. W. Tozer
Matthew 5:7 "Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy."“You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view... Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it.” Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird
"No one is just one thing, even the worst of us. That doesn't excuse anyone's behavior, but it does complicate a narrative we might otherwise want to make very simple.” MikeCosper, Land of my Sojourn
