In this profound and hope-filled Advent message, Pastor Karl continues the Christmas series with an honest, Scripture-saturated exploration of the third great gift Jesus brings: joy. Turning to the familiar yet astonishing encounter in Luke 1:26–38, Pastor Karl places us in the world of a young, powerless Mary—living in obscurity, poverty, and spiritual dryness under Roman oppression—when an angel suddenly declares her “highly favored” and announces she will bear the Son of God as a virgin.With pastoral clarity and compassion, Pastor Karl redefines biblical joy not as a forced smile, fleeting happiness, or denial of pain, but as a deep, settled confidence and calm cheerfulness in God—even when circumstances feel devastating. Mary's potentially ruinous situation (public shame, rejection, and lifelong stigma) becomes the backdrop for a joy that is rooted not in perfect conditions but in surrender to a perfect Savior. Joy, he shows, is not situational; it flows from trusting God's greater reality, His unchanging character, and His presence when clarity is absent.Drawing from Mary's radical response—“Let it be to me according to your word”—Pastor Karl tenderly calls every listener to the same doorway of lasting joy: radical surrender. Whether facing disappointment, health struggles, dashed dreams, or seasons of grief, joy grows when we release control, timelines, and the need to understand, and instead say “Yes, Lord” to whatever He has spoken. This is essential listening for anyone longing to move beyond seasonal happiness into the quiet, resilient cheerfulness that only Christ, born in a manger and risen from an empty tomb, can give.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
In this message, Michelle unpacks what it means to live a life that actually shows evidence of the Holy Spirit's work in us. Using the picture of a lemon tree that never produces fruit, she challenges us to let the Spirit grow real love, joy, and peace in our lives—not the fake, feel-good kind, but the kind that lasts through every season.For up-to-date info, follow our socials: https://www.instagram.com/freedomchurchbenoni/https://www.facebook.com/FreedomChurchBenoniMore episodes on all podcast platforms and our YouTube channel:Follow the link below, or search "freedom church Benoni" on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, Amazon Music, or YouTube Music! https://www.youtube.com/@freedomchurchbenoni/podcasts #freedomchurchbenoni #sundayfunday
A new MP3 sermon from The Bible Provocateur is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: LIVE DISCUSSION: Love, Joy, Peace, Kindness (Part 4 of 4) Speaker: Jonathan Eubanks Broadcaster: The Bible Provocateur Event: Debate Date: 9/25/2025 Bible: Galatians 5:22 Length: 16 min.
Send us a textWhat makes the fruit of the Spirit fundamentally different from the works of the flesh? This rich exploration of Galatians 5 uncovers the profound distinction between what humans produce through effort versus what God cultivates through grace.The conversation opens by examining Paul's deliberate contrast between works and fruit. While works represent deeds that make us culpable under law, fruit grows organically as evidence of divine life within believers. This distinction reveals why Paul emphasizes that against the fruit of the Spirit "there is no law" – these qualities fulfill what the law aimed for but could never produce.Exploring the first three fruits – love, joy, and peace – reveals transformative insights about our spiritual journey. Joy stands distinctly different from happiness; while happiness depends on circumstances and remains temporary, joy persists through trials as a permanent state of being. As one participant powerfully states, "Only Christians throughout history have found it joyful to suffer for Christ's sake."Peace emerges not merely as the absence of conflict but as reconciliation with God after being at war with Him. It's the calm assurance that remains steady amid life's storms because, as Christ promised, His peace "is not like the world gives."The discussion also unveils fascinating parallels between the nine fruits of the Spirit and the nine spiritual gifts mentioned in 1 Corinthians 12. While gifts empower service, fruit evidences transformation – they're what believers should actively seek to nurture.Whether you're struggling to understand the difference between law and grace or seeking deeper spiritual growth, this exploration of how God cultivates His character within us offers profound encouragement for your journey.The Balance of GrayFaith That Challenges.

Send us a textWhat does it mean to experience the peace that "surpasses all understanding"? How do we maintain spiritual resilience when life throws its worst at us? This profound conversation explores the transformative power of the fruits of the Spirit—particularly peace, joy, and long-suffering—in the believer's daily walk.The discussion begins with a powerful examination of divine peace—not merely the absence of conflict, but a supernatural tranquility that guards our hearts even when circumstances would logically lead to anxiety. As one participant beautifully puts it, this peace becomes most evident when you "can't understand why you're peaceful" because your flesh "would love to freak out," yet God is guarding your heart. This peace isn't just theological concept but a lived reality that Christians can experience amid their greatest struggles.The conversation draws an important distinction between the first three fruits (love, joy, peace) which establish our divine connection with God, and the next three (long-suffering, gentleness, goodness) which govern how we relate to others. Long-suffering emerges as particularly vital—a patient endurance without expiration that reflects God's own character toward humanity.Perhaps most challenging is the sobering perspective on Christian suffering. Through references to Fox's Book of Martyrs and historical persecution, the speakers contrast the unimaginable tortures early Christians endured with what many contemporary believers consider "suffering"—minor inconveniences or disagreements. This historical lens invites listeners to reevaluate their understanding of tribulation and the biblical command to "count it all joy" when facing trials.Whether you're navigating personal hardship, seeking to deepen your spiritual walk, or simply wanting to understand the practical application of the fruits of the Spirit, this episode offers profound insights that will challenge and encourage your faith journey. Join us as we explore how to live with supernatural peace and endurance in an increasingly chaotic world.The Balance of GrayFaith That Challenges. Conversations that Matter. Laughs included.

Send us a textWhat does biblical gentleness actually look like? Far more than speaking softly or avoiding difficult subjects, true spiritual gentleness combines strength with kindness in powerful, sometimes surprising ways.Our conversation explores the dual nature of gentleness - it's both the restraint that prevents us from crushing others and the active pursuit of their ultimate good. This creates a fascinating tension many Christians struggle to navigate: how do we deliver potentially offensive truths while maintaining a spirit of gentleness?As we dig deeper, we discover that gentleness isn't about personality type or communication style. God intentionally uses our natural dispositions - whether we're naturally boisterous or soft-spoken - to reach different people in different contexts. One participant shares how liberating it felt to realize "God already knows our flaws and uses us exactly where we are and for who we are."The most challenging revelation? No matter how gently you present the gospel, it remains fundamentally offensive to those who reject it. When people attack your delivery, it's often because they cannot refute the message itself. This shouldn't discourage us but rather strengthen our resolve to continue speaking truth with both boldness and kindness.We also explore how practical expressions of gentleness extend beyond speech into tangible acts of compassion - visiting the sick, giving to those in need, and caring for the vulnerable. These actions demonstrate the benevolent aspect of gentleness that seeks another's welfare.Join us for this enlightening discussion that will transform your understanding of what it means to bear the spiritual fruit of gentleness in a world that desperately needs both truth and tenderness.The Balance of GrayFaith That Challenges.

Send us a textWhat happens when Christians prioritize their own comfort over acts of service? This soul-searching conversation explores the profound disconnect between professing faith and demonstrating it through tangible actions.The dialogue begins with a reflection on Jesus's response when called "good" – a title reserved only for God in biblical times. This sets the stage for examining how true goodness flows from God's character working through believers, not merely in words but in deliberate acts of kindness and service.The participants challenge listeners with uncomfortable questions about personal priorities. Would you miss the Super Bowl to drive someone to the hospital? Do you know someone right now who needs something you could easily provide? Through vivid examples and honest confessions, they illustrate how contemporary Christians often rationalize away opportunities to demonstrate Christ's love through practical service.One particularly striking insight compares harsh approaches to sharing faith with Peter cutting off the high priest's servant's ear – when we attack others with our message, we remove their ability to hear what we're saying. True evangelism requires "putting the gospel into shoe leather" through unexpected acts of kindness that soften hearts and create openings for deeper spiritual conversations.The conversation concludes with reflections on self-awareness and spiritual growth. Knowing ourselves and understanding how others perceive us enables us to communicate truth effectively. The fruits of the Spirit – once dismissed by one participant as "boring" topics – emerge as the essential qualities that make the gospel attractive and accessible to a watching world.Ready to move beyond spiritual talk to spiritual walk? Listen now, and discover how small acts of goodness can transform both your faith and your witness to others.Support the show

Pastor Caleb Rivera delivers a message entitled "Love, Joy, Peace"
Last week we described living by the Spirit as coming together in unity with other people rather than coming apart. Now, beginning in verse 22, we start to have that broken down more specifically. In this sermon we will focus on the first three fruit. Notice the opposing fruit (acts) of the flesh in the previous paragraph that divide and conquer people.

Today we hear from Ordained Elder and Pastor Karen Henry. She takes a look at Love, Joy, and Peace as fruits of the Spirit, with the caveat the Love is THE fruit, and the rest come out of Love.
The first three fruits of the Spirit are “Godward” in nature and are enumerated as love, joy and peace. I apologize for the sound quality this time. There was a mistake but hope it's good enough.
