Friday – Matthew 8:5-10, 135 When Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking for help. 6 “Lord,” he said, “my servant lies at home paralyzed, suffering terribly.”    7 Jesus said to him, “Shall I come and heal him?”8 The centurion replied, “Lord, I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed. 9 For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, ‘Go,' and he goes; and that one, ‘Come,' and he comes. I say to my servant, ‘Do this,' and he does it.”10 When Jesus heard this, he was amazed and said to those following him, “Truly I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith. 13 Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go! Let it be done just as you believed it would.” And his servant was healed at that moment.

Today’s Bible Verse: “For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and that one, ‘Come,’ and he comes. I say to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.” — Matthew 8:9 Matthew 8:9 highlights a powerful moment of faith from an unexpected source. A Roman centurion recognized something many others missed — Jesus’ authority didn’t depend on physical presence. He understood that if Jesus gave the word, it was as good as done. “Want to listen without ads?

Guest speaker David White continues the "Kingdom Now" series in Matthew 8, showing that wherever God's kingdom arrives, chaos is confronted—but comfort is challenged.He examines two powerful encounters: Jesus calming a violent storm on the Sea of Galilee, where panicked disciples question His care despite His presence, and Jesus casting demons from two violent men into a herd of pigs in Gentile territory. The restored men return to community, but the townspeople—upset by the economic loss—beg Jesus to leave, preferring familiar chaos to costly change.David stresses Jesus' absolute authority over external storms and internal oppression, yet following Him requires denying self and embracing discomfort rather than seeking ease. He contrasts “Couch Jesus” (comfort-focused) with “Coach Jesus” (growth-focused), urging the dangerous prayer: “Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven”—inviting God to confront chaos in marriages, families, finances, and mental health, while trusting Him through the inevitable challenges.Core truth: The kingdom is now—actively confronting chaos and challenging comfort—because Jesus loves us too much to leave us unchanged.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 message, Pastor Karl transitions from the Sermon on the Mount into Matthew 8, emphasizing Jesus' supreme authority over the natural and supernatural realms. He highlights the ongoing reality of spiritual warfare against unseen forces of darkness (Ephesians 6:12), seen in Scripture and in current testimonies from Cuba where Christ's power delivers people from demonic oppression.Through three healings—a leper cleansed by Jesus' compassionate touch, a centurion's servant healed by a word of command, and Peter's mother-in-law restored to serve—Pastor Karl shows grace flowing freely from Jesus' sovereign choice, overcoming contamination, demanding faith, and calling for obedient response.The core truth: grace is free yet never cheap, and following Jesus is costly. Salvation is by grace through faith alone, but discipleship requires prioritizing the kingdom now, not later or with leftovers. Jesus challenges hearers: “You in?”—urging full surrender under His authority for cleansing, healing, and kingdom service..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

When Jesus crosses into Gentile territory in Matthew 8, He's not just healing a man—He's confronting an occupying force. The demons call themselves “Legion,” a Roman military term that mirrors the Gentile domination of Israel during the Times of the Gentiles foretold by Daniel.   This encounter is a prophetic preview. The demons recognize Jesus' authority, fear judgment before the appointed time, and beg not to be sent to the Abyss. Their request to enter the pigs exposes their torment and destructive nature, while Jesus' authority over them foreshadows the final overthrow of Gentile power at His return.   The townspeople beg Jesus to leave, choosing familiarity over freedom. One man, fully delivered, wants to follow Him—showing the divide between those who benefit from darkness and those rescued from it.   This sermon reveals how Matthew 8 points beyond an exorcism to the Second Coming, when the King will return to crush the final empire and establish His everlasting kingdom.   Watch and see how this powerful moment previews the end of the Times of the Gentiles and the return of Jesus Christ.   #BibleProphecy #EndTimes #SecondComing #JesusIsKing #SpiritualWarfare #TimesOfTheGentiles #BookOfDaniel #Matthew8 #Deliverance #KingdomOfGod #IsraelInProphecy #ReturnOfChrist

What you need in your life is not less authority, but good authority.We live in an age that's deeply suspicious of authority. Yet every human being lives under authority of some kind; whether it's our own desires, cultural pressures, or destructive forces beyond our control. In this sermon, we explore the truth that what we need is not less authority in our lives, but good authority — and Jesus is the King whose authority brings peace, not oppression.

With Jesus, no one is unclean, unworthy, or unseen.The insecurities we carry about ourselves often hinder us from coming to Jesus. We feel unclean because of our shame, unworthy because of our sin, or unseen because of our story. As a result, we hide in obscurity or shrink back in fear. But as Matthew tells us of Jesus cleansing a leper, healing a centurion's servant, and healing Peter's mother-in-law, he reveals that with Jesus, no one is unclean, unworthy, or unseen.

In Genesis 11 we are told, that as humans again multiplied on the face of the earth, they conceived a united plan of open rebellion against their Creator. They sought to build a tower, or Ziggurat, whose height would prevent the human race from being overwhelmed by a flood from God. The plan was stopped by creating confusion through the creation of new languages. This created suspicion and people scattering from the place of rebellion. From verses 10-26 is the record, or genealogy, of Shem's descendants till Terah, the father of Abram (whose name was changed in chapter 15 to Abraham). Verses 27-32 tells us the genealogical details surrounding Terah and Abram. It would appear that in the initial call of Abram to leave Ur of the Chaldeas the initiative was left with the patriarchal family head - Terah - to initially lead the family towards the Promised Land. Chapter 12 tells us, "Now the LORD had said ...". Later information tells us that at this time Abram was about 70 when called to forsake wealth, luxury and social prestige in Ur for an undefined Land (later we find it to be Israel - see Paul's comments in Hebrews 11verses8-9). Again, the Hebrew words for verse 1 are "Go for yourself". Both, Abram's father Terah, and his uncle Nahor, appear to want to settle in Haran - and to not continue their journey to the Land of the Promise. The words of the first 3 verses are a sevenfold promise that from Abram would descend the great nation of Israel. The personal element was to make the name of "Abraham" great in the earth. There was an international promise in verse 3 that blessings would come to all nations through "Abraham's" descendant - the LordJesus Christ (see what that meant in Romans 4verses13). At the age of 75 Abram left Haran without Terah, or his brother Haran. In verse 7 we see that the land of Canaan (Israel) was first promised to Christ (Abram's descendant) before it was promised to Abraham himself. There were great dangers in the Canaanite land. Famine forced Abram and his large group to seek sustenance in Egypt. Here Abram showed a lack of trust in God and told lies about his beautiful wife Sarah, believing that would save his life. God did deliver Abram despite this failure; and taught him that the Almighty can be depended on regardless of theseemingly immense difficulties.

This week we are coming back to the book of Matthew. We started the book in the fall of 2024 and finished the Sermon on the Mount in February 2025. Matthew is introducing a new generation of people to who Jesus is. Having introduced Jesus' genealogy, the miraculous birth, the magi's visit and the start of Jesus's ministry in chapters 1-4, Matthew told us about Jesus' "Sermon on the Mount." We are now at chapter 8 where Jesus performs two acts of healing.

 We say it every Mass: “Lord, I am not worthy… but only say the word and my soul shall be healed.” What are we asking—and what should we expect? Joe Rockey and Father Boniface Hicks unpack the centurion's faith behind that line, how the Eucharist gives not just a word but the Word made flesh, and why Communion is an invitation already given—not a feeling we must wait for. We close with a simple New Year resolution: prepare better, receive more, and let grace heal what we cannot. Through the three lenses: honesty with self, charity toward others, under a living relationship with God.Key IdeasFrom Scripture to altar: the centurion's “say the word” (authority, trust) becomes our Communion prayer—humble, confident, obedient.More than a word: at Mass we receive the Giver Himself—Jesus, truly present in the Eucharist—superabundant love for unworthy hearts.Invitation stands: unless you should refrain, don't wait for a private signal; the liturgy itself is Christ's call to come.Feelings vary; grace doesn't: ritual prayers serve a billion souls—some days they fit our mood, others they lead it.A practical resolution: arrive a bit early, call to mind sins and needs, and ask to receive Him more fully this year.Links & ReferencesScripture named (no links):The centurion's faith (Matthew 8:5–13; cf.
