Weekly sermon at Trinity Church Denver 

Ryan sits down with Jeff and Arlen to discuss Jonah 4 and the powerful conclusion of Jonah: Deep & Wide Mercy.Together they explore why the book ends with a question instead of an answer, how Jonah's anger reveals the condition of his heart, and why God's final words are meant to challenge readers as much as they challenged Jonah.The conversation looks at God's compassion for Nineveh, the repeated question “Is it right for you to be angry?”, and the ways prayer, worship, and Scripture help align our hearts with God's.Jonah's story ends without revealing his response, inviting each of us to answer God's question for ourselves.Main Passage: Jonah 4Series: Jonah: Deep & Wide MercyWeek: 4Host: RyanGuests: Jeff and Arlen

In this message from Matthew 15:29–16:4, Pastor Karl examines two very different groups of people who come to Jesus — and what their approach reveals about how we receive grace.The first group comes from the Decapolis, a Gentile region with no religious standing or covenant claim. They bring broken bodies, unspoken needs, and nothing to offer — and Jesus meets them with compassion, healing, and even provision they didn't know to ask for. The second group, the Pharisees and Sadducees, arrives with suspicion and a demand for proof — and Jesus refuses to perform for them.The contrast surfaces a powerful truth: Jesus has endless compassion for those who come to him needy, but no obligation to satisfy those who come feeling entitled. Unworthiness isn't a disqualification for grace — it's the prerequisite for it.Pastor Karl unpacks why the disciples hesitated to feed the 4,000 (it wasn't that they forgot what Jesus could do — it was that they questioned who he'd do it for), what it really means to "fall from grace," and why the cross is the only reliable lens through which to interpret God's love. When we bring our "not enough" to Jesus, we find that inadequacy is exactly the raw material he's looking for.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

Paul opens this chapter with a dramatic expression of grief, like Moses before him, saying he would forfeit his own salvation if it meant his fellow Israelites would be saved. That alone should tell you how personal this gets. God chose Isaac over Ishmael, Jacob over Esau, and showed mercy to whom He would show mercy. The potter has authority over the clay, and that offends us because we want God to explain Himself. Yet, God demonstrates time and again that he is not only sovereign, but compassionate and merciful toward all people—Jew and Gentile.  The Rev. Doug Griebenaw, pastor and mission advocate at KFUO Radio, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Romans 9:1–33.  Why does doing the right thing sometimes feel impossible? Why do feelings of guilt follow us even when we've been forgiven? These aren't new questions. St. Paul wrote his letter to the Romans for a church he had never visited, and yet he addressed the struggles every Christian knows firsthand: the weight of the law, the persistence of sin, the sufficiency of what God has done in Christ. Romans covers enormous ground. Paul moves from the universal problem of sin through justification by faith, the role of baptism, the war between flesh and spirit, God's faithfulness to Israel, and the shape of life together in the body of Christ. There's a reason the Reformation was born in this letter. Join us on Thy Strong Word as we open up Romans, weekdays at 11am or on-demand anytime, at KFUO.org.  Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations. Submit comments or questions to: thystrongword@kfuo.org.

In this episode, Dr. Jim Van Gelderen challenges young people to pray for revival, not merely as something God did in the past, but as something He still desires to do today. Reflecting on the history of revival in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, and the heart cry of Psalm 85:6, he reminds listeners that revival begins personally before it spreads corporately. True revival is not earned by human effort, but received through thirst, trust, humility, and dependence on the God who delights to revive His people. Topics Discussed The history of God's reviving work in places now spiritually forgotten The prayer of Psalm 85:6: “Wilt thou not revive us again?” Why young people should pray for revival in their school, youth group, church, and community The Welsh revival story and the reminder that “the revival is in here” The meaning of personal revival as Christ's abundant life in the believer Two essentials for personal revival: thirsting for God and trusting Him to work How revival produces rejoicing, truth, righteousness, and holiness from the inside out Why revival is not something we deserve, but a mercy God gives The importance of dealing honestly and biblically with sin A testimony of God moving in a Christian school camp and stirring a lifelong burden for revival The difference between simply “getting by” and living in the presence and power of God Key Takeaways Revival is not just a historical event to admire; it is a present need to pray for. Corporate revival begins with individual believers who are personally revived. A young person does not have to settle for dull, distracted, subnormal Christianity. Personal revival begins with a thirsty heart that wants God and a trusting heart that believes Him. Revival produces more than emotion; it produces truth, righteousness, holiness, and a passion for Christ. God's reviving work is an act of mercy, not something we earn or deserve. The presence of God changes everything. When God “steps in the room,” hearts are humbled, sins are confessed, burdens are born, and lives are changed. The right prayer is still, “Wilt thou not revive us again?” If you've been encouraged by this podcast, please take the time to give us a five-star rating and write a brief review.

Message preached by Commander El

The sermon centers on the transformative power of God's mercy as the foundation for inner peace, spiritual restoration, and enduring hope, arguing that true healing begins not in external solutions but in a deep, personal knowledge of God's character. Drawing from Ephesians 2:4–5 and the parable of the Good Samaritan, it emphasizes that mercy is not merely withholding punishment but actively rescuing individuals from their broken, miserable conditions—whether spiritual, emotional, or physical—by restoring their identity in Christ. The message prioritizes the soul's condition above all, asserting that eternal separation from God is the ultimate misery, followed by a believer's estrangement from fellowship with Him, while physical suffering, though real, is secondary and often used by God for spiritual refinement. The preacher calls listeners to reject self-deception, confront the lies of the enemy that distort identity, and embrace God's grace through repentance, faith, and surrender, affirming that every believer, no matter their past or present pain, is created for victory and can experience joy, protection, and purpose through intimate fellowship with God.

Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger on the ground. 7 And as they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.” 8 And once more he bent down and wrote on the ground. 9 But when they heard it, they went away one by one, beginning with the older ones, and Jesus was left alone with the woman standing before him. 10 Jesus stood up and said to her, “Woman, where are they?

A sermon from Genesis 4:1-16.

The Fallenness of Israel & the Mercy of GodDeuteronomy 904-08-26Pastor: Greg Hill

In this tender and deeply pastoral message from Fire in Our Bones, Micah Hale calls believers back to the heart of the Beatitudes with Jesus' words, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.” He reminds us that true blessing is not found in prestige, control, or outward success, but in the deep, unshakable peace that comes from living near the Father. This peace is not fragile, borrowed, or dependent on circumstances. As Micah says, “No one can take my peace because they didn't give it to me,” and that peace becomes the mark of those who truly belong to God. With honesty, compassion, and spiritual clarity, Micah shows that peacemaking is not passive. It is forged in conflict, refined through mercy, and lived out in real relationships marked by offense, betrayal, misunderstanding, and reconciliation. He urges listeners not to react in the flesh, but to let the Holy Spirit heal what is broken so they can become people who carry peace into chaos. At the center of the message is a call to reflect the Father's heart, to become, in his words, “an expert in the mercy of God,” and to live as sons and daughters who leave a trail of peace, healing, and restoration wherever they go.

In saving us from sin Jesus does more than relieve us of an unpayable debt.  He actually pays the debt himself.   He buys us back, redeems us, with the price of his precious blood.  The wounds of Christ are thus mysterious sources of confidence and consolation for us, worthy of our continual contemplation. 

Episode Notes The last message in the life of David. Do you think God's punishment of people in the Bible seems harsh? Do you ever wonder why a God of love can be so angry? Do you ever question why sacrifices were necessary? Welcome to the last chapter of 2 Samuel.

Week two of “This Is My Story” turns the spotlight from grace to mercy—not just what God does, but who He is. From Psalm 103, we're reminded that God withholds what we deserve, removes our sin “as far as the east is from the west,” and calls us to respond while His mercy is still drawing us in.

After all the battles, betrayals, restorations, and songs of deliverance, the book closes not with a triumph, but with a moment of failure… and yet a surprising revelation of God's mercy. 2 Samuel 24 tells the story of David's census — a wrong-headed decision driven by pride, insecurity, and misplaced confidence. It's a moment where David, the seasoned king, forgets the lesson he learned as a young shepherd boy: Victory never comes from numbers, but from God Himself…. So, let's walk through a chapter that confronts us with the cost of pride, but also invites us to witness the mercy of a God who never leaves His people without hope. Welcome to the episode…Support the showFollow and Support All my Creative endeavours on Patreon.

In this powerful teaching from Psalm 51, Pastor Ralph Royea walks through David's repentance, brokenness, and pursuit of the heart of the Father. This message reveals the difference between seeking God's hand and seeking His heart, and how lovingkindness and tender mercies restore what sin tried to destroy. You'll discover: Why David was called a man after God's own heart The meaning of transgression, iniquity, and sin What it means to be purged, cleansed, and renewed How God makes crooked things straight Why a clean heart is required for what God is pouring out next

Pastor Ray MedinaSeries: New Mercies: Hope, Joy, And Renewal For The New YearMatthew 6:25-34

A spiritual and saving knowledge of God is the greatest need of every human creature. The foundation of all true knowledge of God must be a clear understanding of His attributes as revealed in Holy Scripture. An unknown God cannot be truly trusted, served, nor worshipped. In this book, an effort has been made to describe some of the principal perfections of His divine character. And if we are to truly profit from our perusal of the pages herein, we need to earnestly ask God to bless them to us, to apply His Truth to our conscience and heart, so that, by it, our lives will be transformed. We need something more than a theoretical knowledge of God. God is only truly known in the soul inasmuch as we yield ourselves to Him, submit to His authority, and regulate all the details of our lives by His holy precepts and commandments. Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord (Hosea 6:3). If any man will do His will, he shall know (John 7:17). The people that do know their God shall be strong (Daniel 11:32). About the Author Arthur Walkington Pink (1886-1952) was an influential British Christian evangelist and biblical scholar known for his profound writings and teachings on Reformed theology. Born in Nottingham, England, Pink converted to Christianity in his early twenties, and lived a life devoted to the Lord. His passion for Scripture led him to pastorates in the United States and Australia, though he is best remembered for his prolific writing. Pink's works, including The Sovereignty of God and numerous articles in his monthly magazine, Studies in the Scriptures, have had a lasting impact in the body of Christ.

Today’s Bible Verse:"Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you; therefore he will rise up to show you compassion. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him!" — Isaiah 30:18 Isaiah 30:18 reminds us that God is not only just but deeply compassionate. Even when we face delays, difficulties, or unanswered prayers, His desire is to show grace. Waiting on Him is not passive—it’s a posture of faith that positions us to receive His blessings fully. “Want to listen without ads?
