In this episode, Pastor Karl kicks off a new 10-week sermon series diving into the letters of 1st and 2nd Timothy. Speaking on Mother's Day, he highlights the powerful influence of faithful mothers and grandmothers, drawing from Timothy's own story, shaped by his mother, Eunice, and grandmother, Lois. Pastor Karl emphasizes the core theme of these letters: what a Jesus community believes—its doctrine—directly shapes how it lives. Exploring 1st Timothy Chapter 1, he unpacks Paul's charge to Timothy, a young leader in Ephesus, to remain steadfast in a challenging environment, teaching sound doctrine and resisting cultural confusion. Pastor Karl outlines six reasons to "remain" in faith: hard places need hard truth, God's people are needed, God uses unworthy people, we serve a great God, the battle for faith is too important to surrender, and some have already fallen away. With passion, he calls the church to stand under Scripture, guard doctrine, and trust in God's grace to live faithfully. Join us for an inspiring start to this series, urging believers to press in and stay committed.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 compelling episode, Pastor Karl dives into Romans 14, exploring what he calls "Applied Christianity." This chapter challenges both seasoned and new believers to navigate the balance between personal freedom in Christ and public restraint for the sake of others. Pastor Karl unpacks the concept of spiritual maturity, emphasizing private liberty and public restriction as biblical principles rooted in love. He addresses the tension between those strong in faith, who live in the freedom of grace, and those weak in faith, who adhere to stricter rules, using the historical context of meat sacrificed to idols to illustrate disputable matters. Through practical examples like alcohol, Halloween, and homeschooling, Pastor Karl highlights how non-essential issues should not divide the church. He introduces the "law of love," urging listeners to prioritize others' faith over personal freedoms, and explains the Bema Seat judgment, where Christians are rewarded for their sacrifices, not judged for salvation.

Today, on Karl and Crew, we started Holy Week by discussing how Christ cleansed the temple with Dr. Jim Coakley. Dr. Coakley is a professor at Moody Bible Institute in the Bible and Theology Department and an elder at the church, 180 Chicago. He has also authored several books, including "14 Fresh Ways to Enjoy the Bible.” We also turned to Mark 11 to see Jesus’s actions when clearing the temple and applied it to how we should clear ourselves of distractions and unclean things. As we walk with the Lord, we can’t allow just anything to enter our temples or fill our spirits because it can negatively affect our walk with Him. We also discussed how Resurrection Day can be considered a “Holy Reset.” Then, Pastor Karl answered some listener questions.

Explore why this day, marking Jesus' arrival in Jerusalem on the 10th of Nissan, holds profound historical and spiritual importance. Pastor Karl highlights three key insights from John 12: Jesus is more appealing than religion, offering grace over ritual; Scripture is more reliable than opinion, fulfilling ancient prophecies with precision; and following Jesus as an apprentice is more vital than debating His identity.

In this powerful message we unpack Romans 13's call to submit to governing authorities as part of God's design. He acknowledges the difficulty of this teaching, especially in unjust systems, but emphasizes that submission reflects trust in God's sovereignty. Balancing this, he highlights when civil disobedience is biblical—when obedience to authorities conflicts with clear Scripture, as seen in examples like Peter, Daniel, and the Hebrew midwives. Pastor Karl urges the church to wake up from spiritual slumber, cut off the supply lines to sin, and put on Christ daily. With salvation nearer than ever, he challenges listeners to live sober, alert lives, rooted in love—the only debt that grows the more we pay it. Looking ahead, Pastor Karl previews upcoming sermons on Palm Sunday and Easter, encouraging a 13-day devotional journey through the Gospels' accounts of Christ's crucifixion and resurrection.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 sermon, Pastor Karl explores Romans 12, where Paul shifts from 11 chapters of doctrine—God's mercy and grace through Christ—to a call for transformed living. He unpacks verses 1-2, urging believers to offer themselves as "living sacrifices," choosing holiness and renewing their minds to discern God's will, contrasting worldly conformity with the metamorphosis of a Christ-centered life. Pastor Karl emphasizes that knowing truth must lead to doing and becoming, using personal anecdotes to highlight how a renewed mind sparks a shifted life.Focusing on verses 3-21, Pastor Karl examines spiritual gifts like prophecy, service, and mercy, suggesting Romans 12 offers the core list for expounding God's Word or expanding His work, encouraging their use over mere possession. He outlines practical transformation—genuine love, abhorring evil, honoring others, and overcoming evil with good—stressing that our lives preach a sermon to those around us. This message challenges us to reject conformity and fully embrace a life that reflects God's grace.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 powerful message, Pastor Karl dives into Romans chapter 11, exploring God's cosmic plan to save anyone who desires salvation. He unpacks the heartbeat of Romans: God's unstoppable mission to redeem sinners by grace through faith and our response of worship and service. Focusing on the Greek word "sozo" (salvation), Pastor Karl traces God's saving work through Israel's past, present, and future, showing how His promises to Israel shape His promises to us as Gentiles. He emphasizes that God uses us to make His chosen people jealous, drawing them back to Him, while warning against pride and anti-Semitism in today's world. With passion and clarity, Pastor Karl calls us to humility, readiness to share our hope, and active participation in God's global plan through church planting and proclaiming the Word. Discover how you're part of this divine story—and why grace is greater than disobedience.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 engaging sermon, guest speaker David White steps in for Pastor Karl to unpack Romans 10, a chapter rich with the promise of salvation—or "soteria," as it's called in Greek. Diving into Romans 10, David explores Paul's heartfelt plea for his fellow Israelites to embrace salvation through faith, not works. With personal stories—like his dad's grace-filled response to bike-stealing teens—he illustrates the difference between mercy (not getting what we deserve) and grace (getting what we don't deserve). David's core message is clear: "Salvation cannot be achieved; it can only be received because grace is greater than you." Quoting Paul, he emphasizes that believing in your heart and confessing with your mouth that "Jesus is Lord" opens the door to God's gift—no effort required, just acceptance.  David challenges listeners to move beyond mere hope into prayer for their heart's desires and to share this good news with others, echoing Paul's call for beautiful feet that bring the gospel. With wit and warmth, he warns against complicating grace, urging us to simply receive it. This episode is a compelling blend of scripture, storytelling, and a call to live out faith in everyday life—perfect for anyone seeking clarity on salvation's simplicity.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 episode of Kidmin Talk, we're diving into the Kidmin Mandate—our Scriptural call to press on, not for recognition or approval, but because we serve the Lord.

In this episode, Pastor Karl dives into Romans 9, kicking off a deep exploration of God's plan, specifically as it relates to the nation of Israel. Providing a roadmap for Romans: chapters 1-3 address God's wrath, 3-8 celebrate His grace, 9-11 reveal His plan, and 12-16 guide us in living out His will. Romans 9 focuses on Israel's past, drawing heavily from Old Testament history—Abraham, Isaac, Ishmael, Esau, Jacob, Moses, and the prophets—to show that God's choice of His people is rooted in grace, not merit. He explains how Paul, heartbroken for his fellow Jews, underscores that being chosen by God doesn't depend on ethnicity or works, but on faith in His promise. From the adoption of the Jews to the coming of Christ—fully God and fully human—Pastor Karl illustrates how God's grace extends to both Jews and Gentiles alike.  With vivid examples, like Pharaoh's hardened heart and Hosea's unfaithful wife Gomer, he challenges listeners to choose a soft, responsive heart toward God's mercy. This episode is a rich blend of biblical insight, personal storytelling, and a call to embrace the transformative simplicity of faith.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
