In this powerful message from Pastor Karl, we journey beyond the manger to discover the timeless roots of Christmas in the Garden of Eden. Christmas is far more than a seasonal vibe—it's the profound story of God's unchanging love, revealed through proximity, provision, and loving parameters.Drawing parallels between Eden and Bethlehem, Pastor Karl shows how God has always pursued us: walking closely with humanity, generously providing what we cannot obtain ourselves, and setting protective boundaries for our good. Yet, from the beginning, humanity has often rejected this love, doubting God's goodness and choosing our own way.The heart of the gospel shines through as Pastor Karl reminds us that even in our rejection, God's love pursues and covers us—first promised in Genesis with the crushing of the serpent's head through the seed of the woman, and perfectly fulfilled in the incarnation of Jesus, Emmanuel, "God with us."This message challenges us: Will we embrace not just the warmth of Christmas, but the weighty claims of Christmas—God's call to love Him fully with our whole heart, soul, mind, and strength through belonging to His family, becoming like Christ, giving generously, and going on mission?A stirring reminder that God's everlasting love didn't begin in Bethlehem—it was set in motion from the very beginning, for you and me.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

At the Cross of Christ, all of God's wrath toward sin was poured out upon Jesus. There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ.

Why does Christ's coming matter? Christmas provides the resource of love. Pastor Joel shows what God's love is in the Invitation, Incarnation, Propitiation, and Transformation.

In this stirring and deeply encouraging Advent message, Pastor Karl continues the series The King Has Come with a raw and life-giving exploration of the second great gift Jesus brings: peace.Turning to the familiar yet profound scene in Luke 2:8–20, Pastor Karl invites us into the midnight terror of ordinary shepherds—suddenly confronted by the blinding glory of God—and shows how the very first words from heaven that night were not “Merry Christmas,” but “Fear not.” That first Christmas did not begin with sentimental calm; it began with paralyzing, mega-fear. And right there, in the middle of stacked-on-stacked fear, the angel announced good news of great joy: a Savior has been born who is Christ the Lord, the Prince of Peace.With pastoral tenderness and unflinching honesty, Pastor Karl unmasks fear as the mortal enemy of peace—how it magnifies threats, shrinks our view of God, and paints our future in colors darker than God ever intended. Yet the gospel is stronger: peace is not the absence of trouble but the presence of a Person. Peace is not something Jesus gives; peace is who Jesus is—and He gives Himself.Through the shepherds' journey from terror to testimony, we're given clear, scriptural paths out of fear and into the unshakable peace of Christ: speaking God's truth over fear's lies, refusing to agree with the spirit of fear, drawing near to Jesus through spiritual disciplines, and taking bold steps of obedience that move us against comfort and toward surrender.This is a word for everyone whose heart has been ruled by anxiety, worst-case scenarios, or the quiet fears that steal joy—especially in this season. A tender yet urgent call to stop trusting the unknown future to our own control and start trusting it to the known God who entered our fear as a baby in a manger.Because the King has come, fear does not get the final word. Peace does. And when the Prince of Peace takes over a life, what spills out is no longer fear—but praise, testimony, and unshakable confidence in the goodness of God.Essential listening for anyone who longs to trade fear for the peace that passes all understanding this Christmas.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

God With Us (Advent 2025 – Part 2)Hebrews 2:14–17 shows that Christmas matters because God became truly human in Jesus—not in sin, but in our flesh—to accomplish what no one else could. By taking on our nature, Christ destroyed the devil's power, silenced his accusations, and freed us from the fear and slavery of death. As the perfect High Priest, He represents us before God, bears our sin in propitiation, and gives us His righteousness. Jesus became like us so He could save us, stand for us, and bring us into the life and hope only He can give.Sermon Preached by Bryan Martinez on December 7, 2025Foothill Church exists to glorify God by living as disciples of Jesus who make disciples of Jesus.https://foothill.church Learn about our For the Sake of His Name 2-Year Discipleship Journey:https://foothill.church/FTSOHN

In this sobering and soul-searching message, Pastor Karl dives deep into Matthew 5:17–48, where Jesus declares that He came not to abolish the Law but to fulfill it—and then raises the bar of righteousness far beyond anything the scribes and Pharisees ever imagined.Through six piercing examples—anger that murders the heart, lust that commits adultery in the mind, casual divorce, manipulative oaths, retaliation, and hatred disguised as justice—Jesus exposes the truth we all try to avoid: outward obedience is never enough. God judges the heart. Every single one of us stands guilty before His perfect standard.Yet the bad news is meant to drive us to the best news. Pastor Karl powerfully unpacks how Jesus' command in verse 48—“You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect”—is not a cruel impossible demand, but the very reason the Son of God came. We cannot achieve the righteousness God requires, so God freely gives it to us through faith in Christ. Jesus took our unrighteousness and imputes His perfect righteousness to all who repent and trust Him.A hard-hitting, heart-exposing sermon that leaves no room for self-righteousness, but ends with the liberating joy of the gospel: guilty sinners can be clothed in the very righteousness of God and stand before Him as if we had never sinned.

What then? Are we Jews any better off? No, not at all. For we have already charged that all, both Jews and Greeks, are under sin, 10 as it is written:“None is righteous, no, not one; 11     no one understands;     no one seeks for God. 12 All have turned aside; together they have become worthless;     no one does good,     not even one.” 13 “Their throat is an open grave;     they use their tongues to deceive.” “The venom of asps is under their lips.” 14     “Their mouth is full of curses and bitterness.” 15 “Their feet are swift to shed blood; 16     in their paths are ruin and misery, 17 and the way of peace they have not known.” 18     “There is no fear of God before their eyes.” 19 Now we know that whatever the law says it speaks to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and the whole world may be held accountable to God. 20 For by works of the law no human being will be justified in his sight, since through the law comes knowledge of sin.21 But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it— 22 the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 25 whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God's righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins. 26 It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.27 Then what becomes of our boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? By a law of works? No, but by the law of faith. 28 For we hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law. 29 Or is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also, 30 since God is one—who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith. 31 Do we then overthrow the law by this faith? By no means! On the contrary, we uphold the law.1.     Can you share about a time when learning something about yourself was painful? Do you think you might (unknowingly) be resistant to learning more about yourself?2.     Do you agree with the idea of total depravity, that everything in us is touched by our self-centeredness, selfishness? That we are pinned down by sin?3.     If true, how should this idea of total depravity impact our interactions with and views of others?4.     God put [Jesus Christ] forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. If you are a Christian, do you walk around believing that there is no judgment or anger of God toward you because it was absorbed at the cross? God cannot have negative feelings toward you if you trust in Jesus. Does that change anything for you?5.     Redemption means God has bought you back through Jesus. Do you live that way, or do you live like you've

The sermon asserts that since "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God", human attempts at self-justification are futile. The solution—introduced by the hinge phrase "But now"—is justification (being declared righteous). This justification is received as a gift by grace through the redemption in Christ Jesus. Christ secured this redemption by being put forward as a propitiation by His blood. Propitiation is the sacrifice that satisfies divine wrath and justice. This allows God to be simultaneously just and the justifier of those who have faith in Jesus. Compressed Outline I. The Universal Problem (The Need for Salvation) • All people have sinned and fallen short, making self-justification impossible. • The Law and the Prophets testify to the righteousness God requires, but they cannot grant it; they only lead us to Christ. II. The Divine Solution (Justification) • The righteousness of God is manifested apart from the law, through faith in Jesus Christ. • We are justified (made righteous) as a gift by grace through redemption. III. The Price Paid (Propitiation and Expiation) • Redemption is the price Christ paid to set us free from condemnation. • Christ's sacrifice serves as propitiation, satisfying God's just wrath. • It also achieves expiation, cleansing us from sin, shame, and guilt. • The cross solves God's conflict—how to forgive sin while refusing to clear the guilty (Exodus 34:7). IV. Application (How to Live) Believers must respond by living by faith, living as free and forgiven people, living as thankful people, living as obedient people, and living as Gospel ambassadors.

Transforming Perspectives | Having our names written in the Lamb's Book of Life, is an obscured authentication of believer's Faith in Jesus Christ. Biblically, it is a wondrous act, conveyed when Jesus spoke to Nicodemus, of one's proof of having entered into the kingdom of God, born of the Spirit. The Lamb's book of life, distinct from the book of life, contains the records of every person having accepted Jesus Christ, as the righteousness of God, and the propitiation for their sins, the atoning sacrifice satisfying the penalty of death, and becoming born again. Formidably, the book of life, are accountings and recordation of all creation as well as all humanity on earth.  This Book is more than ledgers as men would believe, but actuaries in the realm of the counsel of God. Archives of his knowledge and observance of every person, as expressed by David, exalting Almighty God, “Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet, there was none of them.”  Psalms 139:16, English Standard Version.In the Book of Revelation, Apostle John, received in visions, Letters from the Lord written to the ‘Seven Churches,' exhorting of them his assessment of their Faith. Noteworthy, are the significances of the Lord's frankness, timing and urgency of the delivered messages. An erroneous assumption for believers of the prophetic narrative, is to overlook or underestimate the audience defining each Church to whom the Lord addresses and of their position of Faith, as Jesus says, “He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.  He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.  Revelation 3:5-6, King James Version.Pray, Read and Study | The Book of Revelation Chapters 2, 3, 5 and 21.__________________Thank you for joining and listening to our Podcast's Episodes!

Message by Bro. Carlo LetoText: Romans 3October 12, 2025 - 11AM

If you had just one day left with your loved ones, what would you say? In this week's message, we'll look at the heart of the gospel—what it isn't, what it is, and how you can know with certainty that you belong to Christ. The stakes couldn't be higher: heaven or hell. Join us as we discover why God's radical grace changes everything and how Jesus' perfect record can become your own.1) What the gospel isn't2) What the gospel is3) How to know if you're a ChristianText: Luke 15:11-32; Ephesians 2:8; Mark 1:14-15; Romans 3:22

In this episode, we dive into one of the most important sections of Paul's letter to the Romans—his teaching on justification by faith alone. R.C. Sproul reminds us that this is the very heart of the gospel: God declares sinners righteous not because of anything in them, but because of the righteousness of Christ imputed to them and received by faith.Declared Just, Not Made Just – Why our righteousness must come from outside ourselves and what Luther meant by simul iustus et peccator (“at the same time righteous and sinner”).The “But Now” Moment – Paul's announcement that God's righteousness has been revealed apart from the law, rooted in both the Law and the Prophets.Faith as the Instrument – How the Reformers rejected baptism and penance as the instrumental cause of justification, insisting instead that faith alone links us to Christ.The Double Transfer – Our sins placed on Christ and His righteousness placed on us. This is the great exchange at the center of the gospel.Propitiation & Expiation – Why we cannot afford to lose these biblical terms, and how Christ both satisfies God's wrath and removes our sin.The Just and the Justifier – How God remains perfectly just while also declaring sinners righteous in Christ.Justification is not cheap grace. It is free for us, but costly for Christ. At the cross, God satisfied His justice and extended His mercy—making Him both just and the justifier of those who believe.

All Temples give God's blueprint for us as His ultimate Temples. Man fell into sin & lost God's Presence, but He's restoring us to be His Temples – He'll dwell within us & shine out of us forever. All the different Temples encode different aspects of His ultimate Temple, each providing a piece of the puzzle. We get the whole picture by putting together the revelation from them all. (1) Our SPIRIT = HOLY of HOLIES, (2) our SOUL = HOLY PLACE, (3) our BODY = OUTER COURT. We're made with His THRONE in our SPIRIT to live under His authority. When we receive Christ & He's enthroned within us, we discover our true identity, ability & personality, for His Spirit of grace flows from His throne to fill & transform our souls & empower us to do His will & be fruitful. Christ is the perfect human Temple; God was enthroned in His spirit and His Spirit filled His soul & flowed out of Him. But we were born spiritually dead, so His Spirit did not indwell us. Christ came to make us into true Temples, like Him. So, He died as our SIN OFFERING to take away our sins, and as our BURNT OFFERING to give us His perfect righteousness. Mercy Seat = ‘Place of Propitiation' where God's righteous judgment is fully satisfied by the Blood. He sees the Blood & declares us forgiven, so He's now free to bless us. Once the blood was sprinkled on the mercy seat & accepted by God, Israel came under mercy for another year. But she had to repeat this ritual every year signifying man's sin wasn't yet put away (Heb 10:1-4). Christ accomplished this (Heb 10:5-10). So, Tabernacle rituals pictured what Christ would accomplish in establishing the New Covenant in His Blood in the Heavenly Temple, and activating it in His redeemed human Temples (Heb 9:7-12). As the High Priest, He offered Himself as the final Sacrifice and took His Blood into the heavenly Holy of Holies, and sprinkled it on God's Throne, the Mercy Seat, as full payment for our sin & every blessing of grace (Heb 4:16). His Blood in Heaven ever speaks on our behalf, and is the basis for the everlasting New Covenant (Heb 12:22-24). Having done this, He sat down to signify His finished work, and entered into His work as Mediator of the New Covenant for His people (Heb 1:3, 10:11-12, 9:23-26). The Heavenly Temple is an image of God's ultimate Temple (Man), so when we receive Christ, He also sprinkles us with His Blood & sanctifies us to Himself (1Pet 1:2, Heb 9:13-14). By His Spirit, He entered our holy of holies, and applied His Blood to our spirit, cleansing it from all sin & sanctifying it to Himself, making it a perfect new creation, and then sits enthroned there by His indwelling Spirit, to mediate the new covenant in our lives. This happened at our New Birth. He activated the New Covenant in us, so we're now under grace. We became a functioning Temple. Having sprinkled & cleansed us with His Blood (Heb 9:13-14), He now brings us into our inheritance (v15). It's a Throne of Grace, for the Lamb's Blood has been accepted by God on our behalf, and He sits at God's right hand dispensing His River of Grace to us (Rev 22:1-2). This also pictures us as Temples, with Christ enthroned as Lord in our spirit, releasing His river of grace from His throne in our spirit, flowing down into our heart & life. The trees = thoughts & emotions in our soul. As we trust in Christ who lives in us, and submit to His Lordship, we receive His river of blessing into our hearts. When God entered the Tabernacle, He sat in His glory, enthroned on the Mercy Seat above the Ark of the Covenant in the Holy of Holies, and there He met with Moses & spoke with him (Ex 25:21-22). Likewise, He sits on the throne in our spirit, His base of operation in us. 3 items in the HOLY PLACE (Heb 9:1-4) = our SOUL: *(1) MENORAH = our MIND, illuminated by the oil of His Spirit. *(2) TABLE of SHOWBREAD (‘the Bread of the Presence') = our EMOTIONS, kept ever fresh from God's Presence, shining from the Holy of Holies. *(3) The ALTAR of INCENSE next to the Holy of Holies = our HEART or WILL, at the deepest part of our soul, called the Golden Censer (‘the Place of Incense') in Heb 9:4, where it's described as belonging to the holy of holies. Thus, our HEART is the junction & connection between our SPIRIT & SOUL, receiving God's life from the spirit, so that it flows into our soul (Heb 4:12, John 7:38). By God's design, the heart should be under the spirit's control, so a worshipping heart is necessary to receive God's grace into our souls. As we submit our hearts into God's Hand (the Holy Spirit), He can guide & empower us (Prov 21:1). To reign in life, put our heart into His Hand (His Spirit), who manifests in us as rivers of living water. In the Holy of Holies was the Ark of the Covenant containing 3 items, hidden under the Throne (under His control) = 3 aspects of God's grace, He wants to release into our soul by His Spirit: (1) the Tablets of the Covenant, (2) Aaron's Almond Rod that budded, and (3) the Golden Pot of Manna (Heb 9:3-5)

"Sermon Outline: Genesis 32:1-21 — Unworthy of the Blessings Received by GraceProp: God often brings us to our end to soften our hearts to the gospel.Introduction:Jacob's story is a powerful conversion narrative revealing God's sovereign grace.Before doing good or bad, God's election stands: “the older will serve the younger.”Jacob seems unworthy through all his deception, raising the key question: When will Jacob truly worship God?Jacob's exile and return mirror Israel's exile and restoration in Christ, the true “Way, Truth, and Life.”Jacob's Predicament:Jacob flees Laban after deceit and conflict, then faces imminent threat from Esau, who still wants to kill him.Jacob is vulnerable, trapped between fear and no escape—his back is against the wall.Change of Disposition:In deep distress, Jacob begins spiritual transformation, humbling himself before both Esau and God.“Propitiation” means to turn away wrath — Jacob seeks to appease both his brother and God.Like gold refined by fire, Jacob's heart becomes malleable in God's hands.Jacob's Plan to Propitiate Esau (vv. 3-8, 13-21):First gift attempt confirms fear; Esau approaches with 400 men.Jacob divides his camp, prepares gifts to appease Esau.Though Esau should serve Jacob (older serving younger), Jacob humbles himself and submits.True exaltation in God's eyes comes through humility and service, not worldly status.Jacob's Plan to Propitiate God (vv. 1-2; 9-12):Jacob sees angels, prays humbly to God, acknowledges unworthiness of God's mercy.After a life of striving and deception, Jacob rests fully on God's grace and promises.His petition is for deliverance from Esau, trusting only God's power.Conclusion — God's Grace in the Gospel:Salvation is sovereignly given and requires humility, the opposite of natural human pride.God often brings us to our end so we might see our need for mercy.We are all “unworthy of even the least blessing” and cannot propitiate God ourselves.Christ's humble obedience and sacrificial death is our true propitiation and hope.Those who humble themselves and trust Christ are saved.Hashtags:#Genesis32 #GodsGrace #JacobStory #SovereignGrace #GospelHumility #ChristianHumility #Propitiation #ExaltedThroughHumility #FaithJourney #BibleSermon #ScriptureReflection #Messiah #ChristOurHope #SalvationByGrace #WrestlingWithGod #ExileAndReturn #TrustGod #SermonOutline #GospelTruth #ChristianTeaching"

In this passage, Paul's desire is for the Colossians to have a full understanding of their salvation—how God accomplished it and what it means for their lives. Doug emphasises that this is still vital for our faith today.

At the Cross of Christ, all of God's wrath toward sin was poured out upon Jesus. There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ.

Jesus famously said in John 14:6 that He is the Way, the Truth and the Life and that nobody comes to the Father except through Him. Today we will begin a great journey through the bible to understand these words on a deep level. Welcome to the Salvation series. * 00:00 - Introduction* 21:16 - What is the Gospel?* 26:38 - Point #1: Incarnation* 29:16 - Point #2: Propitiation* 56:23 - Why Can't We Earn Our Righteousness? * 1:22:57 - Point #3: Resurrection* 1:32:35 - The Gospel in Genesis* 1:48:23 - The 7 Great Realizations* 2:01:08 - How Do I Get Saved?* 2:17:54 - God is the Gospel This is a public episode.

KKToday is a current discussion with Kimber Kauffman today.  This message was recorded in December 2019.  BIBLIOGRAPHY:John R. W. Stott, The Message of Romans: God's Good News for the World (Downers Grove: InterVarsity Press, 1994)CLASSIC MESSAGES: Kimber references Propitiation in many messages over time.  Second Samual 14, Joshua 2 and Joshua 22 are instances that feature propitiation in the application points.

Romans 3:25 — Jesus saves sinners, but how are they redeemed in Christ and why did it have to happen in that way? In Romans 3:25, Paul says that God was a “propitiation” for our sins in order to declare His righteousness to the sinner. In the sermon titled “Propitiation,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones explains that this word means to appease and avert anger or wrath. The cross of Jesus Christ was needed to appease God's wrath. Propitiation implies four things: an offense to be taken away, an offended person who needs to be pacified, a guilty person, and a sacrifice of atonement for the offense. Also in this message, Dr. Lloyd-Jones warns about various translations of the Bible. Many who have translated this specific passage have misplaced the word “propitiation” with “expiation,” giving the verse a completely different context. This happens because personal prejudices can sway the translations. In either case, it is to be clear that without propitiation, the Lord cannot have a personal relationship with a person when there is sin present. This is the reason that Christ had to be the ultimate sacrifice to pay the atonement for sins.

This message explored the biblical foundation of peace in Christ, emphasizing how believers receive peace through propitiation, reconciliation, and their position in Christ. The group examined how this peace—though already secured—can be obscured by the enemy's attacks on identity, truth, and experience. Personal testimonies underscored how God's love pursues His people and how obedience not only anchors individuals but also impacts the broader community. The conversation concluded with a reminder of the peace Christ gives amid tribulation and the call to remain rooted in Him.

There are some ways to tell if you’re really walking right with Jesus—John lays it out for each of us. But even if you aren’t, we’ll see how to handle that as well. Listen in and get your spiritual checkup now. Notes: Focus verse - 1 John 2 Read 1 John 2:1–6 #1 How’s Your Walk?1 John 2:1–6 Sin is serious, but Jesus is our Advocate. It’s not if you sin—it’s when.The question is, “How will you respond?” Read 1 John 2:3–4 Are you walking toward Jesus? Are you alongside Him?Or are you name dropping as you walk the other way? Propitiation: the means by which sins are forgiven. Read 1 John 2:7–11 #2 How’s Your Heart?1 John 2:7–11 Sometimes it’s easier to love a God you can’t see than it is to love the person next to you. Anyone who claims to live in God’s light and hates a brother or sister is still in the dark.1 John 2:9 (MSG) Redemption means giving the love you never received, because God gave it to you first. The compassion Christ showed you is the same compassion you’re called to show them. If your heart is constantly cold toward others, if your instinct is to isolate, criticize, or cut people off, or if you cling to your grudge like an emotional support animal, maybe it's not them—it's you. Read 1 John 2:12–17 #3 What’s Got Your Heart?1 John 2:12–17 Your spiritual health is not a matter of perfection, but direction. Jesus isn’t saying that having wealth is the problem.He’s saying being owned by it is. There’s nothing wrong with having possessions, as long as your possessions do not possess you. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.1 John 2:17 (NKJV)--- Learn more about Greg Laurie and Harvest Ministries at harvest.org.
