In this message from Matthew 14, Pastor Karl explores two seemingly separate events — the beheading of John the Baptist and the feeding of the five thousand — and reveals how they are deeply connected as a portrait of two contrasting kingdoms.Drawing on the parallel between Herod's banquet and Jesus's meal in the wilderness, Pastor Karl shows what sets the kingdom of the world apart from the kingdom of God: one ends in death, self-service, and corruption; the other in life, compassion, and abundance. Through the stories of Elijah, Elisha, and Moses, he demonstrates that the disciples had all the history they needed to trust Jesus in the moment — and yet, like us, they forgot.At the heart of this teaching is a simple but powerful truth: you are insufficient, but you are not useless. The kingdom of God doesn't have a supply problem — it has a distribution problem. God has never asked how much you have. He only asks what you have — and what you place in his hands, he multiplies.Discipleship, Pastor Karl argues, always involves cost, courage, compassion, commands, and cooperation. The good news is that the Good Shepherd is more than sufficient for all his sheep.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

What road are you walking down?In this message from the Sermon on the Mount, Dr. Trent Langhofer teaches through Matthew 7 as Jesus contrasts the wide road that leads to destruction with the narrow way that leads to life.This sermon explores drifting versus intentional living, the voices shaping our decisions, and the difference between knowing about Jesus and truly knowing Him. Through the story of Chuck Colson and the words of Jesus, Dr. T reminds us that the narrow road may be difficult, but it leads to real life, purpose, and transformation.Scripture References:Matthew 7:13–27John 10Jeremiah 29James 1Trace Church | Colorado Springs, CONew episodes every week.

Don't miss this week's message by Teaching Pastor and Youth Leader, Sam Pharris. 

In this message from the Sermon on the Mount, Dr. T teaches through Matthew 7:7-12 and explains Jesus' invitation to ask, seek, and knock. This is not a formula for getting whatever we want from God. It is a call into deeper relationship with a good Father.Dr. T unpacks how prayer grows our connection with God, heals the way we see Him, and shapes the way we respond to others. As we receive the goodness of God vertically, we learn to release it horizontally.

"Blessed are the meek … I don't like that word. It's a great word, actually, if you understand it properly. But too often we think it means “weak,” or “feeble,” or “timid,” or “passive,” or “cowardly,” even. The gentle Jesus, meek and mild … the cosmic doormat. What the word does not evoke, often enough, is power under God-honoring control. With Jesus … infinite power, under this stunning love-driven control. Matthew was written in Greek, not English. And the Greek word is “praeis” … blessed are the “praeis.” And if you were to look “praies” up in a dictionary of New Testament Greek, you would find definitions like this: “gentle,” “humble,” “considerate,” … or “meek in the older favorable sense” … not the newer “wussy sense.” Gentle: Blessed by God, favored by God are the gentle. Humble: Blessed by God are the humble, because they won't treat others God loves with disrespect. Considerate: Favored by God are the considerate, because they won't use or abuse people because they can. So, some Bibles still translate it, “Blessed are the meek.” Others, “Blessed are those who are humble.” Others, “Blessed are the gentle.” That's my favorite, because I think it captures what Jesus meant the most clearly." Stephen "Doc" Pattison, Teaching Pastor

What did Jesus mean when He said, “Judge not”? In this message from Matthew 7, Dr. T explains one of the most misunderstood teachings in the Bible.Jesus was not banning all discernment. He was confronting hypocrisy and calling His followers to lead with humility, mercy, and truth.Learn four practical guardrails for judging Jesus' way, navigating conflict, restoring relationships, and speaking truth with grace.Scripture: Matthew 7:1-6Message: Judge Not | Sermon on the MountSpeaker: Dr. Trent Langhofer (Dr. T)Trace Church | Colorado Springs

In this message, Mike Breaux, Teaching Pastor at Eastside Christian Church in Anaheim, takes a deeper look at how we can be pulled by the currents of this world and slowly drift off course.Like a rip current, cultural influences can quietly shape our thoughts, values, and direction, often without us even realizing it. But there is hope. You'll be reminded that no matter how far you feel you've drifted, Jesus is always reaching out, ready to draw you back. Discover how to recognize spiritual drift, stand firm in your faith, and live as a light in a world that's constantly pulling the other way.

Tim Bounds boldly says that if he could inject one skill into leaders, it would be grief - not strategy, not emotional intelligence, not resilience. He believes grief isn't a liability in leadership - but a hidden strength. In this compelling conversation, Tim shares personal stories of loss and workplace setbacks, revealing how grief quietly shapes decision‑making, energy, and relationships at work. Together, we explore the five stages of grief and how they show up in teams and organizational culture. Drawing from Biblical wisdom and faith‑driven leadership principles, this episode reframes vulnerability as a catalyst for trust, resilience, and growth. Leaders will gain practical steps for creating safe spaces where people can bring their whole selves to work. This is an invitation to lead with empathy, courage, and conviction. As our guest reminds us, “Grief is not a weakness, but a path toward deeper connection, resilience, and faith‑driven growth.”About TimTim Bounds, founder of The Unison Company, is an organizational consultant and executive coach for businesses and leaders in the St. Louis region.

Send us Fan MailGUEST: VIRGIL WALKER, Teaching Pastor, Redeemer Bible Church (Gilbert, AZ) Kings, rulers, emperors, prime ministers, and presidents always surrounded themselves with advisors so they can hear what they consider to be the most informed perspectives of domestic and foreign policy. In our day, this would be the president's cabinet with the heads of the various government agencies.Most rulers throughout history have also surrounded themselves with spiritual or religious advisors in the hope that they will receive wisdom from those closest to God, or in idolatrous nations, from those who worship false gods. The Egyptian Pharaoh had his wise men, sorcerers, and magicians who provided counsel and performed their “secret arts.” The kings of Judah and Israel were always surrounded by prophets and priests in order to know God's will.And that's the critical point—knowing God's will only comes from those who genuinely know God. Just like the broad way that leads to the destruction and the narrow way that leads to eternal life, most who spiritually advise rulers will be like the false prophets of Ahab telling the king what he wants to hear while few will be brave enough to speak the true Word of God.Enter the modern day and President Trump's White House Faith Office, an advisory board of religious leaders selected by the president led by the well-known charismatic pastor and televangelist Paula White-Cain. White-Cain teaches the health, wealth, and prosperity false gospel and it influences how she leads the Faith Office.There are other more sound Christian pastors and leaders like Robert Jeffress, pastor of First Baptist Church in Dallas, and Franklin Graham, evangelist and head of Samaritan's Purse. These men are in a testing position—how to be faithful when there is compromise all around?Virgil Walker, pastor, author, writer, and podcast host, will join us this weekend to help us think through the spiritual influences on President Trump. Because how the President sees himself and how he makes decisions will be in part, perhaps in large part, influenced by who those have his ear.-----------------------------PROGRAM NOTES:Just Thinking podcastSubstack page

  Guest: David Marvin, Teaching Pastor, Prestonwood Baptist Church   If you'd like to watch this podcast, check out the PCA YouTube page.   This is the continuation from last week of a conversation with Prestonwood teaching pastor David Marvin about the practical application of God's commandment to honor your father and mother. Last week we focused on how we, as parents, can honor our own parents. This week we look at how we, as parents, can train our children to obey and honor us - so this is an important conversation! This conversation grew from a lesson that Pastor Marvin taught at Prestonwood a few weeks ago as part of the series addressing the Ten Commandments.

  Guest: David Marvin, Teaching Pastor, Prestonwood Baptist Church   If you'd like to watch this podcast, check out the PCA YouTube page.   A few weeks ago, Pastor David Marvin taught an incredible lesson from the Word of God looking at the fifth commandment, honoring your father and mother. I was able to sit down and have an incredible conversation with Pastor Marvin about the practical aspects of living out this commandment, especially when it comes to older parents and the different relationships that we, as parents ourselves, have with our parents.    Pastor Marvin shared some powerful truths about learning to respect the position of authority that God has established even if the performance of your parents was not the best. We talked about the importance of seeking forgiveness and what that truly entails, which can be filled with many obstacles.   Our God is a just and merciful God who desires for us to honor our parents and that commandment should be taken to heart and lived out for others to see. When we trust God, He can do amazing things in the lives of our families.   One resource that I mentioned and found helpful in this discussion was the following: When People are Big and God is Small: Overcoming Peer Pressure, Codependency, and the Fear of Man by Edward Welch

"And bottom line, I need the Good Shepherd, and you need the Good Shepherd. • Because, the reality is, we wander off, and sometimes we get flat out lost. • In fact, sometimes the paths we take lead directly into degradation and danger. • And we follow the wrong leaders, sometimes … we follow other sheep! • Or we just blaze our own paths … how is that working out for you? • And we come against barriers we can't scale, enemies we can't defeat, dangers we can't escape … on our own. • And when we fall, which we do, repeatedly, we can't fix ourselves. We need our souls “restored,” … a lot. Guys, here it is … listen: All of us follow someone, all of us follow something … So choose well!" Stephen "Doc" Pattison, Teaching Pastor

Preparing for Life After Death | The Gospel of John | John 3:1-8Opening Video: https://youtu.be/f2F_5KNdyig?si=mprqNudjaUSXWlTdIn this message from our Gospel of John series, Pastor Stacey explores what it truly means to prepare for life after death through the story of Nicodemus.In John 3:1–8, Jesus tells Nicodemus that no one can see the Kingdom of God unless they are born again. At first, Nicodemus struggles to understand. But as we follow his journey through Scripture—from his questions in John 3, to his defense of Jesus in John 7:48–51, and finally to his courageous act in John 19:38–42—we see the slow and powerful progression of a heart moving toward faith.This sermon reminds us that being born again is not always a single moment of clarity. For many, it is a process of seeking, questioning, understanding, and ultimately trusting Christ.Drawing also from Titus 3:5, we see that salvation is not something we earn, but something God accomplishes through His mercy and the renewing work of the Holy Spirit.If you've ever wrestled with faith, asked hard questions, or wondered what it really means to be born again, this message is for you.

In this message from our Sermon on the Mount series, Dr. T teaches through what Jesus says about marriage, divorce, remarriage, lust, holiness, and covenant faithfulness in Matthew 5 and Matthew 19.Marriage is one of the most meaningful relationships this side of heaven. It can also be one of the most painful. Whether your marriage is thriving, struggling, has ended in divorce, or you are navigating remarriage or singleness, this message centers on one clear truth:God always makes a way.Jesus brings us back to God's original design in Genesis. One man. One woman. One lifetime. Deep emotional and physical intimacy. When sin fractures what God intended, God does not abandon His people. He provides mercy, grace, and a path toward redemption.In this teaching, Dr. T addresses:What Jesus means by sexual immoralityWhy holiness is essential for healthy relationshipsGod's design for marriageHow the Bible speaks about divorce in Deuteronomy, Malachi, Jeremiah, and MatthewWhen divorce may be permissible in cases of abandonment, abuse, or adulteryHow remarriage can reflect God's redeeming graceEncouragement for those who are singleNo matter your story, Jesus meets you with truth and grace. You do not have to walk through marriage, divorce, or singleness alone.For more resources or to learn more about Trace Church in Colorado Springs, visit us online or join us for a weekend service.Service Times8:15a | 10:00a | 11:45a | 5:00p4330 Mark Dabling Blvd, Colorado Springs

This week, legendary Christian rapper Trip Lee tells us about his unexpected move into worship music with his new album. Before that, the crew swaps stories from last week's historic winter storm—Emily survived three days without power in freezing temps and Jesse narrowly avoided going to a fun Orlando Magic game with Cameron.In RELEVANT Buzz, we break down Jelly Roll's powerful Grammy acceptance moment, plus the youngest Grammy winner at just eight years old. We also dive into new research showing the vast majority of people want authentic faith representation in TV and movies, and then Emily previews two interesting new shows: Jury Duty Season 2's unexpected premise and Neighbors, HBO and A24's reality series about strangers forced to live together.Plus, Jesse announces his new podcast Target Intelligence: Psyop and Derek plugs his brand-new show, You Can't Say That in Church. Jesse of course brings his most rewatched video of the week: a Medieval Combat League warrior armed with a real axe who keeps targeting opponents from behind with hilarious headshots. Then in SLICES we cover Miami's iguana apocalypse—dinosaurs falling from trees as residents collect them by the armload (and definitely aren't disposing of them properly).And to close it out, it's Super Bowl week, so we're playing a special edition of "One Has to Go" covering everything from iconic Super Bowl commercials and halftime show moments to game-day snacks and controversial performances.
