He expresses deep gratitude for the mentorship of Pastor Karl and the church's generous support, which has impacted lives both locally and globally. Diving into Psalm 107, Sean explores four groups of people—those who wander, sit in darkness, live in foolishness, and face storms—highlighting God's unfailing love that heals, saves, and delivers. Through personal anecdotes and scripture, he underscores the transformative power of Jesus, encouraging believers to reflect on God's goodness and inviting others to consider the hope found in Christ.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

Devote yourselves to prayer with an alert mind and a thankful heart.- Col. 4:2 (NLT) In this episode you'll find three simple ideas for praying with an aleart mind and thankful heart. harvestministryteams.com/friday

We all know the age-old question, “Is the glass half-empty or half-full?” As Christians, we can't hold to the glass being half-empty—that mindset shows a lack of thankfulness. We often commit a besetting sin of going to the next problem instead of taking time to thank God for anything. Why do we keep thinking about what we don't have? Let's thank God for what we do have!

Today's “T” for Latter-day Saints could arguably be the most important of them all and there plenty of examples to show how important it is to have a “thankful heart” in all things.

‘I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.'—Psalm 138:2‘For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.'—2 Corinthians 8:9

The God of the Holy Bible has promised to never leave us nor forsake us. So when life becomes overwhelming we have the option to turn to Him and let Him be the support we need. Guest, Karen Dittman shares the insight she's gained through her seasons of life on the hamster wheel. She knows that God meets on that wheel and she's here to share the various ways we can do more than survive, we can thrive even in the midst of overwhelming situations.   Summary: - Karen Dittman discusses her journey of faith and personal growth amidst challenging life circumstances. - Of her two books, one focuses on the benefits of 7 minutes with Jesus, practicing gratitude and the other is a simple yet life changing perspective on wellness from a biblical perspective, introducing concepts like the Grace Cycle. - Karen's life was profoundly impacted by her daughter's addiction, which led her to seek a deeper connection with God. - She describes feeling overwhelmed during a difficult period, likened to being on a "hamster wheel," with multiple personal and family challenges. - A pivotal moment was when she learned to surrender control and place her daughter "on the altar," trusting God's plan for her. - Karen emphasizes the importance of experiencing God's presence in the midst of life's struggles, rather than seeking to change the circumstances. - Her journey led to a deeper understanding of God's love, transforming her perception of her own worth and identity in Christ. - She discusses the concept of the grace cycle in her latest book, promoting gradual, supportive changes rather than drastic overhauls. - Karen concludes by reassuring the audience that they are not alone in their struggles, as God is always present and ready to offer support and love. Podcast Intro: Karen Dittman, my guest on this episode, shares her journey through overwhelming personal challenges. I say overwhelming because in an by itself each one of these challenges could take its toll on any of us and Karen was juggling many of these life challenges at the same time. In Karen's personal example she didn't have the option to put life on hold, catch her breath and reengage. Life was coming non-stop, fast and furious and in serious ways. Serious responsibilities that included her husband and her children. She and her husband fostered and adopted, and after struggling years with infertility she's surprised with a bio child at 47 (God has a sense of humor right!). She discovers that her adult daughter is struggling with addiction, and Karen has walked through other challenges with her children, things like anxiety, ADHD, autism. Rather than delve into each one of these areas we touched on a couple but I thought it important to discover how did Karen learn to lift our head under the weight of everyday life. I want to know not only how she survives but actually thrives. What did she discover about Jesus in the midst of what she terms as life on the hamster wheel? Life can be very chaotic and I loved the way Karen pursed the heart of God for a practical solution that met her where she was at. She discovered that God cares about the hamster wheel and that He had solutions and practices that would keep her tethered to His heart, walking His pace and staying in grace, peace and true joy. We talked about her book: Thriving in Grace: Unleashing Wellness from a Biblical Perspective. I found great value in the Grace Cycle. A process for change that focuses on acceptance, small steps to turn things around and celebrating progress. The Grace Cycle is so simple and yet life changing. I scratch my head sometimes. How is it that I overlook the power of Christ's simplicity. There are often times when the simplicity of God is my stumbling block to breakthrough! Also, Karen has a spiritual discipline of spending 7 minutes with Jesus throughout the day. I knew immediately the value of this because when I am intentional about making this a priority to my day I'm refreshed, I have clarity and I'm motivated. So I loved this reminder. She gives us great info on the benefits of 7 minutes with Jesus and how she practices that but she goes into greater detail in her book The Fruit of Gratitude: Cultivate a Thankful heart of Experiencing God's Goodness. Karen's ability to find peace and purpose through pain serves as a beautiful inspiration for those of us facing similar challenges, offering hope and practical guidance for deepening one's relationship with God. That my friend, intimate relationship with our Creator enables us to lift our head under the weight of life in its most crushing seasons. Let's listen in so that we might discover how to live loved and thrive in the midst of the overwhelming seasons of life!

The Last Sunday of the Church Year Mark 13:24–37

Fr. Ryan preached this homily on November 28, 2024 at St Basil the Great Catholic Church in Brecksville, OH. The readings are from Sir 50:22-24, 145:2-3, 4-5, 6-7, 8-9, 10-11, 1 Cor 1:3-9 & Lk 17:11-19.

There is something off in the human heart when we don't give thanks. This is why Jesus asks the leper who returned giving thanks where the others went. There are deeper questions that we have and encounter when we give thanks.      St. Basil the Great Bulletin: https://basilthegreat.org/bulletin/    Check Us Out Online: Website: www.basilthegreat.org Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stbasilthegr8/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stbasilthegr8 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@stbasilthegr8 Spotify Music: https://bit.ly/StBasilSpotify

Message from Jarrett Stephens on November 24, 2024

Love, joy, and peace are the pillars of a healthy heart. Thanksgiving activates love, joy, and peace inside of you. Thanksgiving is a perspective. It is not based on what you've been through but what you choose to think about.

Sunday November 24, 2024 || A Thankful Heart|| Pastor Hilda Henderson

Hi, I'm John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you're listening to Share Life Today. According to a popular survey last year, ninety-three percent of Americans celebrate Christmas. That's really amazing when you think about it! And even more shocking: many of the people celebrating Christmas don't know the Savior who it's all about. This gives us an incredible opportunity amidst all the Christmas songs, shopping, parties, and festivities to tell those around us about the true meaning of Christmas—that in the city of David, a Savior was born, which is Christ the Lord. When we talk about Jesus' birth, life, death, and resurrection, we're giving them an opportunity to respond to what Jesus has done for them. So let's share the Gospel and ask our friends and family if they want to accept the greatest gift that's ever given—forgiveness through trusting in Christ alone. It can be as easy as asking them if they know what Christmas is really all about! For help in getting started, visit our website at www.sharelife.today.

Thankful Heart - Lesson 2 - Pastor Mitchell Bland

Hi, I'm John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you're listening to Share Life Today. In the past month, my grandson had his birthday, and upon receiving his gifts, he said, “Wow! These are so cool I can't stop being grateful!” We chuckled at these heartwarming words from a seven-year-old, but isn't it just profound? When we are given good gifts, we just can't help but be grateful. And we have received good gifts from our Heavenly Father–of first importance, the gift of salvation! He promised a Messiah who would come take away our sins, and He fulfilled the promise of salvation through Jesus to all who would put their full trust in Him. We have seen God's goodness and faithfulness through Jesus, and we can also cling to His other promises that He's made for us. The result is a heart ready to believe God at His Word and fulfill His purpose for our lives. Let's obey Jesus by following His Great Commission to us to go and share the Gospel with our communities and families! For help, visit www.sharelife.today.

Hi, I'm John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you're listening to Share Life Today. What is a major characteristic of a heart changed by Jesus? Well, it is a spirit of joyous, vibrant, passionate thankfulness. As people rescued from sin and darkness, we are transformed into grateful children of God who walk in His light. And as His ambassadors, we're told to walk in the Spirit, grow in Him, and tell others about who Jesus is and what He did on the cross. As we learn more about what we've been rescued from—God's wrath, the debt of sin, our old fallen nature...our gratefulness to our Savior also abounds. So let's be planted like the tree found in Psalm 1—by streams of water, which yields its fruit in the season. Our growth comes from Christ and our fruit should be blessing those who walk by us with the message of the Gospel that saved us. Let's tell others about the Savior that we are thankful for and the Good News of the Gospel! For more, visit www.sharelife.today.

Christian virtue is not just knowing the definition, but it is in putting virtue actively in the presence of every moment. The virtue of trust, thanks to God in all things, must be acted out in a real life to be understood and copied.
