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. Essential listening for anyone who wonders, “How can I ever be right with a holy God?”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 lesson, we explore the biblical teaching commonly called Calvinism—more properly, the Doctrines of Grace. Following chapter 6 of Dr. Hicks' book, we will examine the five points (Total Depravity, Unconditional Election, Limited Atonement, Irresistible Grace, and Perseverance of the Saints) as a faithful summary of how God sovereignly and graciously saves sinners from start to finish, all to the praise of His glorious grace.This series works to provide a positive, biblical case for key beliefs, including the sufficiency of Scripture, salvation by grace alone, justification by faith, covenant theology, Calvinism, the regulative principle of worship, and more—tracing their roots from the early church through the Reformation and Puritan eras.Our weekly Sunday School live stream begins every Lord's Day at 9:30 AM (US Central Time).About Reformed Baptist Church of McKinneyWe are a Christ-centered, Bible-believing church in McKinney, Texas, committed to the glory of God through expository preaching, sound doctrine, and vibrant fellowship.

Kyle invites youth pastors Ben Marshall and Marty Mandak, along with Aspen Ministry's Val O'Brien to join the podcast. Each tackle a statement from the 2025 Ligonier State of Theology Report and what it tells us about our culture, The Church, and our youth ministries. Based on the results of the survey, what holes do we need to fill in our teaching? What areas do we need a complete fix? These veteran youth workers tackle some difficult questions and how we can use this study to bring about lasting change in your youth ministry programs by clinging firmly to Scripture.
Diving in, to sin - it's understanding, reality, and scope. Sunday we wrap our heads around the doctrine of TOTAL DEPRAVITY. Now lest you roll your eyes, you need to try it on for size. My renewed look into this doctrine of the church provides a firm Biblical foundation for another doctrine, one called GRACE.
In this honest and weighty message kicking off the Sermon on the Mount, Pastor Karl walks through the Beatitudes—the nine “blessed are” statements that reveal the heart attitudes Jesus demands of every true disciple. From spiritual poverty and mourning over sin to meekness, insatiable hunger for righteousness, mercy, purity of heart, peacemaking, and even rejoicing in persecution, these aren't optional extras; they're the non-negotiable “be-attitudes” that must mark every citizen of God's kingdom.When these attitudes shape us, we naturally become the salt of the earth and the light of the world—distinct from culture, preserving what is decaying, and shining so brightly that others see our good works and glorify our Father in heaven. A convicting reminder that following Jesus was never meant to look like the world around us.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
Romans Vol. 1 - Coming Under GracePaul's purpose in Romans 3:9–18 is to name our true condition before God—that every one of us is “under sin,” unrighteous, and unable to seek or understand Him on our own. Until we see this diagnosis clearly, we won't recognize why our conduct is so broken or why we desperately need the cure God provides in the gospel.Sermon Preached by Chris Lewis on November 16, 2025Foothill Church exists to glorify God by living as disciples of Jesus who make disciples of Jesus.https://foothill.churchLearn about our For the Sake of His Name 2-Year Discipleship Journey:https://foothill.church/FTSOHN
One of the most important (and controversial) points of discussion in soteriology is that of total depravity. The idea that man is totally incapable of choosing God and is dead in sin, needing God to sovereignly resurrect him, is extremely insulting to the world. Yet this is the basis for the good news of the gospel. * 00:00 - Introduction * 04:44 - What is the Flesh?* 25:32 - The Sovereignty of God* 49:36 - Famous Examples of Doubt* 1:00:36 - Regeneration Precedes Faith* 1:09:28 - The Trifecta of Evil This is a public episode.

This week we began a series on the Canons of Dort, exploring the five points of Calvinism. These doctrines—Total Depravity, Unconditional Election, Limited Atonement, Irresistible Grace, and Perseverance of the Saints—show God's sovereign, transforming grace. Far from prideful or fatalistic, they call believers to humility, worship, and confidence in God's faithful work.

It is our deep conviction that the vital question most requiring to be raised today is this: Is man a totally and thoroughly depraved creature by nature? Does he enter the world completely ruined and helpless, spiritually blind and dead in trespasses and sins? According as is our answer to that question, so will be our views on many others. It is on the basis of this dark background that the whole Bible proceeds.
Man is not now as God made him. He has lost the crown and glory of his creation, and has plunged himself into an awful gulf of sin and misery. By his own perversity he has wrecked himself and placed a consequence of woe on his posterity. He is a ruined creature as the result of his apostasy from God.

Jim Osman examines four Reformation gospel truths essential for understanding God's glorious grace in Ephesians 2:1-10. These biblical truths expose the fundamental divide between Protestant and Catholic theology. First, man is spiritually dead in trespasses and sins, enslaved to the world, Satan, and fleshly lusts, unable to please God or work toward salvation. Second, God demonstrates His rich mercy by making spiritually dead sinners alive in Christ through sovereign grace. Third, salvation comes by grace alone through faith alone, not by works, leaving no room for human boasting. Fourth, good works follow salvation as evidence, not as a means of earning favor with God. ★ Support this podcast ★

This introduction to Christian ethics explores the foundational principles of biblical morality. The lesson examines three categories of ethics: descriptive, normative, and meta-ethics, with particular focus on understanding how Christians should approach ethical questions. Christian ethics differs fundamentally from secular philosophy because believers possess Scripture as their authoritative source. The study demonstrates that ethical behavior flows from identity in Christ rather than mere rule-following. This introduction to Christian ethics establishes that truly good works require proper motivation, right purpose, and alignment with God's glory. Believers must understand that their moral capacity stems from union with Christ, making them capable of acts that please God. The lesson clarifies that while unbelievers may perform outwardly beneficial actions, these cannot be truly good without the right motivation and purpose centered on glorifying God. This comprehensive introduction to Christian ethics lays the groundwork for examining specific ethical issues through a biblical lens, emphasizing that all Christian conduct must flow from a heart transformed by faith and directed toward God's glory. ★ Support this podcast ★
In today's episode, Tim engages in a profound conversation with Mako Nagasawa about restorative justice, healing atonement, and the complexities of faith. They explore various atonement theories, the journey of deconstruction, and the implications of parenting on understanding God. The discussion delves into the contrast between restorative and retributive justice, the challenges posed by Christian nationalism, and the importance of recognizing the multifaceted nature of human beings.

Send us a text(REPRISE) For a second time, Ken welcomes Rev. Ben Cremer to the podcast for Season 5. Ken starts by thanking Ben for that first interview, "Myths We Believe," which is far and away the most downloaded podcast of Ken's more than 300 episodes (exceeding the former first-place interview with Kristin Kobes Du Mez). Ben is a prolific author, just finishing up the manuscript of his first book. He has a big audience for his newsletter, which is delivered weekly on Sunday mornings. He calls it "Into The Gray." It's a resource of books, podcasts, and then a thoughtful essay of his own around important issues of the day. Ken chose three to discuss on this podcast - first, "A Troubling Conversation" highlighting the commonly held doctrine of Total Depravity. The second contemplates the common default answer when Christians encounter those who hold opposite views. They'll say, "Well, they aren't REAL Christians." The third addresses a spiritual discipline that is widely ignored in the traditions both Ben and Ken grew up in - lament. Ben brings fresh, sometimes provocative thinking to all three issues. Ken predicts that this conversation will be another that breaks records. SHOW NOTESSupport the showBecome a Patron - Click on the link to learn how you can become a Patron of the show. Thank you!

Discover what Scripture teaches about our sinful nature before Christ and the transformative power of regeneration.TIMESTAMPS:0:00 Introduction and today's theological question0:48 What is total depravity? Defining the doctrine2:18 Biblical foundation: Romans 8:7-8 and our natural state3:24 Total depravity, salvation, and the Christian life5:13 The answer: 2 Corinthians 5:17 and new creation theologyKEY POINTS:- Total depravity means sin affects every aspect of our being, not that we're as evil as possible- In our natural state, we cannot please God or respond to Him properly (Romans 8:7-8)- This doctrine explains why we need salvation through Jesus Christ- Christians are no longer "totally depraved" after salvation- While believers still struggle with sin, they are fundamentally changed (2 Corinthians 5:17)- Christians are no longer bound to sin but are being progressively sanctified- The theological distinction between pre-salvation nature and post-salvation nature is crucialSubmit your questions for future episodes to markedbyGrace@fbcjax.comSCRIPTURE REFERENCES:Romans 8:7-8 - "The mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God's law, indeed it cannot. Those who are in the flesh cannot please God."2 Corinthians 5:17 - "If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come."
