<p>In this message, Pastor Karl walks through Matthew 19, where the Pharisees approach Jesus with pointed questions about divorce — testing him against the competing rabbinic schools of Shammai and Hillel. Rather than settling the debate on their terms, Jesus redirects them to God's original design for marriage from Genesis, addressing not just the surface question but the deeper issue underneath it: a hardened heart that looks for loopholes instead of surrendering to God's standard.</p><p>Pastor Karl unpacks what Scripture teaches about marriage, divorce, and remarriage with pastoral care and honesty about how difficult these teachings can be to live out. He also explores the chapter's turn toward children, and the story of the rich young ruler — a man who came asking about religious righteousness but was really wrestling with money and control.</p><p>The big idea: Jesus confronts the hardness of our hearts because his kingdom calls for commitment and sacrifice, while our natural tendency is to search for loopholes and excuses. This message is an invitation to let Scripture rebuke, correct, and train us — and to rely on the power of God's Spirit rather than our own willpower to live faithfully.</p><p>Join us in person <strong>8:00am, 9:30am & 11:00am</strong> every <strong>Sunday morning.</strong><br><strong>37193 Ave 12</strong> #3h, Madera, CA 93636<br>For more visit us at <a href="https://www.flipside.church/media/">flipside.church</a></p><p>For more podcasts visit <a href="https://flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm/">flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm</a></p>

<p>How many times should we forgive someone who has wronged us? In this message, Pastor Karl explores Jesus' powerful teaching in Matthew 18:21–35, revealing that forgiveness is not about keeping score—it's about reflecting the incredible mercy we've received from God.</p><p>Through the Parable of the Unforgiving Servant, Pastor Karl explains the immeasurable debt of sin that Christ has forgiven and why that forgiveness transforms the way we respond to those who hurt us. Discover the difference between forgiveness and enabling harmful behavior, why forgiveness is central to life in God's Kingdom, and how releasing others from their debt brings freedom to our own hearts.</p><p>Whether you're wrestling with past wounds, strained relationships, or the challenge of extending grace, this message offers biblical truth and practical encouragement to help you walk in the freedom Christ has made possible.</p><p><br></p><p>Watch all our sermons<strong> </strong>on our <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@flipsidechristianchurch8244/videos"><strong>youtube</strong></a> channel "<strong>Flipside Christian Church</strong>"<br>Join us in person <strong>8:00am, 9:30am & 11:00am</strong> every <strong>Sunday morning.</strong><br><strong>37193 Ave 12</strong> #3h, Madera, CA 93636<br>For more visit us at <a href="https://www.flipside.church/media/">flipside.church</a></p><p>For more podcasts visit <a href="https://flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm/">flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm</a></p>

<p>In this episode of Kingdom Now, Pastor Karl continues the verse-by-verse study through Matthew 18, picking up where Jeff Stemple left off. Building on the disciples' question of "who's the greatest?", Karl unpacks Jesus's answer: none of us are — apart from Him, we're all dependent and called to humble, childlike faith.</p><p>Walking through verses 7-20, Karl explores how Jesus's kingdom is neither casual about sin nor stingy with mercy. He digs into Jesus's strong warnings about cutting off whatever causes us to stumble, the parable of the wandering sheep (and why it's different from Luke 15's version), and God's heart to pursue those who wander — even when they know exactly where home is. The episode closes with practical, biblical steps for restoring relationships when a brother or sister sins against you, emphasizing that the goal is always restoration, not winning.</p><p>A convicting and grace-filled look at how radical discipleship requires taking sin seriously while never giving up on people.</p><p><br></p><p>Watch all our sermons<strong> </strong>on our <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@flipsidechristianchurch8244/videos"><strong>youtube</strong></a> channel "<strong>Flipside Christian Church</strong>"<br>Join us in person <strong>8:00am, 9:30am & 11:00am</strong> every <strong>Sunday morning.</strong><br><strong>37193 Ave 12</strong> #3h, Madera, CA 93636<br>For more visit us at <a href="https://www.flipside.church/media/">flipside.church</a></p><p>For more podcasts visit <a href="https://flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm/">flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm</a></p>
