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.\nWalking 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.\nA convicting and grace-filled look at how radical discipleship requires taking sin seriously while never giving up on people.\n\nWatch all our sermons on our youtube channel \"Flipside Christian Church\"\nJoin us in person 8:00am, 9:30am & 11:00am every Sunday morning.\n37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636\nFor more visit us at flipside.church\nFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/-15b91ZN5YSTvcMaBg88Un0tBNj8bvuxIlVEwGcwztE/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzYxMDAvMTU4Mzc4/MjMzNy1hcnR3b3Jr/LmpwZw.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
