Set on the Tuesday before the crucifixion, Jesus turns from predicting what's coming to teaching His disciples how to live until He returns — and the focus isn't prediction, it's readiness.\nPastor Karl unpacks the big idea: because we don't know when Jesus will return, disciples must live ready — staying faithful and vigilant in the work He's given us. Walking through Jesus's comparison to the days of Noah, he warns against letting \"normal life become normalized\" — drifting into comfort and complacency while missing the spiritual urgency of the moment. He then turns to the parable of the faithful servant, showing that faithfulness isn't about fame or big accomplishments — it's simply doing the job the Master has given you, consistently, whether or not He's watching.\nThe message closes with a challenge to live both repentant and expectant: sober about sin, but alert and ready for Christ's return at any moment.\n\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}
