In this episode, we fast-forward to the birth of John the Baptist and the powerful moment when Zacharias’ silence is broken. After nine months without a voice, his first words are not doubt or explanation, but praise to God. Walking through Luke 1:63–79, we explore Zacharias’ Spirit-filled prophecy and its gospel themes: the blessing of redemption, the beginning of God’s mercies, the bringing of true deliverance, and the burden placed on John to prepare the way for Christ. This passage reminds us that God keeps His promises, shines His light into our darkness, and calls His redeemed people to lifelong worship and faithful service.

In this episode, we explore the Feast of Weeks—Israel’s celebration of the firstfruits of the wheat harvest and a reminder that every blessing comes from God. Deuteronomy 16:9–12 shows how Pentecost centered on honoring God’s timing, rejoicing with a thankful heart, and remembering their deliverance from Egypt. We connect these themes to Christ as the firstfruits of the resurrection and the Spirit’s outpouring in Acts 2, revealing how Pentecost points us to a life of gratitude, generosity, and gospel harvest.

In this episode, we explore the rich biblical meaning behind the Passover as commanded in Deuteronomy 16. Though Israel still observes the Passover today, many miss the true spiritual significance that God intended, one that points us to His sanctifying work, His redeeming power, and the unity of His people. We walk through three major themes found in the text. First, we look at the Sanctified Offering, the unblemished sacrifice, fully consumed, and made accessible to all, even those once considered unclean. Then, we examine the Special Observance of the month of Abib: the timing, the place, and the bread that reminded Israel of their suffering and their sudden deliverance. Finally, we consider the Solemn Assembly, the gathering of God’s people around one focus, His greatness and their redemption. As we trace Israel’s Passover from the first month of their sacred calendar to the pilgrimage feasts that shaped their year, we uncover a rhythm of remembrance that ultimately points forward to Christ, our Passover Lamb. The episode closes by drawing a clear connection to the Lord’s Table, where believers today remember the sacrifice that secured our redemption. If you want to better understand the Passover in its biblical context, and see how it prepares the way for Christ—this episode will deepen your appreciation for God’s deliverance, both then and now.

In this message, Pastor Browning explores the gracious heart of God revealed in the “Lord’s release.” Every seven years, Israel was commanded to forgive debts, free servants, and rest the land, not as an economic policy, but as a spiritual practice. It reminded them that everything they possessed was given by God, and that His blessing was meant to flow through them, not end with them. Deuteronomy 15 teaches us that true generosity begins with remembering divine ownership. God gives, God blesses, and God calls His people to mirror His mercy.When we live with open hands, releasing, forgiving, and blessing others, we reflect His kingdom on earth. Through this sermon, discover three enduring truths that shape the believer’s stewardship and compassion: The Release of the Lord — forgiving debts because all we have is His. The Reigning of the Nations — living as citizens of a greater kingdom. The Reason for Blessing — caring for the needy with cheerful hearts. The “Lord’s release” points to the greatest release of all, when God forgave our debt of sin through Christ. As recipients of such grace, we are called to live the same way: grateful, generous, and guided by His heart for others.

In this episode, we explore The Special Ordaining — a moment when Jesus called twelve men, not merely to observe His ministry, but to be with Him and be sent by Him. From Mark 3, we see that ordination isn’t a ceremonial event reserved for a few — it’s a divine calling extended to every believer in Christ. Pastor Browning unpacks what it means to be ordained unto good works (Ephesians 2:10), showing that discipleship is both relational and functional. Before we can go in His power, we must first come into His presence. Through this message, discover four defining marks of every true disciple: Communion — learning to be with Him in fellowship. Commission — being sent by Him with authority. Confession — proclaiming His name without shame. Confirmation — living in the power of His Spirit. Ordination, then, is not about status — it’s about surrender. It’s a call to walk closely with the Master, carry His message, and live by His power.

When we talk about missions, we often think about faraway places — but before missions is ever about a place, it’s about a message. In this episode, we explore what Paul calls “the gospel of peace” — the good news that reconciles sinful man to a holy God.We’ll see how the Gospel brings new life, new family, and a new inheritance to those who believe. And we’ll be reminded that this saving message isn’t just meant to be known — it’s meant to be shared.Every believer has a part to play in God’s redemptive plan, because before the Gospel can reach the ends of the earth, it must first reach the end of our own silence. Key Themes: The Gospel as the power of God unto salvation What it means to “call upon the Lord” The difference between a preacher’s calling and the act of preaching Why the Gospel is “glad tidings of good things”

Many Christians long for revival, a spark that reignites their faith. But what happens after the spark fades? In this episode, we turn to Ephesians 4:23 and 1 Samuel 11 to discover the difference between a momentary revival and a lasting renewal. Revival begins a change, but renewal sustains it. Drawing from Israel’s renewal at Gilgal and Paul’s call to “be renewed in the spirit of your mind,” we’ll explore how daily renewal transforms our thoughts, strengthens our spirit, and keeps Christ reigning within. Renewal isn’t just emotional excitement, it’s spiritual realignment. Let God renew your mind so your life reflects His will, day by day.

Even the “father of faith” had moments of fear and failure. In this episode, we examine Genesis 20 to see Abraham falter by lying about Sarah, acting out of fear instead of faith. Yet God’s grace intervenes, preserving His promises and demonstrating that our failures do not frustrate His plans. We’ll explore how fear can lead to folly, how God restrains and restores, and how His mercy can turn failure into favor. This is a timely reminder: your missteps don’t disqualify you from God’s purpose, His faithfulness remains unshaken.

In this episode, we explore Paul’s comforting words in 1 Thessalonians 4:13–18 about the hope of the resurrection and the promise of Christ’s return. We’ll see how the early church fathers like Victorinus, Irenaeus, and Brother Dolcino spoke of the church being “caught up,” and why the rapture remains a vital “mystery” revealed in the New Testament. From the shout, the voice, and the trumpet, to the comfort we find in Christ’s return, this study reminds us that we do not sorrow as the world sorrows, but look forward with hope, joy, and assurance that we shall ever be with the Lord.

In this episode, we dive into Deuteronomy 13 and explore how God calls His people to remain faithful in the face of spiritual distractions. From deceptive leaders to persuasive friends and popular movements, the Bible warns that even small compromises can steer us away from wholehearted worship. We break down a simple, alliterated approach for walking in holiness today: Assess all teaching – Test what you hear by God’s Word. Adore above all – Keep Christ first, even over family and friends. Abstain from all compromise – Remove influences that pull you from obedience. Act in accountability – Protect your heart and community by living with integrity. Join us as we uncover practical ways to guard your heart, resist distractions, and stay rooted in God’s commands, ensuring His mercy, blessing, and compassion in your life.

Genesis 19 gives us one of the most sobering pictures in all of Scripture—a man who once walked with Abraham now stumbling in the ruins of Sodom. In this episode, we look at the tragic story of Lot and the devastating results of compromise. From the abuse of family and favor to the abhorrent fruit of his decisions, Lot’s life warns us that choices matter and sin always costs more than we expect. We’ll contrast Abraham, who stood before the Lord in prayer, with Lot, who staggered before the world in compromise. Along the way, we’ll see God’s mercy in deliverance, the tragedy of Lot’s wife looking back, and the bitter legacy of Moab and Ammon. This passage is not just history—it is a warning for today. Where we stand determines what we see, and what we choose shapes the legacy we leave. Will we pitch our tents toward Sodom, or will we stand before the Lord?

In this episode, we continue our study through Deuteronomy 12, looking at God’s provision and protection in worship. The Lord not only gave Israel meat for their hunger in the midst of battle, but also direction to keep their worship pure. We’ll see how He provides for His people’s portion, protects them from pagan snares, and calls them to rejoice in His presence. These timeless truths remind us that God still desires His people to worship Him His way, in gratitude and holiness.

In Genesis 18 we see two powerful truths: God’s promise to Abraham and Sarah, and Abraham’s intercession for the righteous in Sodom. Sarah laughed in doubt, but the Lord reminded her, “Is any thing too hard for the Lord?” Abraham, in turn, boldly pleaded for others, though Lot’s testimony carried little influence. This passage challenges us to trust God in the impossible and to stand faithfully in prayer and witness for those around us.

In this episode, Pastor Browning walks through Deuteronomy 12 to show why God commanded His people to worship Him alone as they entered the Promised Land. We’ll see the danger of idolatry, the call to destroy false gods completely, and the blessing of rejoicing in God’s presence. What was true for Israel is still true for us, real joy and lasting rest are only found when we worship God alone.

In Deuteronomy 11:26–32, God places before His people a clear choice: the path of blessing through obedience, or the path of cursing through rebellion. In this message, we consider the bounty that comes from walking in God’s ways—protection, provision, plenteous goodness, and priority—as well as the burden that results from idolatry and disobedience. The lesson is timeless: God’s people must choose daily whether to honor Him or to follow after worthless substitutes. The call is clear—live in obedience and enjoy the blessing of God.

In this message from Deuteronomy 11:16–25, we are reminded of the call to live in covenant caution and commitment. God warns His people to take heed against the peril of deception, the pollution of idolatry, and the punishment of His wrath. He then calls us to lay up His words—to educate our children, communicate His truth daily, and saturate our lives with Scripture. Finally, we are challenged to diligently keep His commandments through devotion, dedication, and dependence. This passage teaches us how to guard our hearts, ground our homes, and guide our steps in faithful obedience to the Lord.

In Genesis 16, we see Abram and Sarai struggle with the temptation to “help” God fulfill His promise. Their impatience led to heartache, strife, and division, but also a reminder that God still hears and sees His people even in the midst of failure. In this study, we’ll learn the dangers of following counsel outside of God’s Word, the consequences of fleshly decisions, and the hope found in the God who never abandons us.

In this message from Deuteronomy 11:7–17, we explore God’s conditional covenant with Israel and the blessings tied to their obedience. Unlike Egypt, the land God promised was a land cared for by His own hand, sustained by His rain, and blessed by His presence. Israel’s strength in battle, their longevity in blessing, and the fruitfulness of the land all depended on their faith in God’s power and His promises. Join us as we see how God governs, gives, and calls His people to trust and obey Him.

In this episode, we look at Deuteronomy 11 and reflect on God’s call to Israel: “your eyes have seen.” The Lord reminds His people that those who have personally witnessed His mighty works are held to a greater level of love, service, and obedience. We’ll walk through three key reminders— His mighty deliverance from Egypt, His merciful provision in the wilderness, and His righteous discipline toward those who rebelled. Just as Israel was not to forget what they had seen, believers today must guard against becoming entitled or complacent, especially when we’ve been blessed to know God’s truth from an early age. We’ll be encouraged to respond to God’s grace with renewed love and wholehearted devotion.
