What does the Bible teach about nations, civil government, Christian citizenship, and the lordship of Jesus Christ over all things? In this sermon, Pastor Brandon Scroggins continues the Nationalism 250 series with a message titled “Prayerful Labor for a Revival of Christendom.” This sermon examines the biblical place of nations, the meaning of Christendom, the relationship between church and state, the dangers of secular neutrality, and the Christian’s responsibility as a citizen of both heaven and earth. From Genesis 10–11 to Acts 17, Jeremiah 29, Romans 13, 1 Timothy 2, Philippians 3, and Psalm 33, this message calls believers to repent, pray, build, disciple, and labor faithfully for the glory of Christ in family, church, community, and nation. Pastor Brandon also addresses Christian nationalism, civil magistrates, the sovereignty of God, the dignity and depravity of man, the separation of church and state, and the need for revival beginning in our own hearts. 📖 Key Scriptures: Acts 17:26, Jeremiah 29:5–7, Philippians 3:20, 1 Timothy 2:1–4, Psalm 33:12, Proverbs 14:34 🎙️ Preached at Reformation Baptist Church in Central Alabama ⛪ Pastor: Brandon Scroggins

In this Father’s Day sermon, Pastor Brandon Scroggins continues the series on biblical nationhood by looking at the kind of men God used in the making of America. This message highlights the Great Awakening, the Minutemen, and especially the often-forgotten Black Robe Regiment—the bold, Bible-preaching pastors who thundered the whole counsel of God from their pulpits and helped shape a generation of courageous Christian men. Long before the first shots of the War for Independence were fired, faithful pastors were teaching Scripture, forming families, discipling churches, confronting tyranny, and applying the Lordship of Christ to every area of life. From Peter Muhlenberg to James Caldwell, this sermon calls men to recover biblical courage, sacrificial responsibility, watchfulness, strength, and love. Pastor Brandon then turns to 1 Corinthians 16:13–14, where Paul commands the church: “Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love.” Preached at Reformation Baptist Church in Central Alabama.

In this sermon, Pastor Brandon Scroggins examines the providence of God in the making of a nation, showing from Scripture that God is sovereign over nations, rulers, history, and every detail of our lives. From Acts 17, 1 Kings 22, Daniel, Ezra, and other passages, we are reminded that no nation rises or falls by accident, and no ruler governs outside the hand of Almighty God. As America approaches its 250th anniversary, this message calls Christians to rightly understand nationhood, providence, responsibility, patriotism, and the lordship of Jesus Christ over all things. God governs the affairs of men, and His people must trust Him, obey Him, and labor faithfully where He has planted them. “The providence of God includes lives, families, churches, nations, and even global empires. He holds the whole world in His hands.”

In this final sermon through 2 Corinthians, Pastor Brandon Scroggins brings the 53-message journey through Paul’s second inspired letter to a close. After 126 total sermons through 1 and 2 Corinthians, we are reminded of God’s faithfulness to mature His church one verse at a time through the expositional preaching of His Word. Paul ends 2 Corinthians with a powerful closing charge and one of the most beautiful benedictions in Scripture. In 2 Corinthians 13:11–14, the church is called to receive and pursue the refreshing mercies of heaven: joy, restoration, comfort, unity, peace, God’s presence, holy affection, grace, love, and fellowship. This sermon is a rich reminder that Christ is building His church through grace, truth, repentance, discipline, comfort, unity, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit. May we be a church reformed and always being reformed according to the Word of God.

What does it mean to “examine yourselves, to see whether you are in the faith”? In this sermon from 2 Corinthians 13:5–10, Pastor Brandon Scroggins preaches on the necessity of spiritual self-examination, the danger of false assurance, and the comfort of looking outside ourselves to Jesus Christ. Paul’s command is not a call to endless fear or morbid introspection, but to honest examination before God, dedication to what is right, and restoration through Christ. True Christians must beware of two dangerous ditches: presuming upon cheap grace on one side, and living in constant self-condemnation on the other. Our hope is not found by endlessly looking within, but by looking to Christ, who saves, restores, and builds up His people.

In this sermon, “Autopsy of a Dead Church,” Pastor Brandon Scroggins exposits 2 Corinthians 12:16–21, warning the church against the sins that weaken, divide, and destroy the people of God. Beginning with Charles Spurgeon and the Downgrade Controversy, this message shows how doctrinal compromise, slander, bitterness, gossip, pride, disorder, and unrepentant sin grieve the Holy Spirit and threaten the health of a local church. Yet the hope of the gospel remains: God’s kindness leads His people to repentance, holiness, forgiveness, and the fruit of the Spirit. Paul models faithful Christian endurance by loving when unloved, building up when torn down, confronting error with godly concern, and mourning over sin with the heart of Christ.

Drawing from the life of Charles Spurgeon and the influence of his godly mother, this sermon calls men, women, and children to pursue lives ordered by the Word of God.

In this expositional sermon from 2 Corinthians 12:7–10, Pastor Brandon Scroggins walks through one of the most powerful passages in Scripture—reminding us that God’s grace is not just saving grace, but sustaining grace for every trial. When life turns bitter and difficult, believers are called to trust that God’s grace is sufficient—even in weakness, suffering, and affliction. This message explores how God uses trials, even a “thorn in the flesh,” to humble us, sanctify us, and display His power through our weakness. 📖 Main Text: 2 Corinthians 12:7–10 🎙️ Series: 2 Corinthians Expositional Study ⛪ Church: Reformation Baptist Church (Central Alabama)
