From the Rising of the Sun to its Setting | Malachi 1:6-14
2w ago01:07:41Tap to summarizeCan we worship the true God in the wrong way? In Malachi 1:6–11, the Lord rebukes His people for offering careless, polluted, and halfhearted worship. Rather than bringing their first and best, they brought God what was unwanted and worthless. Pastor Brandon Scroggins explains why God deserves our highest honor, reverence, preparation, and devotion. This passage calls us to repent of apathetic worship, seek God’s mercy, and rest in Jesus Christ—the spotless Lamb whose perfect sacrifice makes the worship of His people acceptable before God. From the rising of the sun to its setting, the name of the Lord will be great among the nations. Scripture: Malachi 1:6–11 Pastor: Brandon Scroggins Church: Reformation Baptist Church
Transcribe →I Have Loved You | Malachi 1:2-5
3w ago01:09:10Tap to summarizeThe Unchanging Covenant Love of God Scripture: Malachi 1:2–5 In this expositional sermon from Malachi 1:2–5, Pastor Brandon Scroggins examines one of the most profound declarations in all of Scripture: "I have loved you," says the LORD. When God's people questioned His love because of difficult circumstances, the Lord responded by pointing them back to His sovereign covenant faithfulness. This message explores the assurance of God's love, His sovereign election, the relationship between God's love and holiness, and why believers must walk by faith rather than by sight. Whether you are struggling with doubt, suffering, or questioning God's goodness, this sermon reminds us that God's love is not measured by our circumstances but by His eternal covenant fulfilled in Jesus Christ.

Transcribe →Where to Turn When Worship Grows Cold | Introduction to Malachi
3w ago01:08:53Tap to summarizeWhat should we do when our worship becomes routine, our hearts grow cold, and our confidence in God begins to weaken? In this introductory sermon from the book of Malachi, Pastor Brandon Scroggins explains how God confronted a people who had returned from exile, rebuilt the temple, and resumed religious activity—yet had drifted into spiritual apathy. Their deepest problem was not political, cultural, or economic. It was spiritual. Malachi speaks directly to many struggles believers still face today: doubting God’s love, offering Him our leftovers, growing weary in obedience, questioning His justice, neglecting faithful worship, and becoming comfortable with the world around us. Through Malachi 1:1 and an overview of the book, this message explores the historical setting, prophetic purpose, major themes, and gospel hope of God’s final Old Testament prophet. Malachi’s message is both a warning and an invitation: return to the Lord, remember His covenant faithfulness, and look to Jesus Christ—the promised Sun of Righteousness who brings healing, reconciliation, liberty, and joy. Sermon: Where to Turn When Worship Grows Cold Scripture: Malachi 1:1 Preacher: Pastor Brandon Scroggins Church: Reformation Baptist Church Location: Central Alabama

4w ago01:00:14Tap to summarizeHonoring Civil Government While Resisting Unlawful Tyrants How should Christians think about civil government? What does Romans 13 actually teach? Is there ever a biblical justification for resisting tyranny? In this Independence Day message, Pastor Brandon Scroggins examines Scripture's teaching on civil government, authority, justice, and Christian citizenship. Beginning with the historical foundations surrounding America's founding, this sermon ultimately points believers to the supreme authority of King Jesus and His perfect rule over every nation. From Romans 13, Proverbs, Exodus, Acts, and throughout Scripture, we explore God's design for civil government, the purpose of lawful authority, and the biblical principles that guide Christians in honoring governing authorities while remaining faithful to Christ above all. Whether you're studying biblical government, Christian citizenship, or seeking a biblical worldview regarding authority and liberty, this sermon offers a rich, Scripture-saturated exposition.
Transcribe →Prayerful Labor for a Revival of Christendom | Nationalism 250
Jun 2901:05:52Tap to summarizeWhat 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
Transcribe →The Making of Men in the Making of a Nation | 1 Corinthians 16:13–14
Jun 2200:59:07Tap to summarizeIn 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.
Transcribe →The Providence of God in the Making of a Nation | Acts 17:24–26
Jun 1601:02:29Tap to summarizeIn 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.”
Transcribe →The Refreshing Mercies of Heaven | 2 Corinthians 13:11-14
Jun 801:06:44Tap to summarizeIn 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.

Transcribe →An Eternal Examination | 2 Corinthians 13:5–10
Jun 200:56:29Tap to summarizeWhat 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. This sermon was preached at Reformation Baptist Church in Central Alabama by Pastor Brandon Scroggins.
