Genesis: Lots Vexed Soul

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?

Remember and Obey: Statues and Judgements to Observe Part 2

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.

Genesis: God’s Promise and Abraham’s Request

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.

Remember and Obey: Statues and Judgements to Observe Part 1

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.

Remember and Obey: Blessings tied to Obedience

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.

Remember and Obey: The Admonition to Protect the heart

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.

Genesis: Helping God with His Plan

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.

Remember and Obey: God's Blessing, Israel's Reward

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.

Remember and Obey: A Greater Knowledge of God Demands A Greater Love for God

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.
