Come To The Sacrifice Podcast by Brock Jones

This episode explains Romans 6, emphasizing that believers are already united with Christ in his death, burial, and resurrection. It argues that sanctification is not repeatedly crucifying the flesh but progressively adjusting our minds and lives to the finished work of Christ, trusting the Holy Spirit to apply that reality. The host calls listeners to reckon these biblical truths as facts, live from their new identity in Christ, and depend on the Spirit to transform daily experience.

Brock Jones walks through Romans 6:8–13, explaining how believers are united to Christ in his death, burial, and resurrection and are called to "reckon" themselves dead to sin and alive to God. This episode grounds sanctification in the finished work of Christ and urges listeners to interpret experience through Scripture, not vice versa.

In this episode Brock Jones pauses in Romans 6 to explore the overlooked significance of Christ's burial — how burial confirms the reality and finality of death, marks the end of the old life in Adam, and prepares believers for resurrection life. He explains that sanctification begins with God's finished work in Christ, calling believers to respond by faith to their union with Christ and to walk in the newness of life rather than relying on self-improvement or rehabilitation of the old self.

In this episode Brock Jones continues his deep study of Romans 6–8, explaining Paul’s startling claim that believers "died to sin." He shows how union with Christ — not self-effort or programs — is the foundation for true freedom, baptism into Christ’s death, and walking in newness of life. Learn why identity in Christ always precedes practice, how the cross and resurrection change our legal standing before God, and how understanding this truth shifts us from striving to resting in grace.

In this episode Brock Jones begins a deep series on Romans, focusing on chapters 6–8 and the crucial truth of union with Christ. He contrasts Adam and Christ, explains that the gospel is more than forgiveness, and asks why believers still struggle—pointing to identity in Christ rather than self-effort as the foundation for holiness. The teaching sets up Paul’s famous question, “Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound?” and previews the answer found in Romans 6: that believers have died to sin. Future episodes will unpack what that union with Christ means for everyday victory and sanctification.

In this episode of Come to the Sacrifice, Brock Jones examines Numbers 13–14 to contrast the faith of Joshua and Caleb with the unbelief of the ten spies. He explains that biblical faith interprets circumstances through God’s revelation, remembers God’s past faithfulness, and flows from wholehearted devotion to the Lord. Brock applies these truths to modern trials, urging listeners to fix their eyes on Christ, trust God’s character above fear, and follow the Lord fully as they face their own giants.

This episode examines Hebrews 3–4, contrasting Israel's unbelief with the heroes of faith in Hebrews 11. Brock Jones warns against treating faith as a force and emphasizes that faith is a trusting response to God's revelation, leading to rest in Christ rather than reliance on circumstances.

In this episode Brock Jones explores Hebrews 11–12, using Moses as a central witness who valued the reproach of Christ more than Egypt's treasures and pointing out how Old Testament heroes direct our faith toward Jesus. He challenges listeners to evaluate what Christ is worth to them, to fix their eyes on Jesus, and to run the race of faith with endurance.

In this episode Brock Jones walks through Hebrews 11, showing how the Old Testament witnesses—Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Moses and others—illustrate true faith and all point forward to Jesus Christ as God’s provision and promise. The message calls believers to endurance: lay aside hindrances, run the race set before you, and keep looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith.

This episode explores Psalm 63 as Brock Jones walks through David's wilderness—his thirst for God, steadfast worship amid suffering, and trust in God's justice.

Listeners are encouraged to seek God in trials, understand the wilderness as God's classroom, and find that true satisfaction is found in God himself rather than in changing circumstances.

In this episode Brock Jones reflects on Exodus 15:22–26, showing how wilderness pressure exposes the heart and how God provides a remedy—symbolized by the tree that makes bitter water sweet. Using Scripture, personal testimony, and pastoral application, he explores murmuring versus prayer, the role of suffering in sanctification, and how Christ’s cross addresses the deeper problem of the heart.

Brock Jones unpacks Hebrews 10, showing how Christ's finished work is the covenantal cause and the Holy Spirit's inward work is the effect. He explains that "willful sin" in context means deliberate apostasy—turning away from Christ and returning to old systems or false remedies—and warns of its serious consequences. The episode also stresses proper interpretation (avoiding cultural baggage), the difference between positional and progressive sanctification, and urges listeners to cling to Christ as the only true source of forgiveness and change.

In this episode Brock Jones explains how Jesus' finished work at Calvary and his priesthood after the order of Melchizedek establish a legal new covenant that brings believers immediate access to God's promises. He contrasts the old covenant's external, conditional system with the new covenant's internal work of the Holy Spirit and examines Deuteronomy 28's blessings as they apply to Christians today. The practical takeaway: faith and obedient living empowered by the Spirit—not a license to sin—open believers to the blessings God commands and that will overtake them in Christ.

This episode asks how Jesus, born from the tribe of Judah, could legally serve as priest when priesthood belonged to Levi, and traces the answer through Numbers 18, King Uzziah, Psalm 110, Genesis 14, and Hebrews 7. It explains how Melchizedek’s priesthood precedes and supersedes the Levitical order, making Christ a superior, eternal priest whose sacrifice established the new covenant and gives believers legal boldness (parresia) to approach God.
