In 2005, world champion bull rider Justin McBride heard seven words from his friend JW Hart just before the gate opened: "Whatever you do, just don't let go." Those words became the title of a song and serve as a fitting illustration of the Christian life.In this message we look at  Hebrews 10:19–25, and we discover that believers are called to hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, not because we are strong, but because He who promised is faithful. Together we'll explore what it means to draw near to God with confidence, cling to His promises through every trial, and encourage one another to remain steadfast until Christ returns.No matter what you're facing today, this passage reminds us of one simple truth: Whatever you do... just don't let go.Send us Fan Mail Support the show

In this message, we explore what it means to serve Christ with our whole heart through the lens of Colossians 3:23. Together we'll look at Jesus' teaching in Matthew 6 about where our treasure truly is, examine the Parable of the Talents, and challenge ourselves to consider whether we're giving Christ our best—or simply what's left over.Following Jesus was never meant to be a half-hearted pursuit. God has entrusted each of us with time, abilities, resources, and opportunities for His kingdom. The question isn't how much we've been given, but what we're doing with what He has placed in our hands.Whether it's your faith, your work, your family, or your calling, this message is a challenge to live with wholehearted devotion and to give everything you've got for the One who gave everything for you.Send us Fan Mail Support the show

We are beginning a brand-new study through the book of Acts. Before we jump into chapter 1, though, I want to spend some time looking back at the events that took place after Jesus' resurrection. We'll revisit the last part of Luke 24, John chapters 20 and 21, and then work our way into Acts chapter 1.As we do, we'll see Jesus appear to His disciples, give His final instructions, restore Peter, commission His followers, ascend back to the Father, and prepare them for what would soon happen on the Day of Pentecost. Understanding these events gives us the foundation for everything that follows in the book of Acts.Send us Fan Mail Support the show

In the final part of our study through the Sermon on the Mount, we conclude Jesus' greatest recorded sermon by examining Matthew 6:16 through 7:28.Jesus calls His followers to seek the Kingdom of God above earthly treasures, trust the Father instead of worrying, judge with humility, discern truth from error, and build their lives on the solid foundation of obedience to the Word of God. As the sermon comes to a close, the crowds are left astonished—not only by what Jesus taught, but by the authority with which He taught it.Join me as we finish our verse-by-verse study of one of the most influential sermons ever preached and discover why its message is just as relevant today as it was two thousand years ago.The Rocky Brown Podcast—Biblical teaching for everyday life.Send us Fan Mail Support the show

In Part 1, we examined the events leading up to the Sermon on the Mount and Jesus' opening words to His disciples. In this episode, we continue through Matthew 5 and into chapter 6 as Jesus addresses the Law, righteousness, prayer, fasting, and the condition of the human heart.Again and again, Jesus exposes the difference between outward religion and genuine obedience to God. His message challenges not only what we do, but why we do it.Join me as we continue our verse-by-verse study of one of the most important sermons ever preached.Send us Fan Mail Support the show

Before Jesus preached the Sermon on the Mount, there was a path that led to it.In this episode, we examine Matthew chapters 3 and 4—the preparation, testing, and early ministry of Jesus that set the stage for one of the most important sermons ever preached. From the ministry of John the Baptist, to the baptism of Jesus, to His temptation in the wilderness and the calling of His first disciples, every event points to the authority and mission of Christ.The Sermon on the Mount did not appear in a vacuum. Understanding what happened before Jesus opened His mouth to teach helps us better understand the message He delivered.Join me as we begin a verse-by-verse journey through the Sermon on the Mount by first exploring the foundation upon which it was built.The Rocky Brown Podcast—Biblical teaching for everyday life.Send us Fan Mail Support the show

“‘Jesus, You’re all I need.’ It sounds spiritual. It sounds passionate. It sounds worshipful. But have we stopped to ask whether modern Christianity has become so centered on Jesus in isolation that many believers barely acknowledge the Father or the Holy Spirit anymore?The Bible does not reveal a disconnected Christ detached from the Father and the Spirit. Scripture reveals that  Father, Son, and Holy Spirit —work together in perfect unity through creation, redemption, salvation, sanctification and everyday life.Yet much of modern worship language has reduced Christianity into a Jesus-only emotional experience while neglecting the fullness of what Scripture actually teaches about the matter.In this message, we’re going to examine whether some of the phrases we sing, say and repeat are biblically accurate, or whether emotion has replaced scriptural precision. Because true worship is not built merely on what feels powerful — it is built on truth.” What feels powerful isn’t always true and what is true doesn’t always feel powerful.Send us Fan Mail Support the show

After one of the greatest victories of his life, Elijah ran.Not toward celebration.Not in confidence.But by fear into exhaustion, isolation, and despair.How does a man who just called down fire from heaven suddenly find himself hiding in a cave?And what do we do when fear, pressure, disappointment, or spiritual exhaustion make us want to run too?In this message we are going to walk through Elijah’s flight from Jezebel and the powerful moment when God met him in the wilderness.Because sometimes the greatest danger is not the battle in front of us…but what happens inside us after the battle is over.Will you run from fear?Will you run from God?Or will you run to Him?Send us Fan Mail Support the show

If tomorrow the governments of the world stood before cameras and presented undeniable evidence of extraterrestrial life, it would not erase Genesis. It would not dethrone Jesus Christ. It would not invalidate the cross. And it would not change the reality that salvation is found in Christ alone.The Bible has already withstood kingdoms, empires, philosophers, skeptics, dictators, revolutions, and centuries of attacks — and it still stands. And it always will!In this message we are going to examine this issue carefully and biblically. Not through panic. Not through conspiracy. Not through science fiction. But through the lens of Scripture.We’re going to talk about:why many people believe alien disclosure would destroy Christianity,whether the Bible leaves room for life beyond earth,how believers should respond to fear and speculation,and why the existence of any created being — earthly or otherwise — would still point back to a Creator.Because at the center of this conversation is not aliens. It’s Jesus.And no matter what humanity discovers in the heavens, the truth remains: Jesus Christ is still the Son of God!Send us Fan Mail Support the show

It’s a name that gets thrown around a lot—used in sermons, used to label people, even used to explain problems in the church.But here’s the question: Is any of that actually biblical?In this episode, we’re putting that teaching under the authority of Scripture—not tradition, not assumption, not popular opinion.We’re going to walk through every Old Testament passage about Queen Jezebel, then go straight into Revelation chapter 2 and examine what Jesus actually says—down to the Greek—because He doesn’t speak in confusion.And we’re going to deal with this directly: Does the Bible teach a “Jezebel spirit”… or has something been added to the text?Send us Fan Mail Support the show

Nearly 2,000 years ago, something happened that changed everything—Jesus rose from the dead.In this episode, we walk through the events of that day and examine what Scripture reveals about the resurrection. Not just what happened, but what it means for us now.If Jesus is alive, then everything is different. The question is—do we truly understand what that means?Send us Fan Mail Support the show

From the garden of Gethsemane… to the false accusations before the council… to the scourging… to the cross…This episode walks through the suffering of the Lord Jesus—not as a distant story, but as a living revelation of what forgiveness truly cost.There was a sound that echoed through it all.The sound of the hammer striking the nails that were driven into His hands and His feet.And in the midst of that suffering, Jesus did not respond with anger, accusation, or retaliation… He responded with forgiveness.“Father, forgive them…”What does forgiveness actually sound like? Send us Fan Mail Support the show

Where is Jesus the Healer today—and does Jesus still heal? What if what you believe about healing is the very thing holding you back from receiving it?This is Where Is Jesus the Healer—a fifteen-part series of in-depth, biblical teaching on God’s willingness to heal.In this episode, all fifteen parts are brought together into one comprehensive message.This is not surface-level teaching. It is a clear and thorough look at what the Bible says about healing, how faith works in receiving it, and how to understand the ministry of Jesus Christ as Healer.This series will challenge what you believe, strengthen your faith, and help you see the compassion, power, and truth of God’s Word more clearly.While this series is designed to be heard in order—because each part builds on the last—timestamps are included so you can return to specific sections as needed.My prayer is that as you listen, your faith is strengthened, your understanding is deepened, and your eyes are opened to see God the Father, the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit more clearly—and to encounter Jesus as Healer.⏱️ Series BreakdownPt. 1 — Is it God’s Will to Heal?

What happens when believers turn against one another—and what does the Bible say about it?“Blue on blue” is a term used to describe friendly fire—when those on the same side end up fighting each other. While it comes from a military context, the reality is this: we often see the same thing happening within the church today.Ministers attacking ministers. Churches divided against churches. Believers turning against one another.But what does Scripture say about this?In this episode, we take a clear, biblical look at conflict within the body of Christ—what causes it, how it should be handled, and how we are called to respond as followers of Jesus.If this message helps you, consider sharing it with someone who needs to hear it.Send us Fan Mail Support the show

In Scripture, we see that God has established order, instruction, and ways in which His people are to live—yet He also calls us into a true relationship with Him.In our time, it’s common to hear phrases like “it’s about relationship, not religion” or “Jesus hates religion,” often used to distance from hypocrisy or outward forms of faith.But what happens when we examine these ideas in light of Scripture?Could it be that we misunderstand both religion and relationship—and how they are meant to function together according to God’s Word?Let’s take a clear and honest look at what the Bible actually says.Send us Fan Mail Support the show

Healing is a fantastic thing, and thank God for it, but ultimately to live a life of health is Gods best for us.

One of the greatest misconceptions there is in the church is that there were not multiple means and methods by which healing was distributed in the ministry of the Lord Jesus. It would seem that many have the thought that He just spoke or waived His hand and that’s how everyone was healed, but the truth is there are several different ways that Jesus healed people in the gospels. In this message we will endeavor to look at the different ways healing came forth from God through the Lord Jesus. What does the Bible say about all of this? Let's find out!Send us Fan Mail Support the show

One of the paramount things that we should understand about our faith is how important it can be in others receiving the healing or the assistance they need from the Lord. Many times throughout the course of life our faith can turn the tide of situations for others that we join with and pray for. As we will see in texts we analyze today, healing can be distributed and received based solely on the faith of others or in cooperation with others. What does the bible say about the matter?Let's find out!Send us Fan Mail Support the show

Amongst circles of those who teach on the topic of divine healing, the message is taught and preached that Jesus was scourged to "pay" for our physical healing, but is this right in the light of the scripture?

One popular belief in some circles of the church is that all sicknesses are a result of either sin in the life of the person, or because of some form of demonic possession.

It is in the study of the nature of God the Father that we increase our understanding and faith in the Lord’s willingness to forgive the sinner, to heal the sick, and to provide abundantly for all who will believe in Him. One paramount reason we must study the nature of God the Father is for us to come a better understanding of how Father, Son, and Holy Spirit work together in the life of every person. It is to be regretted that the focus of the church is almost totally directed toward the Lord Jesus, and little if any of the church’s attention goes toward Father or the Holy Spirit. Get a notebook, get your bible and let’s see what scripture says and does not say about the matter!Where is Jesus The Healer series Part 2Send us Fan Mail Support the show
