Brian G. Hedges reflects on Mark 15, leading listeners into the drama of Jesus’ crucifixion as the King who willingly takes our place in judgment, bearing God’s wrath for sin so that we might be forgiven and reconciled to God. He emphasizes the doctrines of substitution, propitiation (Christ bearing divine judgment on our behalf), and the inclusive welcome of outsiders — from Gentile soldiers to marginalized witnesses — into God’s kingdom through the crucified and risen Lord. Pastor Brian focuses on these key truths:(6:06) 1. We witness a great exchange: substitution(12:01) 2. We hear a cry in the darkness: propitiation(21:21) 3.

This sermon focuses on Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem (Mark 11:1–21) as the moment when the promised King arrives to fulfill God’s ancient kingdom hopes, yet in a way that surprises expectations with humility and grace. Brian Hedges explains the need for a true king, the humble character of Jesus’ kingship, and how Jesus confronts brokenness with both righteous judgment and self-giving love, pointing us to the cross and the gospel. Ultimately, the message calls us to trust, follow, and surrender to Jesus’ reign in their own lives.(6:00) 1. The Need for a King(12:35) 2. The Humility of the King(18:58) 3.

Brian Hedges explores the spiritual practices of solitude and silence as foundational practices for a flourishing Christian life, calling believers to withdraw from distraction and be alone with God for rest, self-knowledge, and deeper communion. Drawing on Psalm 62 and other Scriptures, he illustrates how silence before the Lord fosters dependence on God rather than the world’s definitions of success, while also showing how Jesus habitually withdrew into quiet places to pray. Pastor Brian then offers practical guidance for integrating daily and extended practices of retreat, silence, and solitude into one’s spiritual rhythm so that the heart can be quiet before God and prepared for life’s challenges.

In this message, Brian Hedges takes us to Psalm 103 and explores the spiritual practice of soliloquy, or sanctified self-talk, teaching believers how to intentionally speak God’s truth to their own souls in daily life rather than defaulting to habitual, unexamined thoughts. Drawing on Scripture and examples from Christians throughout history, he shows how healthy soul-talk combats “gospel amnesia,” reshapes how we view ourselves, the world, and God, and strengthens our spiritual formation. Finally, Brian offers practical guidance for cultivating this discipline so that our inner monologue aligns with God’s truth and grace. His sermon is structured like this:(8:46) 1. Definition(15:21) 2. Illustrations(20:04) 3. What Does This Look Like?(34:07) 4.

This sermon touches on the spiritual discipline of confession as an ongoing practice that helps believers live out repentance and draw near to God, rooted in the honest self-examination found in Psalm 38. Brian Hedges explains that confession involves confronting sin, acknowledging it before God (and sometimes others), and turning from it in genuine repentance rather than vague generalities. He also highlights how true confession leads to restoration, cleansing, and renewed fellowship with God through the gospel and Christ’s atoning work. Outline:(7:10) 1. The Problem of Sin(16:23) 2.

In this sermon, Brian G. Hedges explores the spiritual discipline of contemplation, defined as the soul’s deep “gaze on the beauty and glory of God,” as illustrated in Psalms 27 and 63. He argues that contemplation reorients the believer’s heart toward communion with God beyond mere activity or duty. He explains why this practice is essential: for inner transformation into Christlikeness, for deep spiritual satisfaction, and as preparation for the vision of God for eternity. Finally, he offers practical guidance on how to cultivate contemplation through desire, intention, focused attention, adoration, perseverance, and dependence on the Spirit — inviting listeners to incorporate this practice into their daily walk with God. Outline:(9:05) 1. What Is Contemplation?(22:00) 2. Why Do We Need It?(29:28) 3. How Do We Practice It?

Psalm 86 calls believers to practice spiritual “recollection” — a disciplined, honest self-examination before God that gathers the fragments of our hearts and souls into wholeness. Brian Hedges shows how, through honesty about our needs and trust in God’s mercy, we can reorient from distraction, disorientation, and fragmentation toward clarity, unity, and intimacy with God. This message encourages regular reflection and soul-reconciling prayer so that our inner lives become grounded, integrated, and alive in God. Brian explores three main points:(6:18) 1. The Need: To Know God and the Self(12:45) 2. The Problem: Obstacles to this Knowing(27:44) 3.

His sermon challenges believers to move beyond mere activity and busyness toward a disciplined, joy-filled way of life grounded in the Word of God.

Finally, he challenges you to prioritize the gospel in teaching and living—urging a focus on what is of “first importance” so that we are ready to live, suffer, and proclaim for the sake of Christ. Outline: (7:29) 1.
