Salt City Church

In this message, Pastor Brandon teaches that the Christian life is not about trying harder but walking closely with the Holy Spirit. From Galatians 5:16–25, he shows that every believer lives in a daily tension between the flesh and the Spirit—and what grows in our lives reveals who is leading us. The “works of the flesh” are self-produced and lead to division, impurity, and broken relationships....

In this message, Pastor Brandon explains what it means to live under the influence of the Holy Spirit. To be “filled” is not a one-time event, but an ongoing reality of being shaped, empowered, and led by Him in everyday life. He unpacks three key dimensions: The State — a life consistently formed by the Spirit, where the character of Jesus is evident (like Stephen and Barnabas). The Surge — momen...

Series: The Gift and The Giver — Week 1 | Text: John 14:15–18, 26 In this message, Pastor Brandon introduces the Holy Spirit not as a force to use, but as a Person to know. Jesus promises “another Helper” of the same kind—showing that the Holy Spirit is just like Him in nature, presence, and purpose. What the disciples experienced with Jesus beside them, believers now experience with the Spirit wi...

In this message, Pastor Brandon walks through John 20 to show that the resurrection of Jesus is not just a belief—it is evidence that demands a response. From the undisturbed grave clothes to the testimony of the angels and the personal encounter with the risen Christ, every detail points to one undeniable truth: Jesus is alive. What appeared confusing at first becomes clear upon closer examinatio...

In this message, Pastor Brandon walks through Isaiah 53 to reveal that Jesus’ suffering was not random—it was intentional and redemptive. Though He was overlooked and rejected, Jesus willingly stepped into our place, carrying the full weight of our sin, grief, and brokenness. What people misjudged as punishment was actually substitution—He was pierced for our rebellion and crushed for the deep, cr...

In this message, Pastor Brandon unpacks the beauty and weight of the gospel through 2 Corinthians 5, showing that before reconciliation, humanity was deeply broken and separated from God because of sin. Yet instead of leaving us in that condition, God Himself took the initiative—through the death of Jesus—to restore what was shattered, bringing enemies back into relationship as sons and daughters....

Mended Series — Week 2: I Didn’t See That Coming — But God Did In week two of the Mended series, Pastor Brandon explores one of the deepest wounds people experience—betrayal. Drawing from the story of David and Ahithophel in 2 Samuel, the message shows how unhealed wounds can quietly grow into bitterness that eventually harms others. Betrayal cuts deeply because it comes from someone we trusted, o...

In this message, Pastor Brandon reframes forgiveness through a biblical lens, confronting the ways it is often misunderstood, misused, and even weaponized. Rooted in Matthew 18:21-35, he shows that true forgiveness begins with God—not culture—and flows from recognizing our own unpayable debt that Christ has fully absorbed at the cross. Forgiveness has no ceiling, is both free and costly, and canno...

In the opening message of the Mended series, Pastor Brandon speaks to the hidden reality that many believers faithfully love and serve Jesus while still carrying deep wounds from loss, betrayal, disappointment, and church hurt. Isaiah 61 reveals that Jesus was anointed specifically to bind up the brokenhearted, and this sermon unpacks what that truly means. A broken heart in Scripture is a shatter...

Series: True Worship | Luke 16:1–13 | Pastor B In this message, Pastor B shows that worship is revealed in how we steward what God has placed in our hands. Through Jesus’ parable, we learn that stewardship is strategic, faithful, and ultimately settles who is Lord of our lives. Our daily decisions with time, money, and influence aren’t just practical—they’re spiritual, pointing to what we truly tr...

In this message, Pastor Brandon calls the church to move beyond comfortable, preference-driven worship and rediscover the rich, biblical expressions of praise seen in the Hebrew Scriptures. Exploring yadah, halal, zamar, towdah, and tehillah, he shows that praise is not a small part of worship—it is worship, engaging both heart and body in response to who God is and what He has done. From lifted h...

In this message, Pastor Brandon challenges the idea that worship is limited to a Sunday gathering and calls believers to a daily, whole-life response to God’s mercy. Rooted in Romans 12:1–2 and Hebrews 13:15–16, the sermon shows that true worship flows from what God has already done for us in Christ and is expressed by offering our lives as living sacrifices. Worship goes beyond songs and emotions...

Week 3 of our True Worship Is… Sermon Series Pastor B | Genesis 22:1–19 What would God have to ask you to give up before you’d say no? In this powerful message, Pastor B walks through Abraham’s ultimate test on Mount Moriah and reveals a defining truth: true worship is loving God more than everything else—even when it costs us everything. As we trace Abraham’s journey with Isaac, you’ll see how Go...

In this message from Exodus 20:7, Pastor B unpacks the deeper meaning of the command, “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain.” This isn’t just about careless words—it’s about carrying God’s name and representing His character in the world. Drawing from the role of the high priest and the call of Israel to be a “kingdom of priests,” Pastor B shows that God’s people were always me...

New Sermon Series: True Worship Is… Brandon, Lead Pastor | Exodus 20:1–6 What are you really living for—and what is shaping you? In Part 1 of our new series True Worship Is…, Pastor B opens Exodus 20:1–6 to reveal a foundational truth: true worship is exclusive to God. Drawing from Scripture, personal story, and the first commandment, this message exposes how idols subtly capture our hearts, how w...

In this message, Guest Preacher Jacob Garcia (Church Planter) invites us to wrestle with a searching question: Why do you follow Me? As Jesus uses physical language to reveal spiritual truth, many of His disciples are confronted with a hard saying and choose to walk away. Jacob contrasts a faith shaped by convenience with a faith shaped by the cross, reminding us that we must decide whether we wil...

In this message by Pastor B, we explore what happens when God interrupts the plans we carefully construct in Luke 1. Using Mary’s encounter with the angel Gabriel, the sermon shows that divine disruption is often the doorway to divine purpose. Mary wasn’t seeking a miracle, yet God interrupted her ordinary plans to invite her into an extraordinary role in His redemptive story. We see a clear patte...

In this message from Pastor B on Psalm 98, we are reminded that when God delivers a decisive, miraculous victory, silence is not an option. Just as a championship win erupts in uncontrollable celebration, God’s salvation demands a joyful, visible response. Psalm 98 declares that the Lord Himself worked salvation by His own power—His “right hand and holy arm.” When no one else could rescue humanity...

In this message, Pastor Brandon walks through Matthew 2 and asks a searching question every person must answer: How do we respond to King Jesus? The passage reveals three responses that still mirror every human heart today. The Magi respond with worship, humbly seeking Jesus and offering their lives in surrender. Herod responds with resistance, threatened by a King he cannot control and clinging t...

1 Corinthians 13:1–13 — “The Most Important Thing” Guest preacher Jonathan Brooks unpacks Paul’s message in 1 Corinthians 13, reminding us that no matter how gifted, knowledgeable, or sacrificial we are, ministry without love amounts to nothing. True maturity isn’t marked by talent—it’s marked by a growing love for God, for His people, and for the lost. Jonathan walks through the character of bibl...

Strength for the Weary- Isaiah 40:27–31 We all hit seasons where weariness feels overwhelming—when life is heavy, progress feels slow, and God feels distant. That’s exactly where Israel was in Isaiah 40, convinced that God had forgotten them. But God meets them—and us—with a powerful reminder: He is the Everlasting God. He never sleeps, never weakens, and never stops working. His strength never ru...

In Church Discipline with Grace (Titus 3:9–11), Pastor Brandon reminded us that a healthy church protects unity by confronting division with grace. Paul warned Titus to avoid foolish debates and unprofitable arguments that distract from Christ and divide the body. When foolishness turns into division, leaders must graciously correct, not coddle. Paul instructed Titus to warn a divisive person twic...

In When Grace Goes Public – Part 3 (Titus 3:6–8), Pastor Brandon reminded us that when grace truly takes root, it transforms us from the inside out. We’re not just forgiven—we’re filled, justified, and adopted into God’s family so we can live as living proof of His goodness. God didn’t save us to survive on drops of grace—He poured out His Spirit abundantly, like a waterfall. Through that Spirit,...
