Brooklife Podcast

It's Thanksgiving at Brooklife family style! Key Verse: Ephesians 4:32 Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

Have you ever felt lost when it comes to God? I’m guessing you have, because we all have. The good news is that even when we feel lost, God is always lovingly pursuing us. And once we are found, He invites us to join the search team.

We have been praying and talking to God during the Beyond series, and on Sunday, we finally get to take a step of faith together! It's going to be an incredible Sunday as we go into BEYOND with God. Key Verse: Hebrews 11:39 These were all commended for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised.

As we explore what it means to have the faith to follow God into the Beyond, we deal with one of the realities that we all deal with: doubts. What do I do with my doubts? Can God use me if I doubt myself, the situation and Him? It’s going to be great to talk about it with you this Sunday at 8:45 or 10:30am. Key Verse: Joshua 6:12 When the angel of the LORD appeared to Gideon, he said, “The LORD is...

We’re talking about the most unlikely person to be on the Hall of Fame of Faith list, but she has faith like you wouldn’t believe. You’ve just go to hear her story of how she followed God into the Beyond! Key Verse: Hebrews 11:31 By faith the prostitute Rahab, because she welcomed the spies, was not killed with those who were disobedient.

We keep following God into Beyond Faith by looking at one of the most famous people in all of Scripture, Noah. He had faith to build an ark! The story everyone's heard has, at its heart, a kind of faith that should inspire us all.  Key Verse: Hebrews 11:7 By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in holy fear built an ark to save his family. By his faith he condemned the world and beca...

Let's learn more about the kind of Faith that lands you in the God’s Hall of Faith as well as learn more about where God is leading us…into the Beyond! Key Verse: Hebrews 11:4 By faith Abel offered God a better sacrifice than Cain did. By faith he was commended as a righteous man, when God spoke well of his offerings. And by faith he still speaks, even though he is dead.

Today is Dream Sunday! We have been dreaming, preparing, and praying for a couple of years, and we are so excited to share with you how God has been moving in our hearts and where He is leading us these next years.

David ended his song with a bang! He has already taught us so much, but he’s still got a bit more for us this Sunday. Key Verse: Psalm 18:49 Therefore I will praise you among the nations, O LORD; I will sing praises to your name.

We continue to be inspired by David’s song, but there’s a huge obstacle that’s going to come up in the middle of it. It’s something that has kept many from embracing God or at least the God of the Old Testament: God commanding the destruction of people. How can a good God do that? How can David sing a song celebrating that fact? Key Verse: Psalm 18:30 As for God, his way is perfect; the word of th...

We look into a confusing claim David makes about himself. He claims to have always done what is right, when everyone knows he blew it in such a major way with that whole Bathsheba situation. Has David forgotten in his old age what he did? Is he rewriting history to his own liking? Or is there something way more beautiful and hopeful going on? Key Verse: Psalm 18:28 You, O LORD, keep my lamp burnin...

We continue where we left off form last week to feel what it's like to have God come to your rescue. Key Verse: Psalm 18:19 He brought me out into a spacious place; he rescued me because he delighted in me.

This series will invite you to reflect on your personal story with God, celebrating the moments where His faithfulness has shone through in your life. Drawing inspiration from David's heartfelt words in Psalm 18, we'll discover how remembering God's past provisions can fuel our trust for the future. This series will offer a chance to pause and recognize the countless ways God has shown up for you....

We wrap up the series, Life of the Party, with the most fun party Israel got to celebrate: the Feast of Tabernacles. Sound like an incredible party, doesn’t it? (That’s sarcasm!) The truth is that once you understand what this party is all about, you’ll understand why it’s the most fun. Key Verse: John 7:37 On the last and greatest day of the Feast, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “If anyone...

Sunday, we will learn from one of God’s parties called the Day of Atonement that no matter where you've been or what you've done, God offers a fresh start and a welcome home. Join us as we continue “Life of the Party” to explore how embracing God's love can bring healing, renewal, and life the way God intended it. Key Verse: Isaiah 53:5, 5 But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed...

So often, many of us live our lives with shame and regret over the choices we have made and the things we have done. We have a tendency to let those things create a barrier between us and God. But what if we could understand and accept that when we come to Him, because of His mercy, grace, compassion, and forgiveness, He is ready and eager to throw a party for you and celebrate that you are home?

We will be talking about the latest party that God had the nation of Israel throw! Key Verse: 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17, 16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds...

We’ve got another big party God threw for Israel! As usual, God wants Israel to celebrate because of the rest they find in Him and pay it forward a bit as well.  Key Verse: Leviticus 23:22 “ ‘When you reap the harvest of your land, do not reap to the very edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest. Leave them for the poor and the alien. I am the LORD your God.’ ”

The third celebration we are going to unpack flows directly out of the first two that we’ve studied. The Feast of Firstfruits is a celebration of God’s incredible provision to His people. It foreshadows the great provision God offers us through His son Jesus.

Let's dive into the second celebration God created for the Israelites. At first glance, it might seem a bit unusual, but once you understand its significance, it all makes sense: The Feast of Unleavened Bread.  Key Verse: John 6:35 Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty.

Join us this Sunday as we dive into Paul's powerful message to the Roman church. In a world often divided, Paul's words ring true today more than ever. This isn't just ancient wisdom - it's a roadmap for modern Christian living.

Many of us have this picture of God as a strict rule enforcer who’s all about limits and no fun. But what if I told you that couldn't be further from the truth? The God of the Bible is actually the ultimate Life of the Party! He’s the one who gave us a day of rest and commanded His people to celebrate – not just once, but at least seven times a year, for days on end! Key Verse: Matthew 11:28 “Come...

We wrap up the story of our Unacclaimed Hero Samuel. He’s been so impressive so far; how will his story end? What will his legacy be?  Key Verse: 1 Samuel 12:23 As for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the LORD by failing to pray for you. And I will teach you the way that is good and right.

We pick the story back up with our Unclaimed Hero who finally got acclaimed but now will have to learn to once again play second fiddle. How will that look? Why would he do it? Why should we be willing to do it?  Key Verse: 1 Samuel 8:7 And the LORD told him: “Listen to all that the people are saying to you; it is not you they have rejected, but they have rejected me as their king.

This part of our Unclaimed Hero Samuel pretty much tells itself! It’s a great story packed with all kinds of truths about doing life with God as one of His heroes.  Key Verse: 1 Samuel 7:15 Samuel continued as judge over Israel all the days of his life.
