Dream Church with Joshua Brown

In this Easter message Pastor Joshua Brown reflects on Luke 15 through the lens of two “prodigal sons”—one who runs from home in search of identity, and one who remains yet feels forgotten. Joshua explores how both sons reveal our spiritual journeys—whether we chase validation in the world or lose ourselves in doing for God while forgetting we are simply His. Ultimately, we are all called back to...

This sermon uses the story of Palm Sunday and the Old Testament prophet Malachi to challenge listeners to examine the quality of their offerings to God. It argues that many people offer God only what is convenient, rather than their whole lives, and calls for a shift from a superficial Christian image to a deep Christian belief that costs us everything. The central message is a call to love God wh...

In this powerful episode, we dive deep into the fiery message of the prophet Amos—a shepherd turned mouthpiece of God—who dared to confront injustice in the heart of God’s people. Justice, often dismissed as political, is shown to be a divine mandate, inseparable from love and true worship. We explore what it means to love our neighbor, stand with the oppressed, and let righteousness flow like a m...

Almost all of our anxieties come from uncertainty. The prophet often finds themselves in unclear conditions. However, they don't respond to questions with doubt; they respond to questions with curiosity.

A prophet feels what God feels about the present condition. Therefore, they can see beneath the surface and perceive where the story is heading if things don't change. Do you feel what God feels about what lies before you?

Three qualities make up a prophet: vision, obedience, and commitment. In this sermon, Joshua Brown walks through these qualities to show that all disciples are prophetic and why our world needs prophets now more than ever.

The pilgrimage of discipleship, ascending to where we belong (home), is a long obedience in the same direction.

We often hear the call to "take your cross and follow Jesus." But do we understand what that means? In this message, Joshua Brown will teach what it means to take up your cross and how the disciple of Jesus is continually being sanctified along the road of following.

What constitutes a calling from God? In this message, we'll explore what it means to be called and how calling is connected to discipleship.

Evan Rouleau preaches on single-minded obedience.

In his 1937 book The Cost of Discipleship , Dietrich Bonhoeffer wrote one of the most profound pieces of literature on grace. This sermon kicks off a series of sermons on the book. In this week's message, Joshua Brown teaches about cheap grace, why we have sold it to the masses, and how to return to costly grace.

In the final message of our sermons on The Priesthood of All Believers , we will study Ephesians 4:14-15 and learn to be deeply rooted in our call to follow Jesus—no longer being children tossed to and fro.

We are called to find security for our lives in God. Yet, we often find security in money. That's why Jesus teaches we cannot serve both. What should our relationship with money be, and how can it become a resource for our spiritual formation? Find out in this message.

What is the Church? That is the question we will ask and answer this week. In this sermon, you will learn what it means that the church is, as Paul Avis put it, a sacrament of salvation and why that is critical to who we, as a whole, are becoming.

All church members play an integral role in the body's calling. The church's calling is a calling of "us" and not "me." My calling is only relevant within the larger picture of our calling. Rather than asking, "What is my calling?" we should situate the question within the calling of the whole: "What is my place within our calling?" But, before we can know our place in the body, we must first repe...

We cannot attain peace on our own. Peace that can be overpowered by something more substantial than our will is not true peace. Peace comes from God. Therefore, fear stands in the way of living in the peace given to us. In this message, Joshua Brown teaches how the fear of the Lord removes the barrier of the fear of what we (think) we can control and, as a result, allows us to receive the peace of...

In Romans 8, Paul teaches us that hope is not seen. Yet we were saved "in hope," which means we were saved into anticipation for what we do not see. How can we, as people of God, live with patient endurance for what we do not see clearly (yet)? Find out in this week's message from Joshua Brown.

What does it mean that John's gospel calls Jesus the Logos (Word)? If Jesus is God's divine reasoning—the why behind all of creation—then the Incarnation means a lot more than we've ever imagined.

Wisdom is the framework for Scripture. According to John's gospel, scripture is filled with wise truth, which is Christ himself. Therefore, to receive wisdom is to accept the very person of Christ. Our culture has devalued instruction and wisdom, but we are being called to take it up again as essential.

Letting go is challenging but beautiful. It makes room for what we can become.

How can God be all-powerful and ultimately understand everything we feel and walk through? In other words, how can God weep with us over a loss when he has the power to prevent the loss from happening in the first place? In this message, Joshua Brown breaks down how both characteristics are true of God and how we must submit our view of time to a revelation of God's timelessness.

We live in the dichotomy of free grace and a call to lay down everything and follow Jesus. What does this mean, and how do we effectively live in the space in between? Find out in this week's message.

Your ability to persevere is connected to your belief in who you are to Him. When deeply rooted in the truth of who you are and who He is, you can thrive through the "night."

The final chapter of Isaiah begins with a question: What house are you building the Lord, and what is his resting place? In this message, Joshua Brown asks us this question and frames it within the vision of Proverbs 31:10-31.

We've heard our entire lives that we need to follow Jesus. We didn't understand that Jesus was leading us somewhere that is so counter to where we "think" he's leading us that it requires reformation on the level of thinking (or seeing) to follow him somewhere we didn't have the theology to go. The Jesus Way involves a yoke of teaching that is easy and light. This message...
