Come To The Sacrifice Podcast by Brock Jones

Host Brock Jones opens Matthew 5:6 and challenges listeners to examine whether they are truly hungry for God or merely going through religious motions. He explains that spiritual hunger shows life, directs us toward Christ's righteousness instead of worldly substitutes, and carries God's promise: the hungry shall be filled. The episode encourages honest self-examination, seeking God in dry seasons...

Host Brock Jones walks through Luke 24:13–32, retelling how Jesus joined two discouraged disciples, opened the Scriptures, and revealed himself so their hearts began to burn. The episode draws out how the cross and resurrection fulfill Old Testament promises, challenges listeners to let Scripture renew their understanding of Christ, and urges a return to the Word for renewed faith and hope.

Host Brock Jones warns against settling for comfort instead of following God’s full calling, using the example of the tribes who remained east of the Jordan. He challenges listeners to press forward in faith, embrace their identity as children and heirs of God, and refuse the trap of “good enough.” This episode blends biblical teaching with practical encouragement to examine where you’ve stopped s...

In this episode Brock Jones unpacks Joshua 1—calling listeners to stop living in yesterday's victories and to step forward in faith.

Through reflections on the Jordan, Jericho, and the resurrection, Brock encourages listeners to follow Christ boldly, knowing G...

In this episode host Brock Jones walks through Exodus 16, showing how the Israelites' hunger in the wilderness exposed their lingering dependence on Egypt and taught them to trust God for daily provision. It explains how the manna points forward to Jesus as the true Bread of Life and encourages listeners to rely on Christ’s ongoing sufficiency rather than returning to familiar bondage.

Pastor Brock Jones examines Exodus 13–14, showing how Israel was delivered from Egypt yet faced an impossible barrier at the Red Sea while Pharaoh pursued them.

Host Brock Jones walks through Exodus 12 and the night of the Passover, explaining how God provided a spotless lamb as a substitute to save Israel and how that image points directly to Jesus Christ and his atoning work on the cross. The episode connects the blood on the doorposts to the finished work of Christ, emphasizes substitutionary atonement, and shows how the law of the Spirit of life in Ch...

Host Brock Jones examines Exodus and Romans to show that hearing God’s promise of freedom can make bondage seem stronger, but resistance does not cancel deliverance. The episode explains that deliverance rests on what Christ accomplished, not on our strength, and that the Holy Spirit empowers believers to live out that freedom. Listeners are encouraged to reckon themselves dead to sin, rely on the...

This episode answers what a Christian should do when a defeated sin regains control. Drawing on Romans 6:6–14 and Romans 8, it explains that the "old self" was crucified with Christ, sin's dominion was broken, and believers are commanded to "reckon" themselves dead to sin and alive to God. It emphasizes dependence on the Holy Spirit to make Christ’s victory effective in daily struggles and gives p...

In this final episode of the series, host Brock Jones reviews Celebrate Recovery with both fairness and critique, acknowledging its biblical elements but arguing the program often makes human processes foundational instead of Christ's finished work. The episode urges churches to return to the cross, teach union with Christ, rely on the Holy Spirit for sanctification, and offer real discipleship an...

Host Brock Jones examines Celebrate Recovery’s “Victory” lesson and contrasts its process-focused approach with the New Testament message that victory over sin is rooted in Christ’s finished work at the cross. The episode walks through Romans and other Scriptures to show that transformation begins with knowing what Christ has accomplished, relies on the Holy Spirit’s power to mortify sin, and is l...

In this episode Brock Jones examines Celebrate Recovery’s “Ready” and “Victory” lessons and asks whether their recovery model matches the New Testament pattern of sanctification. He argues that true transformation begins with Christ’s finished work—our union with Jesus in the cross and resurrection—then the Holy Spirit produces progressive change, not a step-by-step self-repair process. The episod...

In this episode host Brock Jones examines whether confession itself breaks the chains of sin as Celebrate Recovery claims or if Scripture attributes true freedom to Christ, the cross, and the work of the Holy Spirit. He carefully studies Psalm 107, James 5, 1 John 1, and Romans to determine the biblical function of confession. Conclusion: confession, accountability, and prayer are vital responses,...

Host Brock Jones examines Celebrate Recovery step-by-step, testing its teachings against Scripture and the apostolic doctrine of sanctification. He asks whether practices like daily recommitment, sponsors, and moral inventories are given theological roles that belong to Christ and the Holy Spirit. Drawing on Romans 6–8 and other passages, the episode distinguishes biblical practices from the bibli...

This episode argues that the true foundation for recovery is not a sequence of steps or human effort but what God has already accomplished in Jesus Christ and the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit. Drawing from Romans 6–8, it explains union with Christ, the indwelling Spirit, and how sanctification flows from that reality. The host Brock Jones contrasts helpful recovery practices (confession, accoun...

This episode examines Celebrate Recovery alongside Romans 7–8, asking whether recovery methods point believers to the true source of spiritual freedom. It argues that human effort, steps, and inventories cannot produce the power to overcome sin; that power comes from union with Christ, his work on the cross, and the Holy Spirit. The host Brock Jones explains the biblical order — union with Christ,...

This episode examines Celebrate Recovery’s use of the Beatitudes and its sequential recovery process, asking whether the curriculum’s lessons, steps, and exercises function as the means of Christian freedom. Using Romans 6 as the primary counterpoint, the host Brock Jones argues that biblical freedom is grounded in union with Christ and his finished work, not produced by human steps, and previews...

In this episode Brock Jones examines Matthew 5:5 (“Blessed are the meek…”) with its background in Psalm 37 and compares Jesus’ meaning to how Celebrate Recovery applies the verse as a recovery principle. He contrasts the Beatitudes’ context with Paul's order in Romans—indicative (what Christ has done), reckoning by faith, then obedient living by the Spirit—and questions whether recovery steps shou...

Host Brock Jones continues a series evaluating Celebrate Recovery, asking whether its eight principles truly arise from Scripture. The episode analyzes Matthew 5:4 and the Beatitudes, contrasts exegesis with associating verses to preexisting recovery steps, and examines Philippians 2:12–13 to highlight union with Christ and the Spirit as the biblical basis for sanctification rather than a human-de...

In this episode Brock Jones begins a careful, fair series examining the Celebrate Recovery movement — not to attack people who’ve been helped, but to test the movement’s theology and use of Scripture. The focus is hermeneutical: does the recovery structure actually come from the biblical text or has scripture been fitted around an existing program? The episode opens with a review of Romans 6–8 and...

In this final episode of the Romans 6–8 series, host Brock Jones unpacks Romans 8:9–13, showing how the believer's union with Christ and the indwelling Holy Spirit provide the power for progressive sanctification. Rather than relying on self-effort or legalism, Christians are called to reckon themselves dead to sin and, through the Spirit, put sinful deeds to death so they can live. Jones emphasiz...

In this episode Brock Jones walks through Romans 8:5–9, explaining the difference between the mind governed by the flesh and the mind governed by the Spirit. He emphasizes that sanctification comes not from self-effort or religious activity but from the Holy Spirit working through the finished work of Christ. Jones offers practical application and reflection questions to help listeners examine whe...

Pastor Travis Deer joins the Come to the Sacrifice podcast to preach on the biblical reality of hell, using the example of the rich man and Lazarus to explain its misery, permanence, and the absence of God’s presence. The episode calls listeners to urgent repentance, stresses the duty to share the gospel, and offers a clear invitation to receive Jesus as the only way of escape.

Host Brock Jones continues the Romans 6–8 series, focusing on Romans 8:3–4 to show how God, through Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, accomplished what the law and human effort could not: condemning sin in the flesh and bringing life and righteousness into believers. The episode contrasts law-based self-effort with Spirit-led transformation, urging listeners to depend on Christ’s finished work rat...

In this episode we arrive at Romans 8 and hear Paul’s answer to the exhausted cry of Romans 7: freedom is not achieved by stronger will or stricter law, but by union with Christ and the work of the Holy Spirit. Focusing on Romans 8:1–2, the message explains “no condemnation” and “the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus,” showing how the Spirit makes Christ’s death and resurrection experienti...
