    In this Vision Sunday message, Joshua Brown reflects on Dream Church's journey and introduces a new season of clarity and formation. Drawing from the parable of the four soils in Matthew 13, he challenges the church to become “good soil” by removing distractions and intentionally embracing discipleship. The church's new vision centers on being deeply formed in the love of Jesus and the ways of His kingdom. With this, Dream Church is launching 21 days of prayer and a renewed discipleship pathway, shifting its focus from Sunday services to intentional spiritual formation.

    In this message, Pastor Joshua Brown invites us to confront the dull, directionless seasons of our spiritual lives by discovering the transformative power of a Rule of Life. Drawing from Acts 2:43–47 and personal experience, he unpacks how intentional rhythms—centered on Jesus—can bring clarity, freedom, and purpose. Whether you're stuck on spiritual autopilot or longing for deeper formation, this sermon offers a framework to help you live with vision and grace.

    Into the Silent Land: Prayer and Scripture

    In this sermon, Pastor Joshua Brown invites us to resist the modern urge to live as self-made gods and instead return to our true humanity through the practices of prayer and scripture. Using Psalm 27, he illustrates how we lose ourselves when we reject our limits and live without dependence on God. Prayer and scripture restore our awareness that God is God and we are not—anchoring us in humility, trust, and the larger story of grace.

    Rabbi Jesus and the Beatitudes

    Play Episode Listen Later May 5, 2025 69:46


    In this opening message of the Into the Silent Land series, Joshua Brown invites listeners to rediscover discipleship by seeing Jesus as Rabbi. Preaching from Matthew 5:1–12, he reframes the Beatitudes as a kingdom manifesto—revealing who God's reign is aimed at and how we, as disciples, are called to embody it. With a challenge to reject shallow belief and embrace deep formation, this sermon calls us to follow Jesus with our whole lives, bringing justice, mercy, and hope to the forgotten and oppressed.

    Resurrection Sunday - The Prodigal Son(s)

    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 the Father's embrace, where we are reminded: “You are my beloved; on you my favor rests.”

    Prophet: Malachi

    Play Episode Listen Later Apr 14, 2025 49:38


    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 wholly and live a life worthy of discipleship, reflecting Christ's journey from Palm Sunday to the resurrection.

    Prophet: Amos

    Play Episode Listen Later Apr 7, 2025 70:40


    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 mighty river. This is a call to the Church, not the world, to return to costly grace and the justice-centered heart of God.

    Prophet: Habakkuk

    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.

    Prophet: Jeremiah

    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?

    Prophet: Isaiah

    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 Cost of Discipleship: Long Obedience

    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.

    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.

    The Priesthood of All Believers: Deeply Rooted

    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.

    The Priesthood of All Believers: The Church as a Sacrament of Salvation

    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.

    The Priesthood of All Believers: Calling and Repentance

    Play Episode Listen Later Jan 6, 2025 64:48


    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 repent—change how we think—to place God back on the throne of our lives, which will affect every part of our being.

    Advent Week 2 - Peace

    Play Episode Listen Later Dec 16, 2024 41:02


    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 God fully.

    Advent Week 1 - Hope

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Follow Jesus

    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 explores where Jesus calls us and how we follow him there.

    A stained glass work of art comprises many broken pieces of glass. But, when put in the hands of master artists, these broken pieces are exactly what are needed for a beautiful work of art. What if you can't mess up the call of God for you? What if even your stumbling is being used for a beautiful picture of his faithfulness? Your purpose isn't contingent on you; your purpose is solely contingent on his faithfulness.

    Stretching

    A "new" wineskin can receive fresh wine and stretch and mature with it. An "old" wineskin will break when new wine is poured into it and starts stretching and maturing. Why? Because it lacks the trust that believes the stretching is for its good. When the Lord starts to give a fresh revelation of who he is, and who we are, it will reveal if we carry the trust to allow that revelation to mature IN us, or if we are so stuck on what is comfortable that it will break us and waste the wine. Stretching is a blessing.

    Chosen

    Play Episode Listen Later Jul 10, 2024 54:30


    Being chosen often comes with the assumption of a rejection of others. However, the way God chooses speaks to his intentionality. You were specifically chosen to become the fullness of God's image within your unique person. If we struggle to understand this and the full acceptance of the Father, we will not be able to allow our inner kingdom to be built into what the King desires it to become.

    Inner Kingdom

    The kingdom of God doesn't start in a ministry setting or in the world around us; the kingdom of God starts within us. Within us is a vast kingdom that God, the king, longs to transform into the full image of his goodness. The problem is, to do so, he must first face—with us—the dark alleyways that we've avoided for a long time. We are the beloved of the Father. If we can grasp our beloved identity, we'll effortlessly see "Your kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven." We are a kingdom work before we ever do a kingdom work.

    Choices

    Revival is a choice. We are called to choose what we know to be true before we feel it or experience it. If you wait for momentum or mass adoption, you'll never encounter the fullness of what you can access. The first step into any experience with God is a choice.

    Luke opens his gospel with his purpose and then his reasoning. In summary, Luke is writing to convince us of what we have heard (the Gospel), and he begins his convincing argument by introducing us to the idea that nothing is impossible for God. What does it look like for us, as people of God, to move from a life of fear-induced impossibility to faith-induced possibility?

    Jeremiah was called to prophesy to a people who had lost their way. His message was one of returning to their first love.

    Sheep are herd animals. They are natural followers. They will only follow a familiar voice (shepherd). Jesus uses this common understanding to teach the religious leaders about God's prophetic fulfillment in the Son. We must decide what voice is familiar and what is that of a stranger.

    You'll only see Jesus clearly when you become blind to what kept you from seeing Jesus before. In John 9, a man born blind is healed, and his sight is restored by Jesus. The religious leaders are furious because Jesus does this on the Sabbath. Religion will always be offended by those who have been given sight to see things for what they really are, but once you leave that system of karma, an angry god, and a weak Jesus, you'll inherit a revelation of the Son you were always designed to have.
