Feel My FaithWhy You Should be Less Concerned About Successfulness and More Concerned about FaithfulnessAmerican Christianity is concerned about prosperity and success. We want our best life now despite the Biblical teaching that our best life comes later.
Hebrews 2 teaches that Christ isn't concerned about our successfulness as He is our faithfulness. As our eternal Propitiation Jesus helps us with the penalty of sin. As our daily High Priest Jesus helps us with temptation.

2024-07-1726 minFeel My FaithWhy Did Jesus Die for Me? RedemptionWhen Jesus died for you He didn't pay the price for you to go to Heaven. He paid the price for you! Jesus redeemed you from sin.
In this message Brian explains what redemption means from Ephesians 1:7. He also uses an illustration to help us understand the power of two little words sprinkled throughout Paul's letters, "In Him" or "In Christ." What does it mean that we have redemption "in Him?"
2024-07-1124 minFeel My FaithCan I Stop Sinning?Jesus died so you could be forgiven of your sins. But Jesus also died so that you could stop sinning.
Walking in holiness is a million little decisions. The way you get out of a sinful habit is the same way you got into a sinful habit. Every decision is directional. Every day is a million little decisions to obey Christ from the heart. Doing so will increase the fruit of sanctification in your life.
In this message we explore the doctrine of sanctification from Romans 6. Sanctification is positional and progressive.
2024-06-2533 minFeel My FaithWhat is Justification?Everyone will stand before God and everyone has an eternal RAP sheet for which he will give account. But didn't Jesus die for our sins? Is so, what happens to our record?
This message discusses the doctrine of justification as revealed in Romans 3. What is justification? How did Jesus' death secure our justification?
2024-06-1933 minFeel My FaithWhy Did Jesus Die for Me? ReconciliationJesus didn't just die for you because he loves you. One of the reasons He died for you is so that you may be reconciled to God.
How does the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ reconcile us to God? What does it mean to be reconciled to God? How does this reconciliation effect our relationships?
This message looks at verses on reconciliation from Romans 5 and Colossians 1.
A clip from Prison Fellowship is used in this sermon.
2024-06-1135 minFeel My FaithWhat's So Amazing About Grace?Grace is amazing but it is not automatic. Many people know the words to the song but have yet to access saving grace.
What is grace? Why do we need grace? How does one receive grace?
The answers to these questions are in Romans 5. As we discover the answer to these questions it also helps us answer the question that is the concern of this series, why did Jesus die for me?
2024-06-0422 minFeel My FaithNo Salvation Without SubstitutionWhen Adam sinned we all sinned. When Adam sinned we were all doomed to die. But I wasn't there so how can that be fair?
Romans 5 explains the marvel of God's sovereign wisdom and grace in setting up a system where one man's decisions can impact everyone else. Why? Because if one man can sin and all the rest become sinners, then through one man's life, death, and resurrection, sinners can be saved.
2024-05-3026 minFeel My FaithDon't Leave out LoveLove makes all the difference!
Whether it's a home or a church you can have great facilities and prosperity, but when there is no love it amounts to nothing.
1 Corinthians reminds gifted people not to leave out love.
And yes, I brought some toys to church for this message :).

Feel My FaithThe Real ThingThe Spirit-led church is a manifestation of God at work in the world as He empowers His people through spiritual gifts.
The cheap knock-off brands of the church are sanitized versions of idolatry where spiritual movement is nothing more than the manipulation of man.
How can you tell the difference? The answer begins in 1 Corinthians 12:1-3 as we become self-aware of our propensity toward idolatry.
2024-04-3042 minFeel My FaithTest the SpiritsIf you are going to win at the game of life you can't be playing checkers if the game is really chess. 1 John 4:1-6 reveals game changing information about the way you approach every facet of life. In a world that is both physical and spiritual material solutions won't work. Change the game!
2024-04-2441 minFeel My FaithWhat Does It Mean to Be Filled With The Spirit?The Bible talks about being filled with the Spirit. What does that mean? How does it feel? What would one who is filled with the Spirit experience? If I'm not filled with the Spirit, how can I become so?
2024-04-1023 minFeel My FaithHow to Be HappyEveryone wants to be happy. God is concerned for your happiness. But happiness does not come by "getting" but by "becoming."
In Galatians 5:16-26 the Bible shows us how the Holy Spirit transforms our lives from the wasteland of centeredness to a virtuous walk with God.
2024-04-1038 minFeel My FaithWhat's the Cost of Knowing Christ?If you knew you could invest in something that was guaranteed to make you wealthy you would do it. You wouldn't only do it, but you might even give up everything for it.
Jesus said that when a person realizes the worth of the Kingdom of Heaven that they would give up everything in this world to have it. And that's exactly what Paul did.
In Philippians 3 Paul talks about how he took a loss so that he may gain Christ. Paul did not just want to know the Easter story, he wanted to know the power of the...

Feel My FaithHow it Started, How It's GoingThe church started in Acts 2 on the Day of Pentecost. They prayed for 10 days. They didn't sing any songs. Peter preached for 1 minute and 27 seconds before people started responding and over 3,000 people were saved. That's how it started. As far as we see the church in America . . . how's it going?The church in America has left it's roots as a movement of the Holy Spirit of God and has turned to production.
If we want to experience all the Lord truly has for us it is time for us to return to how it started.

Feel My FaithTo Your AdvantageContemporary Christianity expresses itself with highly produced worship services, influential podcasts and personalities, publishing houses, and resourceful local churches; but none of these things are the essence of the Christian faith. And none of these things will help you thread the needle when navigating some of life's most pressured moments.
Jesus gave His apostles an advantage as they faced an intensifying set of problems. He makes an astounding statement in John 16 that it was actually to their advantage that Jesus go away. Understanding the advantage He gave them will help you get to the essence of what...
2024-02-1337 minFeel My FaithWas that the Holy Spirit or Just the Caffeine Kicking In (Part 2)How can you tell if the Holy Spirit is leading you, if God is speaking to you? Jesus outlines several experiences we will have if the Holy Spirit is in us.
Judeo-Christian principles may make you conservative, but it is presence of Holy Spirit in you that makes you a Christian. Without the Holy Spirit a church is little more than a religion club.
2024-01-3029 minFeel My FaithWas that the Holy Spirit or Just the Caffeine (Part 1)?How can you tell the difference between an inspiring thought and the leading of the Holy Spirit? In this message Brian looks at 7 experiences Jesus spoke of in the relationship between those who are born again and the Holy Spirit. This is part 1 of a set of messages from John 14.
2024-01-2333 minFeel My FaithDo You Know the Holy Spirit?In John 14:15-17 Jesus said there are two types of people when in relation to the Holy Spirit. Despite the Holy Spirit working in the world there is a group that does not perceive Him or know Him. The other group of people know Him because He dwells with them and in them. Which group are you? Do you know the Holy Spirit?
2024-01-1633 minFeel My FaithHow to Fail at Spiritual Disciplines, Again!In the New Year we are challenged to have resolve and set lofty goals physically, financially, and spiritually. But you've tried it before . . . are you ready to fail again?
Jesus gives us some surprising insight in Matthew 11:29-30 of why we fail at spiritual disciplines. He says our discipleship should be a burden that is easy, light and that in Him you will find rest for your souls. If we learn where we fail we can learn from Christ how to find this refreshing rest for our souls that only He can give.
2024-01-0240 minFeel My FaithThe Weapon of PrayerWhen you are in a battle, weapons matter! You are in a battle!
In this message we look at 7 realities from an extraordinary passage, Daniel 10, and explore the power of the weapon of prayer.
2023-12-2040 minFeel My FaithTake Root Downward, Bear Fruit UpwardGod is at work around you. Join Him in what He is doing. Take root and bear fruit!
In this message I share how God is speaking, confirming, and working in the life of our church, Liberty Baptist.
Isaiah 37:30-32
2023-12-1244 minFeel My FaithPacifiersWhen a baby cries there is an instinctive rush to remedy what's wrong. When we can't figure out the problem, we give the baby a pacifier. We do this long into adulthood with the cries of our heart. Instead of turning to God in prayer and sharing with him the cries of our heart, we fill our lives with pacifiers. Doing so prevents truly satisfying answers to our heart cries.
2023-12-0827 minFeel My FaithThe Importance of Repentance in PrayerSin will put the promises of God on the shelf. God's intentions are still good. There is no question of His love for you. But God will not bless sin. So, the promise remains, but there will be a pause until you repent.
This message is from Daniel 9 in a series entitled Learning to Pray.
2023-11-2134 minFeel My FaithDon't Just Do Something, Stand There!Are you the kind of person who when problems arise your strategy is DON'T JUST STAND THERE, DO SOMETHING! If so, does it ease your anxiety or add to your stress? Is it an effective plan or does it cause a bigger mess?
When Daniel had a problem he didn't just do something, HE STOOD THERE in the promises of God and prayed them!
In this message, you will learn how to find a promise of God in Scripture that speaks to your situation, pray it until God does it, and then stand back and watch God work.
Daniel 9...
2023-11-1432 minFeel My FaithWhat God Does When His People Prevail in PrayerPeople will stand in line for hours, even days for Cronuts, the latest iPhone, or for a student ticket to a Duke basketball game. But are you willing to prevail in prayer? Daniel 9 and 10 reveals some amazing things God does when His people prevail in prayer.
2023-10-3035 minFeel My FaithIf Prayer Isn't Working (4) Check for Unconfessed SinOne of the reasons God may not be answering your prayers is due to unconfessed sin. In this message, we look at James 5, how we wander, and how God's people praying together can bring us back!
2023-10-1742 minFeel My FaithWhen Prayer Isn't Working 3 - Check Your RelationshipsJames 3 and 4 describe a toxic soup of relational dysfunction; not on the Jerry Springer Show, but in the church! We've all experienced it, participated in it, and been hurt by it. And this dysfunction needs to be dealt with because it is DEMONIC! Furthermore, it will CRUSH your prayer life. But God gives more grace. The Bible tells us how to handle relational tension in a way that brings about a harvest of righteousness and gets us back on track to powerful prayer.
2023-10-0935 minFeel My FaithWhen Prayer Isn't Working - Step 2 Check Your ObediencePrayer works because God answers prayer! But what if prayer isn't working? In this message, we look at James 1:16-27. If prayer isn't working, check your obedience. Are you doing what God says? Don't separate Scripture from prayer.
2023-09-2627 minFeel My FaithWhen Prayer Isn't Working Step 1 - Check Your FaithWhen prayer isn't working the Book of James gives you some things to check. First, check your faith. James 1:2-18
2023-09-1330 minFeel My FaithHow to Pray When You're Not at ChurchMost of what you see and hear in public prayer doesn't work in private prayer. In Matthew 6 Jesus commands us to have a secret place to meet with God where we can shut out everything else and everybody else. If you're frustrated with people, say it to God in prayer and leave it there!

Feel My FaithAre You Just a Christian or a True Disicple?The word "Christian" should mean a lot but in our culture, it really doesn't mean much. But the word "disciple" is measurable. It is verifiable. A disciple is evidenced by decisions, habits, and commitment. It requires life change. Your faith should get in the way of your life, not your life in the way of your faith. In Acts 9, Ananias is described as a "disciple at Damascus." In this message,s we look at 5 statements Jesus makes about what it means to be His disciple.

Feel My FaithWounded - Isaiah 53Everyone is wounded. What are your wounds? How did it happen? What did 'they' do to you?
Wounds hurt. How did you deal with the pain? When you deal with it in an unhealthy way you can cause more wounds. When you deal with it in a healthy way; either way, sometimes it feels like nothing changed. The wounds are still there.
Isaiah 53 tells us that Jesus' wounds bring healing to our wounds. How? What does it mean to be healed?
2023-04-1126 min
Feel My FaithWorth the WaitNo one want to wait. Hardly anyone waits well. Some refuse to wait. Yet over and over again the Bible tells us to "wait on the Lord." Financial situation? Family problems? Health crisis? The advice is all the same, "wait on the Lord." So what do you do while you wait? Isaiah 40 shows us what to do when God puts us on the wait-list.

Feel My FaithIf You Are Not Firm in Faith You Will Not Be Firm at AllSwiss theologian Karl Barth said that we should have a newspaper in one hand and the Bible in the other. We should read both, but interpret the news by the Bible. Have you heard the news lately? What does the Bible say about it? Are you firm in faith or filled with fear? Will your next decision be more influenced by faith or by fear? While facing a real problem the prophet Isaiah gives King Ahaz an unlikely solution and the crisis of faith begins. This message covers selected passages from Isaiah 7-9.

Feel My FaithWhy We Don't Respond to WarningsIn Isaiah 5 the prophet issues 6 "woes" or warnings. The problem is that people don't generally respond to warnings. Why is that? There is a storm gathering on the horizon of our culture. We need to pay attention to what Isaiah is saying. See if these warnings or "woes" sound familiar.
This message covers content from Isaiah 2-5.
2023-02-2135 minFeel My FaithSuccess in SufferingSuffering can turn a congregation into a toxic situation where the pastor and the people fan one another's pride. These toxic situations are causing the church to become delusional about suffering. We are drunk on the heresy of prosperity. Peter calls God's people to humility. Congregational humility will bring us theological sobriety and we will experience God's wonderful grace in our suffering.
2023-02-1447 minFeel My FaithWhat Matters in the EndNo one wants to get to the end of their life and realize that they wasted their time. We need an awakening moment that helps us rank what we think is important according to proper priorities. What matters in the end? 1 Peter 4 provides some insight into what really matters in the end.
2023-01-2436 minFeel My FaithHow to RetaliateWhen someone insults and slanders you how do you respond? 1 Peter 3:8-22 calls us to restraint, but it also calls us to retaliate in a surprising way. Don't run from this call! It will bring your enemies to shame!
2023-01-1036 minFeel My FaithThe Toxicity of Hypocrisy in FastingThe greatest hindrance to fasting isn't dealing with the hunger, it is hypocrisy. We must be careful that we are not fasting food only to grow fat on self. Hypocrisy is toxic to the reward of faithful fasting. Scripture: Isaiah 58
2022-12-2031 minFeel My FaithBrokenness Before BreakthroughsThe Bible gives numerous examples of prayer and fasting leading to breakthroughs. Breakthroughs can be answered prayer, new seasons of fruitfulness, a fresh anointing of God's Spirit, experiences of God's presence, the lifting of oppression and the breaking of bondage.
The possibility of breakthroughs encourages our faith. But we must also heed a warning about prayer and fasting.
Without brokenness fasting is just dieting. Without repentance it is just a ritual. How do we make sure that these are not just the manipulations of man but that we are truly seeking a move of God?
2022-12-1135 minFeel My FaithA Deeper Hunger in FastingFasting takes you to a place where physical hunger becomes a spiritual appetite. It is a place you cannot reach with food and only God can feed. The key to fasting is being hungry. Don't take the path of least resistance if you want the greatest reward. In this message Brian shares Biblical insight into the spirit of fasting from Psalm 63.
2022-12-0633 minFeel My FaithWith Prayer and FastingSome things will not be answered in your life until prayer is accompanied by fasting. I've had some pretty amazing experiences of late during a season of prayer and fasting. Here is a follow up to the story I shared in the message The God Who Breaks You Will Bring You Back.

How should you respond when it is your spouse who resists your faith? 1 Peter 3 gives us a wise strategy that might turn opposition at home into an opportunity to share Christ with your spouse. 1 Peter 3 is a wide field with broad fences; proven principles you can apply to a wide range of situations at home.
2022-11-1334 minFeel My FaithRepair Your Relationship with GodIsaiah 1 teaches us that God will not forsake His relationship with His people, but there are times that relationship needs repair. God has redeemed us, but we rebel. In this message, Brian Branam walks you through the message of Isaiah 1 and how God doesn't just call us to confession, but correction. Sin affects our relationships with others. How can we soften those wounds and give them an opportunity to heal? Note: Brian does not take the time to develop the historical and Biblical context of Isaiah 1 in light of God's relationship with Israel. For sake of time, he moves...
