DDD: Change My Heart: Repentance, Restoration, and Public Impact
A Devotion for your drive into work: Will the Church go into the world as just another compromised voice—or as a purified, humble bride recently returned to Christ through repentance and heart change? Drawing from Ezekiel 16:23–43, Pastor Brian Noble unpacks the “prophetic cycle” of blessing, infidelity, judgment, and redemption. Jerusalem is pictured as an unfaithful wife who uses God’s gifts for idolatrous purposes and, as a result, faces exposure, loss, and discipline. But God’s purpose, even in His anger, is to bring about repentance and restoration—so the bride may once again be holy, devote...

He affirms that the same faithful God offers believers freedom, forgiveness, daily provision, peace, and eternal life in Christ.

A Devotion for your drive into work: When promises clash with circumstance, will you contemplate your limitations or God’s ability—can you stand firm, refuse to waver, and glorify God even before the answer comes? Pastor Brian Noble teaches that biblical faith means conviction and assurance about God’s word, not a denial of reality. Abraham acknowledged his body and Sarah’s womb “as good as dead,” yet he stayed confident in God’s faithfulness. Faith, defined as assurance of things hoped for and evidence of things unseen, pleases God and activates miracles. The practical lesso...

Pastor Brian Noble reviews Ezekiel 16, showing how Jerusalem was helpless, abandoned, and spiritually dead, yet God rescued her, entered into an everlasting covenant, and lavished her with royal blessing. Tragically, Jerusalem (and by analogy, believers) then played the harlot—forgetting her origin, devoting God’s blessings to idols, and losing sight of God’s calling. Yet God’s c...

A Devotion for your drive into work: Even when your reality shouts “impossible,” true faith clings to God’s promise and praises Him before the answer comes. Pastor Brian Noble breaks down Romans 4 and Hebrews 11, describing Abraham’s “hope against hope”—his refusal to let circumstances shape his faith. Abraham considered his body and Sarah’s womb “as good as dead” but chose to believe God’s word over visible evidence, resulting in strength, joy, and the crediting of righteousness. The lesson invites believers to realistically acknowledge difficulty without weakening in faith, to pray for miracles, and to give p...

Pastor Brian Noble traces Genesis 12 (great nation/Israel) and Genesis 17 (multitude of nations/global church) and shows, with Galatians 3–4, that God deliberately broadened Abraham’s covenant to welcome Gentiles into one spiritual family. The promise is received by faith alone—not by law, ethnicity, or ritual. Paul argues every believer is a child of Abraham and an heir, whether Jew or Greek, sl...

Pastor Brian Noble uses vivid metaphors from daily life to illustrate “in accordance with grace”: just as gravity enables cycling and electricity powers appliances, so grace invisibly empowers faith, hope, and kingdom living. Drawing from Romans, Ephesians, and public square application, the teaching calls believers to base their confidence, fruitfulness, and courage on God’s grace, not their past, abilities, or reputation.

Drawing deeply from Romans 4:13 and passages in Matthew, Galatians, and Corinthians, Pastor Brian Noble shows that the promise to Abraham is fulfilled “not through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.” The law acts as a mirror, reflecting each person’s true spiritual condition and pointing to the impossibility of self-justification. Its purpose is not salvation, but conviction that leads to Christ. The call is practical...

Pastor Brian Noble reviews many New Testament passages—Matthew, Luke, John, Acts, Romans, Galatians, Hebrews, James—showing that Abraham is repeatedly cited as the example of faith, justification, blessing, and covenant.

Pastor Brian Noble conducts a word study of “credited” in Romans 4, explaining that Abraham believed God and “it was credited to him as righteousness.” This crediting is not just removing debt, but adding the infinite positive value of Christ’s righteousness to the believer’s account—apart from works or ritual, but solely by faith. The transfer is irreversible, unconditional, and available to both Jew...

Pastor Brian Noble unpacks Romans 4:4–5 and the parable of the vineyard laborers, showing that wages are paid for work, but righteousness is credited solely through faith, just as Abraham believed God and was counted righteous.

Pastor Brian Noble draws from Genesis 15 and Romans 4 to show that faith—apart from law or personal effort—has always been the basis of righteousness. Abraham was justified decades before the law existed, foreshadowing salvation by faith in Christ for all people. Believers, credited as righteous, receive the “ministry of reconciliation”: bringing others to peace with God through C...

Your momma's faith ain't going to save you! Drawing from Ezekiel 14:12–23 and the examples of Noah, Daniel, and Job, Pastor Brian Noble explains that even the greatest saints’ righteousness only saves themselves; “momma’s faith” cannot save a person, nor can church attendance, denominational identity, or inherited religious customs.

The answer: true faith always produces action, but those actions can never save us—they just prove that our faith is real. Pastor Brian Noble unpacks Genesis 11–25, Romans 4, and James 2, showing that Abraham’s justification was by faith alone—he simply believed God’s promises, and it was “credited to him as righteousness.” Paul’s point (Romans) is that no one is saved by works; James’ point is that genuine faith cannot help but result in good works as a “byproduct.” W...

Yet true faith is never idle: like Abraham, genuine trust in Christ produces loving action and visible transformation. Christians are called to let the risen Jesus, not external effort, become the driving force that generates compassion, obedience, and w...

Drawing from Romans 3:21–26 and Galatians 2, Pastor Brian Noble clarifies the biblical terms “just” (God’s perfect righteousness) and “justifier” (the one who makes people righteous). The gospel proclaims that justification is not by works but by faith in Christ’s finished work; to attempt self-justification is to “nullify the grace of God.” Believers are called to live crucified with Christ—dead to old sin and alive to God’s Spirit—so there is no...

Pastor Brian Noble explores Romans 3 and Romans 11, explaining that God’s “propitiation” means Christ is both the sacrifice and the mercy seat—the golden lid atop the Ark of the Covenant, where blood was sprinkled to cover sin and where God met His people. Through repentance and faith in Jesus, anyone is justified, redeemed, and covered—no longer condemned, but reco...

Pastor Brian Noble explains Romans 3 and 11: all have sinned, but justification and redemption come only “through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus.” Redemption is not earned; it is received as a gift—Jesus’ blood buys believers out of sin and spiritual exile, grafts Gentiles into God’s covenant, and keeps Israel’s hope alive.

Drawing from Romans 3:21–26 and Old Testament promises, Pastor Brian Noble emphasizes that the statement “all have sinned” highlights humanity’s universal need for a Savior, not a revocation of God’s covenant with Israel.

Pastor Brian Noble, referencing Romans 3:21–26 and Romans 11, rebuts “replacement theology,” emphasizing that “God has not rejected his people…Israel.” While Jews—from Paul’s day to today—need salvation through Christ like all others, the scriptural witness shows God always preserves a Jewish remnant, disciplines Israel as a sign of His reality, and remains faithful to His covenants.
