    Our Unexpected God: The God Who Doesn't Wait for Permission

    The story of Zacchaeus reveals how Jesus intentionally seeks out those society rejects. As a despised tax collector, Zacchaeus climbed a tree to see Jesus, who then invited himself to dinner at his house. The crowd was outraged that Jesus would associate with such a sinner. However, Jesus' unexpected grace transformed Zacchaeus instantly - not through guilt or shame, but through being chosen and valued. This demonstrates that God's grace comes before we're ready, and that belonging leads to transformation, not the other way around.

    Our Unexpected God: The God Who Sees the Invisible *Sorry the Audio is Bad*

    The story of Hagar reveals a God who sees those pushed to society's margins. When Abraham and Sarah's impatience led them to use Hagar as a surrogate, she became caught in a cycle of abuse and abandonment. Fleeing to the wilderness, Hagar encountered God who called her by name and promised her descendants. She became the first person in Scripture to name God - El Roi, the God who sees. Though God didn't immediately fix her circumstances, He provided dignity, sustenance, and hope. Hagar's story reminds us that God sees the invisible and calls us to refuse creating new systems of oppression. Visit communitybrookside.com or facebook.com/communitybrookside for more information!

    Our Unexpected God: The God Who Conquers Death

    Easter morning began not with celebration, but with grief-stricken women carrying spices to anoint Jesus' body. They had forgotten His promises and lost all hope. Yet in their deepest despair, God revealed His greatest miracle. The angels asked a profound question: Why do you look for the living among the dead? This question became the first Easter sermon, reminding us that resurrection begins with hope, not understanding. Peter, despite his shame from denying Jesus, ran to the empty tomb when he heard the news. He didn't have all the answers, but he sensed the story wasn't over. Easter shows us a God who defeats death without violence and brings hope without conditions, exactly as we are. Visit communitybrookside.com or facebook.com/communitybrookside for more information!

    Our Unexpected God: The God Who Shatters Our Expectations

    Palm Sunday reveals Jesus as the unexpected king who defied all worldly expectations. Instead of riding a war horse to claim political power, Jesus chose a humble donkey and went to the temple rather than the palace. The crowds wanted a political messiah to overthrow Rome, but Jesus came to transform hearts through self-giving love. His kingdom operates on completely different principles than earthly kingdoms, advancing through sacrifice rather than force. This challenges us to examine our own expectations of Jesus and surrender our desire to control how he works in our lives.

    Broken to Restored - With Special Guest Chandler Harlin

    Life sometimes leaves us feeling spiritually empty and exhausted, like the valley of dry bones in Ezekiel 37. When dreams feel dead and faith grows cold, we might wonder if restoration is even possible. God intentionally leads us into valleys because He is not afraid of broken places and does His most powerful work there. Instead of trying to figure everything out, we need to trust God's wisdom like Ezekiel did when he said, "You alone know." God brings restoration gradually - first connecting the pieces, then adding substance, and finally breathing His Spirit to bring true life. The same God who transformed a valley of death into a living army can breathe hope into any area of our lives that feels dead or hopeless.

    Still Leading - With Special Guest Kristen Harlin

    Psalm 23 declares that "The Lord is my shepherd" in present tense, meaning God actively leads us right now through life's complexities. None of us have everything figured out, whether we're children, parents, or retirees - we're all making educated guesses while trying to balance work, relationships, and daily challenges. The story of the man born blind in John 9 shows how Jesus sees us as people, not problems, and how faith grows through experience from curiosity to worship. Sometimes God makes us slow down in green pastures because we won't do it ourselves, filling every hour until we're exhausted in ways sleep can't fix. Through sanctifying grace, God continues shaping us after we come to faith, teaching us to listen more closely and follow more faithfully as we grow little by little.

    Back to Basics: Salvation as a Life We Live Into

    Many Christians view salvation as a finish line - a moment of prayer, forgiveness, or heavenly insurance. However, Scripture reveals salvation as a starting line for lifelong transformation. We are saved not just from sin, but for something greater: participating with God in bringing justice, mercy, and healing to the world. Grace involves three stages - prevenient grace that awakens us, justifying grace that reconciles us, and sanctifying grace that transforms us throughout life. When we treat salvation as complete rather than ongoing, we risk spiritual stagnation and become consumers instead of disciples. True salvation moves us outward to serve others and work alongside God in making the world new. Visit communitybrookside.com or facebook.com/communitybrookside for more information!

    Ash Wednesday 2026

    Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent, a 40-day period of spiritual preparation before Easter. This sacred day serves as a holy interruption, reminding us that we are dust - fragile, finite, and beloved by God. The ashes we receive aren't threats but truths about who we are, calling us to stop pretending we're self-sufficient and return to God with honest, vulnerable hearts. Lent isn't about spiritual performance or proving our holiness, but about spiritual realignment - quietly strengthening the unseen parts of our faith. It's an opportunity to clean out our spiritual closet, examining what we've avoided and making space for God by letting go of what grips us.
