    The Blame Game

    Why is our first reaction always to say it is not my fault? In "The Blame Game," Pastor Brad Lindsey traces blame shifting back through Numbers 13 to 16, where Israel stands at the edge of the land God promised them, decides on its own that it cannot go up, tries to go up in its own strength anyway, fails, and then turns on Moses, the deliverer they had cried out for in the first place. He follows the same reflex all the way back to Genesis 3, where Adam blames the woman and then God for a choice he made himself, and then sets King Saul beside King David to show that what separated them was never the magnitude of the sin but the response of the sinner. The message names what blame shifting costs us, that nothing ever changes, that we grow bitter and that we are left alone, and it calls us to refuse to be victims, to own our own decisions and to bring them to God.

    The Value of a Gift

    How do we value a gift? In "The Value of a Gift," preached on Pastor Appreciation Sunday, Brother Daniel Howard asks what actually makes a gift worth anything, and answers it from four passages: the widow and her two mites in Mark 12, Barnabas selling his land for the church in Acts 4, Ananias and Sapphira holding part of theirs back in Acts 5, and the Samaritan who stopped on the Jericho road in Luke 10. The argument is that a gift's worth is not the price the world puts on it but three things together: a real need, a real cost to the giver, and a gift that is actually received, and that the cost is paid in time, nearness and strength at least as often as it is paid in money. It ends at the greatest gift of all, the Son God gave out of love and not out of abundance, and asks whether you have received that gift or only admired it. Message: The Value of a Gift Speaker: Brother Daniel Howard Recorded: October 25, 2026 Key Scriptures: Mark 12:41-44 Acts 4:32-37 Acts 5:1-11 Luke 10:25-37 Matthew 5:43-48 John 3:16 Romans 6:23 2 Peter 3:9 CHAPTERS 00:00 At the pulpit on Pastor Appreciation Sunday 00:19 Opening prayer 02:09 A dream about a message on giving 05:02 How do we value a gift 09:03 The widow and her two mites in Mark 12 11:15 Barnabas sells his land in Acts 4 14:48 Ananias and Sapphira in Acts 5 21:08 Your God or your Lord 22:04 The good Samaritan in Luke 10 28:05 Love your enemies by giving 30:14 What mercy cost the Samaritan 35:16 He stopped and gave his time 38:00 He was willing to get close 40:14 He gave his strength and his effort 47:03 He took responsibility for what came next 51:14 What makes a gift count 53:00 The greatest gift of all 57:08 Not willing that any should perish 59:59 Thank you to the pastor and his wife WATCH THE FULL SERVICE https://youtu.be/XpiFCB55MUU CONNECT WITH BROOKSIDE Website: https://brooksidechurchofgod.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BrooksideChurchofGod Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brooksidechurchofgod Phone: (205) 675-0703 Email: info@brooksidecog.com Brookside Church of God 200 Cardiff Street Brookside, Alabama 35036 Sunday School: 9:45 AM Morning Worship: 10:45 AM Wednesday Classes: 6:30 PM Our mission is to preach and support the Gospel of Jesus Christ both locally and abroad, opening the door for lives to be transformed through His power.

    Joseph: Healing the Past Without Becoming Bitter

    What do you do with a wound so deep that the person who caused it may never make it right? In “Joseph: Healing the Past Without Becoming Bitter,” Pastor Brad Lindsey walks through the life of Joseph to show that forgiveness and reconciliation are two different things. Scripture warns that unresolved anger gives the devil a foothold and lets a root of bitterness spring up, so the heart has to be settled before any relationship can be restored. Joseph resolved the past, confronted his brothers, tested whether they had truly changed, and then held to the larger perspective: what they meant for evil, God meant for good. Message: Joseph: Healing the Past Without Becoming Bitter Speaker: Pastor Brad Lindsey Recorded: September 13, 2026 Key Scriptures: Matthew 18:34-35 Ephesians 4:26-32 Hebrews 12:15 Genesis 42:7-8 and Genesis 42:15 Genesis 43:15-17 and Genesis 43:33-34 Genesis 44:2-9 and Genesis 44:18-33 Genesis 45:1-5 Genesis 50:19-21 WATCH THE FULL SERVICE https://youtu.be/od4yNO-Qjio CONNECT WITH BROOKSIDE Website: https://brooksidechurchofgod.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BrooksideChurchofGod Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brooksidechurchofgod Phone: (205) 675-0703 Email: info@brooksidecog.com Brookside Church of God 200 Cardiff Street Brookside, Alabama 35036 Sunday School: 9:45 AM Morning Worship: 10:45 AM Wednesday Classes: 6:30 PM Our mission is to preach and support the Gospel of Jesus Christ both locally and abroad, opening the door for lives to be transformed through His power.
