    The Reformation: Doctrine and Life | Ephesians 2:1–10 | Pastor Brandon Scroggins

    The Protestant Reformation was never meant to be merely about recovering sound doctrine. It was about recovering biblical truth that transforms every area of life. In this Reformation Sunday sermon, Pastor Brandon Scroggins opens Ephesians 2:1–10 to examine the sovereign grace of God in salvation and the practical implications of the doctrines recovered during the Protestant Reformation. The Apostle Paul presents three foundational truths: Death (Ephesians 2:1–3): Apart from Christ, we are spiritually dead in our trespasses and sins, unable to save ourselves. Life (Ephesians 2:4–9): But God, being rich in mercy, makes dead sinners alive in Christ. Salvation is entirely by grace through faith, not by works. Fruit (Ephesians 2:10): Those saved by grace are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works. Pastor Brandon traces these truths through the Five Solas and the doctrines of grace, emphasizing justification by faith alone, regeneration, and the sovereign work of God in salvation. But the sermon does not stop with theology. The Reformation transformed family life, reshaped the church, influenced civil government, and fueled global missions. Those same biblical convictions must shape how Christians live today. Pastor Brandon also warns against two dangers within Reformed Christianity: reducing the faith to theological intellectualism and allowing doctrinal pride to produce unnecessary divisions among believers. Sound doctrine must produce faithful living. The call is not simply to know Reformation theology, but to live under the lordship of Jesus Christ—with humility, conviction, courage, and joy.

    Will Man Rob God? | Tithing, Giving & the Christian Life | Malachi 3:7–12

    Will Man Rob God? | Malachi 3:7–12 | Pastor Brandon Scroggins Does God really require Christians to tithe? Is giving ten percent still a biblical obligation under the New Covenant? And what does the way we handle money reveal about our relationship with God? In Malachi 3:7–12, God confronts His covenant people with a startling accusation: “Will man rob God? Yet you are robbing me.” Continuing our verse-by-verse exposition of Malachi, Pastor Brandon Scroggins examines God's command to return to Him, the sin of withholding what belongs to the Lord, and the promises of blessing attached to faithful obedience. This sermon explores the biblical foundations of tithing, the relationship between Old Testament giving and New Testament generosity, and the responsibility of Christians to support the worship and ministry of the local church. Rather than promoting a prosperity gospel or a poverty gospel, Scripture calls believers to faithful stewardship, sacrificial generosity, and joyful obedience. Whether you believe the Old Testament tithe remains binding or understand Christian giving through the principles of grace, the biblical responsibility to give generously, regularly, and cheerfully remains. The ultimate example of generosity is Jesus Christ, who, though He was rich, became poor for our sake (2 Corinthians 8:9). Our money, our possessions, and our very lives belong to God. The question is not simply how much we must give, but whether our hearts truly belong to Him.

    God of Vengeance, Part 2 | When the Wicked Prosper | Psalm 94

    Why does God allow the wicked to prosper? In this sermon on Psalm 94, Pastor Brandon Scroggins explains how God’s justice, sovereign rule, and steadfast love sustain His people when evil seems to go unanswered. “God of Vengeance, Part Two” explores a difficult but comforting truth: God sees every injustice, knows every thought, and will not abandon His people. His vengeance is holy and righteous, and Christians are called to leave personal revenge in His hands while overcoming evil with good. Walking verse by verse through this imprecatory psalm, Pastor Brandon shows how God uses suffering—even the sins others commit against us—to strengthen our faith and make us more like Christ. When our feet slip and our anxieties multiply, His steadfast love holds us up. The sermon concludes at the cross, where God used the greatest injustice in history to accomplish the salvation of His people. The coming judgment calls every hearer to repentance and faith in Jesus Christ, our only refuge from the judgment our own sins deserve.

    God of Vengeance, Part 1 | Should Christians Pray the Imprecatory Psalms? | Psalm 94

    God of Vengeance, Part 1 | Psalm 94 Pastor Brandon Scroggins | Reformation Baptist Church Sunday, October 4, 2026 Should Christians pray for God to judge His enemies? How can believers love their enemies while also praying for divine vengeance? What do the imprecatory Psalms teach us about God's holiness, justice, wrath, and mercy? In this sermon, “God of Vengeance, Part One,” Pastor Brandon Scroggins introduces the often-neglected imprecatory Psalms and begins an exposition of Psalm 94. While much of the modern church emphasizes God's love and compassion, Scripture reveals the fullness of His character—including His righteous wrath against wickedness and His unwavering commitment to justice. Through an examination of both the Old and New Testaments, Pastor Scroggins explains why biblical prayers for judgment are not invitations to personal revenge but expressions of faith in the sovereign God who judges righteously. In this sermon, we consider: What are the imprecatory Psalms, and should Christians pray and sing them today? How can Christians love their enemies while longing for God's righteous judgment? Why does Scripture forbid personal vengeance while affirming divine justice? How do God's wrath, holiness, love, and mercy work together? Why should the church recover the singing of the Psalms? How does Psalm 94 assure believers that God sees wickedness, preserves His people, and will ultimately judge evil? How can those who were once enemies of God become His friends through Jesus Christ? “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” — Romans 12:19 Though wickedness may seem to prosper and justice may appear delayed, the Lord neither slumbers nor forgets His people. His judgment is certain, His covenant promises remain steadfast, and His people can rest in His sovereign care. Above all, this sermon reminds us that the God who judges sinners is also the God who saves His enemies through the finished work of Jesus Christ. 📖 Primary Scripture: Psalm 94 Additional Scriptures: Psalm 58, Psalm 59, Psalm 139, Romans 12–13, Deuteronomy 32:35, Malachi 2:17–3:6, Revelation 6, Revelation 18, 1 Corinthians 15 ⏱️ SERMON CHAPTERS / TIMESTAMPS 00:00 – Opening: The Difficult Words of the Imprecatory Psalms 01:45 – Should Christians Pray for God's Judgment? 03:04 – Understanding the Full Character of God 05:10 – God's Righteous Wrath and Holy Love 06:50 – The Psalms and the Full Range of Human Emotion 09:09 – What Are the Imprecatory Psalms? 11:29 – Are These Psalms Righteous Prayers? 14:13 – God's Love and Judgment in Both Testaments 18:07 – Christ's Final Judgment in Revelation 19:33 – Recovering the Singing of the Psalms 22:59 – Romans 12: Loving Our Enemies 24:00 – Vengeance Belongs to the Lord 27:01 – Three Biblical Ways God Executes Justice 29:50 – Praying for the Salvation of God's Enemies 32:36 – Righteous Anger Versus Sinful Anger 36:19 – Learning Biblical Righteous Indignation 39:19 – Why the Church Must Recover Imprecatory Psalms 40:31 – Ten Reasons to Sing the Imprecatory Psalms 43:49 – Thy Kingdom Come: Praying for God's Victory 46:07 – Psalm 139: Search Me, O God 48:17 – Introduction to Psalm 94 50:50 – Psalm 94:1–7 | Lord, See Their Wicked Ways 53:13 – Psalm 94:8–11 | God Knows Every Thought 54:20 – Psalm 94:12–15 | God Sanctifies His People Through Suffering 55:36 – Psalm 94:16–23 | God Saves His People and Judges His Enemies 58:23 – The Gospel: From God's Enemies to His Friends 59:43 – Psalm 94: Preparing to Sing God's Word ABOUT REFORMATION BAPTIST CHURCH Reformation Baptist Church is a Reformed Baptist congregation located in Central Alabama, committed to the authority and sufficiency of Scripture, expositional preaching, historic Baptist theology, and the proclamation of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

    A Swift Witness | Malachi 3:5-6

    Everything around us is changing. Our circumstances change. People change. Nations change. We ourselves change. But Scripture points us to one unshakable truth: God does not change. In this expositional sermon from Malachi 3:5–6, Pastor Brandon Scroggins focuses on two eternal realities: judgment is coming, and God is unchanging. Malachi describes the Lord drawing near as a “swift witness” against sin. God’s coming judgment reveals His perfect justice, His hatred of sin, and mankind’s desperate need for forgiveness in Jesus Christ. Yet the same passage also gives extraordinary comfort to God’s people: “For I the LORD do not change; therefore you, O children of Jacob, are not consumed.” — Malachi 3:6 The doctrine of God’s immutability means that God does not change in His nature, character, purposes, promises, or covenant faithfulness. His justice does not change—but neither do His mercy, goodness, faithfulness, or promises to His people. In a world of constant change, the Christian’s security is found by tethering ourselves to the One who never changes. Sermon: A Swift Witness Text: Malachi 3:5–6 Preacher: Pastor Brandon Scroggins Church: Reformation Baptist Church  Key themes in this sermon include: the judgment of God, the fear of God, repentance, forgiveness in Christ, the works of the flesh, the fruit of the Spirit, God’s covenant faithfulness, and the doctrine of divine immutability. “And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.” — 1 Corinthians 6:11 #Malachi #ImmutabilityOfGod #ReformedBaptist #ExpositoryPreaching #GodDoesNotChange #JudgmentOfGod #1689BaptistConfession #ReformedTheology #ChristianSermon #ReformationBaptistChurch

    A Refiner and a Purifier | Malachi 3:1-6

    What is God really doing when He allows affliction and suffering into our lives? In this expository message from Malachi 3:1-6, Pastor Brandon Scroggins of Reformation Baptist Church continues our verse-by-verse series through Malachi, showing that the God who promises to bring justice is also the God who refines and purifies His people through the fire — sanctifying us right in the middle of our suffering. Picking up from last week's study of Malachi 2:17 ("Where is the God of justice?"), this message unpacks three movements in the text: the coming messenger of God (v.1), the purifying work of God (v.2-3), and the pleasing worship of God (v.4) — closing with seven practical, biblical answers to the question every believer eventually asks: why does God allow bad things to happen to His children? KEY THEMES & TOPICS COVERED Malachi 3:1-6 sermon, the refiner's fire in the Bible, the messenger of the covenant, John the Baptist as forerunner, the Day of the Lord, sanctification through suffering, why God allows affliction, biblical theology of suffering and trials, expository preaching through Malachi, Reformed Baptist sermon on suffering, God's justice and mercy, purified worship, Malachi minor prophets series.

    The God of Justice | Malachi 2:17

    Why do the wicked prosper? Why does God allow evil and suffering? Where is God when justice seems delayed? In this sermon from Reformation Baptist Church in Wetumpka, Alabama, Pastor Brandon Scroggins preaches from Malachi 2:17, where God’s people ask a question that still confronts us today: “Where is the God of justice?” Malachi exposes three searching questions: Have we wearied God? Why do the wicked prosper? And where is the God of justice? Through Malachi, Habakkuk, Psalm 73, Isaiah, Genesis, Luke, Romans, and 2 Peter, Pastor Brandon examines one of the most difficult questions of the Christian faith—the apparent prosperity of the wicked, the suffering of God’s people, and the seeming delay of divine justice. God’s delayed justice is not evidence of His absence, weakness, or indifference. God is sovereign. God is good. God is patient. And God will judge the world with perfect righteousness in His appointed time. But the doctrine of divine justice should also turn our eyes inward. Before demanding justice against others, we must recognize that we ourselves are sinners deserving judgment. The good news of the gospel is that God’s justice and mercy meet at the cross of Jesus Christ. Christ bore the judgment His people deserved so that sinners who repent and believe may be forgiven. And for every injustice that remains unresolved in this life, Scripture gives the Christian confidence: the Judge of all the earth will do what is just.
