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.

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: [email protected] 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.

What if Jesus does not calm the storm you are in? In "Get Ready to Walk on Water," Pastor Brad Lindsey preaches from Matthew 14, where Jesus sends His disciples into a storm He knew was coming and then comes to them walking on the sea. He sets the common expectation that every storm will be calmed against what Peter actually asked for, which was permission to come to Jesus on the water, and he shows from Hebrews 12 that only the kingdom which cannot be shaken will remain. The call is to stop praying only for the storm to stop and instead step out of the boat, take the power God gives, and reach past yourself to the people around you. Message: Get Ready to Walk on Water Speaker: Pastor Brad Lindsey Recorded: October 18, 2026 Key Scriptures: 2 Peter 3:10 Matthew 14:22-32 2 Timothy 3:1-13 Hebrews 12:26-28 John 16:33 WATCH THE FULL SERVICE https://youtu.be/Z-x68QEv4Zs CONNECT WITH BROOKSIDE Website: https://brooksidechurchofgod.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BrooksideChurchofGod Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brooksidechurchofgod Phone: (205) 675-0703 Email: [email protected] 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.

A sermon taught by Brad Lindsey on how we change from carnal and fleshly thinking and acting to spiritual thinking and acting according to scripture.

Why do we struggle to do what is right, even after coming to Christ? In "Man's Dual Nature," Pastor Brad Lindsey explores the struggle between fleshly desires and life governed by the Spirit. Drawing from Genesis and Paul's teaching, he explains the difference between the natural person, the carnal believer, and the spiritual person. He calls believers to surrender their efforts at self-reliance and learn to walk in the Spirit, allowing God to shape their daily choices.

Does your view of God give you faith to ask Him for great things? In "How Big Is Your God?," Pastor Brad Lindsey argues that our view of God shapes the faith with which we pray. Through Job's encounter with God, the centurion who trusted Jesus' word, Joshua's bold prayer, and the church praying for Peter, he calls us to recognize God's greatness and trust His power. The invitation is to bring our needs to God in prayer while trusting His will. Message: How Big Is Your God?

How can we help the next generation remain faithful to the Lord? In "Generational Faith," Pastor Brad Lindsey teaches on preventing the next generation from turning away from the Lord. The message focuses on faith across generations and the need to help those who follow us stay with God.

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: [email protected] 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.

What happens when unresolved hurt begins to control our emotions? In “Controlled by Emotions,” Pastor Brad Lindsey looks at the lives of Cain and King Saul to show how anger, offense, jealousy, and bitterness can grow when they are left unresolved. Scripture gives us another way: bring the wound into the light, refuse to give the enemy a foothold, and choose the freedom found in forgiveness through Jesus Christ. Message: Controlled by Emotions Speaker: Pastor Brad Lindsey Recorded: September 6, 2026 Key Scriptures: 1 Samuel 18:6-9 Ephesians 4:26-32 Genesis 3:10 and Genesis 4:3-7 Luke 17:1-4 2 Corinthians 10:4 WATCH THE FULL SERVICE https://youtu.be/yKIE5nOxj0k CONNECT WITH BROOKSIDE Website: https://brooksidechurchofgod.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BrooksideChurchofGod Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brooksidechurchofgod Phone: (205) 675-0703 Email: [email protected] 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.

What happens to a person who has never told anyone the worst thing they have done? In "It Is Well With My Soul," Pastor Brad Lindsey reads Psalm 32 as David’s confession after Bathsheba, written from the year he stayed silent. He argues that unconfessed sin does not stay buried but works itself out in the body and the mind, which is what David means when he says his bones grew old through his groaning all day long. The turn comes at verse 5, where David acknowledges his sin instead of covering it, and God forgives the iniquity. The message is that the guilt a person cannot carry is the guilt God is waiting to lift.

What do you do with pain you have never worked through? In "How To Process The Pain," Pastor Brad Lindsey teaches on how to process pain and on what unforgiveness costs the person still carrying it.

If everyone stands before God one day, what exactly will be brought forward? In "In The Day Of Judgement," Pastor Brad Lindsey preaches from Matthew 25, where the Son of Man separates the nations as a shepherd divides sheep from goats. He builds the message on Hebrews 9:27, that it is appointed to man once to die and after this the judgment, and on the great white throne of Revelation 20, where the books are opened. Ecclesiastes, Matthew and Romans supply the contents of those books: secret works, idle words and the conscience. He closes on the pardon already offered in Christ, and says plainly that the message is meant to save rather than to frighten.

If every believer is sent, where exactly are they sent to? In "What Is The Mission & Where Is The Mission Field," Corey Jackson works through the Great Commission in Matthew 28 as a commission rather than a commandment: three actions, one promise and one time frame. He argues the commission was given to disciples rather than to pastors, that giving an account for the hope in you means the whole gospel rather than a softened piece of it, and that repentance is a change that shows. The answer to the second question is that the mission field is not only a faraway country but the home, the workplace and the counter you stand at today.

Why is a church full of believers so often weak? In "Coming Back to Spiritual Strength," Pastor Brad Lindsey reads the communion passage of 1 Corinthians 11 in its actual context, which is a church splitting into factions. He argues that Paul’s warning about eating and drinking in an unworthy manner is about how believers treat one another, and that this is why Paul says many among them are weak and sick. The bread broken on the night of the betrayal is the answer: Christ gave himself to people who were about to fail him. The call is to refuse division, forgive, and be given to the body rather than withdraw from it.
