Description

How should we dress as Christians? What’s our duty with the tithe? And how do we tame our unruly tongues? These are just three of many practical issues Scott Brown will address in his new podcast, Scripture Applied. Approximately five minutes in length, these short takes are designed to bring God’s Word to bear on a variety of important subjects. Drawing from sound exposition, Scott will give key scriptural insights designed to convict, instruct, and equip believers in their walk (2 Tim. 3:16-17). Scripture Applied is based on the truth that God’s Word is sure and sufficient (Ps. 119:89; 2 Tim. 3:16-17), having transforming power to save and guide us with the Holy Spirit’s aid (Heb. 4:12; Ps. 119:105; 1 Cor. 2:14). As such, we must embrace this life-nourishing testimony to joyfully thrive with strength and wisdom (Deut. 8:3; Ps. 19:7-11). The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul; The testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple; The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; The commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes; The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever; The judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, Yea, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. Moreover by them Your servant is warned, And in keeping them there is great reward. (Ps.19:7-11)

Up Close and Personal: Grace on Display in the Local Church

2026/02/05

The local church is not some abstract idea with nameless members—it’s a family of real people who are personally connected with one other. That’s what we learn in Romans 16. After all the great doctrine in Paul’s letter, he greets real people with real names and commends the real labor they performed in the Roman church. His words read like a family photo album as he illustrates what grace looks like in a local church body. This is what God intended for church life—that it be alive and fruitful, like a family.

Daughters – Terrify the Devil by Embracing Your God-Given Role

2026/01/29

Message to daughters — when it comes to your gender, the most terrifying thing the Devil sees is a faithful mom raising her children at home. This beautiful picture is in direct odds with a culture at war with God. While feminism’s lies say that the Bible’s limitations on women are restrictive, they’re actually liberating. The submissive woman is wise and undaunted. She smiles at the future, not frightened by any fear (Prov. 31:25). She radiates the fragrance of Christ in every place. She’s formidable, because she’s following God’s perfect design for her role. So, parents — encourage your girls to exalt Christ by living out this lovely image.

The Physical Presence of the Church in the World

2026/01/22

The church is not simply an idea, a platform, or a live stream. It is physicality expressed in her people, buildings, writings, meetings, and evangelism. While many tend to despise the physical over the spiritual, the Bible objects to such a view with these doctrinal truths that manifest the physicality of the church: First, the incarnation. God saves through flesh and blood, not through a ghost. Second, we are image bearers. The invisible God is made visible through human lives. Third, every spiritual reality has a physical expression. What we believe shows up in where we go with our bodies, and what we build with our hands. So don’t minimize the physical aspects of church life — but serve the physical body of Christ with devoted purpose.

What Is Holding You Back? – Unconfessed Sin or God’s Greater Purpose?

2026/01/15

Every journey has its obstacles. But what, specifically, is holding you back? Sometimes it’s unconfessed sin, hidden bitterness, divided loyalties, delayed obedience, or broken relationships. Maybe you’re violating your soul and sacred relationships through pornography, and you wonder why you’re not moving forward. Yet not every roadblock is caused by unresolved sin. Even when you’re faithful, sometimes God places “hindrances” in your path which are not detours, but serve to accomplish His divine will. The latter was so with the Apostle Paul (Rom. 15:22-29). Knowing this, let us be wise to discern what’s holding us in check — our sin or God’s greater purpose. Sermon: https://churchandfamilylife.com/sermons/695b542611cff32e9efacef4

Therapist Not Needed – Everyday Christians Can Be Competent to Counsel

2026/01/08

Even in Christian circles, it’s commonly held that only professionals are competent to counsel. Yet the Apostle Paul obliterates this view in this statement to the local church in Rome: “Now I myself am confident concerning you, my brethren, that you also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another” (Rom. 15:14). The good news is this: The Lord Jesus doesn't just save your soul; He changes your life. And He doesn’t need “experts” to do it. He’s more than able to work, with the Holy Spirit’s aid, through everyday Christians who talk to one another, face-to-face, in a local church.

More Than Ritual - The Lord’s Supper Pictures the Gospel

2026/01/01

The Lord’s Supper is not a mere ritual. Nor is it empty symbolism. It’s the “Gospel made visible,” as Gerhardus Vos once said. Consider these six elements: (1) The Lord's Supper proclaims the substitutionary atonement of Jesus Christ (1 Cor. 11:24-25); (2) it is given for our spiritual nourishment and growth and grace (John 6:35, 57); (3) it confirms our union and communion with Christ (John 15:4); (4) it renews our thankfulness and our commitment to God (Ps. 50:14); (5) it declares our love and fellowship with one another (1 Cor. 10:17); and; (6) it points us to the Second Coming of Christ (1 Cor. 11:26).

His Name is Wonderful — Merry Christmas!

2025/12/25

This Christmas, we celebrate Christ’s incarnation, born of the Virgin Mary. The Prophet Isaiah foretold this hope, “For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given” (Isa. 9:6). In Bethlehem, Jesus was to be born of a woman, not a man (Gal. 4:4). This is vital, because substitutionary atonement requires a sinless substitute — the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. But Isaiah declared more: Jesus was to be called, “Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace” (Isa. 9:6). This was no fluke, but God’s resolved purpose, for, “The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this” (Isa. 9:7). In this we have an unstoppable hope: the Messiah has come — Merry Christmas!

Weak and Strong Together in Christ

2025/12/18

When we hope in God, we can hope have hope for one another. That’s because — whether we’re weak or strong — the same Savior is helping us in our journey, “Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit (Rom. 15:13). Knowing this, we’re called to receive one another as Christ has received us . . . in all our imperfections. This is what Christian community looks like — believers in their various stages of life, weaknesses, and misunderstandings of doctrine singing together in one accord as they hope, together, in Christ. Sermon: https://churchandfamilylife.com/sermons/69366a3816a3768dc4b231f1

Peace Over Preferences - How to Avoid Needless Church Division

2025/12/11

Needless debates can tear a church apart in no time. So how do the strong and weak avoid dividing over matters of conscience — considering that God has designed the church to be a family with differing levels of knowledge and maturity? Paul gives four corrections in Romans 14. First, don’t condemn your brother for something God doesn’t condemn them for. Second, don’t destroy God’s church for the sake of a food, day, custom, or conviction not clearly given in His Word. Third, seek the kingdom of God. And, fourth, pursue the things that make for peace. While we’re not to violate our conscience, we are to walk in faith, love, and kindness, forgiving one another as Christ has forgiven us.

Calling All Men – Build, Lead, & Create for Christ’s Glory

2025/12/04

Message to men — scrolling endlessly on your phones and arguing with people online is a dereliction of your sacred duties. God made men to build, govern, and reclaim. This doctrine of work begins with the Dominion Mandate (Gen. 1:28). Men are called to be dominion-takers, working with their wives in common cause to glorify Christ. To take dominion is not to exert evil domination; it’s to engage in creative stewardship. It’s expanding the usefulness of everything in the world that God made. So, men: Learn a new skill, provide for your family, and build something that matters — giving Christ the preeminence in all things (Col. 1:18).

Thankfulness Starts with Who God Is - Not What He Gives Us

2025/11/27

As you gather with your family this week, what are you thankful for? The truth is, it’s easy to “give thanks” when things are going our way. But Scripture calls us to “give thanks” in everything (1 Thess. 5:18), including our ups and downs. Our highest form of thanksgiving should not be for the food, family, and health God has blessed us with, but for God being who He is—holy, sovereign, majestic, independent, and unchanging. So rather than focus your gratitude this Thanksgiving on your outward blessings, thank God for being God. Sermon: https://churchandfamilylife.com/sermons/6923f50b8470e3d1e150b483

Bring Them Near - Worshiping God as One Family

2025/11/20

If we followed the Bible alone, would we divide the church by age — or worship as families, with all generations together during corporate worship? The Scripture’s witness is clear: Whether gathering in homes, tabernacles, temples, or the open air, God’s people, of all ages, are called to worship together (Deut. 31:12; Eph. 6:1-4). Children don’t need entertainment; they need a big vision for God. And the best way to teach them is the way the Bible tells us to teach them. So, parents — show your little children the seriousness of sin and the joys of redemption by bringing them to worship, with you, in God’s house.

Weak and Strong Believers – You Don’t Have to Be Twins to Be Friends

2025/11/13

How are weak and strong believers to treat one another in a local church? Paul’s charge to the strong is this, “Receive one who is weak in the faith, but not to disputes over doubtful things” (Rom. 14:1). The church needs this message today. While there are certain non-negotiable truths, not every hill is one to die on. Strong faith ought to show itself in a tender heart toward the weaker brother. The truth is, God is in charge of both the weak and strong, so we must stop fighting over preferences and give Him time to work. Sermon: https://churchandfamilylife.com/sermons/68f5d0774e3ca8de8fb387b1

Families Reformed - When the Gospel Takes Root

2025/11/06

The most countercultural thing you can do today is to repent and believe in the gospel and teach your children to do the same. This reason is this—the true gospel doesn’t just save souls; it rearranges your whole life. That’s what happened during the Protestant Reformation, and it’s happening again now. When God’s Word is restored to its proper authority and repentance is real, wonderful things happen in the family, as He turns the hearts of fathers to their children, restores homes, and builds a new generation of dedicated believers. Sermon: https://churchandfamilylife.com/sermons/69084580b8dda47046643f69

Wake Up and Fight!

2025/10/30

Have you become passive in your faith and slipped into autopilot? Cruising? Sleepwalking? The truth is, the Devil wants you checked out. He’d rather you nap than wage war for the cause of Christ. That’s why Paul gives this charge: “[I]t is high time to awake out of sleep” (Rom. 13:11). So, get up, get dressed for battle, and clothe yourself with Christ. Put on His humility, holiness, faith, and love. Make no provision for the flesh. Don’t just hear the word, but internalize it and flee temptation. Wake up and fight! Sermon: https://churchandfamilylife.com/sermons/68ec9604d5e03e6e6150ae12
