In this expositional sermon, Pastor Brandon Scroggins of Reformation Baptist Church unpacks the Apostle Paul’s teaching in 2 Corinthians 10:12–18, addressing the danger of self-commendation, comparison, and the true measure of a faithful ministry. Drawing from Old and New Testament examples—from Gideon to King Herod, from Corinth to modern culture—this message confronts our temptation to boast in ourselves rather than in the Lord.
We live in an age dominated by social media boasting, insecurity masked by pride, and spiritual one-upmanship. But Paul gives us a different metric: faithfulness, humility, God-given authority, and Christ-exalting boasting.
🔍 Whether you're a church leader, a parent, or a young believer wrestling with comparison, this sermon offers rich, biblical clarity and deep encouragement.
As we enter a new year, Pastor Brandon Scroggins calls us to step back and ask a foundational question: Where are we going—and why? In this sermon, we examine the biblical DNA, covenantal commitments, and mission of Reformation Baptist Church.
Drawing from Scripture, church history, and the powerful example of King Alfred the Great, this message lays out the aim, trajectory, and calling of the Christian life—both individually and corporately. This is a call to intentional living, covenant faithfulness, sacrificial love, and joyful obedience under the lordship of Christ.
This sermon unpacks:
The purpose of the local church
Why covenant membership matters
How Christians are called to love Christ supremely
What it means to care for one another as a covenant family
Why every believer is saved to serve
The centrality of family worship and discipleship
The mission of gospel witness to the nations
Walking faithfully in a decaying culture
Trusting God’s sovereignty as we march forward together
“We are not saved to sit. We are saved to serve.”

Join us for this special post-Christmas sermon where Pastor Brandon Scroggins steps away from our regular exposition in 2 Corinthians to refocus our hearts on the mission and convictions of Reformation Baptist Church. Each year, the first sermon after Christmas is a time to renew our covenant commitments, evaluate our trajectory, and remind ourselves why we exist as a local body of believers.
Pastor Brandon walks through our church covenant, revisits the resolutions of Jonathan Edwards, and casts a vision for 2026 rooted in Scripture, prayer, holiness, and joyful, gospel-centered mission. If you're a member, new attender, or just exploring what Reformation Baptist Church is all about—this is the sermon to hear.
