In this episode, we explore the rich biblical meaning behind the Passover as commanded in Deuteronomy 16. Though Israel still observes the Passover today, many miss the true spiritual significance that God intended, one that points us to His sanctifying work, His redeeming power, and the unity of His people.

We walk through three major themes found in the text. First, we look at the Sanctified Offering, the unblemished sacrifice, fully consumed, and made accessible to all, even those once considered unclean. Then, we examine the Special Observance of the month of Abib: the timing, the place, and the bread that reminded Israel of their suffering and their sudden deliverance. Finally, we consider the Solemn Assembly, the gathering of God’s people around one focus, His greatness and their redemption.

As we trace Israel’s Passover from the first month of their sacred calendar to the pilgrimage feasts that shaped their year, we uncover a rhythm of remembrance that ultimately points forward to Christ, our Passover Lamb. The episode closes by drawing a clear connection to the Lord’s Table, where believers today remember the sacrifice that secured our redemption.

If you want to better understand the Passover in its biblical context, and see how it prepares the way for Christ—this episode will deepen your appreciation for God’s deliverance, both then and now.

In this message, Pastor Browning explores the gracious heart of God revealed in the “Lord’s release.” Every seven years, Israel was commanded to forgive debts, free servants, and rest the land, not as an economic policy, but as a spiritual practice. It reminded them that everything they possessed was given by God, and that His blessing was meant to flow through them, not end with them.

Deuteronomy 15 teaches us that true generosity begins with remembering divine ownership. God gives, God blesses, and God calls His people to mirror His mercy. When we live with open hands, releasing, forgiving, and blessing others, we reflect His kingdom on earth.

Through this sermon, discover three enduring truths that shape the believer’s stewardship and compassion:

• The Release of the Lord — forgiving debts because all we have is His.

• The Reigning of the Nations — living as citizens of a greater kingdom.

• The Reason for Blessing — caring for the needy with cheerful hearts.

The “Lord’s release” points to the greatest release of all, when God forgave our debt of sin through Christ. As recipients of such grace, we are called to live the same way: grateful, generous, and guided by His heart for others.

In this episode, we explore The Special Ordaining — a moment when Jesus called twelve men, not merely to observe His ministry, but to be with Him and be sent by Him. From Mark 3, we see that ordination isn’t a ceremonial event reserved for a few — it’s a divine calling extended to every believer in Christ.

Pastor Browning unpacks what it means to be ordained unto good works (Ephesians 2:10), showing that discipleship is both relational and functional. Before we can go in His power, we must first come into His presence.

Through this message, discover four defining marks of every true disciple:

• Communion — learning to be with Him in fellowship.

• Commission — being sent by Him with authority.

• Confession — proclaiming His name without shame.

• Confirmation — living in the power of His Spirit.

Ordination, then, is not about status — it’s about surrender. It’s a call to walk closely with the Master, carry His message, and live by His power.
