  • After-Christmas Story

    Sunday, December 26th, 2004

    Think of history as an immense Broadway drama: for thousands of years, God meticulously sets the stage, then sends in His only Son as the key player in a carefully-crafted redemption story. How odd, though, that God would usher Him onstage nearly unnoticed–a nursing infant in an obscure little town, uncelebrated except by a few [...]

  • Be Strong, Be Courageous…and Act

    Saturday, February 4th, 2006

    What’s the difference between the “Promised Land” and the “Possessed Land?” God initiates His offer, but we are required to show up and seize the prize. “Be Strong, Be Courageous…and Act” is a powerful “word of wisdom” that describes in vivid detail how we can find ourselves on the map of God’s sovereign purpose. Just [...]

    Daniel was privileged to speak at the Canadian Foursquare Convention earlier this year.

  • Cell Groups: Building Credibility

    Tuesday, May 12th, 2009

    You don’t have to be a pastor, teacher, or church staff member to disciple others—in fact, what you do without a title tells more about your heart than what you do with one. The Kingdom is all about getting to know people and letting them get to know you; it’s about a purposeful and gentle [...]

    In this series, Dr. Brown will help you see how the Kingdom of God works best through ordinary people doing ordinary things.

  • Dead in Sin; Alive in Christ

    Saturday, March 19th, 2005

    Have you ever wondered (or tried to explain to someone) why doing good things isn’t quite enough to “get into heaven”? The new Christians of the early church were wondering the same thing. As Paul explained in his letter to the Ephesians, every single one of us is locked inside a washing machine stuck on [...]

  • Dig a Well–To the Left or To the Right

    Sunday, May 11th, 2008

    It’s fairly normal for us to think that finding God’s will is like looking for a bull’s-eye painted upon something we can see–a “perfect” person, circumstance or place. In this teaching, Daniel opens up the accounts of both Abraham and Isaac to dispel that myth. How Abraham ended up in his inherited land was quite [...]

  • Escape Spiritual Lies, Traps and Traumas (Part 1)

    Saturday, May 28th, 2005

    “Everyone did what was right in his own eyes.” That could sound normal, expected and even exemplary–if there were no other recourse except our own devices. Unfortunately, when everyone “does his own thing”, pride, addiction, distress and rebellion surface, wreaking havoc with everyone’s life and causing people to perish. Join Daniel this week as he [...]

  • Escape Spiritual Lies, Traps and Traumas (Part 2)

    Saturday, June 4th, 2005

    Archaeologists look beneath the surface of the soil to find answers about human life. It’s no surprise that archaeology supports the historical validity of the Bible, but the Scriptures can offer even deeper answers about how we humans are made, and even how to deal with our difficulties. By examining the Book of Ezra, Daniel [...]

    Carvings of the Gods If we open the Old Testament like we’d open a physics textbook (not to be daunting to those of us who aren’t very scientific) we’ll find clear instruction about the physical and the non-physical world. In this message, Daniel shows us from Psalm 106 why we tend to cycle self-hating or [...]

    Snares of the Idols Everyone knows how much the experiences of life can shape the way we walk into the future. When we’re preoccupied with resentment or rejection, for instance, the pain that caused our original hurt never seems to go away–no matter how much time goes by. But it’s amazing how much the Bible, [...]

  • God has a Plan “B” for Your Marriage Video Series

    Wednesday, October 12th, 2011

    After the Fall, the differences between men and women suddenly seemed peculiar instead of complementary. Although the attraction remained, the relationship required constant work (not to mention some suffering).So God came up with another design: a “Plan B” for redeeming the marriage relationship,calling us to serve and submit to our spouses as the key to [...]

  • He is Still With Us

    Sunday, December 24th, 2006

    The most congenial “Merry Christmas” from the lips of a well-wisher can feel pretty hollow if you’re wrestling with the darkness. Even the name given to Jesus before His birth–Emmanuel, or “God With Us”–can strike a hollow chord. If He’s “with us”, then why do I feel alone and oppressed? In this Christmas Eve service [...]

    Rarely do you hear a satisfying answer as to why, more often than not, God seems so mean in the Old Testament. Here, at last, is that answer. Like any good parent, God is willing to be misunderstood in order to save His kids from great peril! Combining Bible understanding, hilarious storytelling, and practical applications, [...]

  • How to Mobilize Your Church

    Thursday, March 10th, 2011

    Addressing one of the greatest concerns of pastors worldwide, Dr. Daniel A. Brown explains why it’s so hard to encourage volunteerism in the church: there’s a direct link between the lack of pastoral discipleship and people’s lack of interest in serving. Daniel explains the power of mentoring, reveals why pastors commonly don’t disciple, and discusses [...]

    Sunday, March 1st, 2009

    Luke 4:42-5:39 If Jesus knows us intimately…why on earth would He limit Himself to losers like us for accomplishing His work in the world? That could be a real problem for anybody—but especially for Jesus, who could do it all Himself (and do it so much better, at that). As Daniel carefully explains Jesus’ “problem,” [...]

  • Little Things from Little People

    Monday, November 22nd, 2010

    Daniel teaches back home at The Coastlands, about how God wants to use us, everyday. We don’t need to wait until ‘someday’, or until we “have our acts together”. God wants to use willing people, where we are at, to do little things. When we are obedient to the little things God leads us (ordinary [...]
