A Framework for Biblical Interpretation
Scripture is often misapplied not because people reject the Bible, but because they apply commands meant for one category of life to an entirely different category.
In this teaching, we lay out a clear framework for biblical interpretation that helps distinguish between personal ethics, societal responsibility, cultural formation, civilizational wisdom, and ecclesiastical authority.
By understanding the category a passage belongs to, we can avoid flattening Scripture, misusing compassion to undermine justice, or applying personal commands to public institutions.
This framework helps keep interpretation grounded, contextual, and faithful to authorial intent.
Topics covered include:
• Interpersonal commands and personal ethics
• Societal responsibility, justice, and order
• Cultural values and moral formation
• Civilizational worldview and national responsibility
• Ecclesiastical doctrine and church authority
Faithful interpretation requires more than quoting Scripture. It requires understanding how and where it applies.
Scripture does not contradict itself, but it does distinguish.
Breaking the Grip of Anxiety, Part 3
In this teaching we explore practical, biblical strategies for navigating anxiety, panic, and overwhelming emotions. Pastor Brandon explains how Scripture anchors the mind, strengthens the heart, and restores clarity in moments when fear rises. These principles help believers understand what is happening in their bodies, how to respond with truth, and how to walk in courage even when emotions feel intense.
Below are three powerful reference guides included in the video.
WHEN ANXIETY BEGINS TO RISE
1. My feelings are not my master. Christ remains. Hebrews 13:8
2. I will set my mind on things above, not on fear. Colossians 3:2
3. Anxiety is part of living in a fallen body. Everyone experiences it at times.
4. This wave will pass. I will stay the course. Psalm 56:3
5. Anxiety cannot control me. The Spirit gives self control. Galatians 5:23
6. Anxiety is discomfort, not danger.
7. I will breathe, pray, and anchor my mind in truth until peace returns.
WHEN I AM HAVING A PANIC ATTACK
1. No one dies from panic. I will steady my mind in truth.
2. The peak will pass quickly. God is with me. Isaiah 41:10
3. Panic is intense but not dangerous.
4. I have survived panic before. I will again by God’s grace.
5. These feelings are not my fault and they will not last.
6. These sensations will fade even if I do nothing.
7. God has given me a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7
GOING INTO A STRESSFUL SITUATION
1. I have faced hard things before. God was faithful then and now.
2. God calls me to courage, not helplessness. Joshua 1:9
3. I have more control than I think. I will meet this moment with faith.
4. This will pass. I will endure. James 1:2 to 4
5. When this is over I will be grateful that I trusted God and pressed through.
May these truths guide you to clarity, strength, and renewed peace in Christ.

The Mountains of God: From Eden to the New Jerusalem
Brandon Holthaus views
From Genesis to Revelation, mountains are where God reveals Himself, establishes His authority, judges rebellion, and restores what was lost.
In this in-depth biblical teaching, we trace the theme of the Mountains of God—from the heavenly throne room described in Ezekiel, to Eden, Sinai, Moriah, Zion, and ultimately the New Jerusalem. Scripture reveals that mountains are not merely geographic locations, but theological signals representing God’s throne, kingdom, covenant, and rule.
This message explores:
• Why God consistently reveals Himself on mountains
• Why Satan fell from the mountain of God
• Why Eden was more than a garden—it was a mountain sanctuary
• How Babel functioned as a counterfeit mountain
• Why major biblical revelations occur on mountains
• Why Mount Zion is the center of the Messianic Kingdom
• How Christ will reign from Zion forever
• Why the Bible ends where it began—with the Mountain of God descending to earth
The battle of the ages is ultimately about authority—God’s mountain versus the mountains of rebellion. Scripture assures us that all rival mountains will be cast down, Christ will reign from Zion, and those who belong to Him will rule and reign with Him.
This is not speculation. This is the biblical storyline from Eden to eternity.
