In this final session of the Hebrews study, Merritt Anderson walks through Hebrews chapter 13 and brings the letter to its practical and deeply pastoral conclusion. After spending twelve chapters showing that Jesus is greater—greater than angels, Moses, the priesthood, sacrifices, and the old covenant—the writer of Hebrews closes with a call for believers to live faithfully in light of all Christ...

In this session of the Hebrews study, Merritt Anderson leads the group through Hebrews 12:5–11, exploring the often misunderstood topic of God’s discipline. Set within the broader context of endurance and perseverance, this passage reminds believers that hardship is not random or meaningless. Instead, it is a sign of something deeply personal: God is treating us as His children . Rather than punis...

In this session of the Hebrews study, Merritt Anderson leads the group through Hebrews 12:1–4 and begins unpacking what it means to live in light of everything the letter has been building toward. Following the “hall of faith” in chapter 11, the author now calls believers to action: run the race with endurance . But this is not a call to self-effort or striving in our own strength. Instead, the ke...

In this session of the Hebrews study, Merritt Anderson leads the group through Hebrews chapter 11—the well-known “hall of faith”—and shows how it serves as a response to everything the author has been building since the beginning of the letter. After establishing that Jesus is better than anything that came before—better than angels, Moses, the priesthood, and the old covenant—Hebrews now calls fo...

n this session of the Hebrews study, Shane Carpenter leads the group through Hebrews chapter 10—the climax of the author’s argument and the turning point of the letter. Building on everything that has come before, this chapter shows that the sacrifices of the old covenant were never meant to remove sin completely. They served as reminders and shadows, pointing forward to something greater. In cont...

In this session of the Hebrews study, Shane Carpenter leads the group through Hebrews chapter 9 as the author continues building the case that Jesus is the greater High Priest and mediator of a better covenant. The chapter revisits the Old Testament tabernacle and the rituals carried out by the priests under the first covenant. Those sacrifices were repeated year after year and could never fully c...

n this session of the Hebrews study, Merritt Anderson walks through Hebrews chapter 8 and highlights the central point of the writer’s argument: we have a High Priest who is far better than anything the old system could offer. Building on the themes introduced in earlier chapters, Hebrews reminds us that Jesus is not serving in an earthly sanctuary built by human hands. Instead, He ministers in th...

In this week’s study, Merritt Anderson walked us into one of the most fascinating chapters in Hebrews — chapter 7. Two thousand years before Jesus was born, a mysterious priest steps onto the pages of Scripture. He blesses Abraham. He receives a tithe. He’s called the king of righteousness and the king of peace. And then… he disappears. No genealogy. No origin story. No recorded death. Why would G...

In this session of the Thursday Morning Men’s Study a Merritt Anderson leads us through Hebrews chapter 6—one of the most sobering and often misunderstood passages in the New Testament. Addressing believers facing pressure and temptation to return to old religious patterns, Hebrews calls them to move beyond elementary foundations and press on to maturity. The warning is not against struggling fait...

In this session of the Thursday Morning Men’s Study, Merritt Anderson walks through Hebrews chapter 5, showing how Jesus is not only greater than every earthly priest, but also the perfect and compassionate High Priest we desperately need. Building on Hebrews 4:14–16, the group reflects on the stunning reality that through Christ, what was once a throne of judgment has become a throne of grace—whe...

In this session from the Thursday Morning Men’s Study , Mac Cavin leads us through Hebrews chapter 4 and its profound invitation to “enter His rest.” The writer of Hebrews warns us not to repeat Israel’s mistake of hearing God’s promise without responding in faith. Instead, we are called to trust fully in the finished work of Christ — ceasing from our own striving and resting in what He has alread...

In this third session of our Men’s Morning Study through Hebrews, Merritt Anderson leads us through Hebrews chapter 3, where the preacher makes a bold and necessary comparison: Christ is better than Moses. Writing to believers under intense pressure, Hebrews addresses men who are walking faithfully, those who are wavering, and others who are in danger of walking away altogether. By calling his aud...

In this second session of our Men’s Morning Study through Hebrews, we turn to Hebrews 2:1–4 and encounter the first warning passage of the letter. Flowing directly out of the truth that Christ is better than angels, the author now presses the truth home with urgency: we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away. This passage reminds us that spiritual drift rarely hap...

In this opening session of our Men’s Morning Study, we begin a new journey through the New Testament letter (sermon) of Hebrews. Hebrews is rich with Old Testament quotations and allusions, helping us see how the entire story of Scripture finds its fulfillment in Jesus Christ. Written to believers under pressure, this sermon speaks to those walking faithfully, those tempted to compromise, and thos...

In 1 Corinthians 12, Paul turns the church’s attention from comparison and division to unity, purpose, and the work of the Holy Spirit. While the Corinthians were elevating certain gifts and diminishing others, Paul reminds them—and us—that every believer has been uniquely empowered not for personal status, but for the building of the church. In this week’s teaching, Mac Cavin helps us see the bea...

In 1 Corinthians 11:1–16, Paul invites the church to imitate him as he imitates Christ—calling believers to humility, order, and a posture of honoring God in both heart and practice. In this message, Walt Zweigle unpacks a passage that is often confusing, sometimes controversial, and deeply rooted in first-century culture. Through clear explanation and modern examples, we see how Paul uses traditi...

In 1 Corinthians 9, Paul uses his own life as a powerful example of what it means to lay down personal rights for the sake of the gospel. Though entitled to financial support, honor, and freedom just like any other apostle, Paul willingly chooses the path of sacrifice so that nothing — nothing — would hinder the message of Christ. In this episode, Ed Taubensee walks us through Paul’s heart, his re...

In 1 Corinthians 8, Paul challenges believers to rethink their freedoms in light of love. This episode explores how the Corinthians’ confidence in their “knowledge” was actually harming weaker brothers and sisters — and why true spiritual maturity is measured not by what we know , but by how we love . Through real-life examples and the Corinthian context, we see how personal liberties — whether fo...

In 1 Corinthians 7, Paul turns to one of the most personal and practical subjects for believers — marriage, sexuality, and singleness. This episode explores God’s design for intimacy in marriage, the call to purity for singles, and the deeper picture of Christ’s covenant love that all relationships are meant to reflect. Through honest discussion and pastoral insight, we’re reminded that whether ma...

In 1 Corinthians 6, Paul confronts two deep fractures in the Corinthian church — believers taking each other to court and tolerating sexual sin that distorts their witness. This teaching unpacks how the gospel transforms both our relationships and our bodies. Paul reminds us that we have been washed, sanctified, and justified — and therefore, we’re called to live differently. Through this powerful...

This week’s teaching explores Paul’s call to purity and the imagery of the unleavened bread , showing how pride and permissiveness can quietly grow like yeast if left unchecked. Through Scripture, Old Testament context, and personal reflection, we’re reminded that true love for God and one another means dealing honestly with sin — in humility and sincerity.

In this episode, we continue our journey through 1 Corinthians, where Paul challenges the Corinthian church—and us—to pursue faithfulness over perfection. We unpack Paul’s words about being “stewards of the mysteries of God” , exploring what it means to live as humble, gospel-centered men who are faithful with what we’ve been given. From correcting judgmental attitudes to navigating the tension be...

In 1 Corinthians 3, Paul confronts the Corinthians for their immaturity, divisions, and misplaced confidence in leaders. He calls them back to the true foundation: Christ alone. Our calling is not to boast in men but to be faithful, knowing that God alone gives the growth. Key Takeaways: Spiritual immaturity shows itself in jealousy, strife, and divisions. Leaders are servants; only God gives the...

Paul reminds the Corinthians that the power of the gospel rests not in human wisdom or eloquence, but in Christ and Him crucified. In this study of 1 Corinthians 2, we see how the Spirit reveals God’s wisdom and why the gospel produces humility, not arrogance. Key Takeaways: Paul relied on the Spirit’s power, not human eloquence, to proclaim Christ. True wisdom comes only from God and is revealed...

In this study of 1 Corinthians 1:18–31 , we explore how Paul contrasts the wisdom of God with the wisdom of the world. The Corinthians, caught up in divisions, pride, and misplaced confidence, had lost sight of the cross at the center of their faith. Through this passage, Paul reminds us that God chose what is weak and foolish in the world to display His power and grace — leaving no room for boast...
