God’s written word is the clearest message he gave to us. He wanted so badly to communicate with us that he used human authors over centuries to write us a message. So even if it’s just a few minutes while you’re driving, working out at the gym, or making dinner, we want to help you get a little bit more of God’s Word in your life. It doesn’t matter if you’ve never touched a Bible or read it every day. We are here to help you study God’s Word so you can take one step toward becoming more like Jesus and joining him on mission.

In this episode, Matt and Neil continue to nerd out in Ezra, but we give you the main points upfront! We talk about the Hebrew understanding of prophecy and give you some tips on how to interpret it in the Bible.

Ezra Chapter 7
5/26/2021
In this episode, we finally meet Ezra, the man. Matt and Neil discuss Ezra chapter 7, where Ezra himself finally shows up. This chapter is shorter, so we get to dive deeper than usual. We see God again working in the heart of a new king to support Israel. Ezra interprets history through the lens of God’s sovereignty. The king gives Ezra a crazy amount of resources and power to Ezra. And we get to spend more time this episode talking about how we live out our faith.

Ezra Chapter 2
3/24/2021
In this episode, Matt and Neil discuss the first return to the land led by Zerubbabel in Ezra chapter 2. Neil struggles to pronounce some Hebrew names. But really…we talk about why the list of names is important and what we can take away from it. We talk about taking a “step of faith”…well the Israelites walked 900 miles on faith. And we explain the mysterious role of the Urim and Thummim. The story of the Bible can be summarized as God’s pursuit of us. From the Garden to the end of time,...

Ezra Chapter 1
3/10/2021
After years of living in exile in Babylon, a prophecy from decades before is finally coming to pass. God has begun to fulfill his promise to restore the nation, land, and temple to Israel. Matt and Neil dive into the first chapter of Ezra. It’s nations conquering nations, and God is working behind it all. Did you know God used Cyrus the Great and the Medo-Persian empire to work out his own purposes in the world? Why is Israel living in exile? Who is Cyrus King of Persia and why is he...

Week 10 | Hebrews 12 & 13
2/3/2021
We are in the final chapters of Hebrews where the author is calling these Hebrew Christians to faith and endurance by building on the great cloud of witnesses from Hebrews 11 and reminding them of their God who was faithful to them. In chapter 12, we see the push towards endurance in daily living until the Lord ushers in his completed kingdom someday. In chapter 13, we wrap up with concluding exhortations and remarks for this audience and we hone in on how they apply to us today.

Week 9 | Hebrews 11
1/20/2021
In Chapter 11, we look at the famous “Hall of Faith” in all of its gritty glory. We see models of faithful yet imperfect men and women taking their next right steps of faith often in trying circumstances; all without seeing the end result and only being able to trust the promise given to them. As New Covenant believers, we get to see the resolution to their faith - we see what was promised - our resurrected Christ. And we get to partake in the better, more complete relationship with Christ....

Week 8 | Hebrews 10
1/7/2021
In chapter 10, the author repeats the importance of Christ’s once for all sacrifice and what that should elicit from us: faith, hope, love, and obedience.

Week 7 | Hebrews 9
12/16/2020
In chapter 9 we see that our great High Priest has offered himself as our better sacrifice which ushers us into the better Tabernacle (Heaven). We have direct access to the throne of God through Christ’s once-for-all sacrifice.

Week 6 | Hebrews 7:1-8:13
12/2/2020
In Week 6 we look at how the Old Testament figure of Melchizedek foreshadows Christ’s fulfillment as our King of Righteousness and Peace. We see that both Melchizedek and Christ are from a different priestly order than the Levitical order and that they are both Kings. With this new order, the author of Hebrews makes the argument that a new covenant was then needed through the fulfillment of Christ which nullifies the old law. Christ as our priest-king reigns forever in the better tent...

Week 5 | Hebrews 6
11/18/2020
In Week 5, we pick up in the middle of the warning to grow in maturity. The author urges the Hebrews to be carried forward by God to maturity, to bear fruit, and to live out their better salvation because it is Jesus who guarantees the new better oath and covenant rendering the old one obsolete. He ends the passage by reminding them that the way through trouble is not by backtracking but through anchoring more fully in the promise of salvation through Christ.

Week 4 | Hebrews 4:14 - 5
10/21/2020
In Week 4, we continue our rhythm of “Jesus is better” followed by a warning. This week, we examine Jesus as our better High Priest, seated at the right hand of God on high and able to sympathize with our human weakness. We set the stage for our next warning at the end of Chapter 5 - a warning against falling away from the faith - with a contrast between the mature and immature Christian.

Week 3 | Hebrews 3 - 4:13
10/7/2020
In this episode, we consider Jesus as better than Moses. Moses was Israel’s deliverer, but he still struggled with disbelief and disobedience in his humanity, to the point that he wasn’t able to enter into the rest of the promised land. But Christ is our better deliverer with his perfect sacrifice and his better rest. We can enter that rest with our obedience to Christ through our belief and our submission to scripture which reveals our sin and weakness so that we can draw near to the throne...

Week 2 | Hebrews 1-2
9/23/2020
In this episode, we see that Jesus has been appointed by God and that makes him superior to the angels. We are warned that we should not drift from the gospel even when times get rough. We must stay close to our Savior because he made the way of defeating death, being our perfect sacrifice, and experiencing humanity so that he can empathize as our high priest.

Week 1 | An Introduction to Hebrews
9/9/2020
In this episode, we set the stage for the book of Hebrews by looking at the background and context in which it was written. Some of the central themes found in Hebrews include the superiority of Christ and how this builds the foundation for confidence and steadfastness in our faith journey.
