SEASON 3 | BIBLE STUDY PODCAST - Mission Hills Church

EXCITING NEWS!

August 19, 2021 • Micah Harrison, Matt Winter, Kelly Meadows

We are gearing up for Season 4 and we have some exciting changes we are announcing! We are combining the Mission Hills Men’s and Women’s Bible Study Podcasts into one channel! If you are already subscribed to this channel, then you are in the right place! New episodes will continue to be released here. For the fall season of 2021, Matt Winter and Micah Harrison will be leading you through some smaller books of the Bible (Jude, 2nd and 3rd John, Philemon, and Obadiah). We are thrilled to be able to serve both audiences by letting you hear from more voices and perspectives. Matt and Micah’s episodes will start dropping in early October. Kelly Brown and Kristy Allen will be back in early 2022 going through Jen Wilkin’s God of Creation with you. In addition to the studies, we will have a new segment at the end of each podcast where a combination of us will be discussing ways to deepen your own study of the bible. As always you can find updates in our Facebook Group or on our webpage. See you in October!

WEEK 10 | HEBREWS 12 & 13

February 3, 2021 • Kristy Allen, Kelly Meadows

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

January 20, 2021 • Kristy Allen, Kelly Meadows

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.

WEEK 8 | HEBREWS 10:1-39

January 7, 2021 • Kristy Allen, Kelly Meadows

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

December 16, 2020 • Kristy Allen, Kelly Meadows

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

December 2, 2020 • Kristy Allen, Kelly Meadows

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 (heaven) and offers us a better covenant of hope based on better promises. So, therefore, it’s a continuation of the author’s argument to the original audience to stand firm because they have the better thing.

WEEK 5 | HEBREWS 6

November 18, 2020 • Kristy Allen, Kelly Meadows

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

October 21, 2020 • Kristy Allen, Kelly Meadows

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 of grace to receive help for those areas.

WEEK 3 | HEBREWS 3 – 4:13

October 7, 2020 • Kristy Allen, Kelly Meadows

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 of grace to receive help for those areas.

WEEK 2 | HEBREWS 1-2

September 23, 2020 • Kristy Allen, Kelly Meadows

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 | HEBREWS INTRODUCTION

September 9, 2020 • Kristy Allen, Kelly Meadows

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.

WELCOME TO SEASON THREE

August 19, 2020 • Kristy Allen, Kelly Meadows

In this episode, we introduce our Season 3 study! We will be going through Better: A Study of Hebrews by Jen Wilkin where we will discover why Jesus is better than anything and how this belief can ground our confidence and hope in him and the way in which we live in this world. New episodes will drop every other week starting September 9th, 2020!
