Ironworks | Righteous Anger

Jesus’ Example of Appropriate Anger

May 13, 2023 • Brett Meador • John 2:13–22

After seeing the atrocities that were taking place in the Temple, Jesus deals with the situation in John 2:13-22 by driving the money changers away, overturning tables, and issuing commands to remove what did not belong. In our May 2023 Ironworks study, we look at Jesus’ intense reaction and see how it gives us an example of being angry for the right reasons, how to call out sin appropriately, and why it is crucial to keep our reactions balanced and under control.

Ironworks | Are You Listening?

October 19, 2024 • Brett Meador • 1 Samuel 3

Eli the Priest lived in a culture that had neglected God’s Word, personally failed to follow the Lord’s instructions, and had let his two sons run wild. Consequently, God judged Eli for his bad behavior and called the young boy Samuel to be His prophet, knowing he would hear and obey the Word of the Lord. In our October 2024 Ironworks study, we break down this story to learn how to avoid going off course like Eli by failing to listen and instead be those who hear and obey God’s voice like Samuel.

Ironworks | Stick With The Program

September 21, 2024 • Brett Meador • 2 Timothy 3

You don’t have to look very hard to see that we live in troubling times that resemble the last days Paul talks about in 2 Timothy 3:1-17. In our September 2024 Ironworks study, we learn what the characteristics of men will be during this time, what will happen as a consequence, and how to instead be men of God who wholeheartedly follow His Word.

Ironworks | Where Do You Sit?

May 11, 2024 • Brett Meador • Genesis 18:1–3, Genesis 19:1–3

We compare and contrast where Abraham and Lot were sitting in Genesis 18:1-3 and 19:1-3 to see how where they positioned themselves ultimately influenced their trajectory (and world history!). In our May 2024 Ironworks study, we challenge ourselves to examine where we are sitting to ensure we are worshiping God correctly, avoiding destruction for ourselves and our families, and leading those around us to see our hope in Christ.
