What we look at directly impacts the direction we head and, ultimately, the outcome of our lives. In our March 2024 Ironworks study, we examine what we should focus on by contrasting that with the things that impair our vision. Join us as we search the Scriptures for examples of men with spiritual vision problems and learn from their mistakes to correct our own sight.

Do you have a picture of what a man of God looks like? The Bible actually gives us several examples, including Elijah. As we study a snapshot from Elijah’s life in 1 King 17 in our February 2024 Ironworks study, we see what qualities made him a man of God, how he was used mightily because of this, and how we, as men, can emulate his example.

Abraham takes a detour down to Egypt in Genesis 12:8-20 that puts his wife in a compromising position, derails his relationship with God, and ultimately sets up a scenario that wreaks havoc to this day. In our January 2024 Ironworks study, we look at what caused Abraham to take this detour, what all the ramifications were, how we can avoid going off course, and what to do if we go astray.

Since way back in the Garden of Eden in Genesis 3:1-6, Satan has had one basic playbook to trick men into turning away from God and His Word – and it is still just as effective today. In our November 2023 Ironworks study, we break down Satan’s lies to easily identify the scriptural weapons we can use to defend ourselves against being bamboozled by Beelzebub.

2 Timothy 2:1-26 gives men a comprehensive and varied list of roles they should be fulfilling within their lives, the church, and the community. In our October 2023 Ironworks study, we look into these functions to help us determine our objectives, how we can improve in fulfilling our duties, and why we should apply these to our walks with the Lord.

What does it mean to be a faithful man? And why does it even matter? In our September 2023 Ironworks study, we look at the charge to be faithful in 1 Corinthians 4:1-2 and seek to understand why it matters now and in eternity, see what being a successful steward looks like, and learn how faithfulness can manifest in our lives as men.

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.

Nehemiah has some serious issues to deal with in Nehemiah 5 as the people come before him with a host of troubles. In our April 2023 Ironworks study, guest pastor Kaipo Amina breaks down Nehemiah’s response in dealing with the people’s problems while giving us actionable ways to respond with godly leadership, grace, and compassion when faced with our own difficult situations.

An incident in Judges 8:1-3 offends the Ephraimites, and their lingering resentment causes long-term and devastating consequences. In our March 2023 Ironworks study, we learn how we can avoid being offended and letting the seed of bitterness grow into a tree of trouble.

Moses petitions Pharaoh for permission to leave Egypt in Exodus 8-10, but Pharaoh will not consent and proposes a series of compromises. In our February 2023 Ironworks study, we look at these compromises, see how men are asked to make similar concessions today, and learn how we should instead stand firm in what God has called us to do.
