  • How Much More Shall Your Father Give? Matthew 7:9-11 | Sermon on the Mount Pt 34
    Watch with TopLobsta on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TopLobsta
    Merch: https://www.toplobsta.com

    How much more shall your Father give? In Matthew 7:9-11 (KJV) Jesus asks if a son asks bread, will his father give him a stone?
    Sermon on the Mount Pt 34: Matt Hepner and TopLobsta pick up at Matthew 7:9 and walk the Father who gives good gifts. Verse 12 is next.

    After Pt 33 on ask, seek, knock (Matthew 7:7-8), Jesus stays in the same breath. Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? We read Matthew 7:9-11 (KJV) and sit with that how much more. Verse 12, the golden rule, is coming next in the series.

  • Ask, Seek, Knock: Matthew 7:7-8 | Sermon on the Mount Pt 33
    Watch with TopLobsta on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TopLobsta
    Merch: https://www.toplobsta.com

    What does ask, seek, knock mean? In Matthew 7:7-8 (KJV) Jesus says ask and it shall be given you, seek and ye shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you.
    Sermon on the Mount Pt 33: Matt Hepner and TopLobsta show why continual fellowship with God is how you discern people and live.

    After Pt 32 on dogs, swine, and walking away, verse 7 is the door hinge: you do not judge by your own intellect. You ask, seek, and knock. Matt reads Matthew 7:7-8 (KJV), then walks how that posture shapes friendships, work, and going after God first, through Colossians 2, Proverbs 8, Jeremiah 29, Psalm 10, Psalm 40, Solomon's ask in 1 Kings 3, Genesis 2-3, Judges, Paul's conscience in Acts, and Isaiah 53. Next the series still has Matthew 7:9-12 ahead.

    Tozer's four passages for how to be filled: present your vessel (Romans 12:1-2), ask (Luke 11:11-13), obey (Acts 5:32), and have faith (Galatians 3:2-3). Along the way: disturbance and emptiness before the filling, why despair does not earn the Spirit but breaks up fallow ground, Moody's empty glass, and the anointing that is not gradual. Pt 6 of Tozer on the Holy Spirit.

  • An Israelite Indeed With No Guile | John 1:47
    Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngvAo-pbkDs

    Nathanael: an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile — John 1:43-51 walked through G. Campbell Morgan's study.
    The Great Physician (G. Campbell Morgan Sermon Breakdown). Matt Hepner and TopLobsta go through Morgan's study of how Jesus dealt personally with individual people in the Gospels, one person per episode.

    How Jesus saw Nathanael (Bartholomew) under the fig tree: Philip finds him, Jesus names him an Israelite indeed with no guile, and promises greater things — heaven open and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man. From G. Campbell Morgan's classic chapter on Nathanael.

    Primary passage: John 1:43-51 (KJV)

    Also in this episode: John 1:47 · John 21 · Matthew · Mark · Luke (Bartholomew / Nathanael identity)

  • He Cleared Vertigo Without Machines
    Vertigo isn't always "crystals in the ear" — a DPT walks through BPPV, neuritis, and why the neck guards when the brain feels threatened.
    Interview Session: Matt Hepner sits down with Aneesh Mampachail, DPT, and Thomas after Aneesh cleared Jessica's vertigo without machines or X-rays.

    Matt brought Jessica to Aneesh after years of dizziness and a chiropractic path that didn't stick. Aneesh explains the major vertigo categories (BPPV/otoconia, neuritis, PPPD), how a boat ride can temporarily mask vestibular dysfunction, and how cervical guarding (VCR/VSR reflexes) locks the neck when the brain reads a threat. Thomas works alongside Aneesh; together they talk diagnosis by palpation, progressive home exercise, and God's design of the inner-ear XYZ canals. Conversation also ranges into manners, India, Catholic schooling, and everyday courtesy — always circling back to healing and faith.

    Also in this episode: vestibular anatomy · BPPV / otoconia · neuritis · PPPD · cervical guarding · Jessica's vertigo case

  • Ministers Are Just Under-Rowers | 1 Corinthians 4:1-14
    In 1 Corinthians 4:1-14 (KJV), ministers of Christ are under-rowers and stewards of the mysteries of God, and a steward must be found faithful.
    1 Corinthians Part 5 (Corinthians for Dummies) with Matt Hepner and the Raven: let no man deceive himself, and fools for Christ's sake.

    Matt and the Raven finish 1 Corinthians 3 with let no man deceive himself, the wisdom of this world, and why everyone wants to be the victim. In chapter 4 they dig into the Greek behind minister (an under-rower) and steward, why the King James is worth the work when men died to translate the Bible, and judging nothing before the time, because the Lord will make manifest the counsels of the hearts. They close on what you have that you didn't receive and we are fools for Christ's sake. Next: Part 6 picks up in 1 Corinthians 4:15.

  • They Turn Again and Rend You | Matthew 7:6 | Sermon on the Mount
    Give not that which is holy unto the dogs: Matthew 7:6 (KJV) — they trample holy things, then turn again and rend you.
    Sermon on the Mount Pt 32: Matt Hepner and TopLobsta unpack dogs, swine, walking away, and why rend is what a demon does.

    After Pt 31's pearls-before-swine setup, we stay in Matthew 7:6 and watch Paul shake his raiment in Acts 18 and Acts 20: "your blood be upon your own heads." 2 Timothy 3 names perilous men in the church; 2 Peter 2 shows the dog returned to his vomit and the sow to the mire — false teachers who monetize holy things. Blue Letter Bible on "rend" lands on Mark 9:18 and Luke 9:42: the same word for a demon throwing a person down. "Holy" can mean saints; pearls can be people (Matthew 13:45-46). Next week: Matthew 7:7-12 — ask, seek, knock, and intimacy with God.

    Primary passage: Matthew 7:6 (KJV)
    Also in this episode: Acts 18:1-6 · Acts 20:17-28 · 2 Timothy 3:1-5 · 2 Peter 2:1-22 · Proverbs 26:11 · Mark 9:18 · Luke 9:42 · Matthew 13:44-46 · Jeremiah 11:14 · Matthew 7:7-12

  • God Gives the Holy Spirit to Them That Obey | Acts 5:32
    Acts 5:32 says God gives the Holy Ghost "to them that obey him" - A.W. Tozer Sermon Breakdown Pt 5, "The Promised Filling of the Holy Spirit."
    Matt Hepner and TopLobsta read Tozer on being filled with the Spirit instantly, not gradually, and why we are as full as we want to be.

    Tozer opens with three passages: Acts 5:32, Luke 11:13 and Galatians 3:2-3. Persons filled with the Spirit always knew they were filled; it was an instant act, not a gradual filling. Along the way we talk about testing the spirits, gold dust and angel feathers, and whether being slain in the Spirit is a learned response. Then Tozer's conditions: the Holy Spirit will expect obedience to the written Word, He will not tolerate the self sins, and you will not run your own life after the Holy Ghost is given control. We close on hunger and thirst, disturbance before the filling, and being happy with God alone. Pt 5 of Tozer's ten messages on the Holy Spirit.
