Reagan McClenny preaches from 1 John 5:21, "Little children, keep yourselves from idols," exploring why John ends his letter with this warning. He examines three ways idolatry can manifest—placing anything before God, worshiping a false version of God, and the progressive nature of sin leading back to idolatry—drawing on Colossians 3, 1 Peter 4, Exodus 32, and Joshua 24.

Reagan McClenny continues a class on the Holy Spirit, arguing from Scripture that the Spirit is deity, is a distinct person, is distinct from the Father and Son, and yet God is one. He uses passages like Acts 5, Hebrews 9, Matthew 3 and 28, John 16-17, and 1 Corinthians 12 to establish these truths while warning against analogies like modalism that go beyond what Scripture teaches.

Reagan McClenny preaches from Genesis 50:22-26 on how Joseph "finished well," identifying three marks: a heart filled with forgiveness instead of bitterness, love that expanded instead of contracted, and a perception that grew more like God's than man's. He applies these lessons to how Christians should approach aging and death, calling hearers to trust God's promises to the end.

Reagan McClenny preaches on the Lord's Supper as a test case for distinguishing apostolic tradition from human tradition, using 2 Thessalonians 2:15 and examples from Acts and 1 Corinthians. He argues the New Testament pattern establishes weekly observance on the first day of the week, while other practices like using an upper room or a communion table are helpful traditions, not binding commands.
