In this lesson, Kyle revisits the themes of the Old and New Covenants, emphasizing that while the Old Covenant was rooted in the Mosaic Law and driven by the fear of punishment, the New Covenant is based on grace, love, and forgiveness. The discussion encourages participants to actively seek answers directly from scripture, with an emphasis on Jesus’ role in establishing the New Covenant for the forgiveness of sins. The lesson also explores the contrasting motivations of fear versus love, explaining that obedience to Jesus’ commandments should stem from love, not obligation. Additionally, it touches on salvation by grace through faith, underscoring the unique, sinless sacrifice of Jesus as essential to Christian belief and the process of reconciliation with God. The session concludes with a focus on personal faith, works as evidence of belief, and the necessity of God’s work within individuals to draw them to salvation.

In the message “The Problem With Pride” by Seth Phipps, the speaker focuses on the biblical parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector from Luke 18:9-14. The key theme is the contrast between pride and humility. The Pharisee exemplifies pride, boasting about his righteous acts and looking down on others, while the tax collector embodies humility, acknowledging his sin and pleading for God’s mercy. Phipps emphasizes that pride blinds us spiritually, preventing self-reflection and growth, while humility opens us up to spiritual awareness, enabling us to seek God’s grace and transformation. The message calls for listeners to examine their own hearts, unmask their true selves, and approach God with humility, trusting in His mercy and forgiveness.

In this lesson, the focus is on understanding God’s love and how it motivates salvation.

It also covers the significance of Christ’s sacrifice, the exchange of our sin for His righteousness, and how believers gain new identities in Christ.

In Seth’s message “Writing Your Funeral” from MVMT, he challenges listeners to reflect on their lives with an eternal perspective. He emphasizes two critical questions: what will people say at your funeral, and how will your life impact others? Seth underscores the biblical principle that our actions on earth have eternal consequences and encourages living in a way that glorifies God. He uses the story of the rich man and Lazarus to illustrate how living with generosity and a focus on God’s kingdom rather than worldly wealth shapes our legacy and eternal reward.

Various Bible verses are explored to explain the significance of salvation, the wrath of God, and eternal life.

Ellie’s message at MVMT focused on the parable of the talents from Matthew 25. She explained that Jesus teaches us through parables—earthly stories with heavenly meanings—to help us apply His teachings to our lives. Ellie emphasized the importance of faithfully stewarding the gifts, talents, and responsibilities God has entrusted to us while we wait for His return. She highlighted that those who invest wisely in their faith and actions are rewarded, while those who act out of fear or laziness miss out on God’s blessings. The message challenged listeners to reflect on how they use their time and abilities for the kingdom of God.

In Byan’s Hard Topics lesson, he emphasizes the importance of understanding the Holy Spirit as a person, rather than a mysterious force or “it.” The lesson highlights the Holy Spirit’s role in revealing God to us, unifying believers, and actively participating in all aspects of salvation—from regeneration and conversion to sanctification and perseverance. Bryan also challenges common misconceptions about the Holy Spirit, encouraging participants to reflect on how the Spirit acts in their lives to deepen their faith and strengthen their relationship with God. The teaching concludes with a reminder that through the Holy Spirit, believers are continually being transformed and unified as God’s people.

Alexis shared her personal journey of preparing for marriage and the struggles of materialism, using her experience of searching for a new home as an example. She emphasized the temptation to find fulfillment in possessions and the desire for more, but reminded the audience that true life and fulfillment come only through a relationship with Jesus. Drawing from the parable of the rich fool in Luke 12, she explained that accumulating wealth and possessions will never satisfy our deepest needs. Instead, she encouraged the listeners to find their worth and meaning in Christ, urging them to let go of the distractions of materialism and focus on being rich toward God.

Byan’s message is a theological teaching focused on the doctrine of Christology, the study of Christ. He emphasizes the significance of understanding Jesus as the second person of the Trinity, being fully God and fully man. Byan explores key theological concepts such as the incarnation, the Nicene Creed, and the hypostatic union, explaining how Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection reveal the nature of God. He encourages the audience to reflect on how Jesus’ divinity and humanity impact their understanding of God, worship, and the Christian faith.

Seth uses the metaphor of caving to explain how people often choose darkness (symbolizing evil) over light (symbolizing truth), fearing that their wrongdoings will be exposed. He draws from John 3:16-21, emphasizing that Jesus is the light and that choosing truth is essential for living a life aligned with God. Seth encourages his audience to make wise decisions, reject worldly influences, and step into the light, trusting that God is at work even when they may not see immediate evidence. He concludes by challenging them to actively choose truth and faith in their daily lives.
