February 8, 2026 - FAITHFUL DISCIPLINE

Hebrews: The True and Better - Hebrews 12.3-11 Jobey McGinty We all long for seasons where life feels blessed. When things are working. When joy feels close. When faith feels easy.But we often assume that God’s favor only looks like comfort and clarity. We quietly believe that struggle means distance. That discipline means disapproval. That dry seasons mean God has stepped back.Hebrews reminds us of a gentler truth. God’s love does not leave when life gets hard. In fact, sometimes His love is most active there. “The Lord disciplines the one he loves” (Hebrews 12). Not to punish. Not to shame. But to heal. To form. To produce fruit that lasts.This is an invitation to trust Jesus in every season. To receive His love even when it comes through pruning. And to abide in Him together… believing that every moment held in Christ is marked by grace.

February 1, 2026 - THE FOUNDER AND PERFECTOR OF OUR FAITH

Hebrews: The True and Better - Hebrews 12.1 Jobey McGinty We all want to finish well. But somewhere along the way, faith can feel heavy. We get tired. We stumble. We quietly wonder if endurance is really possible.The world tells us the answer is to try harder. To be stronger. To keep proving ourselves. But that lie only deepens our shame and leaves us running alone.Hebrews reminds us of a better way. “Let us run with endurance the race set before us, looking to Jesus.” He is not just the one who starts our faith. He is the one who sustains it. The founder. The perfector. The faithful witness who carries us when we’re weak.Let us lay down the weight we’ve been carrying and lift our eyes again to Christ, trusting that He is at work in us.

Temporada 37

November 16, 2025 - FIGHTING THE FEAR OF MAN

Hebrews: The True and Better - Hebrews 11.23-28 Jobey McGinty Moses had a pretty amazing life. He had all the fame and treasure of Egypt right at his fingertips. But when he grew up, he refused it all. Why? Because he chose to get mistreated with God's people rather than enjoying the "fleeting pleasures of sin."He had an eternal perspective. By faith, he saw something the world couldn't: the "reproach of Christ" was greater wealth than anything Egypt had to offer because he was "looking to the reward." This is our model—to trust God's unseen promises over the world's visible threats. It's that faith that let him lead God's people right through an impossible situation at the Red Sea, proving God's power when their own strength ran out.

November 9, 2025 - FAITH THAT ALIGNS OUR HEARTS WITH GOD

Hebrews: The True and Better - Hebrews 11.11, 12, 17-22 Jobey McGinty Faith is not about believing so strongly that God will give us what we want. That is the prosperity gospel—a lie. Instead, faith is believing and laying hold of the things God has already promised. Like Sarah, who considered God faithful even when she doubted and laughed at His promise, we must repent of cynicism and hold fast to the promises guaranteed at the cross.Faith is the marriage of our soul to Christ. It is walking in the humility and dependence that recognizes we are not our own and that our lives were bought with a price. We must strive to do everything in faith, whether in word or action, not to earn favor, but as a reasonable response to glorifying God in our bodies.

November 2, 2025 - HEAVEN: THE FUEL FOR OUR FAITH

Hebrews: The True and Better - Hebrews 11.7-16 Jobey McGinty The world encourages us to be ambassadors for the pleasures of this life, but we are citizens of a better, future homeland. Like Noah, who built an ark for an unseen event, and Abraham, who left his home for an unknown country, we must acknowledge that we are strangers and exiles on this earth. Our earthly pursuits are merely a path toward something greater, a steppingstone toward our eternal inheritance.When we focus on heaven, our eternal perspective should fuel our present passion and diligence, making us better ambassadors for Christ. We must imitate those who pursue Christ, putting all our time, treasures, and talents into the Kingdom, because where your treasure is, your heart will be also.

September 26, 2025 - FAITH THAT PLEASES GOD

Hebrews: The True and Better - Hebrews 11.1-6 Jobey McGinty We must understand that without faith, it is impossible to please God. In fact, it is arrogant to assume that our good works, moral uprightness, or obedience can earn His favor. The true work of God is simply to believe in the One He sent. Rejecting Christ, the only solution to sin, makes all other accomplishments meaningless.We look to Abel, highlighted here in Hebrews 11, whose sacrifice was acceptable not because it was valuable to God, but because it was given by faith from a heart acknowledging sin's severity. God requires us to sacrifice and let go of the idols we cling to—like money, time, or grudges—because our heart follows our treasure, and God wants our hearts!We must make it our highest aim to please God in everything. By offering all of our life—time, treasure, and talents—as a living sacrifice, we open our hands to receive His freedom and leave a legacy of faith that will outlive us.

September 12, 2025 - OUR NEED FOR ENDURANCE

Hebrews: The True and Better - Hebrews 10.36-11.3 Jobey McGinty We all face moments where the weight of the world—whether it's discouragement, fear, or temptation—tempts us to give up. The world tells us to "dig deep" and be strong, but the Gospel reveals that God's strength is made perfect in our weakness. We have a need for endurance so that, having done the will of God, we may receive what He has promised.Remember, faith is not the size of your strength, but the conviction in the unseen promises of a faithful God. We look to the Old Testament heroes of the faith not because they were awesome, but because they modeled dependence, trusting in the God who guaranteed their salvation. When we are faithless, He remains faithful, because He cannot deny Himself.We have the Holy Spirit as our helper and our guarantee, helping us in our weakness and interceding for us. Let's keep our eyes fixed on Christ, boasting in our weaknesses, as His strength is made known, enduring to the end by faith.

October 5, 2025 - HE WHO CALLED YOU IS FAITHFUL

Hebrews: The True and Better - Hebrews 10.23, 24, John 17.1-26 Jobey McGinty What a blessed assurance we have in Christ. We are in a relationship with the one who has sworn on the highest level to never leave or forsake us. Our Savior has already done everything necessary to convince us of His perfect, unbreakable love by coming to earth, dying for us, and rising again. Our salvation is not secured by our own wavering faithfulness, but by His faithfulness to Himself and His promises.Therefore, because of this great news, we must hold fast to our confession without wavering and not neglect meeting together. Let's consider how to stir one another up to love and good works, all the more as the day of Christ's return draws near.

September 21, 2025 - HOLD FAST, FOR YOU ARE INDESTRUCTIBLE

Hebrews: The True and Better - Hebrews 10.19-22 Jobey McGinty The finished work of the Great High Priest has inaugurated a new and living way, granting us the audacious confidence to draw near to the Holy of Holies—not through our own fragile righteousness, but solely "by the blood of Jesus." This assurance is full and unwavering, a covenant sworn by God to Himself, securing our perseverance against every tribulation, persecution, and doubt.Our salvation is revealed to be imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, an inheritance so precious that the Father has Himself sealed it with the Holy Spirit as our eternal guarantee. Therefore, we are called to fan into flame the gift of God, dying to the self-preserving fear of the world and embracing a life of self-sacrificial love, for nothing—neither the darkness of the age nor the condemnation of our own heart—can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus.

September 7, 2025 - TOTAL, FINAL, AND SUPREME

Hebrews: The True and Better - Hebrews 9.23-10.18 Jobey McGinty Unlike the repeated animal sacrifices in the Old Testament, Jesus made a one-time, complete sacrifice for sin that has put it away forever.The work of salvation is finished, and we can rest in Christ. While Old Testament priests stood daily because their work was never done, Jesus sat down at the right hand of God, signifying that His work is complete. Our salvation is secure, an imperishable and unfading inheritance guarded by God’s power.Christ has perfected us, even as we are being perfected. God remembers our sins no more, so our response should be one of thanksgiving, not guilt or self-punishment. This is a reminder to trust in the finished work of Christ and live in the freedom He purchased for us.
