Why do you still struggle with sin, and what can you do about it? That’s what we’re going to conclusively nail down in this study.

The Disciple Maker’s Goal

in ROMANS 5-8: Living Your Life God's Way

While Mark was not particularly religious, he wanted to be a good person. He tried. Repeatedly. But Mark knew he was never going to muster enough will power to keep the Ten Commandments. Then he heard, understood, and believed, “We’re saved by grace, not by keeping the law.” As a new disciple, Mark still thought becoming a good Christian was about following the rules. And he continued to fail. He asked his disciple maker, “I want to be a good Christian. What are the rules?”

If you were his disciple maker, how would you answer Mark? In this lesson Pat Morley will help you clarify your answer about the role of the law in the life of a disciple. You’ll be reminded that your goal as a disciple maker is to help men grow, not get them to obey.

Romans 7:1-13

(Rebroadcast) Becoming The Man God Created You To Be

Primary: Luke 8:14-15, Hebrews 5:13-6:1
Also: James 1:2-4, Colossians 4:12, Philippians 3:13-17, Colossians 1:28, Ephesians 4:11-16

Turkey is not the only thing men are hungry for today! Every man who loves or wants to love God eventually finds himself hungry for a deeper, richer, more consistent experience with God. This hunger is attended by many cravings—e.g., feeling desperate for more of God, fear that we’re missing “it,” an ache in our soul for “something more,” or wanting to feel useful. This hunger and the cravings that go with it can be simply and succinctly summarized as wanting a deeper walk with God.

Join Patrick Morley in this message that kicked off a series from last year entitled, “A Deeper Walk With God.” You can become the man God created you to be.
(You can find the whole series on our website here: https://mimbiblestudy.com/category/a-deeper-walk-with-god-2019/)

How Is Your Life Going So Far?

in ROMANS 5-8: Living Your Life God's Way, Uncategorized

Do you know Christians who are disappointed with how their life has turned out so far? Are you disappointed? Many men have not yet grasped what it means to live under grace rather than law. They are still a slave to the power of sin, rather than living under the reality of grace. Although they’re believers, their life has no power or joy.

Join Brett Clemmer as he shows the power of grace in the life of the Christian man. You are not a slave to sin. You can instead be a man who has been freed by Christ. And when Christ frees a man, he is free indeed!

Verses referenced in this lesson:
Romans 6:15-23; Galatians 4:7; John 8:34-36

The Radical Nature of Grace

in ROMANS 5-8: Living Your Life God's Way

Are you concerned about someone who keeps sinning, even though they have professed faith? Or perhaps you’re wondering about yourself? Paul has strongly emphasized that we are justified (saved) by faith alone. But now he wants to make sure we don’t get the idea we can do whatever we want—or leave things we should do undone. That would be “grace abuse.”

Let Patrick Morley reduce your “grace anxiety.” You already know there’s no way you can ever pay your debt, right? But did you also know there’s no debt so big that your Father won’t pay it off? And He will do that as many times as you need. Now that’s radical! So how can we respond to such radical grace?

Romans 6:1-14

Two of the Three Biggest Objections to Faith

in ROMANS 5-8: Living Your Life God's Way

What Christian doesn’t want to help another person come to faith? Obviously, we all want that. But it’s a lot harder in the field than it sounds in the classroom, right? Let Patrick Morley show you how easily you can be a “super-spreader” of the life-giving grace that changes men’s lives. Tune in and learn the right way to share your faith. You will receive a powerful “next level” disciple-making idea that can dramatically change how you interact with those around you.

No Matter What Happens, You Can Always Rejoice

in ROMANS 5-8: Living Your Life God's Way

Everyone admires a man who can handle tough times as well as he enjoys the good times. Maybe you are that man, or maybe you would like to be. In this message, Pat will show you Paul’s prescription to handle whatever life throws at you. The promise is that no matter what happens, you can rejoice. This is “next level” discipleship!

The Story of Abraham’s Faith

in ROMANS 1-4: What Makes a Man a Believer

You probably know someone who has trouble putting their faith in God. Why is that? Maybe they have lived a particularly sinful life and just can’t get over their past. Perhaps they have a scientific mind and struggle to trust a God they can’t prove. Maybe they’re a relatively decent person and feel like their good deeds are enough to earn salvation. Possibly they do believe but don’t feel like faith is enough and so they strive to show they are worthy. It’s likely some have received poor teaching and misunderstand the gospel of salvation. We want to equip you to clear up that confusion!

Join Patrick Morley and learn or be reminded through Abraham’s story about the beautiful doctrine of justification (salvation) by faith alone. By the end, you’ll be much more confident to help someone you deeply care about who is wavering.

Romans 4:1-25

The Most Important Decision You Will Ever Make

in ROMANS 1-4: What Makes a Man a Believer

Close your eyes for a moment and reminisce about what you were like just before and after becoming a Christian. Can you recall the emotions, the confusion, the frustration, the ache within? It’s good to remember, isn’t it?

Remembering makes us thankful. Remembering helps us realize how far we’ve come. Perhaps most of all, remembering can make us ache for other men who right now are going through what we went through then.

As you read these words, there are countless men in your orbit feeling those same emotions—feeling like life has no meaning, there’s no purpose, anger, defeat, loneliness, rage, resignation, depression, or unloved. Join Patrick Morley and learn or be reminded how God makes men right with Himself—and consider how God wants you to respond.

Learning About Sin the Hard Way

in ROMANS 1-4: What Makes a Man a Believer

Can you name even one area of your life that has escaped the effects of sin? Even our best relationships have periodic misunderstandings. The healthiest habits can’t prevent all disease or injury. People who always seem patient still get angry sometimes. Why is that?

Understanding the nature of sin will help you understand the power of God’s grace. Join Brett Clemmer as we look at the power of the law, the pervasiveness of sin, and God’s plan to save us. The deeper we go in Romans, the more we learn about ourselves and God.

The Advantages of Faithfulness

in ROMANS 1-4: What Makes a Man a Believer

Are there truly any benefits to being faithful? Can we all agree that remaining faithful can get frustrating? That frustration leads us to not being fully committed or bargaining to make things fit our personal standards.

Join Khayree Pender as he helps us answer the question: What haven’t we been faithful in? And then encourages us to give it another try.

Discipling Religious Men

in ROMANS 1-4: What Makes a Man a Believer

Here’s the situation. There are men around you who know the right things to say, but they have a hard time putting them into practice. You may be in the same boat yourself. What’s going on? In today’s passage, Paul helps us understand and tackle the underlying problem. By the end of our time together, you will have a clear grasp on why it’s not enough to be outwardly religious.

Join Patrick Morley and learn a practical idea for you and the men you disciple to not only get right but stay right with God on a daily basis.

A Disciple Maker’s Understanding of Judgment and Law

in ROMANS 1-4: What Makes a Man a Believer

A quick reading of today’s text may leave you scratching your head and wondering, “What in the world is Paul talking about?” The obvious subjects are judgment (9 references) and law (10 references). But isn’t this the 21st century? How are these old-fashioned sounding concepts still relevant in a culture where people just don’t want anyone telling them what to do?

Now that’s a problem worth trying to solve! Join Patrick Morley as we do a deep dive into the passage and discover two or three nuggets that can really help you in a big way both as a disciple and a disciple maker.

What’s Wrong With Us?

in ROMANS 1-4: What Makes a Man a Believer

Things are not OK. The world seems full of the “foolish, faithless, heartless and ruthless.” How did it come to this? How can a world that holds up values like equality, human rights and justice be so full of bigotry, hate and lawlessness? What is wrong with us?

Perhaps God has given up on us… Well, of course not. But, God has given some people up to following their own best thinking. He has allowed people to reject His evident truth for specious lies. And the effects are devastating.

God’s wrath is not what you think it is. Join Brett Clemmer as he continues our study in Romans and shows us how the wrath of God is not against people. It’s directed at what causes mankind to default to misery.

Paul: The Ultimate Disciple Maker

in ROMANS 1-4: What Makes a Man a Believer

Welcome to a brand new series on the book of Romans!

Don’t you just love rubbing shoulders with an excited, passionate man who really knows what he’s doing? The apostle Paul is such a man. Paul is the ultimate example of a man who took making disciples seriously. If you too are serious about making disciples, then what could be better than to figure out and imitate what Paul thought, said, and did?

Join Patrick Morley as we kick off a verse-by-verse study of Romans—Paul’s magnum opus on the life of a believer. In our first lesson you’ll learn how Paul described his mindset, his mission, and his message. His language will spark a forest fire in your heart, his passion will infect you like a highly contagious virus, and his challenge can forever change your life.

Verses referenced in this lesson:
Romans 1:1-17

The Four Voices for Broken Men

in The Four Voices (2020)

We are all broken, each of us wounded and scarred in our own way. The possibilities for why are endless: poor self-esteem, self-importance, unhealthy distrust of people, paralyzed by fearful and anxious emotions, hypersensitive to negative cues, prickly and “always ready” to defend yourself, caring too much about what people think or not caring enough, feeling the need to always be in control, not respecting boundaries, past abuse, neglect, abandonment issues, attachment problems, sinful desires or behaviors, and other ongoing hurts and struggles.

Join Patrick Morley for a summary look at how the world, the flesh, and the devil create such brokenness, and how the Holy Spirit will heal and transform you. Join us! It’s going to be a great day!

Verses in this lesson: Ephesians 4:11-16, Luke 11:11-13

My Voice is Enough

in The Four Voices (2020)

Going through life, we are faced with many decisions and rely on rapid responses. Oftentimes it is normal to respond to the loudest voice, which is not always be the best choice. But as we grow, we have to learn, instead, to lean on the voice of the Holy Spirit.

Join Khayree Pender as he explores how the Holy Spirit serves as a direct channel that we can trust–that all that’s being delivered has come from God. Learn how you can allow the Holy Spirit to serve as a great mediator and comforter while providing guidance and giving instructions.

Scriptures in this lesson: John 16:12-15

The Voice of the Holy Spirit

in The Four Voices (2020)

There are three kinds of men: dead, defeated, and dangerous. So far in The Four Voices we’ve mostly been talking about the voices that bring death and defeat. In this lesson we’re going to make a hard pivot and talk about how men become dangerous. Seal Team Six may scare the Taliban, but nothing is more dangerous to the world, flesh, and devil than a man walking in the presence and power of the Holy Spirit.

Join Patrick Morley and learn or be reminded how you can recognize the voice of the Spirit, experience more of His presence and power, and understand your part in being filled with the Spirit.

Verses referenced in this study: Titus 3:4-7, John 14:15-18, 26, Ephesians 5:18-20

Satan: The Great Opportunist

in The Four Voices (2020)

A prowler. A deceiver. A snake. These are just some of the ways Satan is described in the Bible. What do these have in common? They are all opportunists, looking for a weakness in your defenses, ready to strike when the circumstances are right. The devil’s goal is to drive a wedge between you and God. He wants to use your failures to teach you lies about God and yourself. But that’s what they are: lies.

Join Brett Clemmer as he helps us realize that the silky smooth voice of Satan will do nothing but wreak havoc in our lives, relationships, and connection with God–and how you can achieve victory, even when you think you’re beyond redemption.

Scriptures included in this lesson:
1 John 2:15-17; Romans 7:14-25; Genesis 3:1-15; Romans 8:11,16-17, 38-39

You’ll learn or be reminded that God also has tools that will empower you to stand firm and resist the voice of the devil.

Pressures of Flesh

in The Four Voices (2020)

When the superhero is needed, that means the villain is present. We are in a constant battle with flesh where in a world that is active and loud the voice of the flesh seems to become overbearing. Join Khayree Pender to discuss how we use our spiritual filters to separate the voice of the flesh and muzzle the voice of the flesh.

Scriptures used in this lesson:
Matthew 4:1-4; 5-7; 8-10

The Voice of the Flesh

in The Four Voices (2020)

If you’re like most men, you feel a lot of pressure to come off as a spiritual, righteous, and good Christian. But you also know that you’re not the man that others think you are. Not really. And that may be okay for the general public. But we also need to know how to keep it real.

That’s why we hope you’ll join us this week as Patrick Morley explains why we keep sinning, helps us identify what triggers our own sinful cravings, and shares ideas that can help you further crucify the flesh. Join us!

Scriptures used in this lesson:
Jeremiah 17:9, Mark 7:20-23, Romans 7:15-25, 1 John 2:16, Galatians 5:16

The World vs. The Word

in The Four Voices (2020)

Ephesians 2:1-3; 1 John 2:15; John 1:1-5,14; Habakkuk 1:9-11; Matthew 13:22,16:24-26; Ecclesiastes 2:24-26, 5:10-11; Luke 12:22-34; 1 Timothy 6:17

Are you a little down right now? Frustrated with your life, or even feeling ashamed of what you have or haven’t accomplished? You may be listening to the voice of the world in your head. Wrapped in self-help language or encouraging you to “Seize the day!”, the world creates a false hope of success based on a false premise of reality. The world’s way of thinking ultimately leads to anxiety and hopelessness. But there is a better way.

Join Brett Clemmer as he explores the contrast between the way of the World and the way of the Word, and find hope for a future that will allow you to be at peace no matter how turbulent the times.

Every man you know is trying to move his life forward and make something of himself. But most of them also say, “It’s just hard.” The world is not your friend. The world wants you to doubt that Jesus Christ is enough to make you happy.

Join Patrick Morley and explore how the world is trying to get inside your head, how to keep it out, and how to affirm that Christ is enough for you. Whether or not you change the world, you don’t have to let the world change you
