6 OTT 2026 · What does "seek ye first the kingdom of God" mean? In Matthew 6:31-34 Jesus answers worry about food, drink and clothing with one command: but seek.
Sermon on the Mount Pt 29: Matt Hepner and TopLobsta finish Matthew 6, where everything else is just luggage for a pilgrim and a stranger.
We pick up at 2 Timothy 1:9 and the love of money in 1 Timothy 6:7-10, then Jesus' easy yoke in Matthew 11:28-30. Matthew 6:33 is the answer to the worry: why God hides himself (Isaiah 45:15), why it is the glory of God to conceal a thing (Proverbs 25:2), and why he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him (Hebrews 11:6). Then Simeon and Anna in Luke 2, take no thought for the morrow (Matthew 6:34), "is not the life more?", life as a vapour (James 4:14), pilgrims and strangers (1 Peter 2:11, Hebrews 11:13-16) and teach us to number our days (Psalm 90:12). Next, the series moves into Matthew 7.
Primary passage: Matthew 6:31-34 (KJV)
Also in this episode: 2 Timothy 1:9 · 1 Timothy 6:7-10 · Matthew 11:28-30 · 1 Corinthians 1:30 · Isaiah 45:15 · John 10:24 · Proverbs 25:2 · Hebrews 11:6 · Deuteronomy 29:29 · John 11:9-10 · John 12:35-36 · John 3:16-21 · Luke 2:25-38 · Ecclesiastes 3:11 · Psalm 103:13-16 · James 4:13-14 · Ecclesiastes 6:11-12 · 1 Chronicles 29:10-19 · 1 Peter 2:11 · Galatians 5:16-17 · Hebrews 11:13-16 · Psalm 90:12 · 1 Corinthians 1:9 · 1 Corinthians 15:58

6 OTT 2026 · Why did Jesus call Simon Peter a rock? In John 1:42 Jesus looks at an unstable fisherman and says, "thou shalt be called Cephas," a stone.
The Great Physician, G. Campbell Morgan Sermon Breakdown: Matt Hepner and TopLobsta read Morgan's chapter on Simon Peter.
Morgan calls Peter an "elemental man": a questioner with real intellect, deep emotion and tremendous willpower, and yet a weak man, lacking the one thing that welds those elements into strength. We follow how Jesus dealt with him: Andrew brings Simon, Jesus looks through him and renames him, then four crises (the hard sayings of John 6, Caesarea Philippi, the Transfiguration and the upper room), the look after the denial, the private appearance after the resurrection, and Pentecost, where Peter finally stands as rock. Plus Morgan's Westminster story: "I know someone who does believe in you."

6 OTT 2026 · Re-air: originally released June 26, 2026.
Original episode: https://www.spreaker.com/episode/how-has-god-spoken-to-us-by-his-son-hebrews-1-1-4-hebrews-w-otis-fowler-pt-1--72703809
How has God spoken to us by His Son? Hebrews 1:1-4: God spoke by the prophets, but in these last days by His Son, the express image of His person.
Hebrews w/ Otis Fowler Pt 1, with Otis Fowler, Matt Hepner and TopLobsta.
"God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds" (Hebrews 1:1-2). Otis explains why he reads the NASB 1995, then reads Hebrews 1:1-4.
Hebrews was written to believers under persecution, and the book sets the old covenant beside the new: grace and truth came by Jesus Christ (John 1:17), and God cut a covenant with Abram (Genesis 15). "The express image of his person" (Hebrews 1:3) is like a stamp on wax, not the moon reflecting the sun. Jesus says "Before Abraham was, I am" (John 8:58), "I and my Father are one" (John 10:30) and "he that hath seen me hath seen the Father" (John 14:9).
Also covered: the first and the last (Isaiah 44; Revelation 1), heaven meted out with the span (Isaiah 40:12), "the brightness of his glory," the only begotten Son, modalism and the Trinity, "upholding all things by the word of his power," "the image of the invisible God" (Colossians 1:15-20), one sacrifice for sins (Hebrews 10:11-12), and an outline of the whole book.
Questions answered
- How has God spoken to us by His Son (Hebrews 1, Verses 1-2)? (9:24)
- What does "the express image of his person" mean? (19:11)
- Why was Hebrews written? (10:53)
- What is the difference between the old and new covenant? (14:02)
- What does "the brightness of his glory" mean? (57:54)
- What does "only begotten" mean? (1:01:07)
- What is modalism? (1:04:15)

4 OTT 2026 · Why is the church so divided? 1 Corinthians 1:1-17 (KJV): Paul greets a gifted church, then confronts the divisions tearing it apart.
1 Corinthians Part 1 (Corinthians for Dummies) with Matt Hepner and the Raven: a slow, conversational read through Paul's opening chapter.
Matt and the Raven start with Paul, called to be an apostle by Jesus and not by any institution, and the saints at Corinth. They ask why grace comes before peace, why Paul thanks God for people before he corrects them, and what it means to be called unto the fellowship of God's Son. Then they reach Chloe's report of "I am of Paul... I of Apollos" and ask what Paul's warning means for a church split by denominations, and why he would not preach with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ be made of none effect.
Primary passage: 1 Corinthians 1:1-17 (KJV)
Also in this episode: Acts 19:13-16 · 1 Corinthians 15:58 · 1 John 1:1-3 · Romans 8:38-39 · Ephesians 4:7-13

30 SET 2026 · What is the root cause of anxiety? From Matthew 6:24-34 (KJV): you cannot serve God and mammon, and serving mammon only feeds anxiety.
Sermon on the Mount Part 28 with Matt Hepner and TopLobsta: "take no thought" means take no anxiety. Do the work, then, having done all, stand (Ephesians 6:13).

The birds of the air work every day and the lilies of the field can only stand, yet God feeds and clothes both. Matt walks through working heartily as unto the Lord, clean hands and a pure heart, and David's mighty men standing their ground, and shows why your heavenly Father, not mammon, is the provider. Then come the great "stand still" moments: Moses at the Red Sea, Peter asleep in chains, Hannah's prayer, and 2 Timothy 1:7: "God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind."

29 SET 2026 · Carnal eyes or spiritual eyes? Matthew 6:22-23 (KJV): "The light of the body is the eye," and "the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God."
Sermon on the Mount Pt 24, hosted by Matt Hepner with Raven.
Matt and Raven pick up from John 9:39 and the fall in Genesis 3, where "the eyes of them both were opened" and they saw with carnal eyes. Then they read Matthew 6:19-24 and pray Paul's prayer, "The eyes of your understanding being enlightened" (Ephesians 1:18). "The commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes" (Psalm 19:8). In 1 Corinthians 1-2, "the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God" (1 Corinthians 1:18). "The natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God," but "we have the mind of Christ" (1 Corinthians 2:14, 16).
Along the way: tree-of-life vs tree-of-knowledge issues and why believers divide over end-times charts, Moses choosing "rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season" and enduring "as seeing him who is invisible" (Hebrews 11:25, 27), David's "Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD" (Psalm 25:15), and Peter walking on the water until he saw the wind (Matthew 14:30).
Questions answered
• What is the difference between carnal eyes and spiritual eyes? (7:29)
• Why is the cross foolishness to those who perish? (10:08)
• What does "the natural man receiveth not" mean? (56:51)
• What does it mean to have the mind of Christ? (1:03:16)
• How did Moses see "him who is invisible"? (1:03:50)
• Why did Peter sink when he saw the wind? (1:23:16)

27 SET 2026 · What does "In the beginning" mean in Genesis 1-2 (KJV)? Thomas "Paranoid American" reads Genesis on its own terms, with Hebrew wordplay, gematria and hard questions.
Straight Bible Interview Sessions with Thomas "Paranoid American," hosted by Matt Hepner and TopLobsta.
This is the start of a book-by-book run through the Bible with Thomas of Paranoid American Comics, working through Genesis 1 and 2 read aloud from the King James. Thomas read Genesis as if it were the only book in front of him; Matt and TopLobsta answer from the rest of Scripture and keep coming back to one point: knowing God matters more than winning a doctrine fight.
Topics include whether God is limited to three dimensions, whether it matters if Genesis is literal history, sola scriptura and the Book of Enoch, what the word "in" implies in "In the beginning," tohu va bohu and Isaiah 45:18 ("he created it not in vain"), gematria, the Bible code and the golden ratio, the Spirit moving on the waters, Adam and adamah, light before the sun, the greater and lesser lights, the pattern of sevens, the image of God, "after his kind," two creation accounts, the Sabbath ("made for man," Mark 2:27), man becoming a living soul, naming the animals, Eve from the rib, the two trees, and whether "the fall" and original sin are in Genesis. Next time: Genesis 3.
Questions answered
• Is it heresy to say God is not limited to three dimensions? (6:22)
• Does it matter if Genesis is literal history? (16:03)
• What does "In the beginning" mean in Genesis 1, Verse 1? (26:30)
• Did the earth "become" without form and void? (31:57)
• Why is light created before the sun? (1:01:57)
• Are there two creation accounts in Genesis? (1:34:16)
• Is original sin in Genesis? (2:14:03)

26 SET 2026 · What does "Come and see" mean in John 1:35-39 (KJV)? G. Campbell Morgan traces how Jesus dealt with John the Apostle, the disciple whom Jesus loved.
G. Campbell Morgan Sermon Breakdown, hosted by Matt Hepner and TopLobsta.
Matt reads G. Campbell Morgan's chapter on John the Apostle and stops to talk it through. Morgan starts with John's background: son of Zebedee and Salome, partner in the fishing business with Simon and Andrew, from a family with hired servants, a cousin of Jesus after the flesh (Matthew 27:55-56), and a man with a house in Jerusalem, where he took Mary after the cross (John 19:26-27).
Then Morgan follows John through the Gospels and turns to the Lord's methods with him: "What seek ye?" (John 1:38), the invitation to "come and see" (John 1:39), which Morgan ties to Revelation 1:1-2 where John "bare record ... of all things that he saw," the call to be fishers of men (Mark 1:17), the name Boanerges, sons of thunder (Mark 3:17), the sharp corrections ("Forbid him not," and the wish to call down fire, Luke 9:49-56), the way of the cross (Mark 10:38-39), and the confidence Jesus showed in trusting John with His mother and with the Revelation. It closes on John 21:20-23: "If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?"

26 SET 2026 · How does the Holy Spirit reveal Jesus Christ? A.W. Tozer's text is John 3:27 (KJV): "A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven."
A.W. Tozer Sermon Breakdown Pt 2 (Tozer's Ten Sermons on the Holy Spirit), hosted by Matt Hepner and TopLobsta.
Matt reads and discusses Tozer's sermon "How Christ Is Revealed by the Holy Spirit, Not Through the Intellect," chapter 2 of his ten sermons on the Holy Spirit. Tozer's outline: the blunder of orthodoxy in assuming spiritual truths can be intellectually perceived; the error that Bible study of itself can remove the veil; the error that we can talk each other up and put spiritual things down on the level of man's understanding; and the result, "two Christs": the Christ of history and the creeds, and the Christ only the Spirit can reveal.
Along the way: the natural man cannot receive the things of the Spirit (1 Corinthians 2:14), God's thoughts are not our thoughts (Isaiah 55:8-9), the Spirit of truth glorifies Christ (John 16:12-14), all Scripture is given by inspiration (2 Timothy 3:16), intuition and inward illumination, why philosophy and science cannot prove divine things, "It is the Holy Spirit or darkness," the anointing that teaches you (1 John 2:27), and Tozer's promise that when the Spirit comes He does not throw out true learning; He sets it on fire.

25 SET 2026 · What does Jesus mean by "take no thought for your life" in Matthew 6:24-34 (KJV)? Take no anxiety: seek the kingdom of God first, then work without worry.
Sermon on the Mount Pt 27, hosted by Matt Hepner and TopLobsta.
Matthew 6:24 is the hinge of the chapter. Verses 19-24 warn against coveting abundance, and verses 25-34 warn against being anxious about necessities. Matt shows that "take no thought" means take no anxiety, the same word as "Be careful for nothing" in Philippians 4:6, and not "sit on your porch and wait for life to happen."
From there: losing your life to find it (Matthew 16:24-27), flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom (1 Corinthians 15:50-54), "If God be for us, who can be against us?" (Romans 8:31-39), render unto Caesar and unto God (Luke 20:19-26), "all souls are mine" (Ezekiel 18:4), Moses asking to be blotted out of God's book (Exodus 32:30-33), the book of life (Revelation 20:12-15), your children belong to God (Ezekiel 16:20-21), and Paul on Mars Hill (Acts 17:22-28).
Then back to the birds of the air, which never just sit around, the ant (Proverbs 6:6-11), Adam put in the garden "to dress it and to keep it" before the curse (Genesis 2:7-15), providing for your own house (1 Timothy 5:8), and "if any would not work, neither should he eat" (2 Thessalonians 3:10). The balance: work hard, plan and provide, without anxiety.
