11 OCT. 2026 · Does Pentecost still happen today? In Acts 2:1-8 (KJV), A.W. Tozer separates what can never be repeated from what came at Pentecost and stayed.
A.W. Tozer Sermon Breakdown Pt 4: Matt Hepner and TopLobsta read Tozer's "The Promised Comforter, the Holy Spirit: Permanency of Pentecost!"
Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/nZfbeNpXM04?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video_description&utm_campaign=straight_bible&utm_content=nZfbeNpXM04
After reading Acts 2:1-8, we get Tozer's line: no repetition of Pentecost, but a perpetuation of it. The rushing mighty wind was a sound (Acts 2:2, John 3:8), the cloven tongues of fire sat on each of them (Acts 2:3), and none of it was ever repeated. What stayed is the Comforter, who makes Jesus Christ real: Peter's sermon (Acts 2:33-36), power from on high (Luke 24:49) and why the Holy Spirit was not named after dynamite. Then Satan's dead crow in God's cornfield, the church called to live above her own ability, and Moses: if you don't go with us, I'm not going (Exodus 33:15). Pt 4 of Tozer's ten messages on the Holy Spirit.

10 OCT. 2026 · What does carnal mean? In 1 Corinthians 2:9-3:4 (KJV), Paul says the Spirit reveals what eye hath not seen, then calls a gifted church carnal, babes in Christ.
1 Corinthians Part 3 (Corinthians for Dummies) with Matt Hepner and the Raven: the hidden wisdom of God, the mind of Christ, and milk before meat.
Matt and the Raven open with Grok removing every god but Jesus Christ, then recap 1 Corinthians 2:1-8 and 1 Timothy 3:16, "great is the mystery of godliness." Verse 9 sends them to Isaiah 64:4 and what it means to wait on God. Then the Spirit searching the deep things of God, words the Holy Ghost teacheth, the natural man, and the mind of Christ. After a viewer question, "Are Christians the new Israel?", chapter 3 turns on a gifted church: milk, not meat, and a definition of carnal that is envying, strife and divisions.

8 OCT. 2026 · Is the Holy Spirit waiting to do for you all that Jesus would do if He were here on earth? In session three of the A.W. Tozer Classic Sermon Series, Matt Hepner and TopLobsta read and react to Tozer's message "The Presence and Ministry of the Holy Spirit: All That Jesus Would Be!"
Working from John 14:15-17 and 14:26, Tozer warns that a church can organize, hire a pastor, form a choir and keep turning the crank without the Holy Spirit, and nobody notices for years. Matt and TopLobsta talk through the modern church model of announcements, five songs and a speech, fellowship that has become a social club with a mild religious flavor, and the "religious toys and trifles" churches now depend on.
Then Tozer answers the big question: who is the Holy Spirit? He is not enthusiasm, courage or energy. He is a Person with will, intelligence and love, who can be grieved, quenched and ignored. Spirit is another mode of being that can penetrate matter and personality (1 Corinthians 2:11-12). The hosts dig into Peter's shadow, Paul's handkerchiefs, Nicodemus coming by night, speaking in tongues, and why the Holy Spirit must be Lord or He will not come at all. Tozer walks through the Nicene and Athanasian Creeds, then demands chapter and verse from Scripture: Job 26:13, Job 33:4, 2 Corinthians 3:17 and 2 Corinthians 13:14.
The episode closes on the heart of the message: the Holy Spirit is exactly like Jesus, gracious, loving, kind and gentle, and because He loves us, He can be grieved. If you've ever wondered what real Spirit-filled living looks like beyond Sunday hype, this one is for you.

7 OCT. 2026 · Why is the preaching of the cross foolishness? 1 Corinthians 1:18-2:8 (KJV): the cross is foolishness to them that perish, but the power of God to us which are saved.
1 Corinthians Part 2 (Corinthians for Dummies) with Matt Hepner and the Raven: Christ crucified versus the wisdom of this world.
Matt and the Raven pick up after Part 1 with a Blue Letter Bible look at "beseech" in 1 Corinthians 1:10, then turn to the preaching of the cross. They walk through God destroying the wisdom of the wise, Jews who require a sign and Greeks who seek after wisdom, and why not many wise, mighty, or noble are called. God chose the foolish things of the world to confound the wise, so that he that glorieth should glory in the Lord. In chapter 2, Paul determines to know nothing among them but Jesus Christ, and him crucified, so their faith would stand in the power of God, not the wisdom of men.

6 OCT. 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.

6 OCT. 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 OCT. 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 OCT. 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 SEP. 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."
Primary passage: Matthew 6:24-34 (KJV)
