Send us a text In Part 17 of our verse-by-verse study through Hebrews, the author turns from warning to encouragement. After some of the most sobering passages in the letter, he reminds his readers of the hope they confessed, the suffering they endured, and the confidence they must not throw away. We’ll see how drawing near to God, holding fast to our hope, and encouraging one another are grounded not in our faithfulness, but in God’s. This is a call to endurance—rooted in Christ, sustained b...

Disproving Hebrew Roots: A Study of Colossians 2:16-17
Send us a text In this Bible study, we take a close look at Colossians 2:16–17—one of the most misunderstood passages among Hebrew Roots teachers. Paul’s words about festivals, new moons, Sabbaths, and the “shadow vs. substance” point us straight to the sufficiency of Christ and the freedom of the New Covenant. If you’ve been confused by Torah-keeping claims or you’re trying to help a friend caught in Hebrew Roots theology, this walkthrough of Colossians 2 will give you the clarity and bibli...

The Hall of Faith: Hebrews 11 (Part 16)
Send us a text In Part 16 of our verse-by-verse Hebrews study, we step into the “Hall of Faith” in Hebrews 11. The writer has just warned his readers not to drift, harden, fall away, or shrink back — now he shows them what persevering faith looks like. We’ll see how Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Moses, Israel at the Red Sea, Rahab, the judges, the prophets — even the unnamed, persecuted saints “of whom the world was not worthy” — were all trusting the same God we trust today. And here’s ...

4 Hebrew Roots Myths Debunked: Biblical Truth vs. Torahism
Send us a text There are just some common, persistent Hebrew Roots claims—I would even call them “biblical myths,” because they’re so clearly untrue, yet they’re continually repeated and still believed. In this video, we explore and debunk four such claims made by Hebrew Roots (Torah-observant) teachers—claims that often lead believers into confusion and division. In fact, we will interact with actual clips from a Hebrew roots teacher named Melissa Smith (aka God's Little Hummingbird). Using...

Hummingbird Debate Review: Exposing Melissa Smith's Theology
Send us a text I've had a chance to reflect on my recent debate with Melissa Smith, who goes by “God’s Little Hummingbird.” I suppose it was successful in the sense that I was able to get Melissa to admit publicly some of her more extreme beliefs about the Bible in a way that I think most folks hadn’t heard before. For example, how she doesn’t believe that the New Testament has the same level of authority as the Old Testament, and how Paul’s letters are just letters. So, if you truly care abo...
