The rebuilding of the wall is finished in Nehemiah 7, but that doesn’t mean the work is over. Guest pastor Kaipo Amina resumes his Be Like Nehemiah study by showing us Nehemiah’s next steps of appointing leadership and assigning roles and how this models how we can serve and follow God in our churches, individual ministries, and homes.

What we look at directly impacts the direction we head and, ultimately, the outcome of our lives. In our March 2024 Ironworks study, we examine what we should focus on by contrasting that with the things that impair our vision. Join us as we search the Scriptures for examples of men with spiritual vision problems and learn from their mistakes to correct our own sight.

A Bible teaching titled “Ironworks | Man of God” from Brett Meador.

Abraham takes a detour down to Egypt in Genesis 12:8-20 that puts his wife in a compromising position, derails his relationship with God, and ultimately sets up a scenario that wreaks havoc to this day. In our January 2024 Ironworks study, we look at what caused Abraham to take this detour, what all the ramifications were, how we can avoid going off course, and what to do if we go astray.

Since way back in the Garden of Eden in Genesis 3:1-6, Satan has had one basic playbook to trick men into turning away from God and His Word – and it is still just as effective today. In our November 2023 Ironworks study, we break down Satan’s lies to easily identify the scriptural weapons we can use to defend ourselves against being bamboozled by Beelzebub.

A Bible teaching titled “Ironworks | Our Job” from Brett Meador.

What does it mean to be a faithful man? And why does it even matter? In our September 2023 Ironworks study, we look at the charge to be faithful in 1 Corinthians 4:1-2 and seek to understand why it matters now and in eternity, see what being a successful steward looks like, and learn how faithfulness can manifest in our lives as men.

After seeing the atrocities that were taking place in the Temple, Jesus deals with the situation in John 2:13-22 by driving the money changers away, overturning tables, and issuing commands to remove what did not belong. In our May 2023 Ironworks study, we look at Jesus’ intense reaction and see how it gives us an example of being angry for the right reasons, how to call out sin appropriately, and why it is crucial to keep our reactions balanced and under control.

Nehemiah has some serious issues to deal with in Nehemiah 5 as the people come before him with a host of troubles.

A Bible teaching titled “Ironworks | Don't Be Offended!” from Brett Meador.

Moses petitions Pharaoh for permission to leave Egypt in Exodus 8-10, but Pharaoh will not consent and proposes a series of compromises. In our February 2023 Ironworks study, we look at these compromises, see how men are asked to make similar concessions today, and learn how we should instead stand firm in what God has called us to do.

The men in Ezra 9:1-3 failed to separate themselves from the bad behavior of the surrounding nations and were subsequently caught up in sin, far from God, and failing as spiritual leaders. In our January 2023 Ironworks study, we see what it means to be set apart, how we can pursue radical holiness, and how to start making strides toward being the men that God has called us to be.

As Nehemiah rebuilds the city wall, he encounters opposition, attacks, and criticism but manages all these situations biblically. As guest pastor Kaipo Amina walks us through Nehemiah's model of manhood in our November 2022 Ironworks study, we learn how to identify the enemy's attacks, respond appropriately, and be more like Nehemiah in all areas of our lives.
