A men's class on leading the Lord's Supper, following up on Preston's guidelines, in which three men (Brent, Manny, and Reagan) practiced short devotional talks drawing on Exodus 12, Luke 22, 1 Corinthians 11, and Isaiah 53, followed by group feedback. The lesson emphasized focusing partakers' minds on Christ's personal, sacrificial death and using emotion appropriately when leading the Supper.

Reagan McClenny examines the six New Testament passages that explicitly mention baptism of the Holy Spirit, from John's prophecy through its fulfillment in Acts 2 and Acts 10-11. He argues that only the apostles (and later Cornelius's household as a unique confirming sign) received this baptism, distinguishing it from being "filled with the Holy Spirit" and from spiritual baptism into Christ. Speaker: Reagan McClenny · Scripture: Mt 3:11 Video and transcript: https://www.timberlandchurch.org/sermons/baptism-of-the-holy-spirit
Reagan McClenny preaches from Matthew 9 and parallel accounts in Mark 5 and Luke 8, contrasting the fickle, thronging crowds who followed Jesus with individuals like Jairus, the woman with the issue of blood, and the two blind men who came to Him in persistent, helpless faith. He applies this to encourage believers to be persistent and helpless in seeking Christ rather than being swayed by crowd opinion. Speaker: Reagan McClenny · Scripture: Mt 9:18-36 Video and transcript: https://www.timberlandchurch.org/sermons/jesus-and-the-crowds
Brent Moody preaches from Philemon and related passages on preserving fellowship, urging Christians to slow down and discern whether an offense truly needs confrontation. He offers questions—understanding the facts, examining motives, and asking what love requires—to help distinguish "mountains" worth addressing from "molehills" better overlooked. Speaker: Brent Moody · Scripture: Phi 17-19 Video and transcript: https://www.timberlandchurch.org/sermons/preserving-fellowship-mountains-molehills
Brent Moody preaches from Philemon 20, exploring how restoring trust after forgiveness requires ongoing practice of forgiveness, bearing fruit worthy of repentance, and protecting the healing process from gossip and meddling. He draws on Philemon and Onesimus, the prodigal son, and the unforgiving servant to illustrate genuine reconciliation. Speaker: Brent Moody · Scripture: Phi 20 Video and transcript: https://www.timberlandchurch.org/sermons/preserving-fellowship-restoring-trust
Brent Moody preaches from the book of Philemon, focusing on Paul's role as a mediator who reconciles Philemon and Onesimus. He describes qualities of a godly mediator: entering conflict, representing both sides fairly, refusing to excuse sin or weaponize truth, and bearing the cost of reconciliation. Speaker: Brent Moody · Scripture: Phi 1-25 Video and transcript: https://www.timberlandchurch.org/sermons/preserving-fellowship-pauls-perspective
Brent Moody preaches on Onesimus' return to Philemon (Philemon 1; Matthew 5:23-24), showing that Christians must fix broken fellowship by humbly taking the first step and owning their failures rather than justifying or excusing wrongs. Speaker: Brent Moody · Scripture: Mt 5:23-24 Video and transcript: https://www.timberlandchurch.org/sermons/preserving-fellowship-onesimus-perspective
Brent Moody preaches on the book of Philemon, using Colossians 3:22-4:1 and other texts to explore how Paul appeals to Philemon to forgive and restore Onesimus. He focuses on remembering who you are in Christ and remembering that spiritual family bonds outweigh personal grievances when preserving fellowship through conflict. Speaker: Brent Moody · Scripture: Col 3:22 Video and transcript: https://www.timberlandchurch.org/sermons/preserving-fellowship-philemons-perspective
Brent Moody examines John 17:20-23 and Ephesians 4:1-6 to show that unity among believers testifies to the world about God, then works backward through Matthew 18 to explain how godly character must undergird any procedure for confronting sin and restoring a brother. He introduces the week's series on Philemon, noting how Paul's appeal for Onesimus models forgiveness and reconciliation. Speaker: Brent Moody · Scripture: Jn 17:20-23 Video and transcript: https://www.timberlandchurch.org/sermons/preserving-fellowship-unity-forgiveness
Reagan McClenny continues a class series on the Holy Spirit, addressing audience questions about imagery of the Spirit and the use of masculine pronouns for a grammatically neuter Greek word. He then examines passages from John, Romans, Hebrews, Revelation, and Acts to show a recurring pattern: the Spirit reveals truth, it is written down, and hearers respond, with discussion following on providence and God's ongoing work. Speaker: Reagan McClenny Video and transcript: https://www.timberlandchurch.org/sermons/the-holy-spirit-class-8-the-working-of-the-spirit-part-3
Reagan McClenny continues a class on the Holy Spirit, examining Hebrews 1-4 and 1 Corinthians 13 to show the Spirit's primary role in revealing and confirming God's word to the apostles. He argues that once revelation was completed, this direct revelatory work ceased, though the Spirit still works today through the word, while leaving open questions about other possible ways He may work. Speaker: Reagan McClenny Video and transcript: https://www.timberlandchurch.org/sermons/the-holy-spirit-class-7-he-working-of-the-spirit-part-2
Reagan McClenny continues a class on the Holy Spirit, examining the direct and indirect operation of the Spirit through examples from Acts (Cornelius, Peter, Philip and the Ethiopian eunuch, Paul's journeys). He argues the Spirit's leading in Scripture always came through clear, comprehensible words rather than feelings, and closes by pointing to the Spirit's ongoing indirect work through the word of God. Speaker: Reagan McClenny Video and transcript: https://www.timberlandchurch.org/sermons/the-holy-spirit-class-6-the-working-of-the-spirit-part-1
A teaching class on the use of the Hebrew word "ruach" (spirit) in the Old Testament, surveying its many meanings such as breath, wind, mind, and the Holy Spirit. The lesson connects these Old Testament concepts—creation, life, wisdom, and God's presence—to New Testament teaching, including Paul's speech in Acts 17 and Jesus' words to Nicodemus in John 3. Video and transcript: https://www.timberlandchurch.org/sermons/the-holy-spirit-class-5-spirit-in-the-old-testament
Reagan McClenny examines Luke 24 and Acts 1–2, along with John 13–17, to show that many promises about the Holy Spirit (baptism of the Spirit, power, guidance into truth) were specifically given to the apostles rather than to all Christians generally. He argues that failing to distinguish this leads to incorrect conclusions about the Holy Spirit's work today.

Reagan McClenny continues a class on the Holy Spirit, arguing from Scripture that the Spirit is deity, is a distinct person, is distinct from the Father and Son, and yet God is one. He uses passages like Acts 5, Hebrews 9, Matthew 3 and 28, John 16-17, and 1 Corinthians 12 to establish these truths while warning against analogies like modalism that go beyond what Scripture teaches. Speaker: Reagan McClenny Video and transcript: https://www.timberlandchurch.org/sermons/the-holy-spirit-class-3-the-holy-spirit-as-deity-and-person
Reagan McClenny continues a class on the Holy Spirit by examining the many uses of the Greek word "pneuma" (spirit) in passages like Luke 1, John 4, and Romans 8. He teaches that Scripture uses "spirit" variously for the Holy Spirit, human spirit, character/disposition, and more, urging careful reading to avoid confusing these uses. Speaker: Reagan McClenny Video and transcript: https://www.timberlandchurch.org/sermons/the-holy-spirit-class-2-spirit-in-the-new-testament
Reagan McClenny begins a class series on the Holy Spirit, using Acts 19:1-2 to explore why the Spirit is often neglected or misunderstood. He surveys the many uses of the Greek word pneuma (spirit) throughout the New Testament, encouraging careful, contextual study.
