This Bible study, is a heartfelt teaching led by guest teacher Dave Bigler at Faith Chapel Corinth. Dave begins with a tribute to Pastor Russ Melville, who is recovering from a serious car accident, explaining that he is glad to be part of Renewal Prayer Network and it's support of the congregation during this time. Using a relatable analogy of struggling to keep a fire lit with wet logs, Bigler illustrates the spiritual danger of isolation. He explains that just as logs burn brighter when pushed together, Christians are empowered and "kindled" when they gather in authentic community rather than trying to sustain their faith alone.

The core of the teaching focuses on Hebrews 10:19-25, where Dave explores the profound access believers now have to God through the sacrifice of Jesus. He breaks down the significance of the torn veil in the temple, symbolizing that the "Holy of Holies" is no longer off-limits to the people of GOd. By examining the roles of Jesus as our High Priest and the necessity of a "cleansed conscience," Dave exhorts the congregation to hold fast to their hope without wavering. The study concludes with a call to active exhortation—lovingly urging one another toward good works and maintaining the habit of meeting together as the "day of the Lord" approaches.
