Nahum preached judgment to the city of Nineveh, just as Jonah had done 100 years earlier. But the difference, as Skip Heitzig tells us, is that this time there was no great revival.

In our consumer culture, Christmas has become all about getting and giving the latest gadgets and goods. Because of that we've pushed aside the one gift that fulfills our deepest needs: Jesus Christ. In this special series, Pastor Skip Heitzig takes a fresh look at the gifts the wise men brought the child Jesus - gold, frankincense, and myrrh - and the ultimate gift that Jesus offers through salvation.

One of the only things Jesus' disciples asked Him to teach them was to pray. The result is what we've come to call the Lord's Prayer, which could better be called the Disciples' Prayer, since Jesus gave it specifically to them. In this series, Pastor Skip Heitzig takes a deeper look at this often-recited - and often-overlooked - prayer to find applications for our own prayer lives.

Over 175 million people in the United States need some sort of vision correction. From glasses to contacts and corneal reshaping to corrective surgery, there's no question that seeing clearly improves people's quality of life. But what about our spiritual vision? With so many religious, philosophical, and ideological lenses to look through, how do we find the right lens? In this series, Skip Heitzig brings the core doctrines of Christian faith into clear focus. These are the truths that define who God is, who we are, and the choices that every person has to make.

The story of Ruth and Boaz is one of the Bible's most beloved love stories. But far more than a tale of human romance and relational interaction, the book of Ruth elevates the theme of love to the realm of providence and redemption.

God often uses the least likely people to accomplish his will, even working in spite of our human tendency to do what's right in our own eyes. In this verse-by-verse study through the book of Judges, Skip Heitzig explores a dark and difficult season in Israel's history, revealing not just the dangerous grasp of the sin cycle but also God's plan to appoint imperfect leaders to deliver his people. We discover that even when we're at our worst, God still makes a way to break our patterns of sin and lead us into redemption.

In this age of information overload and misinformation, it's difficult to know which sources to trust - especially in a crisis. Fact-checking is common as we try to prove and disprove reports and then decide what to believe. Although fear and mistrust are a natural response in times of trouble, God wants us to develop a different response: faith. So what does it take to cultivate a faith that overrides fear?

When the wrath of God meets the righteousness of God, where does that leave us? The apostle Paul says that we are marked by sin at birth but marked righteous at salvation. In this series through Romans, Skip Heitzig explains the essentials of Christian doctrine that can transform your thoughts, words, and actions. Move from sinner to saint and from saved to Spirit-filled as you inscribe the essence of the gospel onto your heart and soul.

The desire for peace has always been part of human history. Activists protest for it, celebrities demand it, and pop culture makes it a memorable catchphrase, but humankind's natural inclination toward conflict has kept peace out of reach. True peace is so much more than the absence of conflict, and its only source is the Prince of Peace. He alone offers a lasting peace that can't be found in or understood by this world. In this series, Skip Heitzig explores the theme of peace throughout the Bible, including internal, interpersonal, and eternal facets.

When we examine biblical truth in the light of science, reason, and reality, we can respond to the doubts we hear from friends and family, culture and social media, and even our own hearts.

Being a Christian is hard! Whether you've been a believer for a day or a decade, faith in Jesus won't make you immune to the challenges and troubles of life. Believers often face unique difficulties because of their faith. We all need a little help, and we find the help we need in Scripture. Whether you're seeking answers, boldness, or peace, you'll find help in the Bible. God's Word—the ultimate source of truth, wisdom, and supernatural comfort—provides perfect guidance from our loving and all-knowing Creator.

The Hamas terror attacks against Israeli citizens on October 7, 2023, were just the beginning of a struggle unlike anything Israel has seen since the Holocaust. As the situation in Israel escalates and the days grow darker, we must draw nearer to Jesus and hold on to God's promises that He is in control. In this series which includes interviews with experts, Skip Heitzig provides insight into the conflict in Israel and encourages us to "pray for the peace of Jerusalem" (Psalm 122:6).

From the garden of Eden to the garden of Gethsemane, trees have borne silent witness to the long arc of our redemption story. Christmas is more than a holiday we observe each year—it's a special piece of a much bigger story. In this teaching series, Pastor Skip Heitzig walks through some of the trees that mark key events in the story of God and His people—from original sin to the birth, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

The early church in Galatia faced a theological crisis. A group of legalistic Jews said Gentile converts had to keep Mosaic law to be saved. Paul's answering letter provided a clear statement of the doctrine of justification by grace through faith alone and has played a strategic role in the history of the church. In this verse-by-verse study of Galatians, Skip Heitzig explores the freedom we have in Christ.

Since the earliest days of Christianity, believers have gathered in communities large and small, lifting one another up through the best and worst moments of life. It's where we feel the power of God's presence when our voices are raised in worship that touches heaven. It's where we learn and grow together. When we give as one, our generosity multiplies kingdom impact. Our faith is inspired and strengthened as we witness life change and miracles in our midst. It all happens here—In the Room.
