Standing for God's truth is a serious thing. Standing against it carries major repercussions. In this series, Skip Heitzig presents Jude's call to get in the ring - a call that is as relevant today as it was when Jude penned his letter. Believers must defend the gospel to unbelievers.

When Jesus asked his disciples: "Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?" Peter responded, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."

Join us to learn strong principles for godly living and reach new heights in our faith as we work our way through Peter's epistles.

Upon This Rock teaching series by Pastor Skip Heitzig. When most people hear the word church, they think of a structure with a steeple, or an institution filled with men in black robes. But what did Jesus mean when He said, "Upon this rock I will build my church"? What does He want it to be, and how can it be established, built up, and encouraged to grow?

The book of Acts is Luke's record of the apostles' work after Jesus' ascension, though it might better be called the Acts of the Holy Spirit in the Early Church. Join us for this series with Pastor Skip Heitzig, as we see how Jesus continues working today through the spirit-empowered church.

The Church. Who really needs to be a part of it? Why should we belong to something so archaic and so narrow? The culture around us seems to ask this question relentlessly, but what is the answer?

Are you satisfied with just getting through life or do you want to make a difference? God calls each of us to play an important role during our lifetime, but we often forget to seek His will.

Abraham had both ups and downs when it came to his spiritual journey, but he made a lasting mark deep within the fabric of three monotheistic religions: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
