Join Skip Heitzig as he looks at the minor prophet book of Joel, which was written during a time of famine and locusts in the land of Israel. In it, Joel warned the nation of coming judgment and the impending day of the Lord as he appealed to the people to repent.

As detailed by Pastor Skip Heitzig, First Samuel tells the stories of a prophet, a politician, and a poet - Samuel, Saul, and David - and how God used them to form the nation of Israel.

The book of Judges presents the nation of Israel as a permissive society. Skip Heitzig details the void of leadership in the nation, along with the victories and problems that result.

Paul called the church "the pillar and ground of the truth" (1 Timothy 3:15). If we as believers are to fulfill that purpose, we need to understand where the church came from, where it's going, and why it exists. Join Pastor Skip in this series to learn about Jesus' intent and mission for the church, the diversity of spiritual gifts within the body, and the church's role in God's plan for mankind.

God continues prescribing rules and regulations for his people, including sexual and priestly behavior, and a comprehensive cycle of annual festivals, many of which are still observed today.

The Babylonians lay siege to Jerusalem in 588 B.C., and the city falls on August 14, 586 B.C. The siege of a fortified city is a dreadful thing to behold. Food and supplies quickly run out: Starvation, sickness and death follow. Jeremiah is inside Jerusalem during the 2-year siege, and Lamentations is his eyewitness account.

In Isaiah Part 2, we enter the historical interlude. We learn in Isaiah 1: 1 that Isaiah functions as a prophet during the reigns of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah, kings of Judah: That is, from 740 – 686 B.C. During that time, two major historical events occur: 1) Assyria’s attack on the northern kingdom of Israel in 722 B.C. and 2) Assyria’s attack on Jerusalem in 701 B.C., while Hezekiah is king and Isaiah is prophet.

That attack in 701 B.C.—and God miraculously saving Jerusalem—foreshadows greater events to come.

Zephaniah wrote during a time of spiritual revival in the nation. As Skip Heitzig teaches, the theme of the book is that God will judge unrighteousness, but in the end He will save His people.

As David’s star rises, Saul becomes ever more paranoid, sinking into a morass of delusion and despair, finally ordering David’s assassination. Informed of Saul’s plan, David runs, becoming a wanted felon and an outlaw. For ten years David works as a mercenary for Israel’s enemies, the Philistines, gathering around him a band of very tough characters that becomes his inner circle. The action culminates at Mt. Gilboa, where Saul and his sons are killed and the Philistines thunderously defeat Israel.

As Saul crumbles under the weight of kingship, a young man rises to take his place: David. As Jonathan Kirsch observes in King David: The Real Life of the Man Who Ruled Israel (New York: Ballantine Books, 2000), the story of David is “a work of genius that anticipates the romantic lyricism and tragic grandeur of Shakespeare, the political wile of Machiavelli, and the modern psychological insight of Freud." David is one of the greatest characters in world literature; he is also my favorite character in the Bible.

You shall be holy, for I am holy. (1 Peter 1:16) Can I stand Holy before God? The call to be holy is not optional although our lives often reflect that attitude. It is vital to understand your journey of sanctification. "Set Apart for God" is a study of holiness based on J.C. Ryle's book on holiness complete with discussion questions. These are important questions that a Christian must answer. What is the right knowledge of sin? Where does all sin originate? Do we realize the “amazing sinfulness of sin”? How does genuine Sanctification show itself? Why is holiness so important? How do ...
