The book of First Kings teaches the lesson that danger comes when a nation forgets the Lord. Pastor Skip Heitzig takes us from the reign of Solomon into the era of the divided kingdom.

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.

The march to the Promised Land takes 40 years. But the Israelites do not wander aimlessly in the wilderness during that time. (Recall the old explanation that Moses, like most men, was too stubborn to stop and ask for directions!) Refused passage through Edom on the King’s Highway, Moses diverts northwest to Kadesh Barnea, a large oasis, where the Israelites spend nearly 37 of the 40 years, finally entering the Promised Land through Moab, by a remote and very dangerous desert route.

Upon returning from Africa, the Spirit of the Lord began to convey to Dr. Juanita Bynum that the Body of Christ is coming to the end of faith. What does this mean? We have been introduced to a "form" of faith that has split the Body of Christ into those who have, and those who have not. The “form” of faith says if you have an abundance of “things”, you can easily “name it and claim it.”

Dr. Cook reveals keys about the Holy Spirit that you need to be successful in life.

The story of Hosea and Gomer is probably the greatest love story in all the Bible, because it demonstrates the love God has for His people. Hosea was the first Old Testament prophet to talk about the nature of God. Not only did he talk about it, he acted it out. Hosea took Gomer, a town prostitute, to be his wife. When she eventually left him, Hosea went out to find her and bought her back from the threat of slavery and death. His actions were a prophetic demonstration of God’s love for his people—a foreshadowing of the day when God would give His beloved Son to purchase us and save us ...

Jesus: The Man and His Work, a lecture by the New Thought writer Wallace D. Wattles, offers a refreshingly different perspective on Jesus Christ. According to the author, Jesus of Nazareth was misunderstood by the people of his own time and grossly misrepresented by succeeding generations, especially by those who professed to be his friends and followers.

First Peter was written to comfort the church as it suffered persecution. Pastor Skip Heitzig teaches from this book on how believers are to minister and conduct themselves when suffering.

Third John is a personal letter. The apostle commends some individuals for their goodness and denounces another for his pride. Skip Heitzig explains the background of this short book.

John’s second epistle was a warning to a private individual to avoid false prophets. Pastor Skip Heitzig details how John exalted truth and advised abiding in the doctrine of Christ.

In the book of First Timothy, Paul writes to encourage Timothy, the young pastor of the church at Ephesus. Skip Heitzig teaches how Paul dealt with the creed and the conduct of the church.

The Song of Solomon is an exaltation of human love. Pastor Skip Heitzig shows what this book proclaims about how intimacy and sexuality fit into marriage, and how a marriage matures.

Understanding that faith is a journey, Mark and Roma partnered with Bishop Rodney Sampson to create a collection of authentic sermons compiled by innovative leaders of faith and culture, such as Dr. Jamal Harrison Bryant, senior pastor of The Empowerment Temple in Baltimore, Maryland. In this message, entitled, "I Revolution", Dr. Bryant delivers a companion resource for The Bible series episode entitled "Kingdom".

In this study of the book of Amos, Skip Heitzig takes a look at how this uneducated prophet pronounced judgment on the prosperous yet corrupt nation of Israel and called for them to turn from their sin.

Jesus says we should take the good news of what he has already accomplished for the salvation of mankind to all creation! This task is also known as the great commission. Hence the author of this book unveils the challenges, process, and prospects of carrying out the great commission in the 21st century. The author seeks to encourage the body of Christ and everyone reading this book to partake in the burden, passion, and action of the great commission.

John Jasper (1812-1901) was a significant Baptist preacher known for his vibrant and dramatic speaking style! He presents his case for the sun's motion over a flat Earth in his most well-known sermon, The Sun Do Move, which he preached 273 times due to its widespread demand. As an evangelical Christian, he bases his case on the Bible, including referencing several biblical verses from Scripture.

When the blatantly obscene Broadway play, “Oh! Calcutta!” was scheduled to be performed in Jamie Buckingham’s hometown of Melbourne, Florida, controversy swirled within the community because the actors, both men and women, were going to be performing many of the scenes totally nude in front of their live audience. With this as the backdrop, Jamie spoke to his congregation about how we, as Christians, should respond to the world's godlessness. Should we protest with boycotts and marches and angry slogans on placards? Or is there a better way? How can we be a light in this godless ...

Following the publication of her main book in 1875, Mary Baker Eddy was giving regular lectures in Massachusetts, at Hawthorne Hall, near the Boston Commons and named for Nathaniel Hawthorne. Between the late 1870s and the mid 1880s, with a seating capacity of 250, Eddy regularly filled the hall on Sunday afternoons, with parishioners eager to hear her lectures, which were pivotal in helping to quickly build the Christian Science movement. Christian Healing is a lecture she gave in April of 1880.

This is the quintessential hellfire and damnation sermon. It is one of the most important sermons ever preached in America and reportedly caused mass conversions and repentances during the "Great Awakening" back in 1741. The vivid imagery Edwards used reportedly made some of those who heard it tremble and cry out for mercy. It is an important piece of American Literature, even for those those who totally disagree with the author's view of God as vengeful, angry and a bit cruel.
