As the Davidic psalms take us inside the heart of David, so do Proverbs, Ecclesiastes and Song of Songs take us inside the heart of Solomon. In 1 Kings 4: 32 we read that Solomon “spoke three thousand proverbs.” In the book of Proverbs we have 375 of them. In the classical genre of “advice to a son” literature, Proverbs offers sound advice for a young person going out into the world for the first time.

H. A. Ironside wrote more than 80 books and pamphlets, and it can be said in a true sense that every one of them was about the Cross of Christ. But the sermon presented here is specifically about the Cross of Christ.

In this book, the Weeping Prophet Jeremiah called for Israel to turn away from their immorality and idolatry, back to the one true God. Join Skip Heitzig for a deeper look at this judgment-filled yet deeply emotional book.

With the conflict of sin fully resolved and “the great and dreadful day of the Lord” a memory, our linear narrative doubles back on itself: Revelation 20-22 bring us back to a new beginning. In Revelation 21: 1-5 we read: “Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband."

The book of Romans is the manifesto of Christian freedom, the Gospel according to grace. Skip Heitzig teaches how Romans reveals that the believer’s liberty is in Christ, apart from the Law.

Jacob and his wives produce twelve sons, the founders of the twelve tribes of Israel. Jacob’s eleventh son, Joseph, is his favorite, yet none of the twelve tribes is named after him! This is Joseph’s story.

We are meeting for the purpose of getting a fuller understanding of the powers that are latent within us. Our prayers, our meditations, and all of our words, should tend to the one point in the lesson - strength. Remember, this is a school in which the Lord of the universe is the teacher. As students, we should demonstrate the lesson as we proceed. As students of truth, we know that there is one universal strength, "in you all, through you all and above you all," and that man expresses that strength. And let us be "instant," as Paul says, in our prayer for strength.

Paul wrote to the Colossians to counteract Gnosticism, a mixture of heresies that had invaded the church. The theme of the book, as Skip Heitzig teaches, is that the believer is complete in Christ.

In this study of Jonah, Skip Heitzig shows how one of the most well-known stories of the Old Testament still has implications for us today: God's love and mercy is relentless, and he can use even the most reluctant of people to do incredible things.

Join Skip Heitzig for this topical study in the encouraging book of Ephesians, written and narrated so that those in the body of Christ may grow in maturity and walk in the light.

It is one thing to conquer a land; it is quite another to settle it and live in it. At this point in our story, Israel is not a nation; it is at best a loose confederation of tribes, each living in its own territory, isolated by rivers, mountains, valleys and other natural terrain. When an outside threat intrudes, the tribes coalesce, a leader (called a “judge”) emerges, and he (or she, in the case of Deborah) deals with the threat. There are 13 such leaders in Judges, and as our story progresses, they become more and more corrupt.

In this sermon, John Calvin ascribes free will to all people in the sense that they act voluntarily, not by compulsion. He elaborated his position by allowing that man has choice, and that it is self-determined and that his actions stem from his own voluntary choosing.

Joel is a dual prophecy. Its immediate context is the plague of locusts that was afflicting the land, but ultimately it exalts the Day of the Lord. Skip Heitzig teaches this short but powerful book.

When the kingship and the priesthood become corrupt, God often raises a great prophet to counter them. Ahab reigns over the northern kingdom of Israel (870-853 B.C.) and Asa over the southern kingdom of Judah (910-869 B.C.). Ahab “did more evil in the eyes of the Lord than any of those before him. To counter such massive corruption and idolatry, God raises one of his greatest prophets, Elijah. His story begins here.

At the end of Judges (c. 1000-1050 B.C.) we read: “In those days Israel had no king, and everyone did that which was right in his own eyes” (Judges 21: 25). It was a time of moral, political and economic chaos. As we move into 1 Samuel, things get worse. Although Samuel strives mightily to bring the Israelites back to God, the priesthood and the people continue their downward spiral.

In this lecture we introduce the four foundational principles upon which our Logos Bible Study program is built. The Bible is: 1) rooted in geography; 2) it emerges from history; 3) it is—in its final, finished form—a unified literary work and 4) it is the Word of God.

A motivational journey into how to develop credibility based on trust, replace conflict with cooperation, and create success while remaining true to your values.

The book of Job asks the great questions of life: What is the reason for suffering? Where is God when I suffer? Skip Heitzig takes us through this timeless book on God’s sovereignty.
