  1. 25Anna: Serving God in Old AgeAnna is one of the Bible’s most unusual women. She, along with a man named Simeon, had spent a lifetime in loyal service to God and was finally able to meet her Messiah.

  4. 28Nehemiah 12-13After the people recommitted their lives and city to the Lord, Nehemiah returned to serve King Artaxerxes.

In this message, Pastor Skip Heitzig examines the cleansing power of God’s Word as Nehemiah returned once more to call the people to repentance and right living.1 hr 1 min
  5. 29Onesiphorus: A True FriendMost of us have a hard time saying this man’s name, but Paul knew it well. He was a loyal friend to the apostle, especially in his darkest hour. In just three verses we find six characteristics of this wonderful man who’s been overlooked for far too long. If you have a friend like this, you’re blessed.I. RefreshingII. RepetitiousIII. Risk-TakingIV. ResoluteV. RenownedVI. RewardedTalk with God: This week, take time to thank the Lord for the true friends He’s blessed you with, as you pray over their lives.Talk with others: Ask your friends how you can come alongside them as “iron sharpens iron” (Proverbs 27:17) in their walk through this season of life.Talk with kids: What is the wise way to live?49 min

  11. 35Ladies and Gentlemen, Meet JesusToday we begin an extended series on the gospel of Mark, a document that reveals the story of Jesus Christ and His first followers. Jesus stands at the very center of history’s stage. He has no equals; He has no peers. Let’s examine four aspects of this unique book.I. The Presentation of Jesus (“The beginning”)II. The Proclamation of Jesus (“The gospel”)III. The Person of Jesus (“Jesus Christ the Son of God”)IV. The Prediction of Jesus (“As it is written in the Prophets”)Talk with God: Meditate on Ephesians 1:7 and spend time in worship thanking the Lord for His faithfulness to redeem.Talk with others: Invite your friends and family to join you for Easter Sunrise service.Talk with kids: How was Ahab disobedient, stubborn, and greedy?49 min

Paul encouraged them to strengthen their ongoing expression of faith as they inched toward spiritual maturity in spite of the persecution they faced.1 hr 3 min
  13. 37The (Second) Greatest Person Ever BornRalph Waldo Emerson said, “To be great is to be misunderstood.” John the Baptist was certainly that! This unusual figure dominates the first part of Mark’s gospel account. Let’s discover what made him so great and why his role was so important to the ministry of Jesus.I. John Was Anticipated by Scripture (vv. 2-3)II. John Was an Unusual Character (v. 6)III. John Was Preparing the Future (vv. 4-5, 7)IV. John Was Introducing the Savior (vv. 7-8)Talk with God: As you prepare for Easter, ask the Lord to soften your heart, deepen your faith, and draw you closer to Jesus.Talk with others: Invite an unbelieving friend or family member to join you for one of our Good Friday services.Talk with kids: How did Elisha display God’s power?52 min

  15. 39The Small Beginnings of Great ThingsMark shows us “the beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ” (v. 1). After introducing John the Baptist, he includes three (really four) foundational scenes that mark the beginning movement of the gospel—from the lips of Jesus to those who followed Him and then took it around the world.I. Identification (v. 9)II. Confirmation (vv. 10-11)III. Confrontation (vv. 12-13)IV.

  16. 401 Thessalonians 5In 1 Thessalonians 5, Paul closed his letter to the church by calling attention to the future—Christ’s return. He reminded those who were living in sin of the day of judgment. In this message from Pastor Skip Heitzig, we’re reassured God has not called those who believe to wrath and are encouraged to live in anticipation of His return.1 hr 3 min
  17. 41Good Friday Service 2026Jesus’ final words revealed that He bore God’s wrath and provided the way to direct relationship with God for us by willingly giving up His life. In this Good Friday message, Pastor Skip Heitzig studies the crucifixion, the supernatural darkness that followed, and the tearing of the temple veil and urges us to reflect on the ultimate demonstration of love which Jesus poured out on the cross.I. What's Happening in the SkyII. What's Happening in the TempleIII. What's Happening on the Cross42 min
  18. 42What Everyone Desperately NeedsAs we reflect on how spiritual rebirth leads to everlasting life, we can take comfort in knowing Jesus Christ Himself keeps and guards us, and we will one day arrive safely in heaven. Pastor Skip Heitzig urges us to keep our eyes on the resurrected Jesus, who is our Living Hope, because through Him, we have been rescued from hopeless living.I. Hope Now (v. 3)II. Heaven Later (v. 4)III.

  19. 43From Nets to New Adventure“Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.” Those words were spoken by Helen Keller, who lost her sight and hearing before her second birthday. Jesus promises abundant life (an adventure) to those who follow Him. Today we notice three aspects of Jesus’ call to His first followers.I. Their Character (vv. 16, 19)II. Their Calling (vv. 17, 20)III.

  20. 44Esther 1-2The book of Esther reads like a blend of fairy tale and mystery, following a young Jewish woman thrust into a crucial role in saving her people. In chapters 1–2, Pastor Skip Heitzig highlights God’s providential hand as He positioned every detail—from a royal beauty contest to a foiled assassination attempt.1 hr 1 min
  21. 45The Astonishing Authority of ChristMark introduced Jesus as the Son of God and Israel’s Messiah (see v. 1), who proclaimed His purpose to establish the kingdom of God (see v. 15). But such claims must be substantiated by divine authority. So, the author provides three credentials of this Messianic King to prove His office.I. Authority Over Dispassion (vv. 21-22)II. Authority Over Demons (vv. 23-28)III. Authority Over Disease (vv. 29-34)Learn Your Bible: Use your favorite study resources to find cross-reference passages that point to Jesus’ authority in each of the areas we studied today.Love Your Neighbor: Ask God to show you someone in your life who needs to be reminded of His grace, then take one practical step to love them well.Live in Freedom: Is there something in your life—a doubt, struggle, or secret shame—that you haven’t surrendered to the authority of Christ?
