Calvary Church with Skip Heitzig

As believers living in an ungodly world, it's easy to wonder if we can actually make a difference. It can be tempting to complain when we see the darkness and division around us, but God calls us to be His hands—to do the work because our city is worth saving. In this message, Nate Heitzig looks to the life of Nehemiah as we discover how to act as agents of change in our city. This teaching is from the series Kingdom City with Skip Heitzig from Calvary Church.

Today we will conduct a walk-through of every believer’s ultimate destination—the capital city of the eternal state, called New Jerusalem. Unlike New York, New Jersey, New Hampshire, or New Mexico, this future place will have the most unique environment ever. I will touch on seven highlights of this future cityscape that make heaven the world’s most interesting destination. This teaching is from the series The End Is Near? with Skip Heitzig from Calvary Church.

It can be easy to get overwhelmed by circumstances that seem too difficult to face, but as believers, we should approach a situation in light of God's ability to bring us through it. In this message, Skip Heitzig looks at miracles God performed when hope seemed lost as He faithfully provided for the needs of His people. This teaching is from the series 12 2 Kings - 2023 with Skip Heitzig from Calvary Church.

Our ideas about what heaven will be like may not necessarily be how Scripture describes our eternal home. After officiating hundreds of funerals, I’ve heard some pretty bizarre remarks about loved ones turning into angels or greeting St. Peter at heaven’s gates or engaging in their favorite hobbies. As we look at the final phase of heaven, what is called the eternal state, we read things that may be shocking to some, including that it will come complete with a capital city.

Contemplate the phrase the wrath of God. Most people who hear it think of God as some sort of annoyed deity—one who has a short temper and lashes out in uncontrolled rage. Actually, God’s wrath, including His judgment of unbelievers, is part of His moral integrity. God cannot just withhold judgment; that would go against His moral integrity. The final judgment of God will be His great complement to human freedom and choice. For those who choose to live without God, they will! This teaching is from the series The End Is Near? with Skip Heitzig from Calvary Church.

As a society, our attention is often captured by the idea of the afterlife. Many books and movies have been dedicated to the question of what happens next. But the answers can be found in the Word, not the world. In this message from Luke 16, Nate Heitzig explores a glimpse of what comes next and asks, "Do you choose Jesus today?" This teaching is from the series The End Is Near? with Skip Heitzig from Calvary Church.

The phrase perfect government sounds like an oxymoron. Our world has never known such perfection, and Utopia seems to be the stuff of fairytales. But the Bible promises a coming kingdom on earth, ruled by the Messiah, Jesus Christ. These predictions are widely scattered through the Old Testament and reaffirmed in the New. But only in Revelation 20 are we given the duration of one thousand years. Today I want to share four marks of the governmental structure during the millennium.

Can you envision, or even imagine, a world without conflict or war—a peace-filled, fair, and just environment? This has been the stuff of dreams, fairytales, and fiction. Bumper stickers tell us to “Visualize World Peace,” yet we find it impossible to do so because of our own history. But it is actually scheduled to happen for an entire millennium! For the next two weeks, we will explore this theme of the kingdom age—an era dominated by righteousness, justice, and goodness.

The second coming will be the most important event in the world accomplished by the most important person in the world. It has no parallel. The second coming of Christ will be utterly unlike His first coming. The first time He came born in obscurity—unnoticed and unhonored. He shall come the second time in splendor and be seen by all. Billy Graham once said, “The second coming of Christ will be so revolutionary that it will change every aspect of life on this planet.” It will effectively end history as we know it and ready the world for a glorious kingdom age.

The second coming of Jesus Christ is the moment we have all been waiting for—from the very beginning of human history until now. It is the capstone of God’s redemptive plan, and it is the only hope for the future. After history runs its course of rebellion, after Satan’s age-old retaliation, after God’s closing judgments on the earth, the end of the world as we know it will come. There are eight noticeable features of Christ’s second coming. Today we will cover the first four.

The very word Armageddon sends shivers through the soul! Most everyone has heard the term (or seen the movie). The word even gets mentioned from time to time by world leaders. Most everyone understands it to be a reference to some final battle. But today let’s drill down deeper than just a fictional Hollywood film about an asteroid destroyed by a warhead. Today we will examine five facets of this culminating military campaign, including what will bring it to an end.

The infamous number 666 has been the cause of fear and superstition for generations. If people spot it on a license plate or a grocery store receipt, they consider it a bad omen. It’s right up there with the number 13. Many good expositors differ widely when it comes to interpreting its meaning. Will it be an implanted chip? An ID card? A barcode tattooed into the skin or simply a mark identifying allegiance to Antichrist’s kingdom? Today we will consider three additional details of Antichrist’s coming influence and try to drill down on the meaning of the mark of the beast.

Each of us has an empty space in our soul waiting to be filled. But the tendency to fill that hole with people, possessions, or experiences only leaves us dissatisfied and reaching for more. As believers, we choose to acknowledge our dependence upon our Savior and that is the source of our freedom. In this message, Skip Heitzig encourages us to take our doubts and questions to the God who made us.
