Calvary Church with Skip Heitzig

Galatians 3 from the series 48 Galatians - 2024 with Skip Heitzig from Calvary Church.

This teaching is from the series of Topical Teachings with Nate Heitzig from Calvary Church.

Rest - Matthew 11:28-30 - Brian Nixon from the Guest Speaker series at Calvary Church.

An old hymn reads, “There’s room at the cross for you; there’s room at the cross for you; though millions have come, there’s still room for one; yes, there’s room at the cross for you.” Our weekend series, In the Room, has highlighted the unparalleled benefits of gathering together as believers. But what happens when we need more room? How do we make more room? How are we to “compel them to come in, that my house may be filled” (Luke 14:23)?

Galatians 2 from the series 48 Galatians - 2024 with Skip Heitzig from Calvary Church.

From the Ground - John 12:23-26 - from the series of Easter Messages with Skip Heitzig from Calvary Church.

Today we are entering into Passion Week—commemorating Jesus’ final days leading up to the cross, His burial, and His resurrection. We are all familiar with these events. As Jesus came into the city of Jerusalem, the crowd placed palm branches on the ground. In a few days, Jesus would be crucified, and they would place His body in the ground. But three days later, He would rise from the ground. Let’s note three comparisons of things that may be good versus something that’s best.

In the Room—We Find Purpose - Romans 12:1-8 - Nate Heitzig - from the series In the Room with Skip Heitzig from Calvary Church.

2 Kings 23:15-25:30 from the series 12 2 Kings - 2023 with Skip Heitzig from Calvary Church.

In order to discover what Jesus intended for the church He came to establish (remember He said, “I will build My church”), we need to examine carefully the prototype—the first church in the book of Acts. In combing through this text the last few weeks, we have been able to get a sense of the style, structure, and service of the early church. Today we notice their generous hearts toward one another and in the cause of Christ. Because they were openhearted, they were also openhanded.

2 Kings 21:1-23:13 from the series 12 2 Kings - 2023 with Skip Heitzig from Calvary Church.

When God works in a person’s life, there is profound change. When God’s people see that change, it produces a sense of awe and wonder. It also provides encouragement that God will do it again and again. When we gather together and hear one another’s stories and witness one another’s victories, we are inspired. Today we consider the power of God working not just through a sermon or through a worship service, but through the individual lives of all God’s people.

2 Kings 19:29-20:21 from the series 12 2 Kings - 2023 with Skip Heitzig from Calvary Church.

The term worship comes from an older English word, worth-ship, which means to give something worth or to attribute value to something or someone. In its purest form, worship acknowledges who God is, gives Him the glory that He alone deserves, and honors Him with our lips and lives. In the Old and New Testaments, worship was both personal and a community activity. Let’s peek at the very first church to gain insights on what worshiping together in the room looks like.

2 Kings 18:1-19:28 from the series 12 2 Kings - 2023 with Skip Heitzig from Calvary Church.

There is an epidemic of loneliness in our society as people long for a place to feel safe and belong. The truth is, we were not built for isolation—and that's why God created the church and community. In this message, Nate Heitzig shares what happens when you get in the room with God's people.

2 Kings 17:1-18:4 from the series 12 2 Kings - 2023 with Skip Heitzig from Calvary Church.

There are several activities that take place when we gather together in the room. Conversations take place, prayers are uttered, songs are vocalized, hugs are exchanged, children are attended to, cars are parked, coffee is brewed, and volunteers joyfully serve. But one activity is at the epicenter of it all—the teaching of (and listening to) God’s Word. We make this the bulk of our weekly gatherings. Why is that so? Moreover, why can’t we just stay home and watch it all online?

2 Kings 15-16 from the series 12 2 Kings - 2023 with Skip Heitzig from Calvary Church.

Today we begin a new series we are calling In the Room. We will consider why it is so vital to gather as God’s people, and the benefits we receive when we do. We each have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, but personal does not mean private. Our lives are meant to be lived in community with others. Today we will take on the role of a reporter, examining a weekend event in the life of the early church to understand the significance of this experience.

As we ring in the New Year, we also want to ring in a fresh start. We want to be different, better. But lasting change doesn’t happen through New Year’s resolutions. Instead of trying to fix our bad habits, our flesh, we must begin submitting to the Spirit—only then will everything else fall into place. In this message, Nate Heitzig reflects on some truths we’ve learned in our Kingdom City series, sharing how we can change 2024 by becoming resilient disciples of Jesus.

2 Kings 11-12 from the series 12 2 Kings - 2023 with Skip Heitzig from Calvary Church.

Today we bring the series Kingdom City to an end. We have explored what it means to live as kingdom people, to be representatives of the King until He returns. We have examined the lives of people who influenced others with their kingdom-minded lifestyles. But today we consider the culmination of kingdom living, which is the future kingdom itself. There are four distinct experiences that sum up the announcement and inauguration of the coming future kingdom.
