The apostle Paul wrote the letter of 1 Thessalonians to encourage new believers in Thessalonica to stand firm in their faith, live purely and orderly, and take comfort in Christ's second coming. Join Pastor Skip Heitzig as he takes us through this book and applies its precepts to everyday life.

This audiobook contains 45 selected passages from the Book of Mormon, chosen for their focus on the core doctrines of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Each passage is prefaced by a brief introduction, identifying the circumstances of the sermon, prophecy, or vision. The selected passage is then read by one of seven narrators - men and women of a variety of ages.

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.

Fifty years of Jesuit spirituality and scholarship come to full expression in Fr. Harvey Egan’s audio collection, 77 Great Catholic Homilies. Divided into five subsections - by feasts, family occasions, Christ-focused subjects, and miscellaneous reflections - the series telescopes from the general to the particular in fluid motions.

Genesis means origin, source, or beginning. In this series Skip Heitzig takes us on a fast-paced journey from creation and the beginning of man to the origin of sin and God's wonderful plan to rescue mankind from sin through the promised Messiah.

Man has trampled God's law underfoot. In doing so, he has misused himself and trampled on the God-given rights of his fellowman. He is conscious of his guilt and seeks self-justification through self-atonement. The author makes it perfectly clear that there is only one way of escape from present slough and despair. It is in turning in heartfelt repentance to God who has already provided atonement in the sacrifice of his son. And true repentance includes a return to the doing of God's will as revealed in God's word, the Bible.

In Isaiah Part 2, we enter the historical interlude. We learn in Isaiah 1: 1 that Isaiah functions as a prophet during the reigns of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah, kings of Judah: That is, from 740 – 686 B.C. During that time, two major historical events occur: 1) Assyria’s attack on the northern kingdom of Israel in 722 B.C. and 2) Assyria’s attack on Jerusalem in 701 B.C., while Hezekiah is king and Isaiah is prophet.

That attack in 701 B.C.—and God miraculously saving Jerusalem—foreshadows greater events to come.

In Second Corinthians, the apostle Paul defends his ministry while stressing the encouragement that believers should offer to one another. Pastor Skip Heitzig highlights this very personal letter.

After staging on the Plains of Jericho, the Israelites cross the Jordan River and attack Jericho. It is springtime; the Jordan River is at flood stage; the Israelites approach a heavily fortified city across five miles of open territory; and they attack a city on a plateau, moving up hill. How in the world do the Israelites accomplish this daunting task?

In 1 Kings 4: 32, we read that Solomon’s songs “numbered a thousand and five”: The Song of Songs is #1 on the Hit Parade. A frankly erotic love poem, the Song of Songs speaks of fiery romantic love and crushing loss. As an allegory, it may also speak of God’s love for Israel and of Christ’s love for the Church.

God then gives regulations concerning day-to-day life: What foods may be eaten; what clothing may be worn, and so on. God also institutes the holiest day on the Jewish calendar, the Day of Atonement, or Yom Kippur. It is to be celebrated in perpetuity.

Today I want to tell you the story of a beautiful young woman who proved in her own experience that there is one divine presence in everything and in everyone. This is the story of a young school teacher who learned how to solve her problems through meditation and prayer.

Every year, Christians around the world celebrate the final events of Jesus’ life. These days were the culmination of not only his incredible ministry, but of God’s plan from eternity past. And despite the fact that we know these stories so well, there is always something new to learn. Pastor Tyler Warner presents eight different lessons and meditations on the events surrounding Christ’s death and resurrection. These familiar stories have proven themselves to be timeless.

Do you know how to swim against the current? When Jesus came to earth, He brought a whole new way of thinking that challenged the religious leaders of His day. With concepts like loving your enemies, the ideas Christ presented in the Sermon on the Mount still challenge today’s worldly thinking. In this series, Pastor Skip Heitzig looks at what it means to be citizens of God's kingdom, covering the basic fundamentals of Christian living.

Preached at the Providence Chapel in London on July 11, 1847, Philpot offered his perspective on God’s observations and his work. Our world as well as God’s communications to us have always come from an interchange between light and dark. God watches over us and sees where he needs to build, and where he needs to destroy.

The spirit is not well known in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. It is not the Holy Ghost, but is what the Holy Ghost is made of. This book goes over what the spirit is from scripture and also how to identify it.

The Church is simply a group of saved sinners, and because of this we face a variety of issues. How do we deal with them? Focusing on the letter of 1 Corinthians, Pastor Skip Heitzig discusses Church divisions, sexual impurity, marriage difficulties, personal liberties, and other problems in the body of Christ and looks at what God's word says about resolving them.

"Baptismal Regeneration" is a classic sermon by Charles Spurgeon, first delivered on Sunday Morning, June 5, 1864. This narration is exquisitely performed by Bryan Nyman.

The Beatitudes are the kingdom commission to the new Israel of God, and R. J. Rushdoony elucidates this powerful thesis in an accessible and engaging commentary on the world's greatest sermon.
