In late 31 AD, after the Roman senators murdered Lucius Sejanus, the Roman Emperor Tiberius's closest confidant, the Empire was forever changed.

The early church in Galatia faced a theological crisis. A group of legalistic Jews said Gentile converts had to keep Mosaic law to be saved. Paul's answering letter provided a clear statement of the doctrine of justification by grace through faith alone and has played a strategic role in the history of the church. In this verse-by-verse study of Galatians, Skip Heitzig explores the freedom we have in Christ.

Jesus’ parables. They are widely known–or at least often referenced. But does that mean they are well understood? Having slipped into the lingua franca of our day, we could be missing some of what He was communicating. If familiarity breeds contempt, perhaps our sense that we know these stories insulates us from what Jesus was saying about life with God.

What do you think of when you think about the book of Revelation? Prophecy, apocalypse, rapture? Revelation rarely shows up in the pulpits of mainline Christian churches, and many progressives feel as if Revelation is only for "the end is near" apocalyptics or Christian Nationalists and QAnon theorists. But the book of Revelation offers so much more if we're willing to crack it open in new ways. The End Is the Beginning cuts through the echo chamber of rapture-haunted apocalyptic anxiety with a clear picture of God's persistent love for all that was, and is, and will be.

We live in a world of radical individualism, where people care more about satisfying their own needs than they do about the needs of others.

The reason for this writing was to hopefully give a fuller understanding of every major subject Apostle Paul mentioned in the book of Colossians by writing a short chapter on each subject. At times when Paul used a word, I would write a chapter on that particular word. Not that I am smarter than the listener, but perhaps placing what knowledge I have of the bible after sixty-eight years in the ministry which I consider to be the word of God, and that the only way to true faith is to believe what is written, and to help people see themselves as God sees them.
