In the Acts of the Apostles, the church of Jesus Christ expands from Jerusalem out into the world. Skip Heitzig teaches how the power of the Holy Spirit began to transform mankind.

John 20:31 - Believe: 879 is an epic journey through the book of John, led by Pastor Skip Heitzig, of Calvary of Albuquerque. As we explore each of the 879 verses of this gospel, we'll grow in grace and in our knowledge of Jesus Christ. From His pre-incarnate existence, to His public ministry, through His death and His resurrection, we'll traverse familiar territory and embark on new adventures of faith.

The desire for peace has always been part of human history. Activists protest for it, celebrities demand it, and pop culture makes it a memorable catchphrase, but humankind's natural inclination toward conflict has kept peace out of reach. True peace is so much more than the absence of conflict, and its only source is the Prince of Peace. He alone offers a lasting peace that can't be found in or understood by this world. In this series, Skip Heitzig explores the theme of peace throughout the Bible, including internal, interpersonal, and eternal facets.

Over 175 million people in the United States need some sort of vision correction. From glasses to contacts and corneal reshaping to corrective surgery, there's no question that seeing clearly improves people's quality of life. But what about our spiritual vision? With so many religious, philosophical, and ideological lenses to look through, how do we find the right lens? In this series, Skip Heitzig brings the core doctrines of Christian faith into clear focus. These are the truths that define who God is, who we are, and the choices that every person has to make.

The story of Ruth and Boaz is one of the Bible's most beloved love stories. But far more than a tale of human romance and relational interaction, the book of Ruth elevates the theme of love to the realm of providence and redemption. In this study through Ruth, Skip Heitzig shows how God works in the lives of ordinary people to accomplish his purposes and how, in marrying Ruth, Boaz exemplifies a kinsman-redeemer.

God often uses the least likely people to accomplish his will, even working in spite of our human tendency to do what's right in our own eyes. In this verse-by-verse study through the book of Judges, Skip Heitzig explores a dark and difficult season in Israel's history, revealing not just the dangerous grasp of the sin cycle but also God's plan to appoint imperfect leaders to deliver his people. We discover that even when we're at our worst, God still makes a way to break our patterns of sin and lead us into redemption.

In this age of information overload and misinformation, it's difficult to know which sources to trust - especially in a crisis. Fact-checking is common as we try to prove and disprove reports and then decide what to believe. Although fear and mistrust are a natural response in times of trouble, God wants us to develop a different response: faith. So what does it take to cultivate a faith that overrides fear?

Millions of Americans have been ordered to shelter in place during this global health crisis. It's an aggressive measure to attempt to control the spread of an aggressive virus. When we shelter in place, we commit to confine ourselves to our homes, leaving only for essential errands like medical appointments and getting groceries. What if in our confinement we also commit to shelter in grace?

You will find no greater theme in all the Bible than the scarlet thread of redemption. It runs through every book, from beginning to end. Follow this thread, and you'll find yourself filled with constant wonder and gratitude over all that Jesus has done and will do for you-and what He is preparing for you in heaven.

Since the earliest days of Christianity, believers have gathered in communities large and small, lifting one another up through the best and worst moments of life. It's where we feel the power of God's presence when our voices are raised in worship that touches heaven. It's where we learn and grow together. When we give as one, our generosity multiplies kingdom impact. Our faith is inspired and strengthened as we witness life change and miracles in our midst. It all happens here—In the Room.

Paul wrote 1 Thessalonians to the young church in Thessalonica, to encourage believers who were facing persecution. In this series, Pastor Skip Heitzig explores how this letter gently urges us to live lives that please God—through choosing purity, loving others deeply, having endurance in persecution, and walking faithfully in everyday responsibilities.

The people of God have always held dual citizenship in heaven and on earth. We live in the world and operate in its systems, but we are part of a spiritual kingdom. We're called to love the city we're in and reach its people as long as we're here. Ultimately, Jesus will establish His kingdom on earth, but until then we are called to be His ambassadors here and now. In this teaching series, Skip Heitzig explores what it means to "occupy till [He comes]" (Luke 19:13, KJV) as we discover our role in the kingdom city.

Not every monster lurks under the bed. Demons and dark spiritual forces have been downplayed as entertaining mythical figures for centuries, while insidious and destructive sins have been disguised as fun and freedom. But the truth is far more sinister. In this weekend series, we'll expose the hidden idols and dangers of our culture and discover the true freedom that can be found in Christ alone.

At the first moment of creation, the Lord's Spirit hovered over the waters (see Genesis 1:2). And throughout history, He has chosen to enter our imperfect world to reveal Himself and draw near to His chosen people in moments when ordinary places became holy ground. Today, He still meets us in our everyday lives. And when we respond to His nearness with reverence, the mundane becomes sacred—our homes, workplaces, and relationships become holy ground.

Moving from a job in the king's palace to a construction zone might seem like a demotion to some, but for Nehemiah it was a divine calling. After a lifetime in exile from his spiritual and ancestral home, his heart ached to see Jerusalem restored. In this verse-by-verse study of Nehemiah, we see the scarlet thread of redemption, the Lord's faithfulness, and the cooperation and commitment required for effective kingdom work.

Sometimes the Bible reads like a museum gallery: Stories unfolding in bright swatches of color and brushstrokes of glory, with larger-than-life figures like Abraham, David, and Jesus Himself showcased in beautiful lighting with polished plaques gleaming beneath them. But hidden in the corners of the gallery and tucked between the pages of Scripture are the stories that have been passed over—ordinary people who remain minimized, forgotten, or unseen. In this teaching series, we'll encounter those who may have been overlooked for centuries, but were deeply seen, called, and used by God.

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.

From the garden of Eden to the garden of Gethsemane, trees have borne silent witness to the long arc of our redemption story. Christmas is more than a holiday we observe each year—it's a special piece of a much bigger story. In this teaching series, Pastor Skip Heitzig walks through some of the trees that mark key events in the story of God and His people—from original sin to the birth, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Being a Christian is hard! Whether you've been a believer for a day or a decade, faith in Jesus won't make you immune to the challenges and troubles of life.

Whether you're seeking answers, boldness, or peace, you'll find help in the Bible. God's Word—the ultimate source of truth, wisdom, and supernatural comfort—provides perfect guidance from our loving and all-knowing Creator.
