This week we launch our new series, "A Reason For Hope". In this series, we focus on the season of advent; looking both behind us and in front of us with anticipation of the arrival of Jesus. In this season, we have a reason for the hope that we have.Today we are focusing on having gratitude in the present and hope for the future because of the truth from the past. Watch today's teaching to hear about the ways that both gratitude and thanksgiving through prayer can help us in this season of advent and preparation.

In a culture that is surrounded by noise, we are invited to make it our ambition to lead a quiet soul, which is the result of a quiet life. How is it that we are to enter into a tranquil, calm, quiet life? That is exactly what Pastor Ron talks about in his teaching titled, "A Quiet Life".In this season of life, it's easy to find ourselves busy and distracted from the things that God has placed before us. This week we identify the reason why God has called us to live a life void of busyness and the ways that we can stay on the path that has been placed before us. Tune in today to hear how you can take action and make it your ambition to live a quiet life.

We are greatly encouraged today as we face our fears and run towards them, knowing that God is with us and that God is for us. Today Pastor John walks us through the character and nature of God. As we read about who God says that he is, we can better understand the God who is walking with us, even as we face our fears.Because of the character of God and because he is the foundation of our faith, we can confidently walk forward knowing that God by our side. This is the God that you can run towards your fears with.

In today's message, we turn our focus towards recognizing our sin and creating a space to allow for intentional time with God. Pastor John dives into the book of Exodus to walk through the life of Moses. We find that even when he was deep into the wilderness, God showed up and God found him right where he was at, despite the battles that he has faced or the bondages he was enslaved to. To hear more about how you can find the presence of God where you're at and to be intentional in your time with him, check out this week's message.

In today's teaching we ask the question, "If we were to take our cues from Jesus, then how would we disciple someone else?". This is exactly what Pastor Ron discusses as he wraps up our current teaching series, The Way of the Apprentice. We are challenged and inspired by this timely and practical message that walks us through John 13 & John 14. As we analyze the actions and words of Jesus, we see ways that we can be imitators of Christ and how we can disciple others around us. Pastor Ron then opened a conversation around what his steps following Jesus are looking like right now and going forward. Pastor Mike also shared about how God is stirring him toward stepping out in obedience. Our time together today was huge in the life of our church. Pastor John and the Elders joined the stage as Pastor's Ron and Mike shared about where God is leading.

In the second to last week of the series, The Ways of the Apprentice, Pastor John leads us through a conversation that addresses our inclination of viewing people through a lense that chategorizes us from them. We begin to transition our mindset from having a divided mentality to seeing the humanity in people the way that God sees the humanity in people. We are challenged this week to set our heart on things above and to gain a heavenly perspective. In doing so, we begin to change our mindset from viewing people as being against us to being collectively for God. We as a people exist to encounter Jesus, to engage in our faith with Jesus and to empower other people to go and do the same.Make sure you catch on up the past weeks of our current series, The Ways of the Apprentice, by clicking the link below!https://bit.ly/33az2xB

We are in our third week of our current series, The Ways of the Apprentice. This week Pastor Mike talks about taking our apprenticeship with Christ to the next level by the act of listening, servanthood and discipleship. "Being a servant of Jesus is good; being his disciple is better. Don't be one without the other". As we dive into the story of Mary and Martha, we find that this story was given to us so that we can find ourselves in the midst of it. Today we self reflect and evaluate our own life in hopes to see where we fit within this story. Are you like Martha, who takes the description of a servant? Or are you more like Mary, who sits at the feet of Jesus as his disciple?

In the sermon series titled "Road trip", we are on a journey to see what we have possibly already seen before, and see it in a new light. We hope to create a new point of view by having a different line of sight, seeing things in a slightly different way. In Part 1 of the series Road Trip, Pastor John discusses what it means to have a true craving for the Word of God and for the desires of His heart. "Whatever you're desiring will lead you to a source, and that source will lead you to an outcome".What is it that you're desiring? What is the source of that desire? And fruit is being produced as an outcome? These are all things that we discuss as we turn our perspective to the desires of God.

What is it that God is up to - in both your personal life and in the world in its entirety? This is a question that Pastor Ron brings up, discussing practical ways in figuring out what God is doing. We are challenged to look at the lessons that God seems to be revealing to us and to also look for clues to a bigger picture, showing what God is doing in the grander scheme of things.Even when we don't have all of the answers or when we don't have a full understanding, we can trust and find peace in knowing that God has our best interest at heart and that he cares about us.

The practice of Lament is an honest prayer and expression towards God that ultimately leads us to better trust him, and it is seen all throughout the Bible.In this weeks message, Pastor John walks us through the idea of what it means to lament and he discusses the importance of being honest with God; producing in us a greater trust in him. This week we are challenged to step into this action of lament, bringing our worries, sorrows, and struggles to God in an honest expression. Let's approach God, laying everything down at his feet, knowing that he is bringing us new mercies every day.

We challenge you to invite God to cultivate spiritual discernment within you; gaining spiritual eyes, ears, and hearts that creates change not only in your own life, but also in the lives of those around you.

In a world of uncertainty, love still remains.In a message titled "Love Reveals", Pastor John teaches us about how love is the driving force behind the character of God and how "your loving reveals your knowing".Who is it that you need to love today? It's through the love that you express that you're able to exemplify who God is, gifting others with a greater glimpse of who he is. We are called to love one another, so go and do likewise.Want to watch more from Heights Church?
