This week at Heartland Church, we celebrated America’s 250th anniversary by looking beyond patriotism to what Scripture says about living as followers of Christ in today’s culture. Drawing from 1 Peter 2, this special message explores America’s Christian heritage, what it means to live in a post-Christian society, and why our identity as citizens of God’s Kingdom must always come before our earthl...

What happens when God asks you to surrender the thing that matters most to you? In the final message of our Abraham: Faith on the Journey series, we look at one of the most challenging moments in Abraham's life—his willingness to place Isaac on the altar. Through this powerful story, we discover that faith isn't just about believing God's promises; it's about settling the ownership...

In Week 8 of our Abraham: Faith on the Journey series, we examine one of the most well-known events in Scripture—the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. Through the story of Lot, Abraham, and the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, we discover the dangers of spiritual drift, the destructive nature of sin, and the importance of staying rooted in God. This message challenges us to listen to God's warnings,...

Week 7 of Abraham: Faith on the Journey focuses on one of the most powerful conversations between Abraham and God. As God reveals His plans concerning Sodom and Gomorrah, Abraham responds with prayer, intercession, and a deep concern for others. In this message, we explore what Abraham’s example teaches us about building a genuine relationship with God through prayer. Prayer is more than presentin...

In Part 6 of our Abraham series, How God Changes Our Hearts , we explore one of the most unusual passages in Abraham’s story and discover the powerful spiritual truth behind it. God uses the imagery of circumcision to reveal how He works deep within us, cutting away our sinful nature and transforming our hearts from the inside out. Through Abraham’s journey, we learn what it means to trust God in...

Part 4 of the “Abraham: Faith On The Journey” series looks at one of the most powerful moments in Abraham’s life — when God makes a covenant with him in Genesis 15. This message explores what a covenant really is, why God’s promises are different than ordinary agreements, and how God responds to Abraham’s fears, questions, and uncertainty with faithfulness. In this message, we look at: The meaning...

What do you do when life suddenly takes a turn you never expected? In Part 3 of our Abraham series, we look at Genesis 14 and the powerful rescue story of Abraham and Lot. Through unexpected battles, difficult choices, and moments of courage, we discover what it means to trust God when life gets messy and uncertain. This message explores: How our environment and positioning can shape our future Wh...

What direction is your life drifting? In Part 2 of our Abraham series, we look at the story of Abraham and Lot and discover how small decisions can slowly move us closer to God… or further away from Him. Lot drifted toward what looked good. Abraham anchored his life in God everywhere he went. Your trajectory matters more than you think.

What do you do when God tells you to wait? In Part 4 of Our Risen Savior , Pastor Heath Hiatt shares Jesus’ final words before ascending to Heaven: Wait for the Holy Spirit. In a world that pushes speed, instant results, and rushing ahead, God often works through seasons of waiting. This message unpacks how waiting is not weakness, laziness, or wasted time—it is preparation. When we trust God’s ti...

Have you ever felt like you messed up too badly for God to use you again? In Part 3 of our Our Risen Savior  series, we look at one of the most powerful moments after the resurrection—when Jesus restores Peter after his greatest failure. Peter denied Jesus three times and believed he had ruined everything… but Jesus had a different plan. Through this message, we see that no failure is final with G...

On that first Easter, two disciples walked a road filled with confusion, disappointment, and unanswered questions… not realizing Jesus was walking right beside them. In this powerful Easter message, we kick off our new series Our Risen Savior by looking at the story of the road to Emmaus in Luke 24. It’s a reminder that no matter where you are in life—whether you’re searching, struggling, or growi...

On Palm Sunday, we remember the moment Jesus entered Jerusalem—but we also look ahead to the cross, where three men were crucified side by side.  Two criminals. Two responses. One Savior. In this powerful message, we dive into the story from Luke 23 and explore the contrast between the two thieves on the cross—one who mocked Jesus and one who believed. Their stories reveal a truth that still appli...

We’re wrapping up our Ephesians series by focusing on a calling every believer shares—fighting for the next generation. In Ephesians 6, we’re reminded that our faith isn’t just about us. It’s about what we pass on. Whether you’re a parent, mentor, or simply someone with influence, God has entrusted you with the responsibility to invest in those coming after you. This message challenges us to live...

In Part 6 of our series through Ephesians, we look at Paul’s challenge in Ephesians 5:15–20 to live wisely and be careful how we spend our time. The world offers many things that promise fulfillment, but only God can truly fill the emptiness in our hearts.  In this message, we talk about: Why the world’s substitutes can never truly satisfy us How the way we spend our time shapes our lives The dan...

In Part 5 of our Ephesians series, we continue exploring what it means to live out our identity in Christ. In Ephesians 5, the Apostle Paul calls believers to imitate God and live lives that stand apart from the patterns of the world. Followers of Jesus are not called to blend in—we are called to reflect Christ. When we truly understand who we are in Him, it begins to change the way we speak, the...

In Week 4 of our Ephesians series, we shift from identity to action. The first three chapters of Ephesians teach us who we are in Christ. But in chapter 4, Paul begins to show us how we are called to live in light of that identity. We are not called to do life alone. Just like a team on a mission, we each have a specific calling from God — unique, intentional, and connected to everyone else’s call...

Week 3 of our Ephesians series takes us into one of the most powerful prayers in the New Testament. In the Epistle to the Ephesians, chapter 3, the Apostle Paul doesn’t pray for better circumstances, financial blessing, or easier lives. He prays for something deeper. He prays for inner strength. He prays for Christ to make His home in our hearts. He prays that we would truly understand how wide, h...

What is the church, and why does it matter so much? In the final message of our Rooted series, we talk about what the church truly is, why God designed it the way He did, and how being connected to the church impacts our faith, our lives, and even our future. The church was never meant to be a building you attend, but a people you belong to. When we’re rooted together, we grow stronger, support on...

Can we actually trust the Bible? In a world where AI blurs reality, truth feels harder to identify than ever. Videos can be fake. Voices can be generated. Even people can be fabricated. So how do we know what’s real anymore? In Part 1 of our new Rooted  series, we ask an honest and foundational question: Can we trust the Bible? If everything we believe as Christians is built on Scripture, then thi...

As we step into a new year, we’re sharing what God has been speaking over Heartland Church for 2026 — a year marked by a fresh wind, renewed purpose, and being ready for how God wants to move. This looks back with gratitude, acknowledges the shaking many experienced, and casts vision for what’s ahead. It’s a reminder that we don’t manufacture what God is doing — we raise our sails and follow where...

What do you do when what’s in front of you is bigger than what you have? In Lord, I Need You , we look at two powerful miracles from Matthew 14 — Jesus feeding the 5,000 and Jesus walking on the water. Though they happen in very different moments, they reveal the same life-changing truth: recognizing our need for Jesus is not weakness, it’s the foundation of faith. This message reminds us that: Go...

As we close out the year, we turn to the Psalms of Ascent (Psalms 120–134) —a collection of songs God’s people sang while climbing toward Jerusalem. These psalms were written for the journey. They remind us how to walk with God when the road is long, the climb is steep, and the finish feels far away. In this message, we explore how the Psalms of Ascent teach us to bring our troubles to the Lord, p...

In Part 3 of the Jonah series, we step into the uncomfortable ending of the story—where obedience is present, but the heart is still misaligned. Jonah watches an entire city repent, yet instead of celebrating, he’s angry. Why? Because God’s compassion challenged Jonah’s priorities. This message dives into Jonah chapter 4 and wrestles with big questions we all face: Can we obey God without sharing...

In Part 2 of our Jonah series, we step back into one of the most surprising turnarounds in the Bible. Jonah finally obeys, speaks a simple message, and God does what only God can do. An entire city repents. Hearts shift. Lives change. And we discover that repentance still reroutes ruin today. In this message, we look at why God cares about “those people,” why our spiritual condition affects the pe...

A runaway prophet, a raging storm, a swallowed man, and a God who never stops pursuing His people. We’re launching a new sermon series through the book of Jonah – not just a story about a fish, but a mirror that reveals our own hearts. Jonah ran. We run. Yet God still calls, redirects, and restores. In this message, we walk through Jonah chapter 1 and discover that God directs – we choose whether...
