In Part 3 of our Spiritual Warfare Series, we dig into one of the most deceptive tactics of the enemy: when something sounds spiritual, even godly, but isn’t from God at all. Using Acts 16 as our guide, we look at how Paul discerned a spirit that mimicked truth while working behind the scenes to deceive, distort, and choke out real spiritual life. If you’ve ever wondered, “Is this God, the enemy,...

In Part 2 of our Spiritual Warfare Series, we break down the Armor of God and how each piece protects you in the battles you face every day. Learn how to guard your mind, strengthen your faith, walk in peace, and close the weak spots the enemy tries to target. If you’ve been feeling pressure, temptation, or spiritual resistance, this message will help you stand firm and fight with the strength God...

This week we begin a powerful new series, Spiritual Warfare. Step into the unseen battle that surrounds us every day — a war not against people, but against the powers of darkness. In this first message, we uncover who Satan truly is, how pride led to his fall, and why he relentlessly attacks God’s people. Through Scripture and real-life stories of freedom, we see that while the enemy is real, so...

This week wraps up our Faith Under Fire series with Part 9: Grace Under Fire. Through the Apostle Paul’s story of the “thorn in the flesh,” we see how God’s grace shows up in weakness, how His strength carries us through what we can’t remove, and how even our struggles can be used for His glory. If you’ve ever felt worn down by something that won’t go away, this message will remind you that God’s...

When we measure ourselves against others, we lose sight of what really matters. In 2 Corinthians 10, Paul challenges the church to stop comparing and start focusing on the mission God gave them. This week, Pastor Heath unpacks how comparison robs us of joy, distracts us from our calling, and keeps us from living in the unique “sphere” God designed for each of us. Learn how to take your eyes off yo...

Have you ever struggled with your self-worth? In this week’s message, Self-Worth Under Fire , Pastor Heath explores what the Bible really says about who we are in Christ. We’re not perfect, but we’re not worthless either—we’re jars of clay filled with the Spirit of God. Through 2 Corinthians 4, we’re reminded that our value doesn’t come from what’s on the outside, but from Who lives inside of us....

In this week’s message, Pastor Heath shares how following Jesus isn’t about spinning plates or keeping endless rules. Through 2 Corinthians 3:6-11, we see that God calls us into a new covenant—not one of laws, but of the Spirit. Jesus fulfilled the old covenant so we can live in the freedom of grace and relationship, not religion. Discover what it means to rest in God’s unshakable love, to stop st...

In a world that redefines love at every turn, how do we hold onto what’s real? This week, Pastor Heath Hiatt unpacks 1 Corinthians 13 —one of the most powerful passages in all of Scripture—and reminds us that true love isn’t just a feeling, it’s a decision. From the chaos of Corinth to the confusion of our culture, this message dives deep into the difference between emotional, conditional love and...

This week’s message, Witness Under Fire , challenges us to live boldly as followers of Christ in a world where faith often feels opposed. Looking at 1 Corinthians 9, Pastor Heath reminds us that being a witness means wearing the servant’s apron, changing our methods without changing the message, and laying aside our own freedoms so nothing distracts from Jesus. Like the Corinthians, we live in a c...

This week at Heartland Church, we continue our Faith Under Fire series with a challenging and timely message: Purity Under Fire . In 1 Corinthians 6, Paul speaks directly to the church in Corinth about sin, temptation, and the call to live holy lives. Just like Corinth, our culture is saturated with sexual temptation and compromise. But God’s Word is clear—sin damages our lives, while freedom and...

What happens when the very foundation of your faith is tested? In Part 2 of our Faith Under Fire series, Pastor Heath unpacks Paul’s words in 1 Corinthians and reminds us that if the foundation is wrong, everything built on it will eventually collapse. Just like the Leaning Tower of Pisa, cracks in the foundation put the whole structure at risk. In this week’s message, Identity Under Fire, we expl...

This week we begin our brand-new series, Faith Under Fire , walking through 1 and 2 Corinthians together. In Part 1, Our Identity Is Under Fire , Pastor Heath unpacks how the Apostle Paul reminded the Corinthian church of who they truly were in Christ—ordinary people transformed by an extraordinary God. In a culture where value is often tied to wealth, power, or success, Paul calls us back to the...

Sometimes life feels overwhelming, and all we have to offer is plain “water”—our limited resources, our ordinary efforts, and our broken situations. In this one-off sermon, Bring It to Jesus , Pastor Heath unpacks the story of Jesus’ very first miracle at the wedding in Cana (John 2:1–11). This moment shows us the importance of admitting our need for Him, taking small steps of obedience, trusting...

This week we conclude our journey through the book of Joshua with a powerful challenge: it’s time to get off the fence . So often, we know what God is calling us to do—but fear, doubt, or comfort keep us stuck. Joshua called the people of Israel to Shechem, a place of decision, and urged them to choose: “As for me and my family, we will serve the Lord.” In this message, Pastor Heath reminds us tha...

Sometimes life throws us problems so overwhelming that we don’t even know where to begin. In Joshua 10, we see Joshua pray one of the boldest prayers in history: “Sun, stand still.” And God answered with a miracle. In this week’s message, Pray BIG Prayers , Pastor Heath reminds us that our biggest problems require bold prayers to a big God who still does the impossible. Whether it’s healing, salva...

Life is full of illusions—things that look right but lead us in the wrong direction. In Joshua 9, the Israelites fell for a clever deception because they trusted what they saw instead of seeking God. In this message, Pastor Heath shows how we can see past life’s illusions by staying rooted in God’s Word, living a life of prayer, and trusting His perspective over our own.

This week in our Joshua series, Pastor Heath shares a powerful message called “WhatchaNotGonnaDo.” After a devastating loss at Ai, God gives Joshua and the Israelites a second chance—and a clear path forward. But before the victory comes, they have to confront what went wrong and choose a different response. This message is all about learning from failure without being defined by it. When fear cre...

What do you do when you go from a miraculous win to a crushing defeat? In this powerful message from Joshua 7, we explore the story of Achan, the defeat at Ai, and what it means to take a loss—an “L”—and give it to the Lord. Life is full of wins and losses, and how we respond to those losses matters. This message dives deep into the root causes of defeat, like pride and hidden sin, and shows us ho...

Have you ever felt like giving up? In this powerful message, we look at one of the most famous battles in the Bible—Jericho—and what it teaches us about perseverance, obedience, and faith when nothing seems to be changing. Just like the Israelites had to march around the walls without seeing results for six days, we often face situations where the outcome feels distant and the effort seems pointle...

In Part 3 of our Joshua series, we look at how God prepared His people to step into their calling. Before Israel crossed the Jordan River, they had to be set apart, follow God’s lead, take a step of obedience, and remember who brought them this far. The same is true for us today. In this message, we discover how to prepare our hearts for the mission God has for us—by living a life of surrender, li...

Part 2 of our Joshua Sermon Series challenges us to step boldly into the overwhelming assignments God places in front of us. Whether you’re stepping into a new role, launching a big project, or simply navigating a difficult season, this message reminds us that fear doesn’t disqualify us—faith empowers us. Just like Joshua, we’re called to let go of the past, trust in God’s presence, embrace the st...

This week we kick off our new sermon series on the life of Joshua with a powerful message titled “Beware the Herd Mentality.” Long before Joshua led Israel into the Promised Land, he made a courageous choice to stand apart from the crowd. While others focused on fear and obstacles, Joshua trusted God’s promise. In this message, we look at the dangers of going along with the crowd, how complaining...

In Part 5 of our Genesis Series, we look at the Tower of Babel and the spirit behind it—the Babylon Spirit. This mindset of pride, self-promotion, and rebellion against God is still influencing lives today. Pastor Heath shows how this spirit draws us to build our own kingdoms, chase comfort, and follow our plans instead of God’s. But the Spirit of Christ leads us in the opposite direction—toward h...

In Part 4 of our Genesis series, we look at the first sibling rivalry in history—the story of Cain and Abel. What begins as a difference in offerings quickly escalates into jealousy, unchecked emotions, and ultimately, murder. But this isn’t just a story about two brothers—it’s a warning for all of us. Pastor Heath unpacks how sin creeps in through small thoughts, grows through unresolved emotions...

In Part 3 of our Genesis Series, we dive into one of the most pivotal moments in Scripture—the fall of man in Genesis 3. This message uncovers the enemy’s strategy: deception, distortion, and doubt. From the serpent’s subtle lies in Eden to the way Satan still twists truth today, we explore how sin is disguised as the solution but always leads to shame, separation, and spiritual distance. Learn ho...
