The church in Pergamum endured a great deal of persecution, including even the execution of one of its members. But when Satan realized that persecution would not dissuade this early church, he turned to something more subtle, compromise. By making it easy to submit to the idols of the day, the church in Pergamum found itself drifting away from the One who saved them. -- New to Heritage? Want to g...

The church in Smyrna faced increasingly difficult days with impressive faithfulness. While Jesus examines and speaks to them, He has nothing negative to say about their faith, but instead gives them hope to continue on and overcome suffering. -- New to Heritage?

Ephesus was the major metropolis of Asia Minor in the first century. Known for its worship of the goddess Artemis, this city was marked by commerce, adultery, and idolatry. In this city, the church of Ephesus is known for its devotion to the truth, yet Jesus has some stern words of correction for His church given alongside some incredible encouragement about what is to come. -- New to Heritage?

Decades after Jesus' death and resurrection, His disciples spread the Gospel through the Roman Empire and beyond. But many in power saw this as an attack on their influence and began persecuting these early churches. Amid this turmoil, Jesus reveals Himself to John in a magnificent way and helps him understand His plans even through the hardships of the day. -- New to Heritage? Want to get mor...

In the final challenge to His disciples, Jesus gives what is often called His "Great Commission." While we may expect last words to be complex or heavy, He simply leaves His followers with two commands, to go and make disciples. -- New to Heritage? Want to get more involved?

Fear is something that we all have in common. And it's an essential part of the resurrection story. We enter Matthew 28 with fear-filled disciples, but once they understand the Jesus is alive, everything is changed. -- New to Heritage? Want to get more involved?

Jesus is crucified. As He lays down His life as a sacrifice for our sin, some incredible things happen, and even those who had mocked just moments before can't help but be compelled by Jesus. In the end, even His opponents will learn that man cannot stop what God is doing. -- New to Heritage? Want to get more involved? Looking for a Group or Ministry Team?

Rejected and mocked by the Jewish and Roman authorities, Jesus the King is crowned with thorns and degraded. After Matthew has argued for and presented clearly the kingship of Jesus, we see our King dehumanized. -- New to Heritage? Want to get more involved? Looking for a Group or Ministry Team?

While there are days that we are faithless, God is still faithful. One of the clearest contrasts of this is found is Jesus' willingness to endure the pain and shame of the cross while Peter is faithless nearby. But before we're too hard on Peter, let's remember that God is faithful even as WE are faithless. -- New to Heritage? Want to get more involved? Looking for a Group or Ministry...

One of the daily questions we have to ask ourselves is do we want our way or God's. In Matthew 26, we see a sharp contrast between Peter and Jesus as one chooses the Father's will while the other takes matters into His own hands.  -- New to Heritage? Want to get more involved?

In our first study on a new topic, Pastor Nate introduces the concept of Gospel Fluency. While we often associate fluency with the ability to speak a language, it doesn't begin in the tongue but in the heart and mind. -- New to Heritage? Want to get more involved?

As Jesus enters the last couple of days before the crucifixion, Passover is approaching and enemies are scheming to kill Him. In the middle of this, two significant meals are shared with His close friends and one who would soon betray Him.   --  New to Heritage?  Want to get more involved?  Looking for a Group or Ministry Team?  Let us know at https://heritage.ccbchurch.co...

What is salvation? The Bible uses a number of different terms to describe and define what God has done, is doing, and will do.  -- New to Heritage? Want to get more involved?

What good is a bridesmaid that doesn't attend the wedding or a servant that refuses to serve? After teaching about what the future holds for His followers, Jesus challenges them to be prepared for His return by following in His footsteps instead of attempting to be a Christian who isn't Christ-like. -- New to Heritage?

After the seemingly harsh words of Jesus in the previous chapter, His disciples ask about His return and the end of the age. In Matthew 24, Jesus pulls back the curtain for His followers to hear and begin to understand what is coming in the world and for those who put their faith in Him. -- New to Heritage?

What is sin? At its core, it is a failure to follow or live up to God's standards of righteousness, but where did it come from, why is it so prevalent, and what is God's response to it?  --  New to Heritage?  Want to get more involved?  Looking for a Group or Ministry Team?  Let us know at https://heritage.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/6/responses/new --  Stay Connected:&n...

Jesus' woes against the Pharisees in Matthew 23 are often regarded as some of His harshest words in all of the Gospels. Yet, these words are not uttered to be needlessly cruel, but we dig into these hard sayings and see how Jesus is passionately and compassionately calling to the religious in His day to repent and look to Him for their salvation. -- New to Heritage?

Trying to trap Jesus, His critics form some unlikely alliances and begin to ask what they believe to be difficult questions without easy answers. Jesus responds with great wisdom, as always, and helps His followers to understand that while we pay taxes to Caesar, our devotion is to God. -- New to Heritage? Want to get more involved?

Who is the Holy Spirit? At first glance, the Bible seems somewhat vague about the Holy Spirit and His work, but when we look deeper into it, we find that He has enormous involvement in both our salvation and our spiritual maturity. -- New to Heritage?

The King's son is getting married and it's time for invitations to go out. But surprisingly, the guests not only refuse the invitation but react violently toward the messengers. Where is this hostility coming from, and how does the king respond to this unexpected behavior? -- New to Heritage? Want to get more involved? Looking for a Group or Ministry Team?

As we continue to study the early events of Jesus' last week before the crucifixion, some less than sincere questioners begin to make their way to Him. Instead of giving direct answers, Jesus begins to convincingly address them through a few stories designed to make them (and us) consider our responses to the gospel.  --  New to Heritage?  Want to get more involved?  Looking fo...

The Bible is foundational to the Christian faith. God has chosen to use this miraculous book to teach us about Himself and His plan to save us through the gospel of Jesus Christ.
