The Heights Baptist Church

Our 42 messages through the Bible this year has us in Judges today. Judges is a tiresome story of man’s failure, the good news being, that is the backdrop to the story of God’s faithfulness.

Today we’re looking at such an important story in Scripture, especially for the American Christian. We are so independent, individualistic, it is hard for us to see the need we have for each other, the responsibility we have to each other; how our own relationship with the Lord affects the whole. My guess is almost no one here views their own relationship with the Lord as having any impact on the...

We are all surrounded by voices, some we choose, some we do not; but chosen or not those voices impact whether we remain faithful to the Lord and receive the promises He has for us.

The Ten Commandments, the ten most powerful words ever spoken to mankind; most powerful, most important, most needed. What would we need more than the information in those ten words that answer for every human ever how to love God and how to love others?

Today we will see the Israelites trapped with an army coming for their blood. The good news is, they’re going to see the Red Sea parted. It’s hard not to read the Bible and think, I wish I could see these miracles today, but are we ready to be in the situations that brought them forth?

Rev. Mike Osborne, our executive pastor, share 7 reasons why people don't give, and the reasons to give.

He wants everyone to be a part of the team when the banner of Jesus is hoisted. There are a variety of ways we can talk about each playing our roles, and today I want to look at how we all pitch in to The Heights Baptist being a champion.

Today we are going to see an expert in faith and disappointment: Joseph. When we think of Bible heroes, I don’t think he is on the short list for a lot of us; that’s David, Moses, Paul, Peter. In my opinion, Joseph’s faith in God is stunning and unparalleled; and that is why God shares his life with us.

My title today is It is More Wrestling than Math. Now not Christianity, but American Christians, Western Christians, we want a relationship with God that is more like a math formula. x + y = z. Always. I know where God is, I know what He is doing, and He can always be explained. And if not, He owes an explanation.

The Bible holds out to us some pretty special people, heroes even. But the Bible never holds out someone, something you can’t be. That is so important. We’re going to see a lot of great characters in the Bible that challenge us, inspire us, model for us what it looks like to live greatly for God; but a lot of people make the mistake of identifying a Moses, a David, a Paul as a G.O.A.T., something...

We are continuing our year through the Bible. We are all together going after God’s promise to bless when we read, hear, and keep His word. And today that brings us to Genesis 22. We are going to see God test faith. As a matter of fact, it might be better called a pop test because you don’t actually know it is coming.

This is our third week in Genesis and we have seen that God creates, learned that man sins; and today, God makes a covenant. To understand Genesis, to understand the Bible; we’ll want to understand covenant.

It can be said that Genesis is the most important book of the Bible because it lays the foundation for the Bible. Every major doctrine developed in the Bible is in Genesis. Perhaps the most important verse of the Bible is Genesis 1:1.

I am so excited for 2019 and what it can mean for us as a church and you as a person. I am as excited as I have ever been about our vision and focus for the new year ahead. And my excitement is based on some really concrete things, and one of those things in in your hand, or on your cell – the Bible. The Heights Baptist is going to read through the Bible in 2019.

Rev. Jerry Witte (NextGen Pastor) shares six Bible hacks that will defeat worry in your life.

Jesus is God with us in life, God with us at work and school, God with us at home. Since we have been given 'God with us,' we are to be 'God with us,' for others, be Jesus, be the church for others. Our challenge this Christmas season and our focus for the coming year is to be 'God with us' on our street.

This is a unique series. It is about Christmas. It is about joining God in what He is doing in Christmas. This is how we become a church this community cannot imagine being without and how you personally make it that.

God never says, 'I learned something new today.' There is no information, experience, event that will bring Him a moment of learning because He already knows. He knows everything. He is omniscient.

Today we are continuing a short Thanksgiving series on things we are thankful God never has to say. Last week we saw that God never has to say, 'That was easy,' because easy and hard are irrelevant measurements to Him. He has all power. Nothing is difficult for Him. Today we are going to be thankful God never has to say, 'Marco.' He never has to figure out where we are, what is going on, where som...

As we move through Thanksgiving season, I want to look at some attributes of God or character qualities that give cause to be thankful. I picked three – the Omnis – omnipotent, omnipresence, and omniscience. We will do omniscience on the Sunday after Thanksgiving when we celebrate the Lord’s Supper and I think you’ll be really grateful for what that attribute has to do with the Lord’s Supper. Toda...

Can you imagine the horror of thinking you had just made it home safely, only to find you missed a base, and were called out? And it was that story that opened my eyes to the gospel of Jesus and eternal life.

The Great Commission has not changed; BUT the ‘times’ have changed. Every generation has addressed the Great Commission in their unique time in history, in their paradigm.

God remembers. He remembers your late nights. He remembers your tears. He remembers your prayers. God remembers, and rescue can still be at hand because of you. Don’t quit. God remembers. How many lives could be on the verge of rescue because of this room right here.

Just as our body is fueled by food, even more so, our lives our fueled by the Word of God. To not have a steady diet of God’s word will make vulnerable the health and strength of our lives. We need a steady intake, a regular reading of God’s word, and of course, it is not just the act of reading; but reading, trusting, and obeying.

There is a lot to translation and we are really blessed today to have so many translations showing us how different people approached a passage and came to what they felt was an accurate translation. That helps all of us get to the most precise and accurate meaning.
