Dr. Hahn continues the It's Complicated series with our guest speaker, Mrs. Victoria Cobb, President of The Family Foundation of Virginia.

Some of us feel confident in our knowledge of finances or our earning potential; and many more not so confident. But regardless of our financial situation money brings us some pretty bad emotions. This is definitively a place we need to return to God’s simple and straight-forward instruction.

As followers of Jesus we have a command on our lives to honor marriage and what happens in the marriage bed. Last week we listened to God on marriage from one end of the Bible to the other, seeing clearly His design on marriage is one man and one woman for life; and that is what we are to respect, protect, and promote.

Marriage is a gift given to man in the opening pages of the Bible. It is a profound opportunity to experience life and God. It is one of the Lord’s primary tools to shape us, teach us, and grow us; and yes He uses some of the not so wonderful days of marriage and not so wonderful qualities of our mate to do that.

This fall we are talking about some complicated issues; issues that are in the news nightly, issues shaping our culture, issues that divide and anger, issues that make our own homes sometimes very complicated. What makes all this so complicated is that we have passionately different ideas on these issues coupled with the ideas that there is no right and wrong and that personal happiness is the hig...

We live in a world of complicated issues. We also live in a world that makes it difficult to talk about those issues. “It’s Complicated” will address these very issues from a Biblical perspective. And you might be surprised to find that when it comes to God’s perspective, things might not be as complicated as you first thought.

Dr. Hahn concludes the series on the Psalms today in Psalm 100.

In Psalm 73, Asaph, a great man of God just told us he almost slipped from the faith, that he actually struggled with the thought that obeying God might not be worth it. Why would something like this be in the Bible? Because it is real, and God deals with, helps us deal with what is real. This Psalm in part is addressing the age old question of suffering, and more specifically, the problem of the...

The longest chapter in the Bible is about the Bible. Psalm 119 is about your relationship, my relationship with this book we call the Bible. How would you describe your relationship with this? What do you believe about it? What do you believe in it? What impact does it have on your life? How much does it shape your decisions and values?

Guest Speaker, Dr. Donald Fowler, has been in Christian Ministry for 40 years as pastor, interim pastor, and missionary to Bulgaria. Dr Fowler has been a professor at Liberty University for 14 years. His areas of expertise are in biblical and contemporary issues and ancient and modern Israel.

Think of all the things in life you’d like answers to, things you want explained. I would suggest there is really just one thing we need to know: one thing in the midst of a Hitler, a Stalin a bin Laden; one thing in the midst of a hurricane; one thing in the midst of a job loss, or the loss of a child; one thing when you have been betrayed and victimized by evil. I would combine part of verse 1 a...

The Bible is the singular most read piece of literature in human history, and the most read portion of Bible is probably Psalm 23, so one could make the case that Psalm 23 are the most read words ever. Clearly there is something in here that beckons the soul. And when inside this Psalm, we sense it, feel it; but do we leave with it?

Rev. Mike Osborne continues our study this week in Psalm 55.

Rev. Mike Osborne continues our study in Psalm 44 this week.

James continues our series in Psalm 51 this week.

My name is James Ford. I lead the Singles ministry here at The Heights, and it is my pleasure as we continue our series in the Psalms. This morning we are going to see what makes the people of God so good. Psalm 133 is going to show us some things that will help us thrive among God's people.

What comes to your mind when you think of the presence of God? Maybe you imagine something like Isaiah or Ezekiel experienced in Isaiah 6 or Ezekiel 1 when they found themselves in the presence of God and described for us: beauty, awe, power, lightning, smoke and angels.

We all want to be happy and we are drawn to those who appear to be happy whether we they are or not. God wants you to find happiness. Last week we began a new series on the Psalms. This is the largest book of the Bible, most likely the most read portion of the Bible, it was central to Jewish theology and worship, it is where theology and life intersect, where real issues are worked out with a real...

I am so excited about this summer and our study of Psalms. Almost everything about God is in the Psalms. Almost everything about man is in the Psalms. Psalms may be the most read portion of the Bible by believers and unbelievers. We are going to be in the Psalms well into September, and it is my prayer that we will have the same love and knowledge for this special place in God's word as did Jesus,...

On this Father's Day I am struck by the brevity of time and would like to look at a passage that is not specifically about being a dad, but it sure speaks to how not to miss it as a dad. Look at Ephesians 5:15-18.

Daniel Rose was our youth speaker for our 2013 Youth Sunday.

There are a handful of passages in the Bible that have a key to everything ring to them, the secret to life sound about them. I want to look at one of those today. Turn with me today to Matthew 6:25-34 where we will look at a portion of Jesus' Sermon on the Mount.

Memorial Day reminds us to remember that there are men and women who have paid the ultimate price for us to enjoy freedom. They died in battle so we could freely worship, bear arms, and speak, even if that speech is against the government.

A church that will have the greatest impact will value, will prioritize the next generation. God clearly gives a responsibility to the current church, the current generation to value, to prioritize passing the baton of faith to the next generations. It is actually says to think so far out there in the future that we are thinking, planning our church for children not even born yet.

Last week saw that one of God's core values for the church is that we love one another. Today we look at the fifth core value of The Heights, and it flows right out of last week. It is love in action, a culture of serving.
