The Heights Baptist Church

We are a community because of the cross, and our love for one another is the distinguishing mark of this community. The way we relate is to be a significant evidence that Jesus is the real deal.

Today we continue our series called The Core. We are looking at core values of our church family. This is what we value. This is what we are, what guides us, what we do. Here at The Heights we value encouraging, training, and providing opportunity for every follower of Jesus to share the gospel. Witnessing is both our identity and it is our task.

We are in a series right now called The Core. We are looking at the core values of The Heights. Last week we talked about our commitment to Scripture. This book contains every answer we need for faith and life. It is completely accurate and totally authoritative. Today we look at a second core value: our church wants to consistently encourage and inspire you with the worthiness of God.

Core training is key to your posture which communicates your stance, your strength, and how you take things on; and that is what we are going to spend the next 6 weeks doing. We are going to do some training in our core values. These values represent what holds the whole body together. We have 6 core values: a commitment to Scripture, a lifestyle of worship and prayer, sharing the good news, livin...

Perhaps nothing causes us to question God more, feel abandoned by God more than suffering. If He is good, how can He allow suffering, unless He really does not have all power? The first words are “in the beginning.” Genesis tells us how creation got here, how man got here, how evil and suffering got here, and how Israel got here. It is the foundation for the rest of the story, but Genesis is not t...

This is our third message of looking at a mosaic of Jesus. We are looking at Him from some different angles, through some different lens, seeking to get a better picture of Him that leads to a fuller response to Him, for He is worthy of our best response. Today we see that Jesus is as the purpose of God meaning our purpose.

Have you ever experienced one of those *aha* moments? I mean one of those times when you see something that is so amazing that you just stand in awe? John the Baptist had one of those moments.

Jesus called Philip to follow Him. Philip in the Greek language means lover of horses for you horse lovers out there. Of the apostles that get some print, Philip it appears to be one of the more uninitiated in the group. The Scripture shows him in a couple of places not really knowing what to do, missing the point, or just kind of watching when maybe he should have been responding. But that is goo...

The exploration of the moon and stars, the ocean depths, and the intricacies of the human body; all tremendous frontiers. But it is more than just getting to these frontiers. It is knowing the One who created them, and being in even more awe of Him.

These next two weeks we are going to look at the next frontiers, eternity, and the great opportunity we have to do what Jesus said, "Tie your heart to eternity; so much joy, so much fulfillment, so much wealth."

God can build a champion for Himself in victories and defeats. We can do no greater thing for our lives than to literally choose to not trust your heart, not trust your way, but instead see what God’s plan is on every step you take.

God’s goal for us is so much bigger than keeping a resolution. He has enabled us to impact the world. Let’s start by understanding how we get our lives in a position to count for something.

As we approach the new year, many look forward with excitement and new goals, while others may fear what the new year will hold. James 5:13 tells us to sing praise with the cheerful, and pray for the those who are sick and suffering.

Zechariah prophesied about it. The angels sang about it. It is all through the Bible. What is it? Peace. I think the word peace would make most people's list of Christmas words. What is peace?

People have generally assumed there is a God, different ideas about Him, but certainly assume He is there. With that assumption comes some questions. One question that is on the mind of anyone who believes in God is, *What does He look like?*. The old man with the grey beard seems to have really caught on. I think things like the Sistine Chapel and Charleton Heston probably cemented that view, alt...

Dr. Hahn shares about why we need Christmas, especially at a time surrounding the recent Connecticut school shooting.

The God of the Bible is a God who wants to be known by us and close to us. I am not sure we can fully grasp what an amazing thing that is. He is holy and pure, untainted by wrong. We are thoroughly contaminated. Sin has touched, infected, contaminated our entire being. But the God of the Bible is loving, compassionate, and gracious. Though He will not relate with our filthy condition of sin, He ac...

At Christmas we celebrate God coming into the world in His Son Jesus. Jesus entered this world to go to that cross and because of that cross there are an abundance of gifts that have been purchased for us. Last week we looked at the gift of forgiveness, and today in maybe a gift you didn't see coming: success.

The Bible shows us a tree, and under that tree are gifts. We have an eternal wealth of gifts that come for one reason, because Jesus Christ entered this world. That's what we are celebrating this coming month. Jesus has entered the world!

Rev. West shares about God's calling in our lives, and also the call of CHBaptist 10 years ago to bring Dr. Hahn as senior pastor.

Dr. Hahn shares about our new multisite campus in Midlothian, VA starting in March 2013 and our new service that will start in February 2013, and walk of prayer he and our church have been through.

What is the church? A building? Something we do on Sundays? No, the church is a group of people who are banking their whole life on the confession that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of the living God. The church is people who have turned from sin and confessed their hope in Jesus as the Son of God to be saved and are baptized to prove that faith. It is God's will that we are purposely connected to...

It is difficult to imagine a nation that would think of the Christian Church and state as friends working toward the same cause. If you were here last week you heard me blame that not on a particular President or Congress, but on the Church. It is the church that turned from the true word of God. It is the church that has stopped evangelizing. It is the church that stopped voting for Jesus, and if...
