The Heights Church - Sermons

Acts 20 confronts us with a choice: pursue comfort, or follow the Spirit into a life that actually counts. Paul shows us three shifts—Spirit-leadership, sacrificial suffering, and self-denial, calling us to one urgent invitation: don’t waste your life.

This week, Dr. Bryan Loritts preaches through Acts 19, helping us see how even good things can become idols when made into ultimate things.

When life gets hard, it’s easy to think the answer is to leave. But in Acts 18, Jesus shows Paul—and us—the power of staying. What if the greatest impact for God’s kingdom happens not by going, but by staying?

In a city filled with idols and ideas, Paul models how to share Jesus with skeptical hearts. Acts 17 shows us that the gospel meets people where they are, names their longings, and calls them to turn and believe.

In Acts 16, we learn four small acts that lead to a big move of God.

In a world marked by division, the church is called to be different. This week, we’ll learn to build a unified church marked by grace, mission, and sacrificial love.

In Acts 14, we uncover four practical steps to confidently share your faith—by seeing the overlooked, identifying idols, pointing to Jesus, and enduring with gospel-grit and mission.

In this episode, we dive into Acts 11–13 and the Church in Antioch—a Spirit-led, mission-driven community where ordinary people did extraordinary things. Discover four powerful signs of God’s hand on a church.

In a time of darkness and opposition, Acts 12 reminds us that God's good purposes are unstoppable and His power is unleashed through prayer. This message brings confrontation, comfort, and courage to follow Jesus boldly—no matter the cost.

This week, Bryan Barley gives the church a word about being wary of cynicism in a growing church, and continues on our series working through Acts 11.
