The Heights Church - Sermons

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.

Acts 10 confronts us with the radical inclusivity and exclusivity of Jesus. All are welcome into God’s kingdom, but there is only one way in—through Christ alone.

Jonah 4 shows that God is more patient, kind, and compassionate than we could ever imagine. Though Jonah resents God’s mercy for Nineveh, the Lord reveals His heart for the lost—and invites us to extend His compassion to others.

Jonah 3 reveals a God of second chances—grace for rebels and rule-followers alike. Don’t hide in rebellion or religion. Turn to the God who runs toward both.

Explore Jonah's unexpected journey from rebellion to redemption while being inside a giant fish. Discover how his lowest moment became a lesson in the unwavering grace of God. The symbolism of running from one's purpose and the transformative power of repentance shines through. This tale is a reminder that while idols may fail, returning to God offers salvation and hope. It's a poignant dive into the essence of grace and the promise of forgiveness for those who stray.

When we run from God, it’s always conscious, costly, and crazy. But the storm He sends is not to pay us back—it’s to bring us back. Stop running and return to Jesus, our greater Jonah and perfect substitute.

God speaks, sends, and shows surprising grace—even to enemies. This week we begin a new series about how Jonah ran, but Jesus obeyed.

In this message from Ephesians 6:10–19, Pastor Mike unpacks prayer as the secret weapon of the Christian life. Discover why prayer is powerful, why it’s so hard, and how to pray in a way that actually changes things.
