The Heights Church - Sermons

Acts 7 tells the account of Stephen, the first Christian martyr of the early church. In Acts, Stephen preaches that Jesus is the main thing. This Sunday, we looked at the 4 realities that are true about us when we live in light of that truth.

This week, we dive into the reality of unseen battles. As the book of Acts displays, we’re surrounded—not just by physical struggles, but by a real spiritual realm. Where God moves, signs and wonders follow—strongholds break, darkness flees, and faith rises.

This passage contrasts Barnabas, the encourager who gave all, with Ananias and Sapphira, who lied about their offering and died. The fear of God precedes His favor, a biblical truth shaping our 2025 vision for sacrificial mission, bringing Acts to life on Colfax, her in Denver CO.

In Acts 4, the disciples face resistance for the first time. They’re arrested, thrown in jail, and put on trial. But as soon as they’re released, where do they go? Straight back to their people. They don’t retreat alone—they run to community. That’s what the church is meant to be: a place of retreat and renewal so we can keep shining light in a dark world.

Yesterday, we unpacked Acts 4:1-13 and saw a tough reality: where God moves, resistance follows. Peter and John faced opposition, yet their boldness revealed what resilient mission looks like. We learned that resistance isn’t a sign of God’s absence but often proof of His presence. Standing firm requires Spirit-dependence, exclusive salvation, intimacy with Jesus, and fearing God over people.

In this sermon, Pastor Casey Withers walks us through the first miracle recorded in the early church, which proves that the life-giving power of Jesus continues to move forward with his church.

In Acts 2:47, we see a church where God is at work—adding to their number daily as lives are transformed by the gospel. This week, we’re talking about the heartbeat of mission: joining God in what He’s already doing, making room for growth, and stepping into bold faith for those around us. Together, we’ll discover how to live as highways of grace, bringing the hope of Jesus to our city one life at a time.

What makes a church truly good? In Acts 2:42-47, we see a powerful picture of the early church—devoted to discipleship, scripture, community, prayer, and mission. This week, we’re diving into what it means to move from distracted discipleship to devoted discipleship, aligning our lives with Jesus in a way that transforms us and those around us. Join us as we explore Acts 2, and take real steps toward deep, committed faith.

At The Heights, we’re diving into Acts 2:14-39, where Peter’s first sermon ignites a movement and transforms lives with the truth of the gospel. This week, we’re exploring how God’s truth—revealed through the cross, the resurrection, and the ascension of Jesus—shapes who we are and what we live for. Together, we’ll unpack what it means to stand firm in a culture searching for meaning, living as people marked by God’s unshakable truth and empowered by His Spirit.

At The Heights, we’re diving into one of the most pivotal chapters in the Bible—Acts 2, the moment where the church is born and God’s Spirit transforms everything. This week, we’re exploring how the Holy Spirit empowers every believer for sacrificial mission, bringing fresh wind and fire to fuel God’s work in our lives and communities. Join us as we unpack what it means to be an Acts 2 church—alive with God’s presence, truth, discipleship, and mission.
