The Spirit Gives Gifts: 1 Corinthians 12 | Holy Spirit
The following episode is a live recorded sermon from the Sunday gathering at The Heights Church Denver on 08/18/24
The Spirit Gives Gifts: 1 Corinthians 12 | Holy Spirit
Corbin Hobbs
The Holy Spirit has famously been called “the forgotten God.” Christians give a lot of attention to the Father who pursues and loves his prodigal children. We, of course, love Jesus who came and accomplished our salvation through a cross and resurrection. But when it comes to the Spirit many Christians are at a loss. The Spirit feels like the proverbial “third-wheel” on the trinitarian date. And much of this is because of the lack of good teaching on the person and work of the Holy Spirit.
But without the Holy Spirit, we cannot be adopted into the Fathers family or receive the forgiveness for our sins that Jesus accomplished on the cross. In the words of Father Ignatius Hazim, “Without the Holy Spirit, God is distant, Christ is in the past, the Gospel is a dead letter, the Church is simply an organization, authority is always domination, mission is propaganda, worship is the summoning of spirits, and Christian action is the morality of slaves.”
We need the Holy Spirit.

Matthew 6: The Pattern for Prayer | Pray Your Bible
The following episode is a live recorded sermon from the Sunday gathering at The Heights Church Denver on 07/21/24
Matthew 6: The Pattern for Prayer | Pray Your Bible
Ron Johnson
As you know by now, 2024 is the Year of Prayer at The Heights. A full year devoted to learning the power and practices of prayer. This is a year where we will collectively explore how to access the power and provision that is available to us in prayer. A year of taking up the invitation of Jesus when he says in Matthew 7, “Ask, and it will be given to you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.”
But if we are honest, most people don’t know how to accept Jesus’ invitation into the praying life. We try to pray and fail. We need a model. Thankfully, the New Testament contains some of the most powerful prayers that have ever been prayed. These are Holy Spirit inspired prayers. Over these six weeks we are going to learn how to pray with the Apostles by studying the Apostolic prayers of the New Testament.
We want to teach people to pray in line with the will of God by praying their Bibles
06/16: Eph. 1:15-23 - Sovereign Confidence
06/23: Eph. 3:14-21 - Power and Ability
06/30: Col. 1:9-14 - Knowledge of His Will
07/07: Phil. 1:9-11 - Kingdom Fruitfulness
07/14: 1 Thess 3:9-13 - Passion for People
