1 Corinthians 10 | Our Messy Life Together
The following episode is a live recorded sermon from the Sunday gathering at The Heights Church Denver on 09/18/23
1 Corinthians 10 | Our Messy Life Together
Corbin Hobbs
Throughout the New Testament, we see a beautiful vision laid out for the church. A community of mutual love, care, healing, and devotion that ensures, as Acts chapter 2 states, “there was not a needy person among them.” However, it doesn’t take long to look around and see a disconnect between the biblical vision for the church and the sad reality that these communities are often messy and broken. 1 Corinthians is, in many ways, a love letter to a messy community. A community full of broken people that are trying to follow Jesus together. What we see is that God doesn’t abandon his church when things get messy -- but rather he leans in and calls them to something better.

Self Control in a Time of Self Fulfillment | The Spirit in the Time of the Flesh
The following episode is a live recorded sermon from the Sunday gathering at The Heights Church Denver on 08/28/23
Self Control in a Time of Self Fulfillment | The Spirit in the Time of the Flesh
Dennis Flowers
We live in a cultural moment that is marked by relational distrust and division. A time marked by things like hate, slander, gossip and overall relational anger and exhaustion. We can’t seem to get along. And when you stop and think about it, all of our greatest problems are relational at their root - racism, classicism, politics, abuse, war - everything rises and falls on the quality of our relationships. The most valuable thing we have in this life is relationships. They are crucial to a life well-lived.
Our theme for this year as a church is “The Year of Life Together.” This year is about creating a haven of relational beauty in the church that shines the light of Jesus into the relational strife of the world. To do this, it’s vital that we learn, as people of God, how to live in the Spirit. In Galatians 5, Paul states that we cannot have two operating systems within ourselves or our church; either we choose the Spirit or our flesh, which is any independent coping mechanism for life apart from God.
This Summer we’re going to look at each of these fruits of the spirit from Galatians 5, and learn to live by the spirit instead of the way of the world and the flesh. Join us each Sunday as we learn to be people of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
