This time of year can feel like it's about activity, spending, and searching for the perfect present. But the season leading up to Christmas has been called Advent by followers of Jesus for centuries. At once, Advent means both "arrival" and "waiting;" a time of active hope when we celebrate that God's Greatest Gift--the person of Jesus--has already come. Journey with us as we celebrate and share in The Gift...and along the way experience peace, hope, faith, and joy together.

Soon we’ll find ourselves in a time of year where there’s great pressure to buy more and give more in pursuit of the perfect present. But we believe the greatest Gift has already come in the person of Jesus, and our high calling is to offer the, justice, freedom, hope, and compassion of Christ to others. Join in as we explore The Gift and what it means as we Go.Be.Love. together.

So much in our closest relationships can feel as though it’s a knock-down-drag-out struggle against the stuff of life trying to tear us apart... and even a fight to the finish with those we love. But God designed us for relationships marked by joy, perseverance, and authenticity; get in the ring as we discover how to fight for what matters most.

Have you ever wondered why? Why things happen the way they do? Why Scripture records what it does? Why we can sense God being especially near one moment and feeling so distant the next? Maybe you have questions about God, church, the Bible you're not sure you can -- or how to -- ask. Dig in with us as we wrestle with some of life's difficult questions.

The Psalms -- the ancient expressions of joy, sorrow, praise, and heartfelt honesty in the Bible -- contain some of the most famous poetry of all time. These prayers from the heart still speak to and for us today.

Doo’-na-mis — inherent power, power residing in a thing by its nature… Throughout our lives, we encounter impossible moments where only great power or authority can change the course we’re on. God, by very nature of who he is, has power to change us and the world around us. Join in discovering what it means to experience the inherent power of God in every aspect of life.

Work. School. Meetings. Homework. Errands. Events. Practice. Family. Friends. Projects. We wonder how to live a life of purpose and meaning in the midst of all the busyness. Jesus modeled what it is to have space for the interruptions in life that allow us to see God at work and build what matters most, join us in cultivating an interruptible life.

Words matter--Scripture declares they hold the power of life and death, healing and injury, peace and strife. The words of Jesus from the cross hold special significance as he declared life, healing, peace, and Heaven even as he was dying. Join us in our journey to Easter as we explore these powerful statements and what they mean for how we live today.

At Heritage we endeavor to live LOVED, LINKED and SENT as a church. Each year we gather for our Go.Be.Love series during which we celebrate all that God has done over the last year in our SENT expressions as well as unpack the the scriptural basis for what we do. Finally, we also look to the future of where we sense God calling us to LIVE SENT and pray for him to guide us into our individual engagement of those opportunities. Check out these examples of those sermons for a better understanding.
