Christmas is at once magical and hectic. Shopping and parties and recitals and services and wrapping and baking and…and…and…can all make what is supposed to be a space of joy and opportunity feel overfilled and very noisy. Join us in this series as we step back from the noise and enter into the Joy Unspeakable of the season.

As one church family across locations, languages, and generations, we’re more committed than ever before to living out God’s heart for each of us to thrive. Join us throughout this series in connecting belief and practice—sharing in what we value, where we’re headed, and how we’re all in this together. This is our heritage.

There are many labels we use to define people: ethnicity, circumstance, location, relationship to us, status… the list goes on and on and on. But no matter how we might define someone else, Jesus had one label he used most often: Neighbor. Join with us as we reach back into the golden age of television and rediscover how to live out the great invitation, Won’t you be my neighbor?

Sometimes, we bump into a truth so deep or a hope so profound we need a special way to share it with others. Jesus often taught using parables—his unique way of sharing the deep truth and hope of the Kingdom of God with his first followers. Join us as we focus on a few of these Kingdom stories and discover even more of the heart God has for us and our world.

“…in all things God works for the good of those who love him.” Really? In a world filled with brokenness, pain and tragedy, does God really work for our good? What about the times when we are the ones who are making the mistakes and messing things up? Does he still make good out of that? If you have ever struggled with understanding how God can work good out of all things, get ready for the Not So Average Joes series. The reality is that God does work to redeem every part of our lives for His glory…the good and the bad.

We celebrate that the same power that raised Jesus from the dead lives in us. We Are...Resurrection People! We are empowered by Holy Spirit to live lives of Spirit-filled power, Spirit-fueled love, and Spirit-led obedience.

With two words, Jesus radically transformed the way people viewed him and the power of God's Kingdom. With two words, Jesus speaks powerfully for us and our world today - inviting all of us into the hope, life, authority, and activity of Heaven. Simple and profound, revealing and mysterious, experience the wonder of Jesus as "I Am…"

For thousands of years, followers of Jesus have expressed worship and been reminded of God’s past, present, and future faithfulness by stepping into sacred moments together. These moments—marked by the people of God uniting with the Spirit of God for the purposes of God—have both anchored and propelled the Church.

A penny saved is a penny earned… but you have to spend money to make money. The best things in life are free… but you get what you pay for. The messages we receive about money and how we should interact with it can be confusing; finances can be stressful, and knowing how to live within our means can be hard. But God’s teachings throughout Scripture about our treasure is consistent and hopeful; join us as we dig into practical truth about how we interact with money”.

With the coming of a new year can come our “what if…” questions—What if things stay as they are? What if the worst happens? What if things turn out even better than we planned? But God invites us into a place where our “what if…” is met by the “even if…” of his faithfulness—Even if life is hard, he is working; even if our hopes are not met, he is active. Join us as we discover how to experience an “Even if...” faith in the midst of life’s “what if...” moments.

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.
