Don’t miss out on a great message from Pastor John as he shares with us how the perspective you have of God will shape and determine the prayers that you pray. The good news today is that we serve a God who hears our prayers and who isn’t limited by our prayers or views of his vastness.
We're entering into the second week of our 21 days of Prayer & Fasting. This week we have a special emphasis on prayers of intercession. Through the person of Jesus we are able to have unlimited access to our creator and we believe that being in communion with God is something we can celebrate and share. It is through prayers of intercession that we are able to bring the people we know to the God we love, surrendering them to the loving care of our Lord and Savior.
If you're like the rest of us, oftentimes it can be difficult to rejoice always and to give thanks. It might feel like there isn't much of anything to be thankful for. When you approach God with a posture of thanksgiving, you surrender your own needs and see the character of God; a loving, caring and gracious Savior. By creating a foundation of thanksgiving, you open the door of opportunity to see God with an entirely new perspective. You will see that even here, amidst your circumstance, you can rejoice. Even here, the Lord is good.
We began our new teaching series on Prayer & Fasting and we can't wait for what's to come. If you’ve ever wondered about the purpose and practice of prayer and fasting, this week’s message is for you! Starting NEXT MONDAY we are stepping into 21 Days of Prayer & Fasting as the Heights family. Before then, we wanted to begin this time with a week of intentionality. Our hope is that you take this time to review your own motivations and understanding on prayer & fasting.

What if you are plan A when Jesus says I will build my church? What if the church is not about an institution or a building, but a gathering for people for a special purpose?Check out this message and hear the challenge that pastor john has for us from the teachings of Jesus.
When Jesus said, “it is finished!” Then bowed his head and gave up his spirit", a new course of life and identity was ignited. From that moment, a new purpose was created in each of us and the trajectory of eternity was forever changes.If you weren't able to join us this weekend, we invite you to explore with us how the sacrifice given translates to our own lives and how we can walk in the redemption that Jesus has given us.
This weekend we dove into the sixth week of our current series, What If. Pastor John took us on a journey through the story of the Good Samaritan and talked about what it looks like to die to ourselves and bring life to those around us. As you go throughout your week, we encourage you to to sit with these two questions What areas of your life need to die to self? How can you bring life to those around you?
What if we are missing the point when it comes to spending eternity with Christ? Oftentimes we make eternity about a destination; a place of arrival. Instead, It’s about knowing Jesus and letting that relationship overflow into every area of your life. As we go into this next week and step into new areas and spaces, we pray that you’re empowered to experience and know the father in everything you do.
Too often we get so focused on what’s happening in our own lives that we miss what’s going on in the world around us. today we have the opportunity to slow down and catch the heart of Jesus for the lost.If you didn't have the chance to hang out with us this weekend, make sure to check out our conversation about being on mission, focusing on the world around us, and seeing the lost who need Jesus. We pray that you are motivated to take the teachings of Jesus and allow it to stir your heart toward action for Christ.
