As we step into a new year, we’re sharing what God has been speaking over Heartland Church for 2026 — a year marked by a fresh wind, renewed purpose, and being ready for how God wants to move.

This looks back with gratitude, acknowledges the shaking many experienced, and casts vision for what’s ahead. It’s a reminder that we don’t manufacture what God is doing — we raise our sails and follow where His Spirit leads.

What do you do when what’s in front of you is bigger than what you have?

In Lord, I Need You, we look at two powerful miracles from Matthew 14 — Jesus feeding the 5,000 and Jesus walking on the water. Though they happen in very different moments, they reveal the same life-changing truth: recognizing our need for Jesus is not weakness, it’s the foundation of faith.

This message reminds us that:

• God often allows us to see our limits...

As we close out the year, we turn to the Psalms of Ascent (Psalms 120–134)—a collection of songs God’s people sang while climbing toward Jerusalem.

These psalms were written for the journey. They remind us how to walk with God when the road is long, the climb is steep, and the finish feels far away. In this message, we explore how the Psalms of Ascent teach us to bring our troubles to the Lord, praise Him in the middle of the jo...

In Part 3 of the Jonah series, we step into the uncomfortable ending of the story—where obedience is present, but the heart is still misaligned. Jonah watches an entire city repent, yet instead of celebrating, he’s angry. Why? Because God’s compassion challenged Jonah’s priorities.

This message dives into Jonah chapter 4 and wrestles with big questions we all face:

• Can we obey God without sharing His heart?

• Do we care more about o...

In Part 2 of our Jonah series, we step back into one of the most surprising turnarounds in the Bible. Jonah finally obeys, speaks a simple message, and God does what only God can do. An entire city repents. Hearts shift. Lives change. And we discover that repentance still reroutes ruin today.

In this message, we look at why God cares about “those people,” why our spiritual condition affects the people around us, and how small co...

A runaway prophet, a raging storm, a swallowed man, and a God who never stops pursuing His people.

We’re launching a new sermon series through the book of Jonah – not just a story about a fish, but a mirror that reveals our own hearts. Jonah ran. We run. Yet God still calls, redirects, and restores.

In this message, we walk through Jonah chapter 1 and discover that

• God directs – we choose whether to obey
• Running from God always lea...

In Part 3 of our Spiritual Warfare Series, we dig into one of the most deceptive tactics of the enemy: when something sounds spiritual, even godly, but isn’t from God at all. Using Acts 16 as our guide, we look at how Paul discerned a spirit that mimicked truth while working behind the scenes to deceive, distort, and choke out real spiritual life.

If you’ve ever wondered, “Is this God, the enemy, or just life?”—this message gives pr...

This week we begin a powerful new series, Spiritual Warfare. Step into the unseen battle that surrounds us every day — a war not against people, but against the powers of darkness. In this first message, we uncover who Satan truly is, how pride led to his fall, and why he relentlessly attacks God’s people. Through Scripture and real-life stories of freedom, we see that while the enemy is real, so is our victory in Christ.

This week wraps up our Faith Under Fire series with Part 9: Grace Under Fire.

Through the Apostle Paul’s story of the “thorn in the flesh,” we see how God’s grace shows up in weakness, how His strength carries us through what we can’t remove, and how even our struggles can be used for His glory.

If you’ve ever felt worn down by something that won’t go away, this message will remind you that God’s grace is still enough—right where...

When we measure ourselves against others, we lose sight of what really matters. In 2 Corinthians 10, Paul challenges the church to stop comparing and start focusing on the mission God gave them. This week, Pastor Heath unpacks how comparison robs us of joy, distracts us from our calling, and keeps us from living in the unique “sphere” God designed for each of us.

Learn how to take your eyes off yourself, off others, and fix them bac...

Have you ever struggled with your self-worth? In this week’s message, Self-Worth Under Fire, Pastor Heath explores what the Bible really says about who we are in Christ. We’re not perfect, but we’re not worthless either—we’re jars of clay filled with the Spirit of God. Through 2 Corinthians 4, we’re reminded that our value doesn’t come from what’s on the outside, but from Who lives inside of us.

Even in our brokenness, God’s light s...

In this week’s message, Pastor Heath shares how following Jesus isn’t about spinning plates or keeping endless rules. Through 2 Corinthians 3:6-11, we see that God calls us into a new covenant—not one of laws, but of the Spirit. Jesus fulfilled the old covenant so we can live in the freedom of grace and relationship, not religion.

Discover what it means to rest in God’s unshakable love, to stop striving for perfection, and to find p...

In a world that redefines love at every turn, how do we hold onto what’s real? This week, Pastor Heath Hiatt unpacks 1 Corinthians 13—one of the most powerful passages in all of Scripture—and reminds us that true love isn’t just a feeling, it’s a decision.

From the chaos of Corinth to the confusion of our culture, this message dives deep into the difference between emotional, conditional love and the unshakable agape love that c...

This week’s message, Witness Under Fire, challenges us to live boldly as followers of Christ in a world where faith often feels opposed. Looking at 1 Corinthians 9, Pastor Heath reminds us that being a witness means wearing the servant’s apron, changing our methods without changing the message, and laying aside our own freedoms so nothing distracts from Jesus.

Like the Corinthians, we live in a culture filled with competing voic...

This week at Heartland Church, we continue our Faith Under Fire series with a challenging and timely message: Purity Under Fire.

In 1 Corinthians 6, Paul speaks directly to the church in Corinth about sin, temptation, and the call to live holy lives. Just like Corinth, our culture is saturated with sexual temptation and compromise. But God’s Word is clear—sin damages our lives, while freedom and true fulfillment are found in Chr...

What happens when the very foundation of your faith is tested? In Part 2 of our Faith Under Fire series, Pastor Heath unpacks Paul’s words in 1 Corinthians and reminds us that if the foundation is wrong, everything built on it will eventually collapse.

Just like the Leaning Tower of Pisa, cracks in the foundation put the whole structure at risk. In this week’s message, Identity Under Fire, we explore why Jesus must remain the f...

This week we begin our brand-new series, Faith Under Fire, walking through 1 and 2 Corinthians together. In Part 1, Our Identity Is Under Fire, Pastor Heath unpacks how the Apostle Paul reminded the Corinthian church of who they truly were in Christ—ordinary people transformed by an extraordinary God.

In a culture where value is often tied to wealth, power, or success, Paul calls us back to the truth that our worth comes from Christ...

Sometimes life feels overwhelming, and all we have to offer is plain “water”—our limited resources, our ordinary efforts, and our broken situations. In this one-off sermon, Bring It to Jesus, Pastor Heath unpacks the story of Jesus’ very first miracle at the wedding in Cana (John 2:1–11). This moment shows us the importance of admitting our need for Him, taking small steps of obedience, trusting His timing, and believing that He ca...
