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...
Christmas is a reminder that God is always at work — even when it feels like coincidence.
In this Christmas message, we look at the story of the wise men and the star that led them to Jesus. What seemed like a simple sign was actually God orchestrating countless details to draw people to Himself. Just like He did for them, God is still using everyday moments, unexpected paths, and personal stories to lead us to Jesus today.

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...
In Part 2 of our Spiritual Warfare Series, we break down the Armor of God and how each piece protects you in the battles you face every day. Learn how to guard your mind, strengthen your faith, walk in peace, and close the weak spots the enemy tries to target.
If you’ve been feeling pressure, temptation, or spiritual resistance, this message will help you stand firm and fight with the strength God provides.
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.
Learn how ...
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...
This week we conclude our journey through the book of Joshua with a powerful challenge: it’s time to get off the fence.
So often, we know what God is calling us to do—but fear, doubt, or comfort keep us stuck. Joshua called the people of Israel to Shechem, a place of decision, and urged them to choose: “As for me and my family, we will serve the Lord.”
In this message, Pastor Heath reminds us that following God requires a clear choic...
Sometimes life throws us problems so overwhelming that we don’t even know where to begin. In Joshua 10, we see Joshua pray one of the boldest prayers in history: “Sun, stand still.” And God answered with a miracle.
In this week’s message, Pray BIG Prayers, Pastor Heath reminds us that our biggest problems require bold prayers to a big God who still does the impossible. Whether it’s healing, salvation, finances, or freedom from addic...

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
