What kind of person can God use?

In Judges 7, God reduced Gideon’s army to just 300 men. Through their story, we discover that God isn’t looking for the most impressive, influential, or powerful people. He is looking for people with the right heart.

In this message from The Underdog, we look at what it means to live with humility, overcome fear, trust God’s plans, stay spiritually alert, and serve the people around ...

How do we know when God is speaking?

In Part 3 of The Underdog, we continue through Gideon’s story in Judges 6 as he asks God for confirmation through the fleece. His story teaches us that hearing from God is not about constantly looking for signs - it is about becoming familiar with His voice.

God speaks through His Word, through the Holy Spirit, and often in the quiet moments when we finally turn down everything else competin...

Before Gideon could take on the enemy around him, God called him to deal with what was happening at home.

In Week 2 of The Underdog, we continue through Gideon’s story in Judges 6 and look at what it means to experience God’s peace in the middle of conflict, confront the issues and idols from our past, live our faith publicly, and trust God when obedience brings opposition.

What from your past is God asking you to surrend...

God loves using the underdog.

In Judges 6, Gideon saw himself as weak, insignificant, and unqualified. God looked at the same man and called him a “mighty hero.”

In the first message of The Underdog, we look at how the enemy uses fear and hopelessness to keep us from moving forward, why our perspective matters, and what can happen when we begin believing what God says about us instead of what our circumstances say.

Churches are spiritual wells, but Jesus is the living water that gives them purpose.

In Part 3 of At The Well, we look at the story of Moses in Exodus 2 and what it teaches us about making the well accessible to others. The church should be a place where people can come to know Jesus, grow deeper in God’s Word, and experience the life-changing work He does in us.

We also look at why spiritual depth matters, why everything we he...

America has a loneliness problem, but God created us for connection—to Him and to one another.

In Genesis 29, Jacob was alone, hundreds of miles from home and running for his life when he arrived at a well. What seemed like an ordinary moment became a life-changing connection when he met Rachel.

In Part 2 of At The Well, we discover how God leads us toward togetherness, why meaningful relationships require us to take a step tow...

In the first message of our new At The Well series, we look at the story of Isaac in Genesis 26 and what ancient wells can teach us about relationships, community, and intentionally bringing people together.

Wells didn’t happen by accident. They had to be dug on purpose, maintained on purpose, and kept open. In the same way, healthy relationships require intentional effort.

This message explores what it means to keep Jesus at t...

God doesn’t always work the way we expect.

In the final week of our Misfits series, we look at the life of Ezekiel—a man who spent his life preparing to become a priest, only to have that future suddenly taken away when he was carried into exile. But what looked like the end of Ezekiel’s plan became the beginning of God calling him to something completely different.

Through Ezekiel’s vision of the valley of dr...

In Part 2 of Misfits, we look at the life of Hosea and one of the most unusual assignments God ever gave to a prophet.

Hosea’s marriage became a living picture of God’s relationship with His people. While Gomer repeatedly wandered away, Hosea continued to pursue her, love her, and eventually buy her back. Her story mirrors our own tendency to drift from God while searching for fulfillment in places that can never truly s...

What do you do when following God means standing alone?

In the first message of our Misfits series, we look at the life of the prophet Jeremiah—a young man called by God to deliver an unpopular message to a nation that refused to listen. For forty years, Jeremiah faithfully warned God’s people to repent, even as he faced rejection, ridicule, and discouragement.

His story reminds us that being faithful to God has never bee...

This week at Heartland Church, we celebrated America’s 250th anniversary by looking beyond patriotism to what Scripture says about living as followers of Christ in today’s culture.

Drawing from 1 Peter 2, this special message explores America’s Christian heritage, what it means to live in a post-Christian society, and why our identity as citizens of God’s Kingdom must always come before our earthly citizenshi...

In Week 8 of our Abraham: Faith on the Journey series, we examine one of the most well-known events in Scripture—the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah.

Through the story of Lot, Abraham, and the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, we discover the dangers of spiritual drift, the destructive nature of sin, and the importance of staying rooted in God. This message challenges us to listen to God's warnings, reject pride and selfishness,...

In Part 6 of our Abraham series, How God Changes Our Hearts, we explore one of the most unusual passages in Abraham’s story and discover the powerful spiritual truth behind it. God uses the imagery of circumcision to reveal how He works deep within us, cutting away our sinful nature and transforming our hearts from the inside out. Through Abraham’s journey, we learn what it means to trust God in the messy middle between...

Part 4 of the “Abraham: Faith On The Journey” series looks at one of the most powerful moments in Abraham’s life — when God makes a covenant with him in Genesis 15.

This message explores what a covenant really is, why God’s promises are different than ordinary agreements, and how God responds to Abraham’s fears, questions, and uncertainty with faithfulness.

In this message, we look at:

• The meani...

What do you do when life suddenly takes a turn you never expected?

In Part 3 of our Abraham series, we look at Genesis 14 and the powerful rescue story of Abraham and Lot. Through unexpected battles, difficult choices, and moments of courage, we discover what it means to trust God when life gets messy and uncertain.

This message explores:

• How our environment and positioning can shape our future
• Why spiritual preparation matters bef...

What do you do when God tells you to wait?

In Part 4 of Our Risen Savior, Pastor Heath Hiatt shares Jesus’ final words before ascending to Heaven: Wait for the Holy Spirit. In a world that pushes speed, instant results, and rushing ahead, God often works through seasons of waiting.

This message unpacks how waiting is not weakness, laziness, or wasted time—it is preparation. When we trust God’s timing instead of forc...

Have you ever felt like you messed up too badly for God to use you again?

In Part 3 of our Our Risen Savior series, we look at one of the most powerful moments after the resurrection—when Jesus restores Peter after his greatest failure. Peter denied Jesus three times and believed he had ruined everything… but Jesus had a different plan.

Through this message, we see that no failure is final with God. Jesus meets us i...

On that first Easter, two disciples walked a road filled with confusion, disappointment, and unanswered questions… not realizing Jesus was walking right beside them.

In this powerful Easter message, we kick off our new series Our Risen Savior by looking at the story of the road to Emmaus in Luke 24. It’s a reminder that no matter where you are in life—whether you’re searching, struggling, or growing—Je...
