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...

What happens when God asks you to surrender the thing that matters most to you?

In the final message of our Abraham: Faith on the Journey series, we look at one of the most challenging moments in Abraham's life—his willingness to place Isaac on the altar. Through this powerful story, we discover that faith isn't just about believing God's promises; it's about settling the ownership issue once and for all.

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,...

Week 7 of Abraham: Faith on the Journey focuses on one of the most powerful conversations between Abraham and God. As God reveals His plans concerning Sodom and Gomorrah, Abraham responds with prayer, intercession, and a deep concern for others.

In this message, we explore what Abraham’s example teaches us about building a genuine relationship with God through prayer. Prayer is more than presenting a list of requests—it ...

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...

This message explores:

• How our environment and positioning can shape our future

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...

On Palm Sunday, we remember the moment Jesus entered Jerusalem—but we also look ahead to the cross, where three men were crucified side by side. 

Two criminals. Two responses. One Savior.

In this powerful message, we dive into the story from Luke 23 and explore the contrast between the two thieves on the cross—one who mocked Jesus and one who believed. Their stories reveal a truth that still applies today: salvation...

We’re wrapping up our Ephesians series by focusing on a calling every believer shares—fighting for the next generation.

In Ephesians 6, we’re reminded that our faith isn’t just about us. It’s about what we pass on. Whether you’re a parent, mentor, or simply someone with influence, God has entrusted you with the responsibility to invest in those coming after you.

This message challenges us to live w...

In Part 6 of our series through Ephesians, we look at Paul’s challenge in Ephesians 5:15–20 to live wisely and be careful how we spend our time. The world offers many things that promise fulfillment, but only God can truly fill the emptiness in our hearts. 

In this message, we talk about:

• Why the world’s substitutes can never truly satisfy us

• How the way we spend our time shapes our lives

• The danger of living tho...

In Part 5 of our Ephesians series, we continue exploring what it means to live out our identity in Christ. In Ephesians 5, the Apostle Paul calls believers to imitate God and live lives that stand apart from the patterns of the world.

Followers of Jesus are not called to blend in—we are called to reflect Christ. When we truly understand who we are in Him, it begins to change the way we speak, the way we love people, the way we...

In Week 4 of our Ephesians series, we shift from identity to action.

The first three chapters of Ephesians teach us who we are in Christ. But in chapter 4, Paul begins to show us how we are called to live in light of that identity.

We are not called to do life alone.

Just like a team on a mission, we each have a specific calling from God — unique, intentional, and connected to everyone else’s calling. Our lives are like pi...

Week 3 of our Ephesians series takes us into one of the most powerful prayers in the New Testament. In the Epistle to the Ephesians, chapter 3, the Apostle Paul doesn’t pray for better circumstances, financial blessing, or easier lives. He prays for something deeper.

He prays for inner strength.

He prays for Christ to make His home in our hearts.

He prays that we would truly understand how wide, how long, how high, and how ...

What is the church, and why does it matter so much? In the final message of our Rooted series, we talk about what the church truly is, why God designed it the way He did, and how being connected to the church impacts our faith, our lives, and even our future.

The church was never meant to be a building you attend, but a people you belong to. When we’re rooted together, we grow stronger, support one another, and make an eternal...

Can we actually trust the Bible?

In a world where AI blurs reality, truth feels harder to identify than ever. Videos can be fake. Voices can be generated. Even people can be fabricated. So how do we know what’s real anymore?

In Part 1 of our new Rooted series, we ask an honest and foundational question: Can we trust the Bible?

If everything we believe as Christians is built on Scripture, then this question matters more than...
