The Heights Church - Sermons

Jesus is building His church—but what do we do when there's no more room? We take our cues from four desperate friends: we tear the roof off. This week is a call to radical faith and sacrificial mission, to do whatever it takes to get people to Jesus.

When discipleship feels like a fight, it's because it is one. You're in a spiritual war—even if you don't see it. This week, we begin by learning to wake up to the war and stand strong in God's strength.

To follow Jesus is to reorient your entire life around him. It's not self-love, absolute freedom, or chasing desires—it's self-denial, binding commitment, and daily surrender. He invites us not just to believe, but to walk closely with him into true abundance.

This week, ministry apprentices Will Read talks about the why and how behind choosing to turn to Jesus.

Join us this week as Ben Virgo talkes about the grace of God through Jesus Christ.

We all feel the ache of a broken world. Genesis 3 shows us why—and more importantly, how God responds. Only Christianity gives us both raw honesty and real hope: Jesus pursues us, promises victory, and provides covering through the cross.

Sin isn't just breaking rules—it's rejecting God's design for life. This week, we explore how deception, desire, and destructive opportunity unravel the beauty of God's plan and why we need something greater to restore us.

God designed you for joy, relationship, purpose, and dependence on Him. This week, we'll dive into Genesis 1:26 and discover that true life is found living inside the beautiful design of our good and generous Creator.

Easter isn't just a story — it's a personal invitation. In Acts 9, Saul moves from thinking the resurrection is ridiculous to realizing it's real. Jesus meets us in our pain, sends us companions, and calls us to new life. Conversion is possible.

In Acts 8, we meet two men on different journeys who model one thing: simple obedience to Jesus. Whether you're a seasoned disciple or brand new in faith, God's invitation is the same — hear Him, trust Him, and follow.

In Acts 8, we see that everywhere Jesus goes, joy follows. This Sundays message unpacks how ordinary people bring revival to unlikely places.

Acts 7 tells the account of Stephen, the first Christian martyr of the early church. In Acts, Stephen preaches that Jesus is the main thing. This Sunday, we looked at the 4 realities that are true about us when we live in light of that truth.

This week, we dive into the reality of unseen battles. As the book of Acts displays, we're surrounded—not just by physical struggles, but by a real spiritual realm. Where God moves, signs and wonders follow—strongholds break, darkness flees, and faith rises.

This passage contrasts Barnabas, the encourager who gave all, with Ananias and Sapphira, who lied about their offering and died. The fear of God precedes His favor, a biblical truth shaping our 2025 vision for sacrificial mission, bringing Acts to life on Colfax, her in Denver CO.

In Acts 4, the disciples face resistance for the first time. They're arrested, thrown in jail, and put on trial. But as soon as they're released, where do they go? Straight back to their people. They don't retreat alone—they run to community. That's what the church is meant to be: a place of retreat and renewal so we can keep shining light in a dark world.

Yesterday, we unpacked Acts 4:1-13 and saw a tough reality: where God moves, resistance follows. Peter and John faced opposition, yet their boldness revealed what resilient mission looks like. We learned that resistance isn't a sign of God's absence but often proof of His presence. Standing firm requires Spirit-dependence, exclusive salvation, intimacy with Jesus, and fearing God over people.

In this sermon, Pastor Casey Withers walks us through the first miracle recorded in the early church, which proves that the life-giving power of Jesus continues to move forward with his church.

In Acts 2:47, we see a church where God is at work—adding to their number daily as lives are transformed by the gospel. This week, we're talking about the heartbeat of mission: joining God in what He's already doing, making room for growth, and stepping into bold faith for those around us. Together, we'll discover how to live as highways of grace, bringing the hope of Jesus to our city one life at a time.

What makes a church truly good? In Acts 2:42-47, we see a powerful picture of the early church—devoted to discipleship, scripture, community, prayer, and mission. This week, we're diving into what it means to move from distracted discipleship to devoted discipleship, aligning our lives with Jesus in a way that transforms us and those around us. Join us as we explore Acts 2, and take real steps toward deep, committed faith.

At The Heights, we're diving into Acts 2:14-39, where Peter's first sermon ignites a movement and transforms lives with the truth of the gospel. This week, we're exploring how God's truth—revealed through the cross, the resurrection, and the ascension of Jesus—shapes who we are and what we live for. Together, we'll unpack what it means to stand firm in a culture searching for meaning, living as people marked by God's unshakable truth and empowered by His Spirit.

At The Heights, we're diving into one of the most pivotal chapters in the Bible—Acts 2, the moment where the church is born and God's Spirit transforms everything. This week, we're exploring how the Holy Spirit empowers every believer for sacrificial mission, bringing fresh wind and fire to fuel God's work in our lives and communities. Join us as we unpack what it means to be an Acts 2 church—alive with God's presence, truth, discipleship, and mission.

A recording from Sunday Jan 12, 2025 Sermon by Corbin Hobbs This week on the podcast, we explore our church's 2025 vision as the "Year of Sacrificial Mission." Drawing inspiration from the book of Acts, the sermon challenges us to embrace God's unstoppable redemptive mission, fueled by the Holy Spirit and a willingness to risk for the gospel. Tune in for stories of generosity, bold faith, and the call to carry Jesus' mission to the ends of the earth.

To learn more about The Heights Church, you can go to TheHeightsDenver.com Everyone wants to live a life that flourishes but few know the pathway into that kind of life. Most people are living in spiritual, financial, relational and emotional ruin. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus gives us a vision for how we were made to live and serves as our guide on the pathway back to flourishing. As we walk the path with Jesus this Fall, we are going to find that the way into flourishing is different than most people think. In fact, in many ways it is the exact opposite of what we are told in our cultural moment. Jonathan Pennington describes it this way, “The Sermon's answer to the human-flourishing question is that true human flourishing is only available through communion with the Father God through his revealed Son, Jesus, as we are empowered by the Holy Spirit. This flourishing is only experienced through faithful, heart-deep, whole-person discipleship, following Jesus' teachings and life, which situate the disciple into God's community or kingdom.” D.A. Carson calls the Sermon on the mount “Jesus' confrontation with the world.” Each week we will look at a broken vision of flourishing and compare it with Jesus' vision in the Sermon. We will use Jesus' mnemonic device “You have heard that it was said, but I say to you” in order to compare and contrast the world's vision of flourishing with Jesus' vision of flourishing.

From our Sunday gathering on 09/01/24 A special message from our Friend Carlos Lollett -- pastor of Reality Miami.

The following episode is a live recorded sermon from the Sunday gathering at The Heights Church Denver on 08/18/24 The Spirit Empowers us for Mission: Acts 1 | Holy Spirit Jonathan Hunt The Holy Spirit has famously been called “the forgotten God.” Christians give a lot of attention to the Father who pursues and loves his prodigal children. We, of course, love Jesus who came and accomplished our salvation through a cross and resurrection. But when it comes to the Spirit many Christians are at a loss. The Spirit feels like the proverbial “third-wheel” on the trinitarian date. And much of this is because of the lack of good teaching on the person and work of the Holy Spirit. But without the Holy Spirit, we cannot be adopted into the Fathers family or receive the forgiveness for our sins that Jesus accomplished on the cross. In the words of Father Ignatius Hazim, “Without the Holy Spirit, God is distant, Christ is in the past, the Gospel is a dead letter, the Church is simply an organization, authority is always domination, mission is propaganda, worship is the summoning of spirits, and Christian action is the morality of slaves.” We need the Holy Spirit.
