ABOUT THIS MESSAGE Today's culture often says: "god is whoever I want him/her/it to be." In sharp contrast, the Bible declares God is “I AM WHO I AM” — the unchanging One who defines Himself, not us.

This week, church plan resident Mauri Villasenor kicks off our advent season with a message from Mathew.

Acts 20 confronts us with a choice: pursue comfort, or follow the Spirit into a life that actually counts. Paul shows us three shifts—Spirit-leadership, sacrificial suffering, and self-denial, calling us to one urgent invitation: don't waste your life.

Message Delivered November 9, 2025 The Heights Church, Denver, Colorado

In Acts 16, we learn four small acts that lead to a big move of God.

Jonah 3 reveals a God of second chances—grace for rebels and rule-followers alike. Don't hide in rebellion or religion. Turn to the God who runs toward both.

When we run from God, it's always conscious, costly, and crazy. But the storm He sends is not to pay us back—it's to bring us back. Stop running and return to Jesus, our greater Jonah and perfect substitute.

God speaks, sends, and shows surprising grace—even to enemies. This week we begin a new series about how Jonah ran, but Jesus obeyed.

In this message from Ephesians 6:10–19, Pastor Mike unpacks prayer as the secret weapon of the Christian life. Discover why prayer is powerful, why it's so hard, and how to pray in a way that actually changes things.

This week, Casey Withers continues our series "When discipleship gets difficult", helping us understand the sword of the Spirit and the importance of Gods word in our lives as followers of Jesus.

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.

McLoughlin Heights Church of God will host Community Safety & Wellness Day on June 28 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. in Vancouver, with booths, activities, and a closing worship service. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/news/mcloughlin-heights-church-of-god-hosts-community-safety-wellness-day/ #VancouverWA #CommunityWellness #FamilyEvent #McLoughlinHeightsChurch #ClarkCountyEvents #RedCross #CPRtraining #FireSafety #ClarkCountyHistory #FreeEvent

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 this episode of 'Speak the Truth,' listeners are invited to register for the upcoming ABC Call to Council conference. Mike is joined with Justin Greene and Mary Young, both cancer survivors, discuss their newly launched Cancer Care Ministry at Salem Heights Church. They share their personal journeys with cancer, the unique challenges faced by cancer patients, and how the new ministry aims to provide practical support, emotional comfort, and spiritual guidance. Key topics include the importance of humor, sharing stories, and maintaining hope amid suffering. Additionally, they emphasize the necessity for other churches to consider establishing similar support groups and provide resources for starting such initiatives. 00:00 Introduction and Conference Announcement01:39 Welcome to Speak the Truth Podcast02:13 Introducing Justin Green and Mary Young02:37 Justin's Cancer Journey04:48 Mary's Cancer Journey06:15 Launching the Cancer Care Ministry16:33 The Oasis Cancer Support Groups27:39 Encouragement and Resources for Churches30:17 Conclusion and Contact InformationEpisode MentionsOur Journey of Hope - Cancer Resources 

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.

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.

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.

This teaching was recorded from the gathering of The Heights Church in Denver, CO. 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.

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. 07/28/24 - John 16:5-15 - It is Better 08/04 - John 3 - Are You Born Again? 08/11 - Galatians 5 - How to Change 08/18 - 1 Corinthians 12 - Gift-Giver 09/01 - Acts 1-2 - Empowerer for Mission For more information about The Heights Church, or to contact us, visit our website at TheHeightsDenver.com
