  • It’s a new day

    Aren’t you glad?

  • It is Resurrection

    Lord, you are RISEN. Let us not be bored with the resurrection. Let us not yawn our way through another service, nodding off because we just don’t think the service is exciting enough. Forgive us for not thinking resurrection is meaningful! Resurrect us in faith. To know we can pray to a risen Savior and he hears. Resurrect us in service. To know you call us to SERVE and…

  • We wait for Sunday

    The body is laid in the tomb. No movement. No words. Is there hope? We wait.

  • Permanently dead?

    Our life in Christ is powerful. We too often take Lent and think on our miserable failures without realizing the glorious power of the Savior.

  • The God Who Watches Over You

    We have celebrated Resurrection Sunday. We have worshiped the risen Savior. For us at Heights Church, it was a great day. We sang with our hearts. We worshiped the mighty King. These are great days of celebration. It doesn’t take away from the battles we face in our lives. Christ triumphs… and we have to know that triumph even in…
