The Apostle Paul wrote the book of Philippians while chained to a Roman guard. Yet this short book is considered to be Paul's most joyful letter. How can that be, when his circumstances were so undesirable? It's because we easily mistake the difference between happiness and joy. 

In this message from Philippians chapter 2, Pastor Skyler shares how the key to lasting joy is humility. Joy is not pleasure, a mere sensation, but a pervasive and constant sense of wellbeing. As author and Biblical scholar Dallas Willard said, "Hope in the goodness of God is joy's indispensable support." There can be no lasting joy in the life of a Christ-follower who puts himself and his happiness above others.

With this message, we start a new series across all our campuses entitled "Happy: Know Joy No Matter What".  Most happiness seems to rise and fall on our circumstance.  But joy comes from a different place.  Deep and lasting joy comes from knowing the source of joy — Jesus.  In this message from Philippians 1, Pastor Skyler shows that joy is not elation. Joy is unwavering peace because of the unwavering faithfulness of a loving God. It begins with doing life with Jesus. Do you have that joy that only comes with doing life with Jesus?

We wrapped up our Outsider series with this message from Luke 23 about the thieves at the crucifixion. Two thieves on crosses, on opposite sides of Jesus spend their final moments of life on opposite ends of the spectrum of belief and understanding. In this message, Pastor Skyler shares how the heart of God responds to us, even when we are convinced we don’t deserve it.

In our culture, we tend to look out for number one. Around the world, it's a common problem lurking in the heart of man. The Good Samaritan is a well-known story, told in Luke 10 in response to a question from a guy who was looking for a loophole. Do I really need to love everyone?

In some ways loving God is the easy part. The hard part is loving others. In this message, Pastor Skyler shows us that God wants obedience but we often want options. When the church stops loving people, we stop being the church. Loving our neighbor is the differentiator. What makes it hard to love your neighbor? Everyone is your neighbor.

In this series we're watching how God responds to those who are viewed as insiders and outsiders. In this message, we look at a woman who by all definitions is an outsider in her culture. She shows up at a banquet put on by an insider, and what unfolds is a remarkable example for all of us as we see how Jesus responds.

Whenever you look at groups of people, you find those who seem to belong and get everything that group is about. But because there is an "in-group" it implies there is an "out-group". Jesus had the amazing ability to draw the outsiders in but also be listened to by the insiders.

In this first message in our Outsiders series, Pastor Skyler looks how Jesus responds to both an insider and outsider. Both had desperate issues and approached Jesus for help. How did Jesus respond? You'll learn that we're all the same at the feet of Jesus.

Have you tried and tried, only to fall short in your striving, feeling like you're at the end of the rope? Pastor Skyler shares that God, in His graciousness, will sometimes close each of the doors we try to open in our own efforts. Everything you're looking for is answered in the person Jesus.

Welcome to the Heritage Kids Take Over service! This special service was designed to give us all a taste of what each weekend offers for the children of Heritage Church. Join us for this replay of the Take Over!

The Prodigal Son is one of the best-known parables in the Bible. Charles Dickens admired it as the greatest short story ever told. Yet as much as it's about the son who squandered his father's wealth only to return in repentance, it's also a remarkable story about a forgiving father and an older brother who struggled with his father's response.

Which of the two sons are you?

In this final message in our "Read All About It" series, Pastor Carlos Lollett gives a fresh look at the parable from Luke 15. We long for joy while aimlessly looking for it in all the wrong places. The arms of a loving Savior are opened wide. Pastor Carlos challenges you to consider: "What are you waiting for?"
