I’ve always been intrigued by the layout of the gospel of John. We have 4 Gospels in the Bible that tell the story of the birth, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. John does that in 21 chapters, and 5 of those chapters, chapters 13-17, are about what went on in the Upper Room that Thursday night before He was crucified. That means 24% of John covers 3 hours of Jesus’ life. Now in this 24% we see what Jesus was doing, thinking, talking about, and praying for the night before He knew He would be crucified. What would be important to you if you were healthy, strong, of sound mind; but only had about 18 hours to live. These chapters are showing us what Jesus did. He ends with a prayer. I want to look at the end of that prayer, the last thing on His heart and mind before He steps into His passion.

The Heights Strategy in Partnering
April 28, 2024 • Rev. Wes Rose
Today is the culmination of the last three weeks coming out of Easter. And we are going to address one of the most significant aspects of missions at our church. And that is partnerships. When possible, we develop partnerships for a variety of reasons, and we base our partnerships on Relationships, trust and common purpose or goal. Both overseas and local partners have skills, resources and an expertise that may not have or need to have because of our partnership.
Missions Strategy for The Heights
April 21, 2024 • Rev. Wes Rose
I need (or we need as a church) to have a strategy. Not trying to sound business like or corporate, but there are a lot of needs and people out there and there is a limit on time, people and resources it would be impossible try and do everything. And somewhere along the way I am trusting that God has a plan.
He's Alive, So Love
April 14, 2024 • Dr. Randall T. Hahn
Already two weeks past Easter, but you remember we ended our Easter service asking the question, 'How does someone who possesses the good news that Jesus is alive, that I have been saved from sin, death, and hell; live?' What is the appropriate response to this good news? Last week we heard Jesus say, 'I am alive, go tell, go share.' And today we will hear Him say, 'I am alive, go love.'
