Life Is Better Connected
Easy and Light
December 31, 2023 • Rev. Joel Eguiluz
Some of us may be feeling that way today, like we are trying really hard to please God by doing things (coming to church and reading our bible and giving here and there) and we are about to beef up our efforts with our new year resolutions tonight, we are going to promise to read more, come to church more often, and we are trying and trying and it never seems enough because we always fall short. Jesus extends an invitation, which by the way it is still open, He invites people to come to Him. He turns none away, He says come.
A Plan for Giving to the Poor
October 15, 2023 • Dr. Randall T. Hahn
Caring for the poor is very much a part of God’s heart, the heart of the Jewish faith, the heart of the Christian faith. Jesus makes it part of what it means to come follow Him. Now, there are lots of things that it means to follow Him, but helping the poor is one of only two things that is uniquely attached like this to what it means to follow Jesus. We can and should ask, 'Am I following Jesus if I am not helping the poor?'
Cannabis and the Christian: Wisdom, Freedom, or Sin?
June 11, 2023 • Dr. Todd Miles
We used to say it is wrong to smoke marijuana because it was illegal and as Christians, we are to obey the law. Well, it is now recreationally legal in 19 states and medically legal in 36 others. This requires us to think through this issue with a little more thought and Todd Miles will show us what that looks like to think biblically and as a disciple of Christ on this issue. He will also give us a grid to think biblically on other ethical issues not specifically addressed in the Bible. Todd Miles is the author of Cannabis and the Christian, and a professor at Western Theological Seminary.

Worthy
April 2, 2023 • Dr. Randall T. Hahn
Good morning and welcome to The Heights on Palm Sunday. Karen and I along with 88 of you just got back from Israel, back from the road Jesus was on when they waved those palm branches. It was the most incredible time in the Holy Land, worshiping and learning together as we walked where Jesus walked. And from that excitement and energy I'm here today to share this moment with you. All are welcome to the Table of the Lord who are of the Lord. Are you of the Lord? Does being in church mean you are of the Lord? Does being a member of a church mean you are of the Lord? Does taking the Lord’s Supper mean I am of the Lord? Hey, what if I take the Lord’s Supper in Israel because a bunch of us just did? Does that make us a little more of the Lord? Turn with me today to 1 Corinthians 11:27-29.
Preparing For Profit
February 19, 2023 • Dr. Randall T. Hahn
The title of my message today is Preparing for Profit. Not your normal profit, but the big one. We talked last week about coming into big money and how often the proves to be a disaster for people, and that is why the Bible warns about it. Or even the regular profit. You finally get that big raise. In America that means one year from now you will still have the same financial stress and debt. Only in America can more money mean more debt and stress. So we want be prepared for it, not just managing more money, but its impact on our lives. And here is how: be a giver. Pursue blessing, enrichment, by giving, not receiving.
Jonah: When God says “Go” and we say “No!”
January 1, 2023 • Rev. Steve Freeman
This morning I want us to work our way through an entire book of The Bible. And this particular book of The Bible has also been made into a movie. The difference being while this movie is less than 2 hours long it will only take you 6 and a 1/2 minutes to read through the book that we're going to work our way through this morning. Turn with me to the Old Testament book of Jonah. As we work our way through these 4 chapters...just 48 verses in total, I believe God has something for each of us. I believe that there are some very practical lessons that we can learn from Jonah. Chapter 1.
Remember
November 20, 2022 • Dr. Randall T. Hahn
We all have things we need to do in life, to this week. We all struggle with letting less important things crowd out the more important things. We need to focus on what is most important. Jesus seems to be saying the act of remembering is how we keep the main thing the main thing. We need in our lives the discipline of remembering.
