Day of Prayer
They devoted themselves to prayer...

Prayer is a practice. Prayer is a command. Prayer is a gift.

In the book of Acts, prayer is referred to in twenty of the twenty-eight chapters. It is central to who the first believers were. They fellowshipped around it. They fought for one another through it. They saw miracles and people freed from prisons because of their prayers. They watched their friends able to withstand torture and death because of the strength given through lives dedicated to prayer.

We don’t totally get it. We think of prayer as secondary to action or as an excuse to not act but these passionate and purpose-filled believers saw it as their first action in service of God. And because of that belief, they did incredible things. They saw the Holy Spirit do incredible things.

We want to see it as essential. We want to practice it like it we see it as essential. And we want to experience it as the gift it is.

So on September 24th, from 6am to 6pm, we will devote ourselves to prayer. This will be the a similar experience to the 24 Hours of Prayer we hosted back in the spring. We will have stations where you can pray through scripture, paint scripture, and pray over specific requests from people in our church and the people in your life who need to know Jesus. This isn’t sitting in a chair for an hour trying to work yourself up to say the right things or keep your mind stayed on the right things. This will feel so easy that you will be there for an hour and want to stay for twelve.

We will end the day with worship together because God deserves our all out praise!

This Week's Message "Grounded in the Love of Jesus" Blake Williams What does it actually look like to grow as a disciple of Jesus? In this message, Pastor Blake walks through the second part of Heritage Church’s vision and explores how spiritual disciplines help shape us into the image of Christ. Rather than simply knowing more about Jesus, we are called to become more like Him. Through inward, outward, and corporate spiritual disciplines, we learn to intentionally create space for God to transform our hearts, our relationships, and the way we live. Following Jesus is a lifelong journey of growth, and we don’t have to do it alone.

All Church Lunch on 9/13!
Stick around after service on Sunday, September 13 for All Church Lunch—a relaxed afternoon with free hamburgers and hot dogs, plenty of good food, and space to connect with friends or meet someone new at Heritage. That morning, we’ll also be celebrating the fall launch of Small Groups and the opportunity to grow deeper in relationship with Jesus and one another. It’s a simple picture of what it means to be grounded, growing, and generous together—sharing life, food, and community as a church family. Lunch is on us! But help make the table even better by bringing a favorite tailgate-style side or snack to share, like chips and dip, wings, taquitos, little smokies, nachos, kabobs, or whatever you love to bring to the party. No registration needed—just bring something to share and plan to stick around!

Once dead in sin, we have been made alive by grace, brought near to God, and joined together as members of His family. Because of what Jesus has done, we can walk confidently in the good works He has prepared for us—living with humility, unity, and love as His Church displays the wisdom and grace of God to the world.

In Daniel 3, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego face an impossible choice: bow before the king's golden image or be thrown into a blazing furnace. Their courage reminds us that true faith isn't measured by whether God rescues us from every trial, but by our willingness to trust Him no matter the outcome. And in one of the most powerful moments in Scripture, God reveals that He doesn't simply deliver His people from the fire—He joins them in it. This message explores how believers can stand firm in a culture of compromise, endure suffering with confidence, and live with the hope that God is always present, even in life's fiercest flames.
