Heartland Church Of Fort Wayne

"We can do nothing without the power of the Holy Spirit." Bishop Mark preaches about the history of the Sacrament of Confirmation in the Church and where it began with the Apostles in Acts.

Although God is with us, but we don't always make him welcome. This first Sunday of Advent Pastor Dave challenges us to intentionally welcome the presence of the Lord in our daily lives.

As the Israelites experienced God's rescue by going through the Red Sea, we also get to experience it through the waters of baptism.

Pastor Ron gives some practical instruction on how to pray for healing, as well as some personal stories of healings he has seen.

Focus not on things that are seen, but on things that are unseen. Healing is often needed for more than physical issues. Jesus wants us to have freedom from anything that would pull us down, including our desires for earthly things.

Jesus wasn't just concerned with physical healing in his earthly ministry. He has always wanted complete healing for us, including healing for our souls. We can see this in the story Jesus tells in Matthew chapter 18.

In John 5 Jesus heals a man waiting by a pagan healing shrine, and so displays his power and authority.

Why would Jesus wait before going to see Lazarus? Pastor Dave explores Jesus' answers to Martha and to Mary in John chapter 11.

Our ministry partner Rev Tom Otieno from Kenya takes us on a journey to understand healing and the roots of disease.

In Mark 8 Jesus lays hands on a man to heal him, and then he does it again. What does this mean to our view of healing?

Pastor Dave takes a look at Luke 13 and one of the many times Jesus places the wellbeing of an individual over the rules of the sabbath.

Jesus was amazed when he encountered a Roman officer with incredible faith. We should pay attention when the Son of God is amazed at something.

We take a look at the Luke 5 account of Jesus healing a paralyzed man who's friends lowered him through the ceiling. With what kind of people do we surround ourselves? Are we being a help or a hinderance in getting others to Jesus?

God's timing and method is different from ours. Pastor Dave takes us through the John 9 account of Jesus healing a man who was born blind.

In 1 Samuel, we see King David experience many moments of pain. At times he responds from that pain until he allows God to heal his heart.

In Luke 22 as Jesus was being arrested, Jesus stops everything to heal someone who was his "enemy". This account tells us so much about the character of Jesus and his kingdom.

In Luke 17 when Jesus healed ten leppers, we see several words related to healing. These words each have different connotations and together they show us a picture of God's heart to heal and make us whole.

In 2 Chronicles 20 King Jehoshaphat prayed, "We do not know what to do, but we are looking to you for help." That vulnerable prayer postered the people of Judah to hear from God and for God to come to their rescue in an incredible way.

Jesus is the Bread of Life and just like physical food, we can't exist on meals from the past. We need a fresh meal for today. We need to do a heart-check to see where we go when we are spiritually hungry or thirsty. Are we going to Jesus, or other things?

In 1 Corinthians 10:31 we are encouraged to do whatever we do for the glory of God. There is so much more to our life of worship than our times of corporate worship. Pastor Dave talks about how we can take even the small or unpleasant things and make them part of our worship to God.
