Heritage Baptist Church Podcast

Tim and Laura (Arendt) Compton are on their way to Thailand with the Association of Baptists for World Evangelism (ABWE). Join us as they explain why they said “Yes” to God’s call.

According to research, the average adult makes about 35,000 decisions every day. Some choices seem harmless, “What should I have for breakfast?” or “Do I want fries with that burger?” Other choices aren’t quite as simple – “Where should I go to college?” or “Should I marry that guy?” The truth is, none of us make decisions alone. We […]

The Expositor’s Greek Testament makes this interesting statement, “Most people associate Christianity with the command to love, and so they think that they know all about Christianity when they have understood its teaching in terms of their own concept of love. John (the apostle) found it necessary to explain clearly to his readers what he […]

Children always exhibit certain traits, mannerisms or characteristics that identify them in some way with their parents. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, a chip off the old block, or like father, like son are all clichés that are used to indicate the similarity between children and their Mom and Dad. There are […]

October 31 was Halloween. There were children and adults all over our country masquerading as something other than who they really are in order to fill their bags with candy. The Bible talks about those who masquerade as believers by looking like, sounding like and acting like something other than who they really are. Join […]

What does it mean to “love the world”? What is “worldliness”? What comes to mind when you picture a worldly person? Could it be a person dressed in a suit and tie sitting in church on a Sunday morning with an open Bible in his lap? What is it about love for the world that […]

We live in an uncertain world and as a result, life can be hard and at times very discouraging. So it goes without saying that everyone needs encouragement! The apostle John had just dished out some strong words to the church about the false teachers that were attempting to lead them away from the truth […]

An update of the church planting ministry of Tim and Barb Vermilyea in Quebec, Canada.

The Bible says very matter-of-factly in several places that when you come to know God, you can’t help but obey Him. It also says that if you claim to know God but do not obey Him, you’re a liar. That’s pretty strong language. In fact, that’s a “set in stone” truth that ought to motivate […]

God is light! Because He is light we are to follow Him and walk in that light. However, we all know that it is possible for one who knows Jesus, to at times choose to walk in darkness. Walking or living in darkness ruins our fellowship with God because darkness is sin. So here’s a […]

We live in uncertain times, don’t we? Political unrest, global conflict, family tension, racial discrimination, and personal anxiety have become common characteristics of the world in which we live. It feels as though there’s no standard, no absolutes, nothing that we can be absolutely sure of anymore. But despite the uncertainty of our lives, there […]

Why can’t we all just get along? Who hasn’t asked that question at one time or another? We typically utter those words when observing friends or family who are locked in a bitter disagreement that has gone on for months with no hope of resolution. At other times we ask the question when we are […]

Warren Wiersbe reminds us that, “… some activities are wrong because the Bible clearly condemns them … and other activities are right, because the Bible clearly commands them.” But how do we handle activities that are not clearly defined in the Bible as right or wrong? The Bible makes it clear that when the activity […]

Heritage is made up of people who are very different. Those differences include where we grew up geographically, how we were brought up, whether or not our parents were believers, the kind of school we attended, the kind of church in which we were raised, when we began a relationship with Jesus Christ, and the […]

We will complete our journey on the New Romans Road. What should your response be to what you are learning about these great salvation truths? How will the knowledge of these truths lead you to godliness? Your response must not be the result of guilt or a desire to gain favor with God but the […]

Would you ever think about riding a roller coaster without wearing the crash bar? Would you ever put your newborn baby in the back seat of your car without making sure he was tightly strapped into the car seat? Would you ever bungee jump without the rope? I hope not! Security is a basic human […]

The Bible is very clear that God chose those who would be saved before the creation of the world. He made that choice based solely on “His pleasure and will.” This aspect of our salvation is called election. The subject of election has been debated for centuries. It is usually avoided because it is difficult […]

Is it possible for a Christian not to sin? Is there any help or hope for the Christian when he is tempted to sin? Or is it a given or fact of life that a Christian will sin? Paul answers these questions and addresses the Christian and sinning in Romans 6:1-14. He tells the Roman […]

People have told me for years that I look and act just like my father. But for years, I could never see it. However, the older I get the more I realize that I these people were right. In fact, there seem to be more and more times that when I do certain things in […]
