Heartland Community Church
The smallest things often make the biggest difference: a shifting foundation can bring down a house, a small spark can ignite a huge fire, a single act of kindness can change a life, or a single word can change someone’s eternity. We place a lot of emphasis on the big things, but they all start with little steps. Join us as we look at the small, seemingly insignificant, things Jesus did that make all the difference in our lives today.
Welcome to Heartland!
We're so glad you joined us for worship this morning! We hope you feel welcome, at home, and encounter God in a meaningful way. If you're a guest, please take a moment to fill out a Connection Card and then drop it in the offering plate or leave it at the Welcome Center. We hope the music inspires you, the message encourages and challenges you, and our people make you feel at home! Thanks for joining us this morning!
Sermon Notes & Scripture
Small Things, Big Difference
Everything Starts with a Firm Foundation
Matt Schaffner
Luke 2:41-52 NLT
Everyone is building their life on something- success, money, power, family, faith- and that something is what we really worship.
Jesus grew up in a home built on faith, but that doesn't mean Mary & Joseph were perfect parents!
Jesus' first recorded action in the gospels is to engage people with and in Scripture.
Jesus knew His mission and purpose and was focused on seeing it achieved.
The only foundation worth building our life on is Jesus and the only way we know Jesus is His Word.
“The chains of habit are too weak to be felt until they are too strong to be broken.”
― Samuel Johnson
Monday is coming!
What happens Sunday is only as meaningful as what you do with it the rest of the week. A firm foundation for your life only comes from God's Word- make regular Bible reading a habit in your life this year! Below is a great reading plan for the next two weeks that will walk you through Mark & Colossians & help start a new habit that will be a firm foundation for your 2019!
