But If Not | Philippians 1:12–30 | Dr. Paul Sloan (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Writing from prison, Paul declares that whether he lives or dies, Christ will be magnified. Dr. Paul Sloan examines the remarkable faith behind those words and the biblical truth captured in the phrase “but if not”: God is able to rescue his people from suffering, but faithfulness does not depend on receiving that rescue. Even when affliction remains, Christ remains present, and believers are called to live lives worthy of the gospel. For more messages from Heights Church, subscribe and share.
Clothe Yourself with Christ | Romans 13:8–14 | Dr. Paul Sloan (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The night is passing away, and the day has dawned. In Romans 13:8–14, Dr. Paul Sloan examines Paul’s call to love our neighbors, leave behind the works of darkness, and “put on the Lord Jesus Christ.” The gospel brings forgiveness from condemnation, but it also transforms believers through the Spirit, enabling us to live according to the new reality Christ has created.

Overcome Evil with Good | Romans 12:9–21 | Dr. Paul Sloan (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Romans 12:9–21 calls Christians to genuine love, mutual affection, patience, hospitality, forgiveness, and peace—even toward those who oppose them.

Because the Spirit of Christ is genuinely at work within his people, Paul expects Christians not merely to understand this way
Living Sacrifices: A Life Transformed in God’s Presence | Romans 12:1–8 | Dr. Paul Sloan (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In Romans 12, Paul calls believers to present themselves as “living sacrifices” and to be transformed by the renewing of their minds. Dr. Paul Sloan explores the biblical imagery behind sacrifice as something brought into God’s sacred presence and considers what it means to live every part of life before Him. As Christ reshapes the way we think, He also changes the way we see and treat the people around us—not as competitors or as people valuable only for what they can offer, but as members of o
What Really Defiles Us? | Matthew 15:10–20 | Dr. Paul Sloan (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In Matthew 15, Jesus’ dispute with the Pharisees over ritual purity becomes a lesson about the much deeper problem of the human heart. Dr. Paul Sloan explains the distinction between ritual and moral defilement, Jesus’ careful handling of the Torah, and why the sins Jesus names ultimately enslave individuals and tear apart communities. Yet Christ does more than reveal God’s standard: he gives his Spirit to renew our hearts and enable us to walk in newness of life. For more messages from Heights
