For over 30 years, Heartlight has shared articles to help people live for Jesus in everyday life. While we are no longer publishing new articles, this enduring collection features relevant pieces throughout the year to encourage faith, offer biblical perspective, and speak to real-world joys and struggles.

Aligning Our Plans with God's Purposes

Demetrius Collins and Phil Ware lead us in virtual worship through words and music using YouTube videos and challenging us to re-align ourselves with God's purposes for us.

The year is still new, but the freshness feels a bit wilted with the ongoing pandemic and the political violence, but we can find hope and direction in God's promises!

Made New, Inside Out

Demetrius Collins and Phil Ware lead us in virtual worship through words and music using YouTube videos and inviting us to continually be made new from the inside out.

Not only can we begin the New Year as a fresh start, but we can also be made new — from the inside out — each day as we follow Jesus!

How Do You Grasp the Mystery?

Phil Ware challenges us to enter the mystery of the conception and birth of Jesus the Messiah with Mary and find ourselves caught up in the story of Jesus with her.

The Holy Spirit gives birth to Lord in the heart of each new Christian and longs to bring that new follower of Christ to full maturity in Jesus.

What is CORE: Finishing

Phil Ware brings his series on 'What is CORE!' to a close, giving us a short summary to help us remember these three CORE passages and what they teach and call on us to do.

I remain convicted that these passages give us the CORE of what we must believe and practice as Jesus' disciples.

Sharing Life with Christ

James Nored and Phil Ware share in video and word how we can share in the life of Jesus in our lives today.

Jesus is not only our Savior and Lord, but he is also the model on whom we are to build our lives!

Life to Our Mortal Bodies

James Nored and Phil Ware emphasize the importance of the Holy Spirit in our resurrection from the dead.

Jesus wasn't just raised from the dead; he is also now alive in us through the Holy Spirit!

A New Heart

James Nored and Phil Ware remind us of Jesus' Sermon on the Mount and that he was not giving us a list of do's and don't do's, but was calling us to put into practice the way of God from the heart.

Jesus isn't calling us to keep a list of do's and don'ts; he is challenging us to obey the Father from our hearts, in love.

One Defining Note

Phil Ware and James Nored remind us that the core of our faith is Jesus, that Christ is our defining note around whom all of us must tune our lives and recognize the grace of being called and transformed to be like him.

Do we realize the grace of getting to tune our lives to Jesus?

Sowing to the Spirit: Finding Power from on High

Phil Ware reminds us that God wants us to know that we have the Holy Spirit present and at work with power in our lives!

We can trust God's promises that the Spirit is at work in us!

Forgiveness and Power

Phil Ware reminds us that God can make us better after we have been broken and use us to do his work in the Kingdom because of two things: forgiveness we receive in Jesus through baptism and the power of the Holy Spirit.

Can I actually be better?

In the Power of the Spirit

Phil Ware reminds us that by focusing on Jesus and our need for Jesus to be the transforming presence in our lives the Holy Spirit transforms and conforms us to Jesus with increasing likeness.

We live our lives where we place our focus!

Valuing Women of Faith and Courage

Phil Ware and Demetrius Collins invite us to worship God and celebrate the work of the Holy Spirit as we are transformed to be more like our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Happy Mother's Day! Today is Mother's Day in many part of the world, so let's celebrate women of faith and courage who have blessed our lives and empowered the work of God in our world.

Waiting in Expectation

Phil Ware and Demetrius Collins invite us to worship God and celebrate the work of the Holy Spirit as we are transformed to be more like our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

We can approach each day with hope and expectation because of God's faithfulness.

Dealing with the Anger Inside

Phil Ware and Demetrius Collins invite us to worship God and celebrate the work of the Holy Spirit as we are transformed to be more like our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

We are ToGather: People from around the world, gathered virtually, to honor God as we are reshaped by his Spirit to do the work of Jesus in our broken world.

Until Christ Is Formed in You

Phil Ware and Demetrius Collins invite us to worship God and celebrate the work of the Holy Spirit as we are transformed to be more like our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

We are gathered to honor and praise God and to be reshaped by his Spirit so we can do the work of Jesus in the world.

The Power Behind Our Story

Phil Ware and James Nored remind us that the center of our faith is Jesus' resurrection and that the Lord's resurrection from the grave has changed everything.

Jesus walked triumphantly out of the tomb and transformed the lives of defeated and afraid friends into world-changing witnesses!

Grace for the Worst of Us... Even Me!

James Nored and Phil Ware remind us that not only is God's grace available in his love and mercy but also that mercy and grace is available to all, even the worst of sinners, like you and me!

It took several years for him to dig out of the hole he made for himself with his lack of appreciation for grace and his own need of it.

In the Hands of the Potter

Tom Norvell reminds us what it means to be in the hands of the potter!

God is the potter. He created us, taking us from an idea to what He imagined we could be, then shaping us into something beautiful.

You’re Not Getting Older, You’re Getting Closer!

At the beginning of the New Year, and the beginning of his new year of living, Phil Ware challenges us to be more like Jesus, especially in the way he loves people.

Why feel this kind of urgency? Why not think about retirement and enjoying my... ?

Teach Us to Pray 10: Needing Grace

Phil Ware, with Chad Higgins, reminds us of the power of the simple words 'Forgive us our debts' and give us a daily practice to emphasize the power of these words.

Jesus provided us the few simple words we need to return us to that place of righteousness in the eyes of our Father: “Forgive us our debts.”
