About Heritage Hill Sermons

Welcome to the sermon podcast of Heritage Hill Baptist Church, a new church being planted in the Aubrey, Texas area. We believe God’s Word should be central to the life of the church. During this planting season, we’re sharing sermons from our planting pastor, Aaron Boswell, to give you a sense of the biblical, expositional preaching that will shape Heritage Hill. As we begin gathering regularly, this will become the home for our weekly sermons.

   The Promise Announced

   The Promise: Good News of Great Joy Luke 2:8–14 This sermon was originally preached by Pastor Aaron Boswell at The Trails Church in Winnipeg, Manitoba, as part of The Promise, a Christmas series tracing the arrival of Jesus as the fulfillment of God’s promises throughout Scripture. In this sermon, Pastor Aaron walks through the angels’ announcement to the shepherds in Luke 2:8–14 and considers why heaven responds to the arrival of Jesus with an announcement of “good news of great joy.” God sends this announcement to an unlikely audience: ordinary shepherds watching their flocks outside Bethlehem. And the news they receive is not simply that a baby has been born, but that a Savior, Christ, and Lord has come. Each of those titles helps us understand who Jesus is and why His birth is such good news. He is the Savior who has come to rescue His people, the promised Christ Israel had been waiting for, and the Lord who deserves our worship and allegiance. And when heaven announces this news, the angels respond with worship: “Glory to God in the highest.” Luke 2:8–14 shows us that the good news of Jesus moves us in two directions: upward in worship and outward in witness. The news that filled heaven with praise is the same news Christians have been entrusted to enjoy and share. Good news of great joy is meant to be enjoyed—and shared.

   The Promise Given

   The Promise: Every Promise Finds Its Yes in Jesus Luke 1:26–38 This sermon was originally preached by Pastor Aaron Boswell at The Trails Church in Winnipeg, Manitoba, as the first message in The Promise, a Christmas series tracing the arrival of Jesus as the fulfillment of God’s promises throughout Scripture. In this sermon, Pastor Aaron walks through the angel Gabriel’s announcement to Mary in Luke 1:26–38 and shows that this quiet moment in Nazareth is actually a turning point in the whole story of Scripture. A quiet town. An unexpected young woman. A messenger from God. And the announcement that the long-promised Messiah is finally coming. The promises God made to Abraham, to David, and through the prophets all point forward to Jesus. The child Mary will bear is the promised King whose kingdom will never end. Every promise finds its “yes” in Him. And Mary’s response shows us what faith looks like when we encounter the promises and purposes of God: “Let it be to me according to your word.” She doesn’t know every detail of what lies ahead. But she trusts the God who does. Luke 1:26–38 invites us to see Christmas as far more than an isolated moment in a manger. It is the arrival of the One toward whom the whole story has been moving—and it calls us to respond to God with the same humble trust. Faith doesn’t require knowing all the details. It means trusting the One who does.

   The Servant, the Sermon, the Stone, and the Seed

   When Egypt Creeps Back Into Your Heart Acts 6:8–8:3 This sermon was originally preached by Pastor Aaron Boswell at The Trails Church in Winnipeg, Manitoba, as part of a verse-by-verse series through the book of Acts. In this sermon, Pastor Aaron walks through Stephen’s bold witness before the Sanhedrin, his retelling of Israel’s history, and the first Christian martyrdom recorded in Acts. Stephen’s sermon exposes a pattern running throughout Israel’s story: God remains faithful, while His people repeatedly turn their hearts back toward Egypt. They return to old sins, old idols, and self-rule rather than submitting themselves to God. And Stephen warns the religious leaders that they are repeating the same pattern—resisting God’s Word and ultimately rejecting Jesus. But Stephen’s own life gives us a very different picture. Though he wasn’t an apostle, he was an ordinary believer filled with the Holy Spirit, shaped by Scripture, courageous in his witness, and committed to Jesus to the very end. Acts 6:8–8:3 therefore confronts us with an important question: Where is “Egypt” still gaining ground in our hearts? This passage calls us away from stiff-necked resistance and back toward soft hearts that receive God’s Word, repent quickly, treasure Jesus above everything, and depend upon the Holy Spirit for ordinary, courageous faithfulness. Where might God be calling you to stop looking back toward Egypt and faithfully follow Jesus instead?

   Widows, Servant Leaders, and Unlikely Converts

   Acts 6 This sermon was originally preached by Pastor Aaron Boswell at The Trails Church in Winnipeg, Manitoba, as part of a verse-by-verse series through the book of Acts. In this sermon, Pastor Aaron walks through Acts 6 and asks: What do you do when the needs around you are bigger than your capacity? As the early church rapidly grew, so did its needs. Widows were being unintentionally overlooked, tension was developing, and the unity of the church was threatened. But the apostles didn’t ignore the problem or assume they simply needed to work harder. They recognized their limitations, involved the whole church, and raised up Spirit-filled servants to meet the needs among them. Acts 6 reminds us that the church doesn’t flourish when a few people do everything. It flourishes when the whole church takes responsibility for caring for one another and uses the gifts God has given them. And the result is striking: needs are met, unity is protected, the apostles remain devoted to prayer and the ministry of the Word, and the Word of God continues to increase and disciples multiply. This passage challenges us to notice the needs and people around us, acknowledge our own limitations, and consider how God might use each of us for the good of His church and the advance of the gospel. Where might God be calling you to step in and serve?

   Do You Value Jesus?

   This sermon was originally preached by Pastor Aaron Boswell at The Trails Church in Winnipeg, Manitoba, as part of a verse-by-verse series through the book of Acts. In this sermon, Pastor Aaron walks through Acts 5:12–42 and asks a simple but searching question: What do you value most? The apostles are arrested, threatened, and beaten for continuing to proclaim Jesus—and yet they leave rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer for His name. How could they respond like that? Acts shows us that believing in Jesus had completely reordered what these early Christians valued. They devoted themselves to God’s Word, fellowship, prayer, and one another. They generously opened their homes and possessions to meet the needs around them. And now, when following Jesus threatened their reputation, security, comfort, and safety, they continued to obey. Jesus had become more valuable to them than everything they could lose. This passage challenges us to consider what we treasure and what happens when following Jesus comes into conflict with our comfort, reputation, relationships, opportunities, or security. Do we treasure Jesus above everything else?

   Boldness Before The Council - Acts 4:5-22

   In this sermon from Acts 4:5–22, Aaron looks at Peter and John standing before the most powerful religious leaders in Israel and being commanded to stop speaking about Jesus. Instead of backing down, they boldly proclaim that salvation is found in Christ alone and offer grace to the very men who had opposed Him. When they are threatened and told to remain silent, their answer is simple: they cannot stop speaking about what they have seen and heard. But their courage did not come from personality, confidence, or natural strength. It came from the Holy Spirit and from having been with Jesus. As we share these earlier sermons during the planting season of Heritage Hill, our hope is that they help shape the kind of church we pray to become: a people who know Jesus deeply, depend on His Spirit, and speak about Him with humility, clarity, and courage. Two questions to consider: 1) Where are you tempted to stay quiet about Jesus because of fear or pressure? 2) What would it look like for the people around you to recognize that you have been with Jesus? Two ways to pray: 1) Ask the Holy Spirit to give you courage to speak about Jesus with both boldness and love. 2) Pray that Heritage Hill would be known as a church filled with people who have been with Jesus and are unashamed to make Him known.

   When God Interrupts Your Plans - Acts 3:1-4:4

   In this sermon from Acts 3:1–4:4, Aaron looks at what happens when an ordinary day becomes an unexpected opportunity for the gospel. Peter and John are simply on their way to pray when God interrupts their plans. A man is healed, Jesus is proclaimed, opposition begins to rise, and thousands hear the good news. This passage reminds us that God often works through the moments we didn’t schedule. The interruptions, conversations, and needs right in front of us may be opportunities to love people, speak about Jesus, and trust the Spirit to work through ordinary obedience. As we share these earlier sermons during the planting season of Heritage Hill, our hope is that they help shape the kind of church we pray to become: attentive to the people around us, dependent on the Spirit, and ready to see everyday moments as opportunities for the mission of Jesus. Two questions to consider: 1) How do you normally respond when your plans are interrupted? 2) Are you paying attention to the people and opportunities God may be placing right in front of you? Two ways to pray: 1) Ask God to make you attentive and willing when He redirects your plans. 2) Pray that Heritage Hill would be a church of ordinary people ready to follow Jesus wherever He opens a door.

   Ingredients of A Healthy Church - Acts 2:42-47

   In this sermon from Acts 2:42–47, Aaron looks at the first church in Jerusalem and asks a simple question: what marks a healthy church? Luke gives us a beautiful picture of a church devoted to the apostles’ teaching, fellowship, the breaking of bread, and prayer. Their life together was marked by generosity, worship, hospitality, joy, and a shared commitment to Jesus and one another. This passage reminds us that a healthy church is about far more than a Sunday gathering. It is a people shaped by God’s Word, committed to one another, devoted to prayer, sharing life together, and living with open hands for the sake of others. As we share these earlier sermons during the planting season of Heritage Hill, this passage captures much of what we pray will mark our church: deep roots in Scripture, genuine life together, joyful generosity, persistent prayer, and a shared desire to make Jesus known. Two questions to consider: 1) Am I approaching church primarily as something I attend, or as a people I am committed to? 2) Which of these marks of the early church—God’s Word, fellowship, prayer, generosity, hospitality, or worship—most needs to grow in my own life? Two ways to pray: 1) Ask God to make you deeply devoted to His Word and to the people He has placed around you. 2) Pray that Heritage Hill would become a healthy, joyful, generous church where people are known, loved, challenged, and equipped to follow Jesus together.

   The Birth of Jesus' Church

   In this sermon from Acts 2, Aaron looks at one of the great turning points in the story of redemption: the coming of the Holy Spirit and the birth of the New Testament Church. After Jesus’ disciples waited for the promise He had made, the Spirit comes in power. God’s people are filled with His presence, empowered for His mission, and sent out with the good news of Jesus. Acts 2 is more than a fascinating moment in church history. For every Christian, this is part of our story. The same risen Jesus is still building His Church, the same gospel is still being proclaimed, and the same Spirit empowers God’s people to live as His witnesses. As we share these earlier sermons during the planting season of Heritage Hill, our hope is that they give you a window into the kind of church we pray to become: dependent upon the Holy Spirit, serious about the mission of Jesus, and committed to making the gospel known in the ordinary places God has put us. Two questions to consider: 1) Do you see the ordinary places God has put you—your neighborhood, workplace, school, and daily routines—as places where He has sent you? 2) Are you depending on the Spirit’s power in everyday life, or simply trying to follow Jesus in your own strength? Two ways to pray: 1) Ask God to empower you by His Spirit to speak about Jesus boldly and love the people around you faithfully. 2) Pray that Heritage Hill would be a church that carries the good news of Jesus into homes, neighborhoods, workplaces, and communities throughout our area.

    Waiting For Jesus - Acts 1:12–26

    In this sermon from Acts 1:12–26, Aaron looks at what the early church did while they waited for Jesus to fulfill His promise. Waiting is rarely easy. Sometimes we know when the waiting will end; other times, we don’t. But this passage shows us that waiting on God is not passive. As the disciples wait, they obey Jesus, devote themselves to prayer, turn to God’s Word, and trust Jesus to continue leading His Church. Even in the replacing of Judas with Matthias, we see that the risen Jesus has not abandoned His people. He continues to rule, guide, and accomplish His purposes. As we share these earlier sermons during the planting season of Heritage Hill, our hope is that they give you a window into the kind of church we pray to become: shaped by God’s Word, devoted to prayer, obedient to Jesus, and confident that He is leading His people. Two questions to consider: 1) Am I faithful in the ordinary, unseen areas of obedience—or only when something feels significant? 2) Do seasons of waiting drive me deeper into God’s Word and prayer, or simply toward distraction? Two ways to pray: 1) Ask God for a heart that trusts and obeys Him even when you cannot see what He is doing. 2) Pray that Heritage Hill would become a Word-driven, prayer-saturated church that trusts Jesus to lead His people.

    How Important is the Ascension? Acts 1:9-11

    In this sermon from Acts 1:9–11, Aaron considers a part of the gospel story Christians can sometimes overlook: the Ascension of Jesus. The Ascension is far more than the moment Jesus leaves the disciples. It reminds us that His sacrifice has been accepted, He is reigning now as King, He has poured out His Spirit to empower His people, and He will one day return in glory. As we share these earlier sermons during the planting season of Heritage Hill, our hope is that they give you a window into the kind of preaching we pray will shape our church: rooted in Scripture, centered on Christ, and aimed at helping ordinary Christians live faithfully in light of what is true about Jesus. Two questions to consider: 1) How does the Ascension of Jesus give you courage when following Him is difficult? 2) Where do you need to rest in the reality that Jesus is reigning right now? Two ways to pray: 1) Ask God to strengthen your faith to live with courage under the reign of Christ. 2) Ask Him to deepen your hope as you look forward to the return of Jesus.

    The Mission Of The Church - Acts 1:1-8

    In this sermon, originally preached as the beginning of a series through Acts, Aaron reflects on the story of the local church while taking us back to the beginning of the Church itself. Acts starts with a small group of believers and traces the spread of the gospel as the risen Jesus continues His work through His Spirit-empowered people. It reminds us that the mission Jesus gave His Church has not changed: we are called to follow Him, bear witness to Him, and make Him known wherever He has placed us. As we share these earlier sermons during the planting season of Heritage Hill, our prayer is that they give you a glimpse of the kind of preaching and convictions we hope will shape our church: confidence in God’s Word, dependence on the Holy Spirit, and a desire to see ordinary Christians live faithfully on mission. Two questions to consider: 1) Where are you relying on your own strength rather than the Spirit’s power? 2) Who has God placed around you who needs to hear the good news of Jesus? And two things to pray: 1) Pray for boldness to live and speak as a witness of the risen Christ. 2) Pray that God would continue raising up men and women who are willing to be sent for the sake of the gospel.
