stand with the persecuted church

A Live & Interactive Zoom Event

Highland, this Saturday morning we have the opportunity to go on a round-the-world trip and see how God is on the move in some of the hardest places on earth. This 90 minute, interactive Zoom call will feature the testimonies of persecuted believers in Africa, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, Asia and elsewhere, telling powerful stories of how people are coming to know Jesus even when their lives, families, and careers are at risk. We'll end the time praying live with some of the underground church leaders we've come to know in Myanmar. We particularly recommend this event to youth and teenagers who'd like to get an expanded vision of what God is doing around the world!

Sign up to lift up the name of Jesus in your life.

Creating a community of discipleship

Throughout this break, I want to charge us all to gather together with the purposes of praying together, studying together – that our love may abound for one another! Perhaps some of you could make a plan to do lunch together on Sunday afternoons. Families with young children, meet at our playground and pray together while the children play. Even still, perhaps some of us consider grabbing our coffee from the Highland Cafe’ once a week, meeting and ministering to those who come. Consider facilitating a book study this summer, independent of the Sunday school Sessions. Reach out to me to discuss. Or, what are your ideas? We must be intentional about growing in Christ together; it will not happen automatically. We must foster a community of discipleship, Highland.

Sunday, we continue through the Gospel of Matthew. It is my hope to cover what Jesus says about Fasting, Treasure & Worry. Taking our time to hover a magnifying glass over these matters will result in our maturity, Highland. Take the time to glance over our text for this upcoming Sunday; it’s Matthew 6:16-34.

David Klaus preaches Sunday.

Sunday’s service was one I will savor. A service that we, indeed, set our affections upon the face of Christ Jesus. How our love abounded for the name of the Lord, and for one another! Services like these can ONLY happen when we commit to staying together, studying together and serving together. Well done, Highland — way to go deeper.

So much feedback about the service has been offered! These after-talks led to David and I discussing forgiveness, which he talked about Sunday, as he led us in prayer. The end-result is that David has volunteered to preach this Sunday on forgiveness! We all look forward to hearing your expanded thoughts on forgiveness, David

“For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses” (Matthew 6:14-15).

As David referenced last Sunday, forgiveness is the topic next covered in the Sermon on the Mount. So, he’s falling in stride with our series on a topic that he’s excited to cover in a sermon. So, join us, as David preaches on the topic of forgiveness this Sunday. To listen to other sermons available, click here. However, last week’s service was not recorded since it was a prayer service. To listen to prior sermons, check out our audio page.

Last Sunday, we worshiped together singing “Every Praise”, “Where Can I Go That My Maker Won’t Be?”, “10,000 Reasons”, “His Mercy is More” & “The Lord’s Prayer.” In our sermon, we recapped our journey through Matthew 5, then transitioned into Matthew 6. This Sunday, we take on the text of the Lord’s Prayer, found in Matthew 6.

“Our Father in heaven,

hallowed be your name.

Your kingdom come,

your will be done,

on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread,

and forgive us our debts,

as we also have forgiven our debtors.

And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.”

This Sunday, we gather to worship and pray, Highland. In our series through The Gospel of Matthew, we will pray through the Lord’s prayer, together. Come, ready to worship! Let’s be prepared to think beyond our own circumstances, drawing our hearts to dwell upon the Kingdom of God! Let us know and take our rightful place as seekers of God! In the presence of the Lord, we are called, even commanded, to pray. To do so crucifies flesh, while, at the same time, promotes the glory of God and good of others – those we do not even know (but the Lord does), even our enemies! Let us, therefore assemble, as “House of Prayer” this Sunday. To listen to prior sermons, check out our audio page.

As we continue through our series, we will be reviewing our journey through Matthew Five, then turning the corner into Matthew Six. I hope to offer you a streamline-of-thought through what we’ve covered, then cover “Love Your Enemies" this Sunday.

“Here’s our text: “You have heard that it was said, You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect” (Matthew 5:43-49). To listen to prior sermons, check out our audio page.

This Sunday’s Text: Matthew 5:31—42

As we take another step through our journey of Matthew, I’m aiming to cover Divorce, Oaths, Retaliation & Loving our Enemies, possibly.  Wow! These passages continually convict and challenge me personally —“be holy as I am holy” — resonates through my own heart as I prep.

How I rejoice over the deliverance Jesus has afforded me from the depravity that once held residence within my heart! Now, how I cry out longingly for more of the Lord’s presence to permeate my soul. 

Reading through a book of prayer written by Spurgeon he wrote (and I am paraphrasing):  When first coming to know the Lord, we rejoiced over His mercy; now, in knowing Him, our hearts rejoice over His justice, His holiness, His righteousness.

The takeaway for me is that, when we first are being delivered by the Lord, we celebrate His mercy. Over time, in communing with Him, our hearts continue to enjoy His character altogether.  Certainly proves true in my life. How I long to be holy as He is holy.

How I long for us to all, Highland, to cherish sharing in the beauty of the heart of Christ.  Sinners, as we all are, we come to Him, poor in spirit, partaking of and rejoicing within the riches of Christ Jesus.  Looking forward to seeing you Sunday so we can do just that!

““You have heard that it was said to those of old, You shall not murder; and whoever murders will be liable to judgment.’ But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment; whoever insults his brother will be liable to the council; and whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be liable to the hell of fire. So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar and go. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. Come to terms quickly with your accuser while you are going with him to court, lest your accuser hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the guard, and you be put in prison. Truly, I say to you, you will never get out until you have paid the last penny. “You have heard that it was said, You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body be thrown into hell. And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body go into hell.””
— Matthew 5:21-30, ESV

Last Sunday’s Text — Matthew 5:21-30, ESV

Last Sunday’s sermon garnered a great deal of feedback! Thank each of you for your insight regarding our series through Matthew! I appreciate you taking the time to reach out and discuss Scripture with me.

In this portion of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus accentuates the severity of our sinful nature. Moving beneath our actions, He addresses the attitude of our sinful hearts. Hovering a magnifying glass over the Mosaic Law, Jesus peers into our hearts! Beneath the act of murder or adultery, are hearts that are fueled by anger and lust, to which Jesus points out as being offensive to the holy nature of God and deserving of hell.

It’s here, though, that we must recall how the Sermon on the Mount begins, Highland. Opening the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus says: “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” I offer that “Poor in Spirit” is Jesus’ description of a repentant heart.

As one who, under the weight of sin (in this case: anger or lust) encounters the holiness of God, those who repent come face-to-face with their own spiritual poverty. They acknowledge their helpless estate and their inability to overcome their sinful nature. In that same encounter, those who repent, while feeling the shame of their sin, and feeling the deep emptiness of their own spiritual poverty, turn their hearts toward Christ and receive salvation and renewal.

In this convicting moment (over anger or lust), instead of receiving judgment and criticism, those who repent receive mercy and forgiveness. Not only are those who repent forgiven, but heirs – “for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.” A heart that belongs to the Kingdom of heaven is a heart that is keenly aware of their spiritual poverty, rejoicing all the more in Christs’ riches in becoming a son or daughter of the most High God, with a humble heart.

In describing “poor in spirit” – Spurgeon borrows from a puritan who says: The person that is poor in spirit is a Christ-admirer; he has high thoughts of Christ, he sets a high value and appreciation on Christ, he hides himself in Christ’s wounds, he bathes himself in his blood, he wraps himself in his robe; he sees a spiritual famine at home, but he looks to Christ and he cries: ‘Lord, show me thyself’, and it suffices.

In summary, when consumed with anger or lust, those who hide themselves in Christ’s wounds, bathe themselves in Christ’s blood, wrap themselves in His robe - find a feast of mercy and forgiveness. Last week’s sermon is available online. To listen, check out our audio page.

he FORTIFIES us in our frailties

“Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God” (Romans 8:26-27).

The Lord proves faithful! Oh, may we continue to cast our concerns upon His enduring and gracious shoulders! Our family has experienced the provision of the Lord in such an abounding way recently – oh, how I rejoice!! All glory to His great name!

Confidently waiting on the Lord, Highland, results in our hearts being empowered by the strength of His Spirit. It’s tricky, because in our waiting, we often sharply feel our weaknesses, yet, when we entrust Him in the middle of our frailties, His strength is perfected in our weaknesses! Incredible!

Even in feeling our infirmities and weaknesses, as we hold fast to Him, the Holy Spirit’s strength overrides our frailties, even in the depths of our being! We then find a fortitude that’s not our own. We can press on in His will, realizing His purposes for us – especially through our darkest days!

Myself & Mr. Page

Nancy’s Father, Mr. Lynn Page, Has Passed Away

As I write about how the Lord fortifies us in our weaknesses, the Sheek family comes to mind. Nancy has lost her father, Mr. Lynn Page. Not only was he a man who loved and served Highland Community Church, he was a man who had a tremendous impact upon my life. Mr. Page was an actual conversationalist. He was a man that actually spoke his thoughts clearly and wanted to hear your thoughts about a matter. He paid attention to detail and, when presented with problems, he always wanted to work toward solutions!

Oh, how I loved him! My last conversation on the phone with him was one in which I was able to express my abounding appreciation for him! So thankful that the Lord afforded us that moment! Nancy, know that Highland is rallying around you and your family in love, prayer and in support right now. Call on us if you need us, please. Know that we love you and your family, Nancy.

Last Sunday, we walked through what Jesus means in describing that those who come to repentance are to be salt and light in this world. This quote offers a solid framework to recapture last week’s sermon:

“The glory of the gospel is when the church is absolutely different from the world, she invariably attracts it. It is then that the world is made to listen to her message, though it may hate it at first.”

– Martin Lloyd-Jones

Do Not Worry — Because He Cares!

I hope you are enjoying this wonderful weather! Our family had a bustling week – including selling a car, buying a car, then returning a car! It was a lemon! Not 24 hours after purchasing it, the car began to sputter while we were in the middle of the road! We had a 5 day return-policy – we returned it (It’s Tuesday — typing this update from the dealership as I am returning)! Whew! The search for a new-to-us car now continues. In the meantime, we continue to have our trusty ol’ 4Runner. Nearly 300,000 miles and still going strong! How faithful the Lord’s provision remains, especially through the unexpected turns of our lives! Cast your cares upon Him, Highland – He cares for you.

Last Sunday’s sermon is invaluable to me, personally. For many years, I have sought the Lord to fully understand repentance and how our relationship with a holy God actually intertwines. In studying for this series, especially last week, I have come away with a fresher and richer understanding of repentance. Becoming “poor in spirit” is the key ingredient. To listen, check out our audio page.

Casey, others, thank you for serving.

Highland cafe’ & Haircuts

The Highland Cafe continues to open our doors with a welcome from Jesus Christ and a warm cup of coffee. Each weekday morning from 8:30-11:30 offers you the chance to come and serve our neighbors, in honor of our Lord. You can also enjoy a cup of coffee, too! Come, serve and be served, all, in the name of Christ Jesus. Furthermore, snacks and coffee essentials, like cream and sugar, would be most appreciated.

Furthermore, at the cafe’, on February 10th, from 9am to 11am, Brenda Steele is generously offering haircuts to those who are in need of one. Thank you, Brenda! This event is reserved for those who have a need but not the means to get a professional cut. Depending on the turnout this will be a recurring event.

Weekly Update

Highland,

Walking in last Saturday to see Kingdom Sports in action stopped me dead in my tracks. I was astonished! To see the kids playing basketball in our new home, with the stands filled with family supporting them – what a sight! To see members of the Highland Tribe coming together to serve these kiddos – oh, I was just moved! Coaches, volunteers, supporters – I really appreciate you! The Lord’s name is being honored as we love our neighbors in such a devoted manner! Well done, Highland.

As I continue to remain before the Lord, I remain between two matters for the sermon this Sunday. Be praying for me as I ask the Lord to reveal His plans regarding the direction we should take. As I continue to ask the Lord for direction, He always makes known to me His plans! Always!! So, I am confident in Him; I just want to listen attentively and follow His lead. Pray that I get myself out of the way, that He may increase. Sermons in this series are available on our audio page.
