People of Prayer
Highland, thank you for all of the calls, comments and messages this week regarding our new series through Daniel! They have been so meaningful to me! During one of the calls, someone noted how on Sunday that the testimonies of Darlene, David and Gene all pointed to the transforming power of the Holy Spirit being evident! It’s exciting to highlight this because that was the essence of Sunday’s sermon – how Daniel yields his heart to receive the transforming power of God’s Spirit! We then closed our service by asking for more of God’s Spirit, which is one, not of fear, but of power, love and self-control!
Drawing From Daniel Recap
“But Daniel resolved that he would not defile himself with the king’s food, or with the wine that he drank. Therefore he asked the chief of the eunuchs to allow him not to defile himself. And God gave Daniel favor and compassion in the sight of the chief of the eunuchs…” (Daniel 1:8—9).
It is here that we see Daniel find hope in the holiness of God. Daniel, being in a hopeless state, draws the line at defiling His Lord’s holy name. Is this where we draw our line, Highland? When facing bleak situations, do we find our hope solely in honoring the holy name of our almighty God? May we be a people marked by the holiness of God.
Highland, as we yield our hearts to honor our Lord, He will sustain us by way of His Holy Spirit – conquering that spirit of fear, establishing our hearts with power, love and self-control – all as a result of His commanding presence! To listen to the most recent sermon, click here.

Living Water Network
Dear friends,
Myanmar is at the bleeding edge of global missions. While a brutal military regime and widespread economic collapse continue to create unimaginable suffering for millions of people, the kingdom of God is also on the move: brave kingdom pioneers are sacrificially serving their communities, lives are being saved, miracles are taking place, and hearts are opening to the good news of Jesus the Prince of Peace.
On Monday the 18th at 8pm Eastern / 5pm Pacific, join the leadership of the Living Water Network for a live, interactive situation update. A summary of Myanmar's national crisis will be interwoven with hopeful stories of kingdom pioneers proclaiming and demonstrating the gospel through creative initiatives in relief work, education, healthcare, peacebuilding, media, and IT. You will learn how the Living Water Network supports these leaders in their work, and how you can be a part of these cutting edge missional initiatives as well. Bring your questions! There will be ample time for questions and discussion.

Kim and Nancy Sheek have so graciously agreed to host an eight-week series this fall for us at their home. This study that’s centered on marriage will be through a book called, “Love & War”, by John and Staci Eldredge. We will meet Wednesday evenings, starting September 27th. (*please note: childcare will not be available). This time together will be so meaningful for those who are married. Kim and Nancy will be able to offer us so much to help us grow in our relationship with Christ and our spouses! I want to strongly encourage all of our married couples to make every effort to attend. If you are interested in attending, please register by clicking the button below.
