hope for highland
Hope amid hopelessness is found only in Jesus. The church exists to celebrate our eternal hope in Christ, while declaring His Lordship to a hopeless world. Highland, though the hopelessness often seems vast, our hope found in Christ will endure through every hurt and every disappointment. You may notice this sign along 2nd Avenue capturing who we are; declaring hope in Christ to a hopeless world. Highland, I love you. I am grateful to share in what the Lord has done for us – what He continues to do for us! May we continue to be a people marked by an abounding gratitude because we have tasted of the eternal hope found in Christ Jesus! May Highland (may the world) experience this hope!

waves of restfulness
Our family got the chance to unwind a bit last weekend. We enjoyed some time at the beach together, with Carrie’s family. The storm really moved out of our region on Thursday, revealing sunny conditions in Panama City. To those who led us last Sunday, thank you! I appreciate the opportunity to catch my breath and to make some memories with my family. It would not be possible without you – thank you all for ALL you do!
Every good trip, though, ends with getting home. I am so thrilled to be back with you this Sunday. I look forward to seeing you, as we gather to celebrate the only good news we will ever hear – the Gospel of Jesus Christ! Join us.
As I return this Sunday, we pick back up with our Spiritual Warfare Series. We will now begin to bring this series in for a landing. As I continue to seek the Lord's face for direction as to how to lead us through the landing, I invite you to pray along with me. As plans are being made, we will start with a quick-stop in James this Sunday, then travel to Hebrews together. In so doing, we will address how Satan’s attack always wants to warp our communion with the Lord, our unity with one another in an effort to isolate us. Looking forward to continuing this journey through Scripture with you!
