spiritual warfare series
Highland,
Robert Singleton’s sermon was such an invigorating charge to pray with confidence. May we be found entrusting the Lord, while we cherish God’s Word, as we navigate our lives. Robert, thank you for speaking into the life of Highland in a way that points us toward the life-giving Word of God. His sermon is available on our website; it can be found on our audio page.
This upcoming Sunday, I will be preaching. We will continue to work through our Spiritual Warfare Series. So far, we have uncovered Satan’s plan of attack against believers in Christ Jesus.
With the help of the Klaus family, we have heard about attacks on Christians that are in real-time and how victory is found in the authority of the name of Jesus. These victories result in our adulation of the name of Jesus. Additionally, however, there are also spiritual attacks that we must endure, which produces a resilience and a discipline in us, as we walk with Christ.
Robert directed us as to how to implement a faithfulness that helps us endure day to day. He highlighted the fact that, by way of obedience to God’s Word, the Holy Spirit is producing a confident trust within us, as we walk with our Lord in prayer.
As a reminder, here are our goals for this series:
To define Spiritual Warfare Biblically
To better understand the power and the work of the Holy Spirit in the life of the repentant-sinner
To understand our enemy, the devil, creating Biblical tactics to stand firm against our enemy.
As we review our goals, it is evident that the Holy Spirit is highlighting these matters through the preaching of God’s Word. Now, let us continue to let these truths be accentuated in our hearts in our walk with the Lord. Highland, I charge you: endure with an irrepressible obedience to God’s Word. No matter how dark or scary circumstances become, may we be found walking in the light of His presence – it’s in His presence that we find our freedom, our refuge.
Highland cafe update
Highland, we must acknowledge and celebrate those who are serving in the Highland Cafe’. We have such dedicated folks who desire to minister to those who travel our sidewalks. We now have leaders who are coming and fostering prayer and outreach, in the love of Christ Jesus! Our cafe, literally, touches our sidewalks — our byway (Luke 14:21)! Many stop in for coffee and water, encountering the mercy of our heavenly Father through ministry and prayer. Thanks to all who are serving in this front-line ministry! Let’s pray that sinners to come to repentance, knowing salvation in the name of Jesus! Also, volunteers are welcome to come and serve. Reach out to us for more info!
A Little Family Getaway
Our family snuck away in the middle of the week to Nashville. We caught an unforgettable concert! We saw Ben Rector & Cody Fry. Two singer/songwriters our entire family enjoys. It was also the first time our kiddos have seen Nashville – a must-see for anyone who appreciates music and big cities. We are now back in Columbus and look forward to seeing everyone Sunday.
