To all who took part in our VBS, thank you! From those who prepared meals, to those who prepared lessons, I appreciate your hard work and sacrifice. Giving God's Word to our children is vital! Your execution in doing that last week was second to none. I deeply appreciate you loving our children, in honor of our Lord.
Grateful for you,
Rob
We got off to a great start yesterday. VBS continues today at Highland, at 9:30am. Join us!
Highland, let us maintain a grateful sense of awe over our Lord. He secures us.
Part of my devotion today comes from Psalm 30. In verse 7, it says: “Lord, when you showed your favor, you made me stand like a strong mountain; when you hid your face, I was terrified” (HCSB).
By way of His Word, we know that God draws near to the humble.
Highland, I pray over us: “Lord, keep us humble, hungering and thirsting for righteousness, found in Christ, alone. Allow us to remain in awe of your great name, which is our security and our salvation.”
I love you.

Highland Family,
I wanted to give you an overview of next month’s preaching schedule for the month of July. Our church's vision is summed in two statements:
1. Bring the Body of Christ together on Biblical ground
2. Give the Gospel to the poor
The Lord continues to fulfill His purposes by way of our little church, which, I hope, makes a huge impact for the Kingdom of God. All that to say, we have a full rotation of churches coming to serve next month in so many ways! I hope to be able to keep you apprised of all that is happening. So, let’s start here. Our sermon schedule is as follows throughout the month of July:
On July 1st, Chris Dubose will preaching. Chris’ love for God’s Word is something I cherish! He and his family are such a rich part of the Highland family! Though they are planting, having him come preach is like having them come home. So, welcome them with love and care, please. Our family will be attending St. Andrews to be part of their service, as they gear up to come to Highland later in July. They will be with us July 15th-July 18th. Strong Start Back To School Program, alongside a basketball tournament, will be taking place Sunday, July 15th, through Tuesday, July 17th, from 4pm-6pm each evening at Highland. Then, on the last night, Wednesday, July 18th, we will all load up and leave Highland to go to St. Andrews for a last night bash/cookout. It will be a blast! All are welcome to attend and we will certainly need help from you with the event. Contact me if you are able and willing.
On July 8th, Drew Nelson will be preaching. He is coming as part of the Mission Meal team with CrossPointe. We are so thankful to have such a devoted relationship with CrossPointe! Our family will be at Highland for this service, and I am excited to hear Drew take the pulpit.
On July 15th, St. Andrews will be with us. Mathes Ballard, who is their Youth Pastor, will be taking the pulpit. Mathes does such a great job of serving us the Word of God from an honest and humble heart. I look forward to being able to be part of this service as well.
On July 22nd, our family will be away. I turn 40 on July 24th. Carrie has planned a trip for us. So, we will be away - in Utah! Fishing, whitewater rafting, flying! Wow! I cannot wait!!! Ronnie Peterson will be preaching in my absence. He is a Church Planter. He pastors Overcome Ministries. Ronnie has such a strong grip on God’s Word, I can rest knowing you are in good hands.
On July 29th, I will be back in the saddle again. Our family will be back, settling in and gearing up for another school year. I will be preaching as the Lord leads.
I love you. It is one of my greatest joys to walk alongside you; to walk in the Light with you.
- Rob
Highland,
I want to thank Kwame for taking the time to prepare and preach a sermon centered on our motivation to worship. He preached while CrossPointe was with us for Mission Meals and while I was away, taking part in the joint-service with Rock and Grace. His sermon can be found under our sermon page.
Tomorrow, we will all be back together. We will plan to go through our next installment in our series on "Worry, Worship and The Word of God: Not Being Enough." We will also be before in the Lord, in corporate worship and prayer.
I look forward to seeing you and what the Lord has for us all.
I love you all so much.
- Rob
The joint-effort of Rock, Grace and Highland ministering to our children was such a joyous success! Thank you to all who took part in helping love our little ones, in honor of our Lord.
This Sunday, Carrie, myself and all families who took part in this VBS Camp will be part of a joint service. That service will be held at Rock, at 11am. A lunch will follow.
At Highland, Billy will lead worship and CrossPointe will be with us for Mission Meals. Kwame, from CrossPointe, will be taking the pulpit at Highland. Thanks, Kwame - and CrossPointe!
Seeing the church work hand in hand is so exciting! When we’re unified, God is glorified.
I love you.
- Rob
