‘Saved By His Life’

Just a few Sundays ago, Darrick and I had coffee. He had never before asked to meet with me. He wanted to know if the Lord could save someone like him. In response, I read to him: “For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life” (Romans 5:10).

Highland, as he asked me this question, he was tense. When I read this passage to him, I watched the peace of God wash over him. His face beamed with joy. I will never forget that look dawn upon his face! We, together, celebrated salvation in the name of Jesus — who saves repentant sinners!

Highland, well done! Way to set up an outpost for the Kingdom of God amid the streets of North Highland. We maintain our resolve, holding our position in the light of Christ, that all who walk in darkness might see the marvelous light of Christ Jesus and come running!

10/22/79-11/12/2025

The streets of North Highland lost a dear neighbor and friend on Wednesday.

I had the privilege of knowing Darrick for the last several years of his life. I (along with many of you) got to watch God transform Darrick before our very eyes- from once walking in darkness to walking in the light. I often told him I could see this light in his eyes! He radiated joy since coming to Christ.

He told me one day in the Highland cafe, where he so faithfully served our church, that he felt that God had given him many opportunities to come to Him. It wasn’t until he had a medical complication and lost his foot that He finally surrendered his life to Christ. I’ll never forget him looking up, smiling, and saying “Better to go into Heaven with one foot than with two feet into hell!”

Highland, may God give us wisdom, as he did to Darrick, to “number our days” and know what is truly important in the eyes of the Lord. Darrick talked often about all of the love he received from so many people at Highland- may this be an encouragement to press on, loving anyone God sends our way.

Darrick faithfully served our church and the streets every day in the Highland cafe, and was always willing to help anyone in any way. We rejoice that Darrick has entered life, but His presence here will be DEEPLY missed.

“And if your eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into the hell of fire.” - Matthew 18:9

“So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” - Psalm 90:12

“For thus says the One who is high and lifted up, who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: ‘I dwell in the high and holy place, also with him who is of a contrite and lowly spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly, and to revive the heart of the contrite’.” - Isaiah 57:15

Veterans, Thank You.

To those who, willingly, went to the front lines to preserve our Nation’s freedom, thank you! The many luxuries Americans enjoy would not be possible without your willingness to protect them. As we pause today, to thank the Lord for this great country and to honor our heroes, let us all rejoice in what we have been given by the bountiful hand of our Lord — both the right to live in America and for the brave soldiers who defend our rights.

God Bless America.

a quick glance back

Over the last two Sundays, we have laid the groundwork for deepening the understanding our vision. In particular, last Sunday, Carrie and I revisited the working relationship between Highland and Truth Spring.

We also consider ways that we all can serve one another, here, in the life of Highland Community Church. The audio of our service from last week has been posted. Feel free to give it a listen. Click here to access the audio.

It’s likely that we will also hear from others who are leading in and around the life of Highland. These opportunities to all huddle around the Lord’s work, applying our hearts and hands to help, afford us the chance to grow, in Christ, together!

A few weeks ago, we concluded chapter ten of the Gospel of Matthew Series. We take a brief reprieve from our series. We will revisit our vision, savoring the Lord’s future and hope for us this Sunday. We will resume our series soon, picking up in chapter 11.

I am sorry to say that our service last week was not recorded. During our sermon from last week, I simply shared my heart for our church. Reflecting upon the faithfulness of the Lord throughout this month has been meaningful. Yet, in shepherding Highland, it is incumbent of me to help convey how we are to steward “the future and the hope” the Lord’s entrusted unto us. Therefore, I hope offering this summation of what was preached might be helpful. See below:

Highland Belongs to the Lord

“There are two characteristics I want us to continue to cultivate. In part, we could draw from the end of Matthew, chapter ten, that, as His disciple, even giving a child a cup of cold water delights the heart of the Lord.

I want us to be defined as a people who have an insatiable hunger in our hearts for the holiness of our Lord and a hand that is willingly generous for His glory.

Our hearts, Highland, must delight in being holy as He is holy. That meaning, that we must abhor sin, detesting even the hint of offending the holy nature of our Lord Almighty (1st Peter 1:13-16).

Highland, belonging to the Lord results in us becoming a people who delight in sharing in His holy nature. Paul describes this as that we become imitators of our Lord ( Ephesians 5:1-10).

So, there’s the first trait defining our sense of belonging – that we have hearts taking up residence in the holy nature of our Lord. The second trait of belonging to the Lord is that we are joyously generous.

As the Lord has offered us in our despair His hand of mercy, rescuing us, so we must continue to open our hands, generously, as a church. As we belong to the Lord, our giving is not our cause; as His disciple, the Lord’s glory is our cause.

As we pause, considering the abundant goodness of the Lord unto us, Highland, let us continue to be considerate to the poor, as Daniel read from Psalm 41 Sunday morning.

Therefore, belonging to the Lord means that, throughout the life of Highland, we become holy as He is holy, holding our hand as a church, imparting to those in need, generously.”

We continue, Highland, to consider how the Lord has fashioned us and how we can all put our hands to the plow accordingly this Sunday. See you then!

Thanks for everything, Roger.

Roger Woodman’s memorial service tomorrow.

His Memorial Service is scheduled to happen Saturday, November 1st, 11am, at Highland.

Highland, for those who knew Roger, you know he was committed to helping in any way he could. He was always willing to assist in our ministries! He also was willing to lend support to those in need. Let’s gather November 1st, 11am, at Highland to reflect upon his life.

a moment to remember

Highland,

Celebrating with you the Lord’s faithfulness to us was such a memorable occasion last Sunday! The Lord has established a people for His name at Highland; may purposes prevail in us!

As we conclude the month of October this Sunday, I will take this service to place our vision before us, Highland. We will spend time reflecting upon who the Lord has positioned us to be, while taking a present account of the life of Highland. We will also take time to consider the future, asking the Lord to make us a people who long for His holiness, yielding Holy-Spirit-flavored fruits!

Thanks, CrossPointe!

I hope you enjoyed the meal! Cross Pointe’s team went above and beyond to prepare us a feast! Leaders of Highland have already offered a thoughtful response. However, their love for us remains even still, as they served us so generously!

Finally, Highland, my joy over you is steadfast. A person who attends Highland said to me after the service that there's clearly a history at Highland – the roots were made evident in Sunday’s Service. I savor that statement because only the Lord could have made Highland a reality – all glory to His name. Know that I am grateful for you! For your faithfulness in giving, in serving, in being part of the Lord’s work here, at Highland. Thank you!

Highland,

We celebrate twenty years of the Lord’s goodness this Sunday. Join us, as we reflect upon the faithfulness of the Lord, while we also invoke His blessing upon our future. Our service begins at 10am.

Immediately following our 10am service, we will enjoy a meal together on our grounds. Considering that the weather will be agreeable, bring a blanket or a lawn chair, making plans to enjoy being together over a delicious meal.

By the way, I want to thank those from CrossPointe who are coming together to serve us this Sunday. Such a hospitable gesture – thank you! Affording us the chance just to be together is such a gift, we appreciate you!

Last Sunday, we concluded chapter ten of the Gospel of Matthew Series. We take a brief reprieve from our series this Sunday. We will pause to thank the Lord for His devoted, unwavering faithfulness unto us.

This passage from 1st Chronicles 16, when Asaph and his family were dedicating the placement of the Ark of God in the Tent, has been resonating with me this week:

“Oh give thanks to the LORD; call upon his name;

make known his deeds among the peoples!

Sing to him, sing praises to him;

tell of all his wondrous works!

Glory in his holy name;

let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice!

Seek the LORD and his strength;

seek his presence continually!”

1st Chronicles 16:8-11

Highland, this passage sums up our plan for Sunday’s service. May we continue to seek the Lord and His strength, humbled before His presence. We will resume our series through Matthew very soon.

Thanks for everything, Roger.

Sunday School Session Concludes

We have concluded another session of study, Highland! Well done! To those who led us, thank you! I think I speak for all when I say that your commitment to preparation and to challenge us all to go deeper is appreciated.

To those who served in all other ways, know your work is invaluable within the life of Highland. How I appreciate your willingness to ensure all logistics are addressed thoroughly – both with care and thoughtfulness.

Highland, as we continue to go deeper, these Sunday School Sessions will remain a major roadway of discipleship for us. I want all of us to get involved! Let’s cultivate a church-culture that prizes growing in Christ and desires discipleship.

We must continue to stay together, study together and serve together, saturating the life of Highland with Scripture. Oh, Highland, may we place a supreme value on nourishing both our hearts and the hearts of one another with God’s Word.

Current sunday morning happenings

This Sunday, our service will be another blend of reflecting upon the life of Highland and taking another step through our Matthew-Series. We are nearing the end of the tenth chapter.

Last weeks’ service is available online through our audio page. Feel free to give it a listen. It’s a nice blend of the life of Highland. It includes most of David’s remarks, Carrie and me reflecting over the life of Highland, plus Carrie’s blessing over Highland!

It also includes the installment of our series through Matthew. How grateful I am that we, a band of sinners, in constant need of the Lord’s mercy, get to gather to glorify Him, supporting one another.

Our Text From Last Sunday

“Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. And a person’s enemies will be those of his own household. Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And whoever does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it” (Matthew 10:34-39).

Our Starting Text This Sunday

“Whoever receives you receives me, and whoever receives me receives him who sent me. The one who receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and the one who receives a righteous person because he is a righteous person will receive a righteous person’s reward. And whoever gives one of these little ones even a cup of cold water because he is a disciple, truly, I say to you, he will by no means lose his reward” (Matthew 10:40-42).

Thanks, Jim!

Come, ready to eat October 19th.

A long time friend of Highland will be grilling for us October 19th. His name is Jim Money. He and some of his friends from Cross Pointe will be preparing and serving us, Highland, so we can concentrate on being together. Bring blankets and prepare to picnic along the front lawn, if it’s a nice day. Looking forward to celebrating with you the Lord’s abounding goodness.
