Melvin & Alfred — Coffee & Conversation. All are welcome, Sunday’s, 8-9am.

this sunday

Once again, to hear how the Lord is at work in the heart of Highland last Sunday is reviving! Tremendous job with your testimonies, Kimberly and Carol! We have all benefited through your courage to share with us how Christ is shaping your lives! To hear their testimonies, you can visit our audio page and listen!

As this season continues, we have just a few more testimonies upcoming – Joice Chdwick and Elizabeth Davis. As the Lord permits, both of these testimonies will be given this Sunday.

Even still, do not hesitate to ask to share what the Lord’s doing in your life! Afford us the privilege to celebrate Christ as work with you! It promotes the victory we, as followers of Jesus, experience in Him, our Victor over sin and death!! His victory is our rally cry!

Considering that our Sermon-Series through Matthew will soon resume, we pick back up in the 7th chapter. Our starting point would be Matthew 7:7-11. Read through and refresh with me your hearts and minds, as we turn our attention once more to the Gospel of Matthew. See below our text:

“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. Or which one of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent? If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!”

We will first flyover what we’ve already covered in Matthew 7 (verses 1-6), then land upon the passage found above. Excited for the Lord has for us, Highland.

Check out this rainbow! This was Monday night, wow!

check out this Testimonial of the Cafe

“There's a little tan building around the corner. I say it's yellow because the sun seems to shine brighter there. Where there's a tear in the fabric of reality, where Hood meets Heaven. I go there every morning and the greetings are genuine the smiles broad and the laughter like a tingling in the voices of strangers; God sits among us as we chat and sip coffee. White, black, old, young, homeless, housed, the upright and the crippled, for those moments we sit in paradise.”

Easter Testimonies

Highland,

As you may’ve read earlier in the week on our Weekly Update Page, we had technical difficulties last Sunday. Therefore, the testimonies of Robert & Troy were not recorded. Hoping Mike Hare can help us get the problem resolved – he’s very tech-savvy! I regret the loss of their testimonies and I am sorry for any inconvenience.

This Sunday, we celebrate Mothers’ Day! Mothers will be offered a gift, expressing our gratitude for each of you! Moms, you are valued! To those of you who find this day challenging due to difficult reasons, may the Lord’s love abound in your hearts, resulting in the joy of the Lord comforting you.

We will have two delightful women offering us their testimony this Sunday. We will hear how Christ is at work in the lives of Kimberly Gamble & Carol Wright. In part - they will be talking about their lives as moms – so very fitting! Kimberly and Carol – we are excited to celebrate with you all the Lord’s doing in your lives! If you’re interested in signing up for testimonies, please use the form below to let us know.

So many of you have reached out to me to express how much testimonies have meant to you – rightfully so! They’ve been rich! They have served as a dose of encouragement to us all! To those of you who’ve shared, great job!

To those of you still scheduled to share, we look forward to hearing how the Lord is at work in your life. Finally, if you’re still considering sharing, please let me or Kimberly know about your interest. Or, complete the form below. It’s not too late.

This Sunday, I have the privilege of facilitating corporate worship. If you were present last Sunday, you heard Justin Shorey speak to the impact of the Breakfast Choir's version of the song “Show Me Your Ways”. In part, we will sing this song as a corporate expression of our hearts this Sunday – ‘the cry of my heart is to love You, Lord…” – may this lyric be Highland’s heart-cry.

We will also hear testimonies from Troy Clark and from Robert Singleton this Sunday. Troy and Robert, we look forward to celebrating Christ at work in your lives alongside you.

Highland, how my heart abounds in gratitude over your generous hospitality! Thanks for opening wide our doors to our students. Earlier this week, I was talking with a parent who was dealing with her son’s misconduct. We addressed the matter in the office. She then began to tell me how much she loves Truth Spring Academy.

Easter Testimonies

Easter Sunday is this Sunday.

Highland,

As we reflect upon and rejoice over what Christ has done for us, let us consider the cost. Jesus, willingly, laid down His life that we might have life-eternal! While we never could fully account for the cost of Jesus' cross, we must rejoice because we do not have to! He bore sin and death for us on that cross, Highland.

Three days later, when Jesus stands on top of sin and death, He takes His rightful position as victor! He has conquered sin and the grave! As we gather this Easter (this Sunday) to offer Him our praise, we exalt Him as our Rescuer, our Lord, the Lion of Judah, the sacrificial lamb of God.

During Sunday’s service, we will hear testimonies from those who’ve seen the Lord at work in their lives. To those who’ve signed up to share a testimony this Easter Season, thank you! If you’re still prayerfully considering sharing, it’s not too late! You can still sign up and take part (see post on website to sign up).

Service begins at 10am.

kingdom sports season summary

Highland, let’s begin this Weekly Update by celebrating Kingdom Sport’s Opening Season. Stephen Wright has taken the time to put together this summary of the season — check it out:

“Thanks to 12 generous donors, Kingdom Sports met its full budget, making the league completely free for all 32 participants—70% of whom were from the North Highland Community.

  • Four teams of 8- and 9-year-old boys and girls—Celtics, Hawks, Lakers, and Warriors—competed under the leadership of head coaches Joey Bamberger, Joshua Taylor, Billy Holbrook, and JT Overby. Each child received a custom team shirt with a logo on the front and their individual number on the back.

  • Over the course of the season, teams played 7 regular games and one final matchup. All games were officiated by two referees from the Collegiate Basketball Officials Association and opened with a prayer by a Highland Community Church member.

  • A total of 31 volunteers helped throughout the season, sharing the gospel each game day using the 5 colors, providing snacks and drinks, and teaching sportsmanship. Van drivers also provided transportation for kids who needed it.

  • The season ended with a high-energy finale where each participant ran through a tunnel to intro music as their name and number were announced. Families and friends cheered them on before teams gathered for trophies, goodie bags, and cake.

Following along to hear more updates for next season! 🏀⛹️⛹️‍♀️⛹️‍♂️”

Creating a community of discipleship

Now that Sunday School Sessions has concluded for this semester, I want to charge us all to gather together with the purposes of praying together, studying together – that our love may abound for one another! Perhaps some of you could make a plan to do lunch together on Sunday afternoons. Families with young children, meet at our playground and pray together while the children play. Even still, perhaps some of us consider grabbing our coffee from the Highland Cafe’ once a week, meeting and ministering to those who come. Consider facilitating a book study this summer, independent of the Sunday school Sessions. Reach out to me to discuss. Or, what are your ideas? We must be intentional about growing in Christ together; it will not happen automatically. We must foster a community of discipleship, Highland.

Over the next two Sundays, we will “fast-forward” in the book of Matthew to Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem and work toward the greatest act to take place in all time — the resurrection!

From bike riding, to late night movies with popcorn, to turkey hunting – it has been a tremendous break!

David Klaus preaches Sunday.

Sunday’s service was one I will savor. A service that we, indeed, set our affections upon the face of Christ Jesus. How our love abounded for the name of the Lord, and for one another! Services like these can ONLY happen when we commit to staying together, studying together and serving together. Well done, Highland — way to go deeper.

So much feedback about the service has been offered! These after-talks led to David and I discussing forgiveness, which he talked about Sunday, as he led us in prayer. The end-result is that David has volunteered to preach this Sunday on forgiveness! We all look forward to hearing your expanded thoughts on forgiveness, David

“For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses” (Matthew 6:14-15).

As David referenced last Sunday, forgiveness is the topic next covered in the Sermon on the Mount. So, he’s falling in stride with our series on a topic that he’s excited to cover in a sermon. So, join us, as David preaches on the topic of forgiveness this Sunday. To listen to other sermons available, click here. However, last week’s service was not recorded since it was a prayer service. To listen to prior sermons, check out our audio page.

Come, serve and be served, all, in the name of Christ Jesus. Furthermore, snacks and coffee essentials, like cream and sugar, would be most appreciated.
