Highland Cafe’ — Tuesday-Friday, 8:30—11:30am. Let us know if you want to help Mondays.
open bibles; open hearts
Highland,
People attending the cafe are reading the Bible. Seeing hearts turn toward God’s Word through devotions being offered and people perusing through Scripture as they sip their coffee is mind-blowing! Thank you, Jo Ellen, for capturing this moment. To those who support the ministry, thank you! If you want to help, contact us.
“I will meditate on your precepts and fix my eyes on your ways.
I will delight in your statutes; I will not forget your word.”
Psalm 119:15-16
Sunday’s Service starts @ 10am — this kid’s got style!
Praying & Fasting As a Church
"Your habitat is where your habit is at." - Paul Boshears
Casey Lynch charged us, Highland, to let our hearts hold to the honor of the Lord. In so doing, our homes hold to His honor! May our heart’s habits be in agreement with our Lord’s holy nature.
As we pray for our homes today, may the Holy Spirit reside in all authority within our dwelling places. As I consider the home I steward for our children, this proverb always come to mind:
“In the fear of the LORD one has strong confidence,
and his children will have a refuge.”
Proverbs 14:26
In fearing the Lord, we seek, first, His honor! As the Lord proves faithful as our Protector and our Provider, we gain confidence in Him, as a loving, trustworthy Father! Our entrusting of Him throughout our lives writes our testimony of faithfulness before the very eyes of our children; hence, they learn to take refuge in Him, too! Let us create a habitat teeming with faithfulness unto the Lord, Highland.

Our Text for This Sunday: Matthew 13:1-17
Text for Sunday’s Sermon
“That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat beside the sea. And great crowds gathered about him, so that he got into a boat and sat down. And the whole crowd stood on the beach. And he told them many things in parables, saying: “A sower went out to sow. And as he sowed, some seeds fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured them. Other seeds fell on rocky ground, where they did not have much soil, and immediately they sprang up, since they had no depth of soil, but when the sun rose they were scorched. And since they had no root, they withered away. Other seeds fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them. Other seeds fell on good soil and produced grain, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. He who has ears, let him hear.
Then the disciples came and said to him, “Why do you speak to them in parables?” And he answered them, “To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given. For to the one who has, more will be given, and he will have an abundance, but from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away. This is why I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand. Indeed, in their case the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled that says:
“‘‘You will indeed hear but never understand,
and you will indeed see but never perceive.”
For this people’s heart has grown dull,
and with their ears they can barely hear,
and their eyes they have closed,
lest they should see with their eyes
and hear with their ears
and understand with their heart
and turn, and I would heal them.’
But blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear. For truly, I say to you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it” (Matthew 13:1-17).
