Kingdom Sports — Game’s started Saturday.
‘stir up one another to love and good works’
Highland,
How grateful I am for each of you! Seeing us come together in the name of the Lord to serve one another means so much to me! As we have discussed in our service the last two weeks, Scripture directs us (Hebrews 10) to stir up good works in love. I hold to the fact that no one brings to life this directive more so than Highland, hence my overflowing gratitude for each of you!
Check out this snapshot of the life of our church from Kingdom Sports (see pic above)! Opening wide our doors with a welcome from Jesus Christ, this picture captures us sharing Jesus with participating families. Please consider coming, supporting these children! You are invited to be a spectator or you can volunteer (see Kingdom Sports' info here).

Praying & Fasting As a Church
“Agree with God, and be at peace; thereby good will come to you. Receive instruction from His mouth, and lay up his words in your heart.”
— Job:21-22
Let’s ask the Lord to align our hearts’ desires to His holy name. In Christ, we are set free from sin; let’s boldly proclaim that freedom, celebrating our Deliverer – Jesus! May He, thereby, grant us the desires of our hearts, Highland, as we delight in Him!

Text for Sunday’s Sermon
“Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree bad and its fruit bad, for the tree is known by its fruit. You brood of vipers! How can you speak good, when you are evil? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. The good person out of his good treasure brings forth good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure brings forth evil. I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak, for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”
Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered him, saying, “Teacher, we wish to see a sign from you.” But he answered them, “An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. For just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. The men of Nineveh will rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold, something greater than Jonah is here. The queen of the South will rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold, something greater than Solomon is here.
“When the unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, but finds none. Then it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when it comes, it finds the house empty, swept, and put in order. Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they enter and dwell there, and the last state of that person is worse than the first. So also will it be with this evil generation.”
While he was still speaking to the people, behold, his mother and his brothers stood outside, asking to speak to him. But he replied to the man who told him, “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?” And stretching out his hand toward his disciples, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers! For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.”
