Prayer Guide
3rd Strand of Stewardship — Highland
“Like a City on a Hill” – wherever we are, whatever circumstances we find ourselves within, may we radiate the light of Christ Jesus! It’s not shiny ministries or spot lights and sound bytes that will change hearts. It’s our desire, both personally and collectively, to be distinct that puts Christ on display, like a city on a hill! It’s our desire to ‘be in the light as He is in the light.’ Here’s what it means to walk in the light, bearing citizenship as one who resides in a city on a hill:
We flee from darkness: Read and pray through Colossians 3:5-10 this week.
We walk in the light: Read and pray also through Colossians 3:12-17.
As Alex Sturgeon said to me once, “Highland has been a solid, bright campfire but is becoming a blazing bonfire!” As we sit upon a hill in North Highland, may the flames of the Holy Spirit burn brightly within us! Let us, collectively, walk in the light of Christ as citizens of that 'city on a hill.’
This is my most longing desire for us, Highland. Let’s continue to go deeper, abounding in love for the Lord and for each other. This love was certainly shown to Andrew in our vote! The members present at our recent Member Meeting voted. 100% voted in favor of bringing Andrew Cowart on staff in a permanent position as Ministry Coordinator. How affirming! How hopeful, both for Andrew and for Highland! Andrew, welcome! May the Lord make the work of your hands fruitful as you serve His Name here, at Highland.
chapter 18
The Beauty of the Heart of Christ
continuing our series through Matthew
David really did a great job reigniting our series through Matthew! He took on the first portion of the 18th chapter - verses one through six. His sermon is posted. Give it a listen; it’s good heart medicine! We continue through our series through Matthew this Sunday. I will be preaching throughout the next portion of the chapter.
Sunday School starts this Sunday, 9a.m. Please see our Class Schedule. Make every effort to join as we study God’s Word together. This semester will run through October 4th. To those serving, thank you for your willingness to help!
Classes are underway at TSA!
School’s back In Session!
To my fellow educators – ‘tis the season to return! Know that I am praying for us all. May the Lord give us endurance as we begin the marathon that is a school year! Truth Spring Academy students returned this Wednesday. This marks the start of my 29th year in education! Kicked off my 29th year with such an enjoyable student body!
We even have several kiddos from our church in Truth Spring Academy’s student body. What a privilege to serve you and your family in this way! I hope we all, educators and parents, have a fruitful school year! Finally, Highland — thank you for opening wide your doors to these students! They love it here. So hospitable of you.
