Weekly Update
“When He saw the crowds, He felt compassion for them, because they were weary and worn out, like sheep without a shepherd.”
This Sunday, Robert Singleton will be taking the pulpit. He will speak to us about showing compassion to those who are hurting, deceived and sinful.
Part of my devotion today:
“Let another praise you, and not your own mouth - a stranger, not your own lips.”
My prayer:
“Lord, keep Highland from building her own reputation. Rather, take hold of us, Lord, like a pen in hand, and write a testimony unto Your glory. Let our name be consumed by Your name. May those who look upon Highland Community Church see a dwelling-place of your glory.”

Our Annual North Pole Breakfast
Highland Family,
Our love and appreciation for you only deepens as the years continue to go by. What the Lord has brought to life at Highland is unique and set apart, all for His purposes and glory. I consider it an honor to be part of the Highland family and I look forward to what the Lord has in store for us, as His Highland Tribe.
We hope that your Christmas is warm and bright this season. Together, let us rejoice that Jesus offers us an enduring mercy and a ‘hope that does not disappoint’ (Romans 5). I hope that we can all adore and take delight in Him, for offering us Himself and imparting to us an unfailing love, which is the theme we find at the heart of Christmas.
May we all, with repentant and grateful hearts, be at rest in the light of His presence.
From our family to yours, Merry Christmas!
We love you,
The Strickland Clan

Part of my devotion:
“Don’t say: ‘I will avenge this evil!’ Wait on the Lord and He will rescue you.” - Proverbs 20:22
My prayer:
Rejoicing over the Lord’s faithfulness to deliver us in a way that reveals His righteousness, not just proves us right.

I am reading: “The Strategy of Satan” , by Warren Wiersbe, right now. This book is a great help regarding Spiritual Warfare.
Part of my reading:
“I delight to do Your will, oh my God; Your law is within my heart.”
My prayer: “Lord, let your law guard my heart, my eyes’ gaze and my thought-life. Assure my heart that Your Word is my safe-place.”

Porter did a little Caroling throughout our neighborhoods last night. They brightened everyone’s Christmas that they encountered with song and the joy of Jesus!
Thanks, all!!
Part of my devotion today:
“First of all, you should know this: No prophecy of Scripture comes from one’s own interpretation, because no prophecy ever came by the will of man; instead, men spoke from God as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.”
My prayer:
“Holy Spirit, move. Take command of my lips and reveal Your might, Your plan, Yourself to us.”

Because we held our Christmas Musical today, there was no sermon today.
