Our Plans for September 5th & 6th.

Highland Fam,

Chicken & Rice and our Tent Gathering are happening this weekend!

IMG_3663.JPG

Each Saturday from 10:30am-1:00pm, we serve our streets a meal of Chicken & Rice, along with the Gospel. Volunteers are welcome to join us.  Chicken & Rice Ministries is our flagship work. It serves as the invitation to all in our streets to come and know Christ. If you would like to come and serve, please contact us.

This Sunday, I look forward to seeing everyone at the Tent Gathering. As we gather this Sunday for our Tent Gathering, I wanted to go over the schedule with you. This Sunday, our schedule is as follows:

  • 9am-10am: Coffee and Conversation. As you arrive, grab a cup of coffee and a breakfast sandwich. Enjoy having conversation with one another and the chance to be together. Also, if you’re willing, some will be setting up for the 10 am service. We welcome your help, if you’re able.

  • 10am-11am: Tent Gathering Service. At 10am, bring your camping chairs or blankets to make for yourself a place outside, underneath our tent. We will gather to worship as we set our eyes upon Jesus. Highland, I ask that we would be in prayer for the name of Jesus to be exalted in our corporate gathering; that those who wander, or are deceived throughout our streets, would hear that Jesus saves, and repent! We will conclude and dismiss following this service. So, breakfast will be offered but not lunch. This Sunday, I will be away. Billy will be leading worship and Justin Jordan will be preaching.

We are strongly encouraging social distancing and masks will be available for those who would feel most comfortable wearing one. If you have a mask, please bring one for yourself to use.  We ask that you stay home when you are sick. We also ask that you cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash. Also, avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands. Finally, keeping your hands clean using sanitizer or by washing them with soap is vital. If you have a personal bottle of sanitizer, bring it and keep it on you for your personal use throughout gatherings.

I look forward to seeing you.

I love you,

Rob



Tent Gathering: Compassion

Highland Family,

Here is our latest Tent Gathering, themed: “Compassion.” To those of you were able to join us, it was great seeing you; to those of you who were unable to join us, know that you were missed. If you need anything, we remain here for you, both in support and love.

Below, you will find our passages and the audio recording of our service. Communal Prayer and the Sermon are what make up the recording. I hope that you are strengthened and encouraged through God’s Word as you check it out.



TODAY’S PASSAGE

“David asked, “Is there anyone still left of the house of Saul to whom I can show kindness for Jonathan’s sake?” Now there was a servant of Saul’s household named Ziba. They summoned him to appear before David, and the king said to him, “Are you Ziba?” “At your service,” he replied. The king asked, “Is there no one still alive from the house of Saul to whom I can show God’s kindness?” Ziba answered the king, “There is still a son of Jonathan; he is lame in both feet.” “Where is he?” the king asked. Ziba answered, “He is at the house of Makir son of Ammiel in Lo Debar.” So King David had him brought from Lo Debar, from the house of Makir son of Ammiel. When Mephibosheth son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, came to David, he bowed down to pay him honor. David said, “Mephibosheth!” “At your service,” he replied. “Don’t be afraid,” David said to him, “for I will surely show you kindness for the sake of your father Jonathan. I will restore to you all the land that belonged to your grandfather Saul, and you will always eat at my table. ” Mephibosheth bowed down and said, “What is your servant, that you should notice a dead dog like me?” Then the king summoned Ziba, Saul’s steward, and said to him, “I have given your master’s grandson everything that belonged to Saul and his family. You and your sons and your servants are to farm the land for him and bring in the crops, so that your master’s grandson may be provided for. And Mephibosheth, grandson of your master, will always eat at my table.” (Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.) Then Ziba said to the king, “Your servant will do whatever my lord the king commands his servant to do.” So Mephibosheth ate at David’s table like one of the king’s sons. Mephibosheth had a young son named Mika, and all the members of Ziba’s household were servants of Mephibosheth. And Mephibosheth lived in Jerusalem, because he always ate at the king’s table; he was lame in both feet” (2 Samuel 9:1-12, NIV).


Walk in the Light,

“May the Lord direct your hearts to God’s love and Christ’s endurance” (2 Thessalonians 3:5, HCSB).




Jim Holbrook Plays a Highland Standard.

“Walk with Me” played by Jim Holbrook

“Righteousness and justice are the foundation
of Your throne; faithful love and truth go before You.
Happy are the people who know the joyful shout;
Yahweh, they walk in the light of Your presence.”
— Psalm 89:15, HCSB

Our very own Jim Holbrook has been doing music with Jesse Shelby. Jim has been recording songs that have played a big part in his life and Jesse has been capturing them in the recording studio! This spiritual, ‘Walk with Me” has been part of our Highland Family for the better part of 10 years. “Walk with Me” is nothing more than an earnest prayer request for the Lord to walk alongside us throughout our days. Jim takes this common heart cry and plays it with heart on the guitar.

TODAY’S PASSAGES

“The revelation of forgiveness in the Bible is not that God puts snow over our heaps of rubbish, but that He turns the person into the standard of Himself, the Forgiver.”

— O. Chambers

“Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Give, and it will be given to you; a good measure — pressed down, shaken together, and running over — will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you” (Luke 6:37-38, HCSB).


“He said to His disciples, ‘Offenses will certainly come, but woe to the one they come through! It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea than for him to cause one of these little ones to stumble. Be on your guard. If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him. And if he sins against you seven times in a day, and comes back to you seven times, saying, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him” (Luke 17:1-4, HCSB).

Rob

Tent Gathering: Holy

Highland Family,

Below, you will find our passages and the audio recording of our service. Communal Prayer and the Sermon are what make up the recording. I hope that you are strengthened and encouraged through God’s Word as you check it out.



TODAY’S PASSAGES

“Once you were alienated and hostile in your minds because of your evil actions. But now He has reconciled you by His physical body through His death, to present you holy, faultless, and blameless before Him — if indeed you remain grounded and steadfast in the faith and are not shifted away from the hope of the gospel that you heard. This gospel has been proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and I, Paul, have become a servant of it” (Colossians 1:21-23, HCSB).


“Therefore, with your minds ready for action, be serious and set your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. As obedient children, do not be conformed to the desires of your former ignorance. But as the One who called you is holy, you also are to be holy in all your conduct; for it is written, Be holy, because I am holy” (1 Peter 1:13-16, HCSB).

Walk in the Light,

Rob

First: John 3:19-21; Second: 1 John 2:8-11, HCSB

“This, then, is the judgment: The light has come into the world, and people loved darkness rather than the light because their deeds were evil. For everyone who practices wicked things hates the light and avoids it, so that his deeds may not be exposed. But anyone who lives by the truth comes to the light, so that his works may be shown to be accomplished by God.”


“Yet I am writing you a new command, which is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away and the true light is already shining. The one who says he is in the light but hates his brother is in the darkness until now. The one who loves his brother remains in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in him. But the one who hates his brother is in the darkness, walks in the darkness, and doesn’t know where he’s going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.”


Walk in the Light,

Rob
