Weekly Update

Concluding Our Series Through Jude

Highland,

Last Sunday, we took the opportunity to draw our focus to Jude 1:20-21, which states:

“But you, beloved, building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life.”

To bring this passage to life, we aligned Jude’s charge with our Four Strands of Stewardship: Heart, Home, Highland & North Highland. We then fastened our grip upon the first three strands through holding our Family Dedication Service.

Jude’s directives challenge us all to hold firmly to building one another up, according to the blueprint of God’s holiness, by way of cultivating His merciful and loving nature amongst us.

As I reviewed Jude earlier this week, I realized that I forgot a passage! I omitted a portion of the book and I would like to address the passage here:

“And have mercy on those who doubt; save others by snatching them out of the fire; to others show mercy with fear, hating even the garment stained by the flesh.”

As Jude then tells us to bear with those who struggle and go after those who are deceived, we see clearly that we are to be patient and merciful with others, as is our Lord.

We must allow the love of Christ to crucify that critical and impatient spirit that is enraged within our flesh, seeking to control our lives.

Finally, in our submission to the Holy Spirit – ‘be holy as He is holy.’ Delight in His holiness; hunger for the fruits of the Holy Spirit, hating sin!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Abraham Lincoln made Thanksgiving a National Holiday in 1863. Here is his proclamation:

“No human counsel hath devised nor hath any mortal hand worked out these great things. They are the gracious gifts of the Most High God, who, while dealing with us in anger for our sins, hath nevertheless remembered mercy. It has seemed to me fit and proper that they should be solemnly, reverently and gratefully acknowledged as with one heart and voice by the whole American People. I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next, as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens.”

Highland,

As Lincoln has charged us, I take delight in heeding his directive to pause, offering my gratitude for the Lord’s unwavering faithfulness, and for you!

Know that you are deeply valued in the hearts of my family and such a blessing to us, Highland. As the Lord continues to prove loving in our midst, let us continue to build one another up in His love, as Jude instructs us to do so.

As you enjoy this day around the table with your loved ones, know that I count myself blessed to share in your life. I pray that the Lord’s blessing rests upon you and your family.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Rob

Our Weekly Update

Our Joy Abounds!

May we continue to love one another, celebrating how the Lord’s love brings us together.

Have a joyous Thanksgiving

“By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers. But if anyone has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God’s love abide in him? Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.By this we shall know that we are of the truth and reassure our heart before him.”

— 1st John 3:16-19

As we move toward Thanksgiving, Highland, know that I thank the Lord for you! I am overwhelmed with joy because I have the opportunity to share in life with you.

This morning (Friday) a person who’s a part of our community stopped by our cafe’. Now, as of this Monday, he has suffered tremendous loss and is grieving. In the wake of losing his wife of 49 years, he has stopped by our Highland Cafe’ each morning. After he got his morning cup of coffee, we bumped into one another on the sidewalk. He then said to me: “If you want to find out what true love is, all you have to do is just come by here (Highland).”

Highland, this is precisely how I feel! Our love for one another is an overflow of our love of the Lord. This grieving man’s observation of us, as a people, reveals the Lord’s love at work in us, as His people!

So, when I say that I am grateful for you; to belong to the Highland family, it’s because the Lord’s love at work in us lifts me up, causing me to rejoice for what He is doing in our midst! May we continue to be known by our love for Him and for another.

Saturday, from 11am-1pm, at M2540.

Thanksgiving Meals @ M2540 saturday

As we enter the Holiday Season, I know that M2540 is holding their annual Thanksgiving Feast. It’s being held this Saturday, from 11am-1pm.

Our Weekly Update

Our Series through jude

Highland,

How I love you. Being able to spend my days journeying alongside you in pursuit of the good of our neighbor in honor of our Lord is such a joy! Know that I rejoice over you! Know that you matter to me!

We opened our series through Jude last Sunday. In Jude’s opening remarks (1:1-4), he makes his relationship with Jesus known through conveying his heart-posture as a servant of Jesus. His purpose for breathing in serving the name of Jesus! Oh, how I long for us to know belonging to Jesus is our purpose – that we may truly live!

This week, we will hover over verses 5-16 of Jude. We know that Jude learns that false teachers have infiltrated the church. Jude then uses much of the history of God’s people to highlight the evidence of false teachings. He then charges the church to be unified, maintaining a strong grip on God’s truth, thereby finding a gear to persevere in the Spirit, resulting in His presence becoming the stronghold of the church – come what may!

Here’s our memory-passage for this series

“But you, beloved, building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life” (Jude 1:20-21).

Song for our Series

Furthermore, we have a song that we are using as an anchor-song for our series. Great job learning and singing last week. Thought I’d share it with you so that you could continue to practice.

Our Weekly Update

THANK YOU Jordan Family

How I thoroughly enjoyed repenting and rejoicing with you over the name and the authority of Jesus last Sunday! The trend holding the Lord’s Supper followed by the Agape Feast has become one my favorites! So thrilled to see how the Lord is shaping, through His presence, our house into a home. Love sharing this journey with you, Highland.

I especially want to thank the Jordan family for providing us such a tasty meal. Seeing them all take over our kitchen as a family to serve the Highland family was actually such a special occasion! To all who served, thank you! The time of fellowship was such an enriching experience for me, for every one!

Toland, you will be missed.

Toland Michael’s passed Away

On a note of loss, Toland Michael has passed away. He was a member of our church for roughly 10 years, yet had spent the last several years in Savannah with family. There he was loved till his dying breath. He now knows death swallowed up in victory – in the name of Christ Jesus, His Victor! Our church will certainly lean in, attending to the family’s needs from a distance, given they should call on us.

Our Weekly Update

Communion This Sunday

As we gather this Sunday, we will hold the Lord’s Supper. Let us open our hearts to revere and rejoice over the name of Jesus, who pays for our sin! Where we wrestle with sin, let us refasten our grip upon our Victor – Jesus – who saves sinners! We come to repent and to rejoice.

Billy Holbrook and our team will be facilitating corporate worship. Julie Jordan will share a devotion centered upon Communion. I will be then host us throughout our partaking of Communion.

Agape Feast Following Our Service

Following our service, we will hold our Agape Feast. Compelled from our love for the Lord, this meal allows us to impart our love to another. The Jordan family has so generously committed to orchestrating this feast. This means we are all going to eat real good! Jordan Family, thank you for your extreme hospitality in providing this feast.

Throughout the Month of November

Looking a little further down the road, we did not complete our Shepherding Session Agenda last Sunday. I will be picking that agenda back up later this month. Also, we will begin working through the book Jude as a church. We will cover this book of the Bible in just a few short weeks. Please go ahead and begin to read this short but impactful piece of Scripture.

our biblical role in this election

“Be subject for the Lord’s sake to every human institution, whether it be to the emperor as supreme, or to governors as sent by him to punish those who do evil and to praise those who do good. For this is the will of God, that by doing good you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish people. Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants of God. Honor everyone. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the emperor” (1st Peter 2:13-17).

Our nation is a human institution. Flawed and marked by her own sins, America is a republic that forges citizens into a democratic society empowered to select its leaders. Highland, this precedent of deciding our own leaders is precious and is to be handled with dignity and respect.

Looking at Peter’s first directive here, those who love the Lord are commanded to adhere to every human institution. How are we to do so? By being good citizens. Knowing that our chief identity is that we are citizens of a holy nation (which Peter addresses earlier in his letter) informs us as to how we conduct ourselves, as men and women who are holy.

The outwork of holiness then leads us to engaging proper responsibilities that good citizens are to maintain. When there is an election, that means we are to vote! Perhaps, therein lies our issue. Considering our current candidates and our current political-theater, how do we make a wise choice?

Let’s realize that we are voting, adhering to the voting process for the Lord’s sake, not for the sake of any political candidate. Now, realizing that we have people who are on the ballot and will certainly occupy the elected office for which we’re voting, we must do our best to become an informed voter.

First, Peter tells us that by being members of the “holy nation” established in the name of King Jesus, that, through our holy conduct, we exercise our duty as citizens. Here’s what’s special about America – that our goodwill as citizens includes our right to vote for our own leaders; thereby “silencing the ignorance of foolish people.”

In this day and age, the saturation of information is excessive, so it’s hard to know exactly which source from which to gain information. Furthermore, due to sinful and power-hungry agendas, news sources are often pushing their own political views, which means the balanced and unbiased source of information is not able to be located.

Highland, I ask all of us to look beyond and beneath the candidates before us. I ask us to step away from social media platforms and news sources. Let’s do our part and vote, allowing the Holy Spirit to direct our hearts, navigated by His Word.

Peter tells us exactly how to navigate the current political theater we’re facing, including how to form an opinion according to the holy nature of our Lord. He says, as those who know freedom in Christ, let us not entangle nor enslave ourselves to human-institutions, like the news-institutions or political institutions. Rather, as participants in human affairs, serve the Lord, who is the maker of heaven and earth.

Peter then tells us exactly what’s taking place in our political arena. Peter instructs us not to use our freedom in Christ as a cover up for evil – meaning that we should not live a double life; that we are to avoid twisting truths. The abuse of the American freedoms we are afforded are so warped through the evil-one manifesting within those who do not know the Lord, Highland. They will put Christian words in their rhetoric. They will use Bible verses to persuade people to vote for them.

The challenge for us is to be able to hold to Biblical truths, not simply be duped by someone advertising Christian views. So, with all of this political mayhem, how do Believers maintain a Biblical Framework housing Biblical Truths within our hearts so we can enter the voting booth with a clear conscience and vote? Peter tells us how to do so: “Honor everyone. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the emperor.”

Thanks, everyone, who made this happen.

We celebrated our 20th Anniversary Wednesday.

twenty years of life together

Highland,

We celebrated 20 years of marriage this week! Our journey has been such an adventure! How the Lord continues to prove faithful! Twenty years ago, I had no idea that Highland would still be around! Wow, how the Lord orchestrates His plans and how His plans have prevailed! Carrie and I rejoice over you, Highland. As He has been so good to me and to Carrie, He continues to be good to us, Highland. Let’s celebrate His faithfulness all of our days! Through it all, He has fashioned His purposes into the life of our marriage and into the life of Highland. So happy to share this journey with you, Highland!

bringing our series in for a landing

As we are bringing in this Spiritual Warfare Series for a landing, I hope to answer one question this Sunday – As the Church, how do we deal with and respond to spiritual warfare? In addressing this question, I hope to highlight how Scripture directs our hearts in strategically (Biblically) responding to the devil and the demonic forces that often torment us. Join us, as we take a closer look.
