Rejoice in Suffering
People try to find hope in many ways - through people, experiences...
We can all fall easily into the trap of pointing out the wrongdoing of others while completely ignoring our own. When we believe that our obedience to a set of religious rules will somehow give us better standing with God than the people around us, we forget the central message of the gospel: only through the saving grace of Jesus Christ can we be made right with God. The religious and the rebellious both need Jesus.
When our worship turns away from God and goes instead toward the worship of pleasure, our culture's decline is inevitable. The final verses of Romans 1 follow the progression of what happens when a people reject God's design for relationships and make their own desires their primary focus. And even though our culture seems hopelessly lost, we must never lose sight of God's ability to transform lives through the power of Jesus Christ and the hope of the gospel.
God's wrath isn't a comfortable subject, and yet we all have a desire to see evil confronted when it affects us or the people we love. When mankind rejects God's design for life, the consequence is disorder, confusion and the destruction of truth. Everyone needs to make a choice: will we accept God as the authority in our lives, or will we try to make ourselves the authority instead?
The gospel is good, life-changing news for everyone, everywhere - so why don't we share it with more people? In a culture that continues to drift further from biblical truth, we can find ourselves hesitant to have Christ-centered conversations for fear of rejection. How do we remain unashamed of the gospel and stay on mission to share it?
The good news of the gospel is for everyone, everywhere. If we've been transformed and set free by the power of Jesus Christ, our priority should be to share that news with everyone we know. The Apostle Paul's burden was to encourage the people of Rome. With whom has God given you a burden to share the gospel?
The gospel is good news for everyone, everywhere, for all time. As his letter begins, the Apostle Paul adopts the attitude of a servant and invites us to join him on the mission to share the good news about Jesus Christ with the world.
What does it mean to serve like Jesus? We often see serving as a task to be checked off our list, but Jesus models serving as a lifestyle. As Jesus gave his life in service of others, his call to us is to do the same. Every moment we have on this earth is an opportunity to live a lifestyle of service.
Everyone wants a great family life, but the pressures and influences of the world can quickly knock your family off track. Our vision as a church is to resource and equip families to intentionally point each other toward Jesus in every aspect of their lives. Do you have a plan?
Our faith in Jesus Christ is meant to grow and mature. Whether you're brand new in your relationship with Christ or you've been a believer for decades, everyone has areas in which they can grow in their spiritual maturity. What's your next step of faith in Jesus?
Everyone has questions about what happens after we die. This Q&A session addresses questions the Highlands Church family sent in during our AfterLife series. With the Bible as a foundation, our panel of pastors answered questions on cremation, purgatory, predestination, our new life in heaven, walking through the loss of a loved one, the destiny of demons, the authority of the Bible and more.
