Everyone wants to do something great, and God wants to use us for great things. In 2 Timothy 2:14-21 we're challenged to be 'approved workers' for God by turning away from sin that can distract us, and keeping the good news of Jesus Christ our main focus in all that we do.
"Sharing the gospel isn't the easiest thing in the world to do. We can easily feel rejected or mocked and as a result, back away from sharing. Timothy, the pastor in Ephesus, may have felt that way too. Paul challenges him, and us as well: remember Jesus, and reach out those who need to hear the gospel." -Bob
"2 Timothy 2:1-7 is the heart of our series. It's all about learning the process of "walk this way" discipleship- one generation of believers passing on their faith to the next generation. It takes being someone strong in grace, trustworthy, devoted, honest, and diligent." -Mark
In 1 Timothy 1:8-18 we are given a solid reminder of what Jesus did for us, and a command to be unashamed of Jesus. Take a look at your life - see what God has done, and then go and live unashamed! -Thomas
"We serve a great God! 3 John looks at three characters within the church body. Which character do we most resemble within our service at Highlands? Do you walk in truth? Or do you find it difficult to submit to the authorities God has placed in your life? Are you an aspiring leader, ready to disciple others toward Christ? Do you rejoice over knowing that your children are walking in the truth? Enjoy this message in light of knowing truth." -Jeff
The book of 2 John focuses on protecting our fellowship from those who teach falsehood. John's desire is to keep the body of believers united in Christ through truth, love and obedience to the commanded purpose of God for our lives.
Our spiritual life shouldn't be complicated - just listen, believe, submit, obey, and depend. This is a great formula for making disciples! - Mark

Dear Church: A Study in 1 Corinthians
1 Corinthians is a letter written by the Apostle Paul to a church in the country of Greece called Corinth. It's full of both encouragement and loving correction as Paul reminds the church of who they are in Christ, the importance of love and unity, and a warning not to stray into the immoral practices of the culture around them. His encouragement and direction proves completely true and relevant to the American church in 2025 as we also strive to follow Jesus well in the midst of a culture that's drifting further from God's truth.
