The Story – Melchizey… Who?
Lake Highlands Church
Are we relating to our high priest the way Abram did? Are we feasting on his presence? Are we seeing life from His perspective? Are we receiving His blessing? Are we giving to Him out of the abundance that God has given us? We need to recognize the glory of having a Melchizedekian priest.

The Story – This Will Be On The Test
Lake Highlands Church
Is our growth academic or is it real? The problem that most of us face is that our growth is academic. We read our Bible, we go to church, we go to Bible studies; we’ve got it all up here, but we are unwilling to do what it takes to get it into our lives. If we want to see real growth in our lives, it’s going to happen through being tested.

The Story – Learning from Lot
Lake Highlands Church
Lot had no personal relationship with God; he focused on the material things that the world could give him right now; he was led by his passions. But Abraham knew God, and he focused on what God would give him later and eternally; Abe was led by those promises. Are we more like Lot or Abe?

The Story – Even Patriarchs Have Bad Days
Lake Highlands Church
No failure is permanent. We can go back to the cross of Jesus Christ and receive the grace and mercy of God offered through him. And, by God’s grace, when we find ourselves in a situation where we are tempted again, if we hold on to God and His promises we can overcome. In times of testing, the question to ask is not, “How can I get out of this?” but rather “What can I get out of this?” God is at work building your faith.

The Story – A Tale of a Tower
Lake Highlands Church
We can’t allow ourselves to be seduced by the world-building for ourselves, trying to make a name for ourselves. If we do, if we rebel (like Nimrod) trying to create our own gate to God, we too will be scattered. We must trust in the only One who is the way to God—Jesus.

The Story – When God Says Never
Lake Highlands Church
Only God has the ability to say “never” and live up to His word. God has provided a way to escape judgement: the way of sacrifice. And through that sacrifice—Jesus—God says, “whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst,”.

Why Lent? - Why Scripture?
Lake Highlands Church
The power of God's word through Scripture is his gift of revelation to us. It is crucial in helping us know him, to know ourselves, and to walk out a life of love in a broken world.
info_outlineIf we are going to be followers of Jesus, not just supporters; if we are going to be apprentices, and step into this amazing life that Jesus has called us to, we are going to have leave some things behind. So we have to choose. Will we stay with the comfort of what we know…fishing at night, cleaning our nets, doing the same things in the same ways that we’ve always done them…or will we step into the adventure of following Jesus, leaving our boats and nets behind, so that we can experience the love and joy of life with him? See, the question is, if you don’t follow Jesus, where else are you going to go?
Scripture reading: Luke 5:1-11
