Lake Highlands Church

The Lake Highlands Church is an interdenominational family of imperfect believers, trusting only Christ as Savior and Lord. Rooted in the ancient, authoritative scriptures, we are saved by God’s surprising grace, alive in the power of the Spirit and expectant of a coming Christ. “Everything we do is in response to being saved by grace.”

The Story – Melchizey… Who? 06/03/2021

The Story – Melchizey… Who? 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. /episode/index/show/lakehighlandschurch/id/19347029

The Story – This Will Be On The Test 06/03/2021

The Story – This Will Be On The Test 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. /episode/index/show/lakehighlandschurch/id/19346753

The Story – Learning from Lot 05/18/2021

The Story – Learning from Lot 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? /episode/index/show/lakehighlandschurch/id/19148417

The Story – Even Patriarchs Have Bad Days 05/11/2021

The Story – Even Patriarchs Have Bad Days 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. /episode/index/show/lakehighlandschurch/id/19065047

The Story – A Tale of a Tower 04/20/2021

The Story – A Tale of a Tower 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. /episode/index/show/lakehighlandschurch/id/18792332

The Story – When God Says Never 04/13/2021

The Story – When God Says Never 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,”. /episode/index/show/lakehighlandschurch/id/18709187

Why Lent? - Why Scripture? 03/30/2021

Why Lent? - Why Scripture? 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. /episode/index/show/lakehighlandschurch/id/18536381

Why Lent - Why Serve 03/23/2021

Why Lent - Why Serve Why do we serve? Christians serve because Jesus was a servant. Jesus viewed himself as the fulfillment of God’s promises that a servant would come and bring the kingdom. Jesus served us by healing the sick, feeding the hungry, and by his great love for us in his self-sacrificial death. After being humbled unto death, Jesus was exalted. In the kingdom, we follow the path of service if we want to be exalted. /episode/index/show/lakehighlandschurch/id/18437000

Why Lent? - Why Fast 03/16/2021

Why Lent? - Why Fast Fasting reminds us that we are sustained by God. Fasting humbles us and puts us in a position where we recognize our dependence on God and thus can hear more clearly from God. /episode/index/show/lakehighlandschurch/id/18347261

Why Lent? - Why Repent 03/09/2021

Why Lent? - Why Repent The power of repentance is that it clears the obstructions in our relationship with God allows us to take a giant step toward wholeness and health; toward the full and abundant life that Jesus came to give us. And we can have confidence that a prayer of confession God will always answer, with guaranteed forgiveness. /episode/index/show/lakehighlandschurch/id/18252473

Prayer 03/02/2021

Prayer Scripture reading: Romans 12:2, ll Chronicles 7:11-16, l Chronicles 4:9-10 /episode/index/show/lakehighlandschurch/id/18155303

Why Lent - Why Give Stuff Up 02/24/2021

Why Lent - Why Give Stuff Up The reason we give up things, things that are pleasurable, is not so that we somehow earn favor with God, but it is so that we re-orient our lives and get intentional about our relationship with God. We give up a pleasure for a brief time in order to allow God to replace that pleasure with Himself. /episode/index/show/lakehighlandschurch/id/18074000

The Story - Gethsemane in Eden 02/14/2021

The Story - Gethsemane in Eden With the first Adam came the curse, but the last Adam, the offspring of the woman, Jesus, came and bore the curse for us on the cross so that we could be born again, into the family of God. /episode/index/show/lakehighlandschurch/id/17943002

The Story - “Whose Voice Are you listening To?” 02/10/2021

The Story - “Whose Voice Are you listening To?” Too often we listen to voices that do not have our best interest in mind. The voice we need to have our ears trained to hear is the voice of our loving creator who will always call us into fellowship and freedom. /episode/index/show/lakehighlandschurch/id/17898359

The Story - “It’s Not Good to Be Alone” 02/10/2021

The Story - “It’s Not Good to Be Alone” This is about more than marriage; this is about the dynamics of humanity…that we need both male and female perspective, male and female gifting. It is about community. /episode/index/show/lakehighlandschurch/id/17898257

The Story - “The Crown of Creation” 02/10/2021

The Story - “The Crown of Creation” For 5 and a half days God created and filled the earth, but if he had stopped there all he would have had was a greenhouse and a zoo. But God wanted someone to be in relationship with—to be love and be loved by—so he created humanity, in his image, giving them provision and purpose and privilege and prerogative. /episode/index/show/lakehighlandschurch/id/17898131

The Story - “Rest” 02/10/2021

The Story - “Rest” The Jewish day doesn’t begin in the morning, as we westerners tend to think; the Jewish day begins at sunset. The mindset is, your day doesn’t begin with production; your day begins with resting. The idea is, your identity lies in who you are (as created by God), not in what you do. /episode/index/show/lakehighlandschurch/id/17897843

The Story - “The Story Starts Here” 02/10/2021

The Story - “The Story Starts Here” Too often we look to the scriptures to learn the “hows”; how to do this, how to do that, how this or that came about. But the beginning of THE STORY is about the who and the why not the how. God is the who and WE are the why. /episode/index/show/lakehighlandschurch/id/17897645

Full. Life. Jesus. - "Knowing v. Doing" 03/25/2020

Full. Life. Jesus. - "Knowing v. Doing" I think most of us would agree that generally, we know the things we ought to do, but putting them into practice is the hard part. You might call it a Knowing v. Doing gap. In order to live in the fullness of life that Jesus offers, the Kingdom Life, we need to be doers. /episode/index/show/lakehighlandschurch/id/13695713

Full. Life. Jesus. - Love and the Slurpee Principle 03/09/2020

Full. Life. Jesus. - Love and the Slurpee Principle We don’t like to forgive because we think it’s weak; Jesus says that it is divine. We don’t like to forgive because we think that there will be no justice and evil will prevail; Jesus says that vengeance is God’s responsibility. We don’t like to forgive because we think that if we do it will diminish us; Jesus says, not only will you not be diminished, but you will be refilled to overflowing. /episode/index/show/lakehighlandschurch/id/13477778

Full. Life. Jesus. - The Great Reversal 03/02/2020

Full. Life. Jesus. - The Great Reversal The things that Jesus proclaimed in the “Sermon on the Plain” sound like impossible ideals given by some out-of-touch mystic, but they are actually pragmatic truths proclaimed by a down-to-earth realist. Jesus knew how life works, both in the Kingdom of Heaven and in the kingdom of this world. Jesus himself embodied these truths and showed us that living them is the way to full, abundant life. /episode/index/show/lakehighlandschurch/id/13371761

Full. Life. Jesus. - Courage 02/24/2020

Full. Life. Jesus. - Courage It is one thing to believe something, it is another thing to quote scripture about what you believe, but when push comes to shove and when your life is on the line and the powers that be are against you, will you back up your words with your life? /episode/index/show/lakehighlandschurch/id/13276133

Full. Life. Jesus. - Follow 02/17/2020

Full. Life. Jesus. - Follow If 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. /episode/index/show/lakehighlandschurch/id/13182134

Full. Life. Jesus. - There’s No Place Like Home 02/12/2020

Full. Life. Jesus. - There’s No Place Like Home In this scene we have a perfect representation of the whole ministry of Jesus—the prophecy of who he is, Jesus’ statement of fulfillment, wonder at the beauty of his life, disappoint with the fact that he doesn’t deliver the desired signs, unbelief and rejection, a call to repentance, the sending of the good news to the non-Jew, the sacrifice of Jesus on Calvary, and the divine escape in the resurrection. /episode/index/show/lakehighlandschurch/id/13123793

Full. Life. Jesus. - What If? 02/04/2020

Full. Life. Jesus. - What If? The testing of Jesus came right on the heels of the baptism, that amazing declaration of God that this was his son. And isn’t that often the case? Right after an exhilarating experience with God we find ourselves being tested. The keys for us in overcoming our temptations are found in how Jesus responded to his. But the big picture question is, what if? What if Jesus had given in? /episode/index/show/lakehighlandschurch/id/13014932

Full. Life. Jesus. - Your Father and I Have Been Worried Sick 01/28/2020

Full. Life. Jesus. - Your Father and I Have Been Worried Sick Far too often we want God to behave like a good deity should—to be there when we want him, to amaze us with his provision, to bail us out of tough spots, to show us his supernatural power when we can’t make things happen the way we want them to happen. Quite simply, we want him to fit into our box. But when we do that we are acting as the supreme being…which we are not! He is! /episode/index/show/lakehighlandschurch/id/12920669

(The Baptism) 01/22/2020

(The Baptism) Jesus has come to fulfill and complete what God started with Israel, to bring salvation to the world. His baptism is the beginning of the new exodus. Just as God brought the children of Israel out of Egypt, God was now bringing a new people out of an even older and darker slavery, slavery to sin. The new exodus is wider than just Israel, it is for the whole of creation. /episode/index/show/lakehighlandschurch/id/12846107
