Highland Gospel Mission

Greetings everyone, and may mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you. We will be in Luke 10 today. The Bible teaches us to love your neighbor as yourself. Yet most people carry false pretenses about specific groups of people, or come up with justifications to harbor specific feelings. The Pharisees were famous for doing this, and Jesus saw right through it. Our purpose in life isn’t supposed to be a self righteous individual, shutting out and judging everyone else. We are called to live like Jesus, and show compassion for others that we encounter every day. If Jesus hadn’t done that, we would all be in trouble. It’s not easy to be vulnerable, and you will get hurt in the process, but the end result is worth it.

“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28 19-20

Greetings everyone, and may mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you. We will be in 1 Timothy 3 today. Highland adopts a Southern Baptist denomination, but this denomination isn’t without issues. There are some churches that hold traditions that go contrary to actual scriptural doctrine. One example are the qualifications of pastors and deacons. Some people have been divorced in the past, and others have struggled with alcohol addiction. Neither of these automatically disqualifies anyone from being a pastor or a deacon. It has everything to do with how he currently conducts himself, and how he treats his wife and children. Whenever we apply additional rules as doctrine, we are basically saying God’s rules aren’t good enough, and that is wrong. God’s word is enough, we don’t need to add to it.

“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28 19-20

Greetings everyone, and may mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you. We will be in 1 Corinthians 5 today. How much has the world desensitized you? As the world continues to get worse and worse, the Church is starting to become numb to sin going on within the Church. When you become a Christian, you are expected to struggle, but you are a new creation, and should not be the same person you used to be. So even though things are getting worse, we shouldn’t concede to that being the new normal. Stand on the truth, and don’t compromise your beliefs just because it isn’t popular.

“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28 19-20

Greetings everyone, and may mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you. We will continue in 1 Corinthians 10 again today. We know from last week’s passage that the Israelites made many mistakes, and if we’re honest, we have made the same mistakes. As Christians, we are still fully capable of doing evil, but what makes us different is that we have the ability to choose otherwise. That doesn’t mean we will get it right every time, but just know that anything we put before God is just a cheap imitation that will have no lasting satisfaction. Because at the end of the day, it’s all about Jesus.

“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28 19-20

Greetings everyone, and may mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you. We will be in 1 Corinthians 10 today. Do you ever complain when you don’t get your way? I’m sure most of us have (I know I have). Maybe your paycheck wasn’t as big this week as you thought it would be, or maybe the coffee machine at the gas station was out. Or maybe half of your coworkers called out and you had to do extra work. Now these are valid modern problems, but our grumblings go back a long time, even to the Israelites. They complained about not having enough to eat, or limited choices, and as a result, a lot of them got sick and died. Our circumstances might not be as extreme, but if we’re relying on our own strength or modern comforts to get us through the day rather than rely on God, that’s idolatry. Life is gonna suck sometimes, and God knows that. So rather than repeat the mistakes of the Israelites and struggle through life, surrender it all to him, and trust in His promises.

“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28 19-20

Greetings everyone, and may mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you. We will be in Genesis 32 today. Sometime after Jacob moved his family, he wrestled with a man that ended up being God. Many of us wrestle God every day, but for the wrong reason. When Jacob wrestled with God, he wanted to be blessed with what God promised him, rather than wrestling to have God leave him alone. Whether you wrestle with him to take away past addictions, cut off toxic relationships, or to endure the hardships of this world, our struggle with God should bring us closer to Him.

“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28 19-20

Greetings everyone, and may mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you. We will be in 2 Timothy 4 today. Can we all agree it’s been a rough week? Most of the country is grieving, the enemy is rejoicing, and a lot of people are lost and don’t know what to do next. If you are seeking vengeance, just know that Charlie Kirk is now a Martyr, and God will avenge the evil that has come upon us. Any one of us could be next, but now is not the time to hide, or to hold hatred, because that doesn’t save souls. This is why Paul tells Timothy to be ready in season and out of season. Now is the time to step out in faith and share the truth, even if it kills us. Are you ready for it?

“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28 19-20

Greetings everyone, and may mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you. We will be in Acts 8 today. How many of you have been baptized? Many were " baptized” as a baby by sprinkling, but that doesn't do anything to save your soul. If our goal is to just baptize people, then all we're doing is giving everyone a bath without cleaning their spirit. Baptism doesn't save you, but what Jesus did for us does. So if you want to be baptized, you need to receive Jesus first and allow him to save you. The baptism is just a symbolic statement of faith. If you're ready to receive Jesus, what are you waiting for? Tomorrow is not guaranteed.

Greetings everyone, and may mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you. We will be in 1 Peter 3 today. If you are a believer in Christ, is it ok to intentionally sin? Afterall, Christ’s sacrifice covers all sins. NO!!! Even though we are still saved regardless, choosing to sin still affects those around us. When we come to be believers in Christ, our lives should transform, and our actions are supposed to be intentional for the purpose of others being saved. If we choose to do and speak evil things, we don’t stand a chance for others to listen to us. But if our actions reflect Christ's actions, people will take notice, and lives will change forever. We are inheriting a blessing, will you choose to use that blessing for the salvation of others, or so that you can keep on sinning?

Greetings everyone, and may mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you. We will be in 1 Peter 1 today. Who likes to suffer? If you’re a normal human, nobody likes to suffer. But as a Christian, if you are being faithful, suffering is pretty much a guarantee. All too often, we avoid suffering, but when we play it safe, others miss the opportunity to hear the Gospel. We aren’t supposed to be comfortable, and if that’s your goal in life, perhaps you’re not listening to the Holy Spirit. Life is going to be difficult, but when souls are saved as a result of your faithfulness, the suffering is worth it.

Don’t forget to pray for and encourage one another. As a reminder, members can donate online at tithe.ly, or through the tithe.ly mobile app. We have a podcast called “The Highland Gospel Mission” on Spotify, Google, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

“and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds,  not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near.” Hebrews 10: 24-25
