I’ve never met anyone who is a fan of repentance. Perhaps it is because the word is misunderstood or mischaracterized? Whatever you think of repentance, it is clear that Jesus came to preach of its importance. Even more, Jesus came to preach repentance to those who thought they needed it the least… how about you? Join us as we hear this clarion call.

Jesus talks more about the kingdom of God than anything else. But what exactly is the kingdom of God? This morning we look at one of the most famous “why’s” of the Jesus story: to bring good news. Want you join us as we listen and embrace this reality of our discipleship?

Write On My Heart

When Jesus preached truth, people listened. But they didn’t always like or agree with his definition! Today we venture into the synagogue, take a seat, and listen as Jesus launches his mission to bring Israel the truth. And the response? Come and let’s decide together if we are willing to listen and follow the truth of Luke’s messy messiah.

This morning we travel with Jesus to Jericho and encounter a man named Zacchaeus. It is in this story that we find the clearest mission statement for Jesus: “the Son of Man came to seek out and to save the lost.” Join us as we renew our love for the Jesus story while being compelled to tell the story.

We conclude our series this morning by asking: What leaders among us are listening to the heart of God so they might be shaped into the image of God? Throughout the story of scripture, the leaders of God's people make a choice to listen and learn from God. Join us as we finalize our study and search for shepherds who listen.

We continue our series in preparation for our Elder selection process by inviting the wisdom of our friend Eddie Sharp. Eddie will help us see how God views leadership and how Shepherds are those who lead with sacrifice and service. Join us as we continue our search for shepherds who lead.

This morning we begin to unpack the heart of a shepherd and explore how the story of scripture characterizes those who "love the sheep." As the Highland Oaks Elders follow after God's heart for people, so the Elders commit to loving each member of the flock. Join us as we explore an ancient text for a present day need: shepherds who love.

Love is not a feeling or fleeting emotion. Love is the promise of God, who is with us and showing us a way to be in the world. Today we receive the gift of God's love, through the birth of the son. Today, through the story of bread and cup we discover love.
