Christians enjoy a great amount of freedom in the choices we can make, but the Apostle Paul reminds us that our love for others should take priority over our own preferences. If doing something we’re free to do causes another person to be drawn toward...

Is it okay for Christians to _________? That question is usually followed by various opinions and even disagreement or conflict. While the Bible is very specific in matters of sin and salvation, there are other aspects of life that Christians have...

As we grow in our faith, our eyes will be opened to the areas in our life that are still stuck in our old ways of sin. But with the help of the Holy Spirit, we can put aside our old ways, remove the footholds sin has in our life, step out of the...

Christ demonstrated love by laying his life down for our sake, even though we didn’t deserve it. While that love is a debt we can never repay, Jesus calls us to show sacrificial love to others as a response to the grace we’ve been given.

How should Christians interact with our city, state and federal governments? Paul’s letter to the Romans instructs followers of Jesus to be subject to governing authorities and show honor to those God has placed into positions of power. It can be...

Showing love to people who love us back is common, but what about the people who are against us? As people transformed by the gospel, we’re called to respond to persecution with love and service, and live lives of peace. When confronted by evil in the...

Jesus tells us that one quality above everything else will show the world that we’re his followers: love. While our world gives the word ‘love’ many meanings, Romans 12 paints a clear picture of what real, genuine Christian love looks like and how we...

The Bible compares the church to a body: one unified whole made up of many different parts or members, all working together for the glory of God. Each part of the church body is uniquely important as we’re called to use our God-given gifts and...

The world constantly works to conform us in many ways, from advertisements to political parties to social media algorithms. As Christians, God calls us to renew our minds daily - anchoring our attitude and mindset in Christ so that we can shine his...

God designed His church to be the hope of the world - a place built on the foundation of Jesus Christ with the mission of making disciples who follow Jesus in every aspect of their lives. Our vision at Highlands is a simple plan to fulfill that...

Sharing the gospel is something we can do with the people we already know, at the job we already work, and in the neighborhood we already live. We need to begin having conversations with the people around us and ask the Lord to open the door to...

All of us have a unique story to tell about how we’ve been saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. Our personal story of God working in our lives is a powerful way to share the gospel with others, and can help bring hope and encouragement to...

It can be hard to share our faith with others. Sometimes it’s because of our own insecurity, and sometimes it’s the result of spiritual forces opposed to the gospel working in the world. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, we’ve been empowered to...

The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the greatest news of hope for a broken world. Jesus entrusted this message to his followers to share amongst their friends, communities and throughout the world, and if you’re a Christian, you believe because someone...

God is faithful and always keeps His promises. Throughout the history of the nation of Israel, God has been working His plan of salvation through His chosen people. Even when it seems like the people in our lives might be beyond the reach of faith...
