This week, we kicked off our sermon series Established as we take a look at the different stories throughout 1 Samuel. This week, we looked at the story of Hannah and how she was barren but rooted in God and found His faithfulness amidst disappointment.

1 Samuel 1:1-2

Genesis 2:24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.
Matthew 19:4-6 He (Jesus) answered, “Have you not read that He who created them from the beginning made them male and female, 5 and said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? 6 So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.”

I SAMUEL 1:3-18

In this week's sermon, we discuss our best guess as to what the Lord is doing in and through Highland in 2026.

This week, Pastor John continued our Practicing sermon series with a message from 2 Corinthians 9 on the spiritual practice of generosity. We were reminded that generosity is the joyful use of all God has entrusted to us for His glory and the good of others. As God gives abundantly and shapes our hearts, He invites us to grow from reluctant giving into cheerful generosity.
