Highland Christian Church - January 30 2022 - Genesis - Cain, the Flood, Babel (Jason Garris)
December 28, 2022 18:00 - 38 minutes - 26.5 MBFrom the moment we turned our backs on God, the world took on a very different look from the Garden. Leaving the presence of God, the place we were made to live, opened the door for the unthinkable. The decision to be our own gods didn't free us. The decision to live our lives without God left us in chains.

December 28, 2022 18:00 - 36 minutes - 24.8 MBWe have heard that God made things good, but what we see in us and around us doesn't seem so good. We see hurt, abuses, sorrow, and death. How does the Scripture address pain and is there any hope?

The Two Builders
June 13, 2021 16:00 - 31 minutes - 21.9 MBParables The Two Builders Matthew 7:24-29 This parable comes at the very end of the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5, 6, 7). Jesus ends the sermon not with a pep talk or a funny story, but with a series of warnings. This parable is the final warning. Jesus says that the wise person is the one who not just listens to his words, but also does and that this is like a builder who builds their house on a solid foundation. Jesus says that the person who hears his words and doesn't do them is like ...
The Good Samaritan
June 06, 2021 16:00 - 39 minutes - 27 MBParables The Good Samaritan Luke 10:29-37 Until we recognize Jesus as our Good Samaritan, we will not understand how to be one. This story is often used to teach ethics. "Help anyone in need" tends to be where we go with this. While that is a true statement, this story can often be summed up as a "change your behavior" story WITHOUT proper context. Jesus is directly addressing a religious leader who has no intentions of learning from Jesus. We know that he set out to "trap" Jesus. Jes...
The Sower
May 30, 2021 16:00 - 42 minutes - 29.2 MBParables The Sower Luke 8:4-15 This parable ultimately lays out the work of the parable. The parable reveals how readily our hearts are to receive God's word. Jesus tells the story but then he actually explains the story. He doesn't always do that. And he only lets the disciples understand this story - which is interesting because it's recorded for us - so it makes clear God's desire for US to also understand the truth Jesus expresses in this story. The average public wouldn't have hea...

The Rich Fool
April 25, 2021 16:00 - 29 minutes - 20.2 MBParables The Rich Fool Luke 12:13-21 - The Parable of the Rich Fool. Jesus is inspired to tell this story because of a self-centered demand for justice. Jesus does not entertain the man's request, but Jesus DOES deal with the heart of the man's request: Greed. The story is A GREAT picture of our American culture. The man only speaks to himself (not his community or God), he does not think of his neighbor, and he becomes satisfied with HIS stuff. Only thing is, NONE of this man's life ...

The Get Out
March 28, 2021 16:00 - 36 minutes - 25.2 MBMiracles The Get Out Matthew 14:22-33 - Jesus has just fed the 5000 and Matthew says, “Immediately” Jesus gets his disciples out of there. John’s Gospel tells us why so quickly: “the people wanted to grab him and make him king.” Jesus puts the disciples on a boat to consider all that they had just seen and heard. Jesus, knowing the crowd didn’t get who He was and that his disciples were still slow to understand His identity – He goes to spend time with His Father. So the disciples are in t...
The Get Loose
March 21, 2021 16:00 - 38 minutes - 26.4 MBMiracles The Get Loose Luke 13:10-17 - Jesus sees a woman crippled by an evil spirit (Jesus actually tells us WHY this woman has been bent doubled over for 18 years – held in bondage by Satan). This DOES NOT MEAN all illness or disability is from Satan. In this specific instance, we know the reason – because Jesus lets us know. She is unable to even lift her head – lived a lifetime staring at the ground. Jesus calls out to her, touches her, and the text says, “She is loosed!” “Loosed” was a...
The Get Up
March 14, 2021 17:00 - 34 minutes - 23.5 MBMiracles The Get Up Luke 7:12-16 - This was an exceptionally sad encounter. A widow (having lost her husband), is leading a funeral procession for her now, dead son. As a woman and a widow, this was incredibly challenging as she had no form of safety or provision. The men in her life had died. This was a huge loss that probably stirred more than one question in the widow’s mind: “How will I survive? Will I survive? How will I continue on? Why does death seem to follow me around?” Thankfull...
The Get Down
March 07, 2021 17:00 - 35 minutes - 24.2 MBMiracles The Get Down Luke 5:17-26 - Miracles were a HUGE part of Jesus’ ministry… but why? Jesus spoke about the Kingdom of God breaking through and arriving and taking up space – Jesus’ miracles displayed and proved that He was binding up the enemy and that His Kingdom truly was invading! (Each week will have a similar intro to help our people understand that miracles were never the point – but they revealed something MORE!) In Luke 5:17-26 Jesus’ teaching and miracle stick together. The...
