Highland Baptist Church - Sermons

This week, we take a look at the letter written to the Galatians and peak into the study of our founding pastor 100 years ago.GALATIANS 6:11-15 PAUL THOUGHT HE HAD A LOT TO GLORY IN:  ANCESTRY, EDUCATION, MORALS, CITIZENSHIP, FUTURE PROSPECTS HOW DID IT SWITCH? NOT EASILY! BUT IT SWITCHED BY THE GOSPEL AND THE HOLY SPIRIT. WHY GLORY IN THE CROSS?1. IT IS WORTHY GLORY.2. IT IS ENDURING GLORY.3. IT IS OUR ONLY GLORY.4. IT IS ALL-SUFFICIENT GLORY.5. IT CARRIES US THROUGH DEATH AND JUDGMENT. HOW THE CROSS IMPACTS OUR LIVESWE ARE CRUCIFIED TO THE WORLD. I’m not a slave to the world anymore!THE WORLD IS CRUCIFIED TO US. The world does not own me anymore!

John preaches on the goodness of God from the book of Nahum, using a sermon from Highland's founding pastor.

This week John kicks off a sermon series on the faithfulness of God to His unfaithful people.

EZEKIEL 36:35-36 The nations around you will know that I, the Lord, have rebuilt what was destroyed, and have replanted what was desolate. I, the Lord, have spoken and I will do it! As we consider the King’s resurrection this morning, HOPE SHOWED UP IN A PLACE OF GRIEFJOHN 20:11-16 HOPE SHOWED UP IN A PLACE OF FEAR JOHN 20:19-20Locked doors are no barrier to a King who had just unlocked His own graveThe very thing the disciples were lacking was the very thing Jesus was offering. HOPE SHOWED UP IN A PLACE OF DOUBT JOHN 20:24-25 JOHN 20:26-29Thomas touched the resurrected Jesus for every doubter here.   HOPE SHOWED UP IN A PLACE OF DEATH JOHN 20:30-31 THE KING’S RESURRECTION MEANS HOPE FOR US NOT JUST BECAUSE HE LIVES, BUT WE CAN LIVE ALSO!

Remembering Jesus' return to Jerusalem before His crucifixion, we take a look at 5 different ways the Scriptures talk about our King.

In preparation for Holy Week, we look at how Melchizedek preceded Jesus as both king and high priest.

John concludes his sermon on the Trinity with a deep dive into the Holy Spirit.

As we continue our sermon series, God In Three, we take a look at the second person of the Trinity, the Son, Jesus.THIS PASSAGE STIRS OUR AFFECTIONS FOR GOD THE SON AND CAUSES US TO BE IN AWE OF GOD THE SON. COLOSSIANS 1:13-22 1. IN JESUS WE ARE PURCHASED AND PURIFIED V13-14 2. IN JESUS, THE TRIUNE GOD IS MADE VISIBLE 15a3. JESUS IS BOTH CREATOR AND RULER OF ALL CREATION 15b-16  Practically this means Jesus first in our lives!4. JESUS’ ATTRIBUTES SHOW THAT HE IS GOD 175. JESUS IS THE AUTHORITY OVER ALL WHO ARE IN CHRIST 18AW Tozer said, "To urge men and women to believe in a divided Christ is bad teaching. No one can receive half a Christ or a third of Christ or a quarter of the person of Christ. He is Lord and those who refuse Him as Lord cannot use Him as Savior."6. JESUS IS PREEMINENTLY RESURRECTED 187. JESUS IS FULLY (100%) GOD 198. JESUS ALONE IS OUR CROSS BEARER. 20-22

Pastor Jeremy Daniel continues our series on the Trinity with an exploration of the love that the Father has, not only for His Son, but for all of creation.

John begins a new sermon series diving into the Trinity, this week answering the question of who each person of the Trinity is and what they do.

In our final sermon in this series, we look one last time at our call to prayer and the weapon we have against the enemy.EPHESIANS 6:10-18Let’s grab 4 keys from this passage for victory this week: V10 IN A SPIRITUAL BATTLE YOUR STRENGTHS CAN BE LIABILITIES BECAUSE YOU FORGET TO LEAN INTO GOD’S MIGHT. V12 YOU ARE WRESTLING AT THE POINT OF BEING TEMPTED TO LIVE OUTSIDE OF THE GIFTS THAT YOU HAVE IN CHRIST JESUS. V11, 13-17 THE ARMOR OF GOD IS NOT A COSTUME, IT IS A VERBAL REHEARSAL OF WHAT IS TRUE ABOUT YOUR SALVATION.WHERE YOUR SALVATION HAS FORTIFIED YOU, SATAN CANNOT INJURE YOU. V18  PRAYER IS DESCRIBED AS SEEKING GOD’S FAVOR (EX 32:11), POURING OUT OUR SOUL TO GOD (1 SAM 1:15), CRYING OUT TO HIM (2 CHRON 32:20), DRAWING NEAR TO GOD (PS 73:28), AND KNEELING BEFORE THE FATHER (EPH 3:14)

We have a great opportunity and responsibility in prayer. As we continue to dive into Ephesians 6, we learn the when, what, how, and for whom.WE TEND TO SEE OUR PROBLEMS AND DAILY STRUGGLES IN NON-SPIRITUAL TERMS, AND BECAUSE OF THAT, WE SEEK NON-SPIRITUAL SOLUTIONS.OUR BIGGEST PROBLEMS ARE ACTUALLY SPIRITUALLY-ROOTED.EPHESIANS 6:10-18EPHESIANS 6:18PRAYER IS THE DIVINELY AUTHORIZED MECHANISM GOD HAS GIVEN US TO TAP INTO HIS POWER.18 Four alls of prayer -  praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints, THE WHEN OF PRAYER – 18 AT ALL TIMESTHERE IS NOTHING THAT WILL HAPPEN IN YOUR LIFE TO WHICH PRAYER WOULD NOT BE THE APPROPRIATE RESPONSE. THE WHAT OF PRAYER – 18 ALL PRAYER AND SUPPLICATIONSWE CANNOT ASK FOR TOO MUCH FROM GOD.THE HOW OF PRAYER – 18 WITH ALL PERSEVERANCEWHAT LESSON MIGHT GOD ONLY TEACH THROUGH YOU ENDURING IN PRAYER? THE FOR WHOM OF PRAYER – 18 FOR ALL THE SAINTS

We must know our enemy and know how to stand firm. This week, we ask what is the armor of God and how do we put it on?

In this week's sermon, we see what we are truly wrestling against. Not the things seen, but what is unseen.

How do we fight against our enemy? We must know our enemy and where we should stand.
