Ep #112 Jericho Junction

Every one of us eventually comes to a crossroads in life: a moment where a decision must be made. Sometimes those choices affect our future here on earth...and sometimes they affect eternity itself. Today, we continue our Walk with Jesus as He arrives in Jericho. Sitting along the roadside is a blind man named Bartimaeus. He is desperate, overlooked, and seemingly without hope. Yet when Jesus passes by, Bartimaeus is faced with a choice: remain where he is...or cry out in faith. In Mark 10:46–52, we witness one of the most powerful encounters in Scripture. Through the response of this blind man, we discover timeless truths about faith, persistence, surrender, and what it truly means to follow Jesus. What will you do when you come to your own crossroads?

Ep #111 Who Then Can Be Saved?

Jim returns as we continue our Walk with Jesus, arriving at the famous account of the rich young ruler who asks the question, “What must I do to inherit eternal life?” At first glance, Jesus’ answer can almost seem contradictory to the rest of Scripture. But when we look deeper at what was really happening, the meaning becomes clear. Does keeping the Ten Commandments make it happen? Is doing more good than bad the key? Or is sacrificing worldly possessions the pivotal moment that grants us this treasure? Or could it be even simpler? Join us as we explore these questions and more in “Who Then Can Be Saved?” High Forest Community Church www.highforestchurch.com Recorded: 5/17/26 For more information on how you can be certain of having eternal life, please contact us at info@highforestchurch.com Our other links: Facebook: facebook.com/profile.php?id=61552868390256&mibextid=JRoKGi YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@highforestcommunitychurch Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5l3baJZMvOJLYutaMDoVnv Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hfcc-christ-centered-hope-for-todays-world/id1753425592?i=1000673790907 Rumble: https://rumble.com/user/HighForestChurch We are a Bible-Based, Jesus Only small community church located in rural South-East Minnesota.

Ep #110 For the Love of a Wife

Today, on this special Mother’s Day message, Gary explores the beauty, value, and God-given role of women from a biblical perspective. From the very beginning of creation, God established woman with dignity, purpose, and significance. As we journey through Scripture, we also discover God’s compassion and provision for those facing difficult circumstances, revealing His heart for family, love, and redemption. This encouraging and thought-provoking message reminds us that God’s design for relationships is intentional, meaningful, and deeply connected to His greater plan for our lives as we explore “For the Love of a Wife.” High Forest Community Church www.highforestchurch.com Recorded: 5/10/26 For more information on how you can be certain of having eternal life, please contact us at info@highforestchurch.com Our other links: Facebook: facebook.com/profile.php?id=61552868390256&mibextid=JRoKGi YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@highforestcommunitychurch Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5l3baJZMvOJLYutaMDoVnv Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hfcc-christ-centered-hope-for-todays-world/id1753425592?i=1000673790907 Rumble: https://rumble.com/user/HighForestChurch We are a Bible-Based, Jesus Only small community church located in rural South-East Minnesota.

Ep #109 Embracing God's Plans

Every single one of us have experienced times in our lives where we have petitioned God in prayer...only to seemingly be met with silence. We seek Him over and over, perhaps even resorting to pleading over understanding what is going on, and yet no answer seems to come. But what if God has a plan that far exceeds what our mind can even handle? What if, what God is doing, is so far beyond our comprehension that we cannot even fathom the depths of details He has put in motion for a greater good? Today, we enter the often-missed book of Habakkuk. Here we see this very idea put into motion: a prophet of God, pleading for an answer, but when he gets it, he cannot even being to understand how God could work that way. Today, John Grams delivers an impactful message that will certainly give you some practical steps to this area of your life, and you are sure to come away with a new avenue in "Embracing God's Plans" High Forest Community Church www.highforestchurch.com Recorded: 5/3/26 For more information on how you can be certain of having eternal life, please contact us at info@highforestchurch.com Our other links: Facebook: facebook.com/profile.php?id=61552868390256&mibextid=JRoKGi YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@highforestcommunitychurch Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5l3baJZMvOJLYutaMDoVnv Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hfcc-christ-centered-hope-for-todays-world/id1753425592?i=1000673790907 Rumble: https://rumble.com/user/HighForestChurch We are a Bible-Based, Jesus Only small community church located in rural South-East Minnesota.

Ep # 108 Lessons for Disciples from Jesus' Hometown

As we continue our walk with Jesus on His journey back to Jerusalem, we come across a moment that feels all too familiar… the disciples arguing among themselves about who is the greatest. In Gospel of Mark 9, Jesus uses this moment to turn their thinking upside down, saying, “If anyone would be first, he must be last of all and servant of all.” Humility does not come naturally to us… yet it is essential to the Christian life. Jesus goes even further, pointing to something unexpected: a child. In doing so, He reveals what a true servant’s heart looks like… not driven by status or recognition, but marked by humility, dependence, and genuine love for others. Today, Jim Barnhart walks us through three practical lessons from this conversation just outside of Capernaum, helping us see what it really means to follow Christ… not by striving for greatness, but by embracing a life of humble service in today's message titled "Lessons for Disciples from Jesus' Hometown" High Forest Community Church www.highforestchurch.com Recorded: 4/26/26 For more information on how you can be certain of having eternal life, please contact us at info@highforestchurch.com Our other links: Facebook: facebook.com/profile.php?id=61552868390256&mibextid=JRoKGi YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@highforestcommunitychurch Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5l3baJZMvOJLYutaMDoVnv Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hfcc-christ-centered-hope-for-todays-world/id1753425592?i=1000673790907 Rumble: https://rumble.com/user/HighForestChurch We are a Bible-Based, Jesus Only small community church located in rural South-East Minnesota.
