Christian Citizenship - Part 1

Christian Citizenship - Part 1

Join Pastor John Brock in a new message series: Christian Citizenship: Politics, Patriotism, and the Power of the Gospel. In a culture filled with political division, competing ideologies, and constant noise, how can followers of Jesus faithfully navigate their role as citizens without losing sight of their greater calling? In this series, we will explore what Scripture teaches about living as ambassadors for Christ in a fallen world. We’ll discover how to engage our communities with gratitude, influence our culture with truth, share the hope of the gospel, and remain rooted in our identity as citizens of God’s eternal kingdom. Join us as we learn what it means to be Christian citizens and how God has placed us where we are for His purposes and His glory.

Highland on Mission - Dr. Roger Mardis

What does it look like to be a church on mission? In this powerful message from the book of Jonah, guest preacher Dr. Roger Mardis challenges us to see God’s heart for the nations and our responsibility to respond in obedience. Through Jonah’s story, we discover that God sees the great needs of people far from Him, pursues His people when they run from His call, offers second chances, and uses praying and preaching to accomplish His purposes. Join us as we learn how God is calling Highland to be on mission—across the street and around the world—with the life-changing message of His grace.

May 24, 2026 - River Sunday (Spiritual Memorials)

Pastor John Brock challenges us in “Spiritual Memorials” from Book of Joshua 4:1–7 to remember the mighty works of God and faithfully pass His truth to the next generation. Just as Israel set up stones from the Jordan River as a lasting testimony, this message explores how spiritual markers in our lives remind us of God’s faithfulness, strengthen our worship, and help preserve a personal faith for our children and grandchildren. Through powerful biblical truth, moving historical reflections, and practical application, this Memorial Day message calls believers to honor both the sacrifices that secured our freedom and the Savior who secured our salvation.

NextGen Sunday - David Ivester

In this Next Gen Sunday message, David Ivester, student pastor at Highland Baptist Church challenges every generation to live faithfully by praising God for who He is, intentionally passing down their faith, and modeling a genuine walk with Christ. Rooted in Psalm 145, he emphasizes the vital role of older generations in sharing both victories and struggles so the next generation can see God’s faithfulness firsthand. The message calls believers to cherish God’s grace, clearly communicate the “why” behind their faith, and live lives marked by faithfulness that point others to Christ. Ultimately, a faithful generation is one that praises the Lord with their lives and ensures His works are known from one generation to the next.

Unashamed - Part 10

Today, Pastor John Brock shares Part 10 of a sermon series called Unashamed: Stand, Guard, and Endure. The Book of 2 Timothy is the apostle Paul’s final letter and calls believers to courageous, faithful living. In a world of pressure, compromise, and uncertainty, we are challenged to stand firm in Christ, guard the truth of the gospel, and endure faithfully to the end. This series invites the church to live unashamed of the faith we have received and the hope we proclaim.
