God does heal! We all need spiritual healing, emotional and sometimes physical healing. God's truth of light is what heals our darkness.

In this message we’re going to consider Jesus’ Parable of the Budding Fig Tree and see what it teaches us about the kingdom of God.

“Take a lesson from the fig tree. From the moment you notice its buds form, the merest hint of green, you know summer’s just around the corner. So it is with you: When you see all these things, you’ll know he’s at the door. Don’t take this lightly. I’m not just saying this for some future generation, but for all of you. This age continues until all these things take place. Sky and earth will wear out; my words won’t wear out.

“But the exact day and hour? No one knows that, not even
heaven’s angels, not even the Son. Only the Father knows.”
Jesus in , MSG

“In the New Testament the kingdom is affirmed to have come and
yet it lies in the future. It is just about to happen and still far off.
There are signs, but the timing of the fulfillment of the
kingdom is to us unknown and unknowable.”
Theologian Kenneth Bailey, Jesus through Middle Easter Eyes, P115

“The trees are coming into leaf
Like something almost being said…”
The Trees, Philip Larkin

Happy Easter 2015! Chris Hodges shares that our lives are filled with pain, suffering, heartache, and even death, but there is a miracle of heaven waiting for all believers. Jesus shared this truth over and over again! Instead of being earth focus, God is calling all to be heavenly focused. All rights belong to Church of the Highlands.

“After four years of hiding my faith from my family, I knew that it was time. I wrote with shaky hands, ‘Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior. I refuse to deny him….’ There was no turning back now. I had to get out of that house if I wanted to live. Was this worth risking everything for? Yes.”

Rifqa Bary grew up in a devout Muslim home, obediently following her parents’ orders to practice the rituals of Islam. But God was calling her to freedom and love. He was calling her to true faith. He was calling her to give up everything.

Leaving Islam for Christianity cost her more than she imagined
but gave more than she could have dreamed.

Hiding in the Light is the story of Rifqa’s remarkable spiritual journey from Islam to Christianity. It is also the untold story of how she ran from her father’s threats to find refuge with strangers in Florida, only to face a controversial court case that reached national headlines. Most of all, it is the story of a young girl who made life-changing sacrifices to follow Jesus—and who inspires us to do the same.
