Back in Romans this Sunday Romans 12:1-2
High Pointe, thank you for your generosity in sharing me with other churches for the work of the gospel here and abroad. Three weekends ago, I had the privilege of traveling to the United Arab Emirates to strengthen and encourage the Brannens and the brothers and sisters of Emmanuel Church in Fujairah as they gathered to celebrate their 10th Anniversary. The day before, we hosted local pastors and Christians for a one-day conference on Revelation 2-3. It was a joy to be with the brothers and meet other gospel workers in the Middle East.
On October 8, I had the joy of being with Emmaus Church in Georgetown to strengthen and encourage them as they celebrated their first anniversary. You will be glad to know the Lord is blessing them and gathering many to join in the work there. Please continue to pray for their second year of ministry together.
As I write this update, I am in the airport in Medellin, Colombia. Just this weekend, we welcomed over 1,800 Christians and pastors from throughout Colombia to study the book of Ecclesiastes. Then, on Sunday, I had the joy of preaching at El Redil der Sur church. It is a joy to be with the brothers and sisters in Medellin and in the church of El Redil. I may come to strengthen and encourage them, but they bless and minister to me each year we are able to spend together.
The opportunity to travel to strengthen and encourage brothers and sisters in other churches, both here and abroad, is an extension of YOUR ministry, High Pointe. Thank you for the privilege of representing you. Your name and reputation are known everywhere I go, and many brothers and sisters are praying for us.
Now, it is a joy to return to the pulpit this Sunday, Lord willing, and pick up where we left off in Romans. We will work through Romans 12:1-2, as we begin the portion of the letter where Paul begins to apply the thick theology he has shared to this point. I cannot tell you how excited I am to be back in the pulpit and with you this Sunday. Please pray for me as I prepare this week. And pray for all of us that the Lord would use our study of Romans to transform us.
Men’s Ministry BBQ Kickoff THIS Friday at 6:30 PM
Calling all the men of High Pointe! Craig Horton has assembled a men’s ministry team, and they have planned a fall kickoff for men’s ministry at High Pointe. Craig and his team have been meeting together and thinking through how best to encourage our men.
Join us on Friday, October 20 at 6:30 pm to fellowship, encourage one another, and learn about some of the plans the men’s ministry team have put together.
Austin Biblical Theology Workshop for Women with Nancy Guthrie | November 3 or 4, 2023
No matter how much you already know or don’t know about the Bible, if you’re a woman who wants to know your Bible better, this workshop is for you!
Do you ever read the Bible and have a sense that there is a deeper meaning or significance to what you are reading that you can’t quite figure out? Or do you sometimes wonder why some people have been able to draw things out of a passage in the Bible that you didn’t see until they pointed it out? If so, I hope you’ll make plans to come to a Biblical Theology Workshop for Women. Our aim will be to increase our Bible skills so that rather than being bored by, or intimidated by the Bible, we’ll become more intrigued by it, moved by it, more confident that we’re grasping what it is communicating to us.
Over three sessions, we’ll review the key events of the Bible’s story and the major sections of the Bible. I’ll demonstrate telling the story of the Bible through the lens of one of its important themes. We’ll work together on tracing a few themes through the various sections of the Bible. Then we’ll look at the opening of each of the Gospels and discover how a growing understanding of major biblical themes adds to our understanding when we see those themes arise in specific passages of the Bible. The three sessions will be energetic, interactive, and fun.
