-
The Lines Of Parenthood
• 1. Boundaries protect the promise The promise given over Samson did not arrive without limits. God’s gifts carry a holy shape, and the boundary line keeps the promise from being handled like common ground. A home that keeps the same reply, even after pressure comes, teaches children that...
-
What Every Child Needs
Hebrews 11 starts Moses’ story before Moses ever makes a decision. The text says, “By faith, Moses’ parents hid him,” not by fear, not by panic, but by faith. Moses’ parents, Jochebed and Amram, saw that he was “no ordinary child,” and their faith protected him from the king’s edict before Moses...
-
Listen To Him
Exodus 28 and 39 put the high priest in garments that were not somebody’s good idea. The repeated line, “as the Lord commanded,” keeps saying that God gave explicit instruction because every thread, stone, color, and place pointed to Jesus. The blue, purple, scarlet, fine linen, and gold spoke of...
-
Becoming A Warrior
Psalm 128 opens with a blessed house, a happy house, where the fear of the Lord means the knowledge of the Lord and a life that walks in His ways. The text puts children “like olive plants all around your table,” and that picture slows everything down. The olive tree can grow in rocky soil…
more -
You Have The Advantage
The advantage comes first as a declaration that God’s people already know, but still need affirmed in the Word: if God is for His people, nothing standing against them has the final word. David’s charge to Solomon in 1 Kings 2 sets the whole thing up, because David is at the end of his life and...
-
Testing And Teaching
Judges 2 and 3 show Israel in the promised land, but not with every enemy cleaned out. God says He will no longer drive out the nations Joshua left, because through them He will “test Israel” and teach the generations “to know war.” God lets some things stay in the land, not because He forgot…
more -
Liars And Lions
First Kings 13 stands up and says obedience is not optional. Jeroboam lifts his hand at a pagan altar, and God sends a man from Judah with a laser‑specific word, naming Josiah three centuries early. The altar splits, the ashes pour out, the king’s arm withers and then is healed at prayer. The…
more -
250 Years of God's Faithfulness
Psalm 67 lifts the frame: God has been gracious so that his way may be known on the earth and his saving power among all nations, and America has stood under that assignment. King George III’s taxation squeezed the colonies, and the oppression gathered the New England, Mid-Atlantic, and Southern...
-
Who Told You!
Jude 9 pulls back the curtain. The enemy contends for Moses’ body, not because a corpse has power, but because a shrine can steal focus. A tiny shift in focus can warp a generation. The mouth sings about God, but the heart fixates on platforms, personalities, and gear. God buries Moses to guard...
-
Fish Stories
Jesus in Luke 5 shows how grace lands. Jesus steps into Peter’s boat and turns his work into a platform. The gifts look like bread at the feeding of the five thousand, same substance, different shapes and sizes, and Jesus uses each in the shape it comes. When a man gives Jesus his boat, Jesus…
more -
Today's The Day
“Today is the day” stands up as the claim, and God is shown as the God of today. A sunken treasure and a dockside sign preach it: for sixteen years, Mel Fisher sent crews out under one line, “Today is the day,” until the mother lode was found. That picture trains the heart to live in God’s now....
-
Seasons
Seasons sits on the front row of Scripture and everyday life. Ecclesiastes says every purpose has a time, so the text insists that nothing down here stays the same and that God sets the clock. Joseph’s story then proves it. His coat marks a call. His pit exposes betrayal. Potiphar’s house and...
-
For Freedom
The call to remember steers the whole room. Memory refuses to let today be ruled by today’s mood. The memorial of Christ’s sacrifice says freedom was won long before the current headache, so present chaos does not get to be the boss. The song’s refrain I’m free, I’m free, I’m free points the eyes...

Mother's Day
We face a clear call to build the protective wall around what God has given us. We see the Nehemiah pattern: God places each person beside their own house, and the work begins right where life already happens. We will not chase title or comfort; we will accept the position God assigns and bring…
more -
ALIVE PT.2
First Thessalonians, Second Thessalonians, and Revelation frame a call for a spiritually vibrant remnant that endures until Christ gathers the alive and remaining. Scripture defines being alive as more than physical breathing; it describes those filled with light, engaged with the Holy Spirit…
more -
Confidence In My Calling
John chapter one unfolds as a call to confidence in following Jesus. John the Baptist points to Jesus as “the Lamb of God,” and two of his disciples leave him to “come and see,” modeling a decisive reorientation of allegiance. The narrative contrasts human applause and crowded followings with the...
-
Against All Odds
Resurrection Sunday frames a theology of possibility that refuses to be governed by human probability. Faith functions not by denying difficulty but by refusing to bow to odds, treating belief as the rope between earth and heaven that enables impossible climbs. Scripture scenes become practical...
-
Teaching Your Family In The Last Days PT.3
Families receive a clear, urgent charge to ground life in Scripture and to live with the expectation of Christ’s return. The Bible stands as the decisive authority for belief and behavior; everything that does not line up with Scripture must be tested against it. The world’s headlines point to...
-
Teaching Your Children In The Last Days Pt.2
Second Chronicles 15 and Revelation 3 anchor a call to spiritual readiness rooted in persistent relationship with God. The Lord stays with those who stay with Him; blessing flows as an exchange, and forsaking God yields the loss of His protective presence. Overcoming matters: Scripture repeatedly...
-
Teaching Your Children In The Last Days
The world now fits the Bible’s description of the last days: wars, rumors of wars, natural disasters, moral decay, deception, and lawlessness. Parents must reclaim primary responsibility for teaching children what Scripture says about these times rather than allowing social media, movies, or...
-
Clean Heart In A Toxic World
Worship serves as both armor and engine for spiritual life, shaping an atmosphere that invites harvest and invites God’s work. Worship functions as a weapon when words carry meaning and faith; intentional praise breaks up hardened ground and prepares soil for spiritual growth. The world injects...
-
Holy Relationships
Holy relationships rest on three practical, biblical foundations: trust, honor, and love. Trust appears as bold, secure confidence that creates safety and the freedom to be one’s true self; it grows only through truth, transparency, and time. When trust breaks, offenders cannot prescribe the...
-
We Win
Practical theology moves from assurance to action: do all things for God’s glory (1 Corinthians 10:31) so that ordinary routines—washing dishes, working a job, attending practices—become the arena of transformation. Justification is depicted with a vivid image: Christ’s covering stops the leaks…
more -
I Am With You
God’s presence is presented as a decisive, militant reality rather than a distant consolation. Isaiah 41:10 anchors the teaching: “Fear not, for I am with you,” with the Hebrew emak explained as God being deployed alongside his people in battle formation. Presence is unpacked across three Hebrew...
-
Lord, I Need You
Human life is not designed for radical self-sufficiency; dependence on God is the core posture that secures peace, purpose, and protection. The narrative traces the danger of modern independence back to Eden: the temptation was not simply about fruit but about becoming independent of God....
-
Approaching God
A call to radical commitment closes the address: the kingdom needs those willing to be “first in, last out,” prepared to fight, sacrifice, and minister with the authority learned in prayer. The gathered community is urged to make the main thing the main thing—separating the name of Jesus in year...
-
It All Starts With God
“It all starts with God.” The opening line from Genesis frames the entire year ahead: not advice, not commands—God. Before time existed, before chaos swirled, before life appeared, God already was—so every true beginning must start with Him. Creation does not explain God; God explains creation....
-
Let Go And Let God
Anchored in Psalm 42, the call is to name discouragement honestly and then choose where to place hope. “Now I am deeply discouraged, but I will remember You” becomes a pattern for moving into a new year: lament without getting stuck, and praise God anyway. There is an acknowledgment that many...
-
The Christmas Soul
Today I traced the surprising, grace-soaked journey of “O Holy Night” and how God loves to use unexpected people to carry His beauty into the world. A French socialist poet, a Jewish composer, and an American abolitionist each helped birth and spread this carol—evidence that the gifts and…

O Little Town Of Bethlehem
“O Little Town of Bethlehem” helped me name what’s happening in Luke 2: the sacred hiddenness of God’s work. The Almighty did not stage a spectacle in Rome; He came quietly into a stable in a town most mapmakers would skip. That quiet is not absence; it’s holiness. And the Incarnation is a...
-
Joy To The World
Joy is possible, and it has a protocol: praise. Isaiah 61 promises a “garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness.” God hands us the garment; we choose to put it on. Often the natural act of praise unlocks the supernatural exchange of heaviness for joy. Gratitude doesn’t follow joy; gratitude...
-
Heart Of Gratitude
I walked us through 2 Samuel 6 to fix our hearts on the one thing that matters most: His presence. Obed-Edom’s house was blessed, not because he had the right resume or resources, but because the Ark—the manifest presence of God—was there. That is still the center of life with God: not gold,...
-
Residue Of Gratitude
Gratitude is not just a seasonal feeling or a polite response—it is the very key that opens the door to God’s presence and unlocks the fullness of our relationship with Him. Psalm 100 teaches us that we are to “enter His gates with thanksgiving,” and this is not just a suggestion, but a spiritual...
-
Gratitude
Gratitude is not just a seasonal practice, but a foundational command woven throughout Scripture. Psalm 136 reminds us to “give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His mercy endures forever.” This call to thanksgiving is not for God’s benefit, but for ours—it keeps our hearts aligned, protects us...
-
Hand Of God
In the midst of a long list of names in 1 Chronicles 4, the story of Jabez stands out—a man whose life was marked by pain from birth, yet who refused to let that pain define him. Named by his mother as a reminder of her suffering, Jabez carried a label that could have limited his vision, his…
more -
Sometimes
In Matthew 16, Jesus asks His disciples a pivotal question: “Who do you say that I am?” The world has many opinions about Jesus, but what truly matters is the revelation we receive and confess about Him ourselves. While others may be divided or confused, God calls us to clarity and conviction....

The Battle Of Discouragement
Highest Praise Church | Mid-Week Service | Pastor Sherwood Lancaster

The Faith To Forgive
Freedom is not just a distant hope but a present reality for those who are willing to walk in forgiveness. The story of Abraham and Lot reveals the power of letting go, even when wronged. Abraham, though entitled to the best land, allowed Lot to choose first, demonstrating a heart that trusted...
-
Truths That Transform Our Life
On this special day of honoring those who have led and shaped our spiritual journey, it’s important to remember the deep truths that have transformed lives—not just through words, but through the lived example of faithfulness and surrender. Looking at the story of Moses in Exodus 3, we see that...
-
Steps The Enemy Uses
Today’s focus is on the reality of spiritual influence—both dark and light—and the steps the enemy uses to gain ground in our lives. While many avoid talking about demonic influence, ignoring it only gives it more power. As believers, we are owned by the Lord and cannot be possessed by the enemy,...
