Many conditions of day to day living stand patiently by, waiting
to catch us at low moments in order to weigh us down and render us unproductive.
When
we are confronted with these negative feelings, we are not without help. Taking the time to stop and pray at the first sign
of discouragement is the first step toward regaining the freedom that God offers us. God can calm a troubled heart and ease
a worried mind.Looking forward toward what is to come in a positive, proactive way is the
best for our lives. Is it easy to do? For some, perhaps, yet for others this focus toward the new can be a great challenge.
As the sun sets for the final time in this year, we can choose to fly high
above the clouds, headed away from the past and into the future that God is directing us to.
A big part
of being an effective Minister of The Gospel of Jesus Christ is being a good listener. Do you think your listening skills
could use some improving? If you
are heavily engaged in an activity and someone comes to you unexpectedly, do one of two things. - Either
stop what you are doing and give them your full attention or
- ask them to please come back later
because you cannot be interrupted now. (read

Ask people why they
dont go to church and they will give you all kinds of reasons, among them: - "It is repetitious, predictable and a meaningless ritual. I would rather sleep in. I work hard all week and
I deserve it!" (Really??????)
- Why bother going to church when all they want is money!? (how
did you know this??)
- People who go to church
are a bunch of hypocrites! (what about you???)
God is at work at Church of the Highlands. If you haven't

fully devoted followers of Christ. This is the Church. Come and hear our pastor -Chris Hodges who
is known for his relevant teaching style and his passion for raising up leaders all around the world to fulfill the Great
Commission. Welcome..
There are difficult stages in our life where we usually we do not know
how to deal with them and thus we enter a vicious cycle of inactivity, low energy and bad mood. How can I change my life to
overcome these bad phases?
