Lessons from the Acts Manifesto: A Christian leader recently said, everywhere the early Christians went they started a riot, everywhere I go they serve tea. The first Christians were in jail often, they stirred up deep unrest everywhere they went, including at least half a dozen riots. So why does following Jesus today look so tame? So domesticated? In a world where people are walking away from Christianity because it's seen as boring, maybe we can learn more from these early Christians than just correct doctrine. Maybe we should relearn how to start a riot.

During the first half of September, 2008, Randy Harris spoke on a series of Wednesday nights about three people who have helped him explain and make sense of life: St. John of the Cross, St. Francis of Assisi, and St. Thérèse of Lisieux.

In May 2008, our entire church studied the importance of hospitality and welcoming strangers on our Christian journey together. At that point, for over a year we at Highland had been praying that God would make us into a more welcoming and hospitable people.
