All of us will periodically come to crossroads in our lives - places where we must continue to move forward despite our fears.
🎓 @pastorsherwoodlancaster

Never give up. Never let go. Never back down. Hold on and trust God. @pastorsherwoodlancaster

What’s your favorite thing about MDWK? See you at 6:30pm! 🙌🙌🙌

We can do it. We can take it down. We can face it. We can speak it. And we can take it down with the gifts that God has given us. There is hope for us all because it’s not about us. It’s about Him. There is hope for our children because His plan for them is still the same plan He’s always had. It’s a plan for a hope and a future. Our cause is to restore His rightful place in our lives and in our homes so that all will see the glory of God 🔥 -Pastor Kim Lancaster

Women of God are not called to be cultural ➡️➡️ We are called to biblical! -Pastor Kim Lancaster

Join us for a very special Mother’s Day service as we honor and celebrate the amazing mothers and mother-figures in our lives. We’ll have a gift from our flower market just for every mom! 💐

Let’s make this a day to cherish and uplift the women God has placed in our lives. We can’t wait to celebrate Mother’s Day with you! Join us at 9am and 10:45am on the corner of Red Bug Road and Hwy 17. See you soon!

Perceiving and declaring God’s promises activates His power in your life. It’s not enough to hear about God’s new thing—you must recognize it, agree with it, and speak it over your life. When your words align with God’s Word, faith is activated and the atmosphere shifts. Stop rehearsing the problems and start declaring the promises, and you’ll see God move in ways you never imagined. @_jordanlancaster_

Here’s a list of powerful reminders from @_jordanlancaster_ to take into your week. 🔥💯
•Declare boldly what God has spoken.
•Align your words with His promises.
•Trust in God’s new thing happening IN YOU.
•Embrace the present work He’s doing in you now, even if it’s uncomfortable.
•Prepare today for what God will do tomorrow.

What can I say except you’re welcome. 😁 🎶

Mother’s Day is just around the corner and we will be honoring all moms in attendance with a fresh bouquet of flowers. (And yes our DIY station will be in full effect! 💐) Make sure to bring your mom, so she can be reminded of just how special she is!

See you there!

This last Sunday was incredible as we celebrated lives transformed through baptism! Each testimony, each step into the water, was a powerful declaration of faith and a reminder that in Christ, we are made new. 🙌

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! 2 Corinthians 5:17

Baptism is more than just water — it’s a powerful symbol of faith, hope, and the grace that transforms us. It’s the outward expression of an inward change and a public declaration that we follow Jesus.
This Sunday, we celebrate those taking this next step of obedience! Join us for Baptism Sunday at 9:00 AM and 10:45 AM — we can’t wait to celebrate together.

Make a declaration of your faith! There’s still time to register on the church center app 🙌

Enjoy time with family and friends—there’s no MDWK tonight.
👀 But this Sunday…
Join us for Baptism Sunday! 🙌🙌 If you’re ready to make a public declaration and share with the world the new life you have in Jesus, there’s still time to register!

If you find yourself in a night season, just hang on! The morning is on its way. ⛅️

On day three, everything changed. Jesus is alive! 🙌🙌🙌

Even in the darkest hours, when all hope seems lost, resurrection is already on its way. Hold on. Do not be afraid. God’s not done yet. Sunday is coming.

Before the fancy lights, LED walls, and loud music… before the friends and family dinners, egg hunts, Easter baskets, and dressing in our Sunday best… before the celebrations… we remember this declaration: By His stripes, we are healed. Because of the cross and the power of His blood, we are redeemed. Above everything else, we lift up the name of Jesus.

On Good Friday, we reflect on the power of the cross. On Easter, we rejoice! Because of Jesus, everything changes - darkness to light, sorrow to joy, death to life.
He hung on the cross with you in mind. Let that truth sink in. This weekend, pause. Reflect. Meditate on what Jesus did — because through that sacrifice, everything changes!

We have the best. community. ever. 💯 Join us for Easter and beyond! 🙌 There’s always a lot going on around here and we would love to have you right in the middle of it all.

She may have given up on filming outside, but Jesus will never give up on you.

Genuine praise challenges the status quo and threatens the enemy’s control. Our praise is a powerful weapon that signals the enemy’s defeat and strengthens our faith. @pastorsherwoodlancaster

You can’t just observe God. We are changed by participation, not by observation. @pastorsherwoodlancaster

What if a simple invite could change everything for someone? Easter is not just a celebration, it’s a declaration that everything can be made new. It’s a time to remember the power of the Resurrection and the new life that’s available in Jesus. 💛

We must choose to listen to the voice of faith rather than the voice of the enemy. Jesus reminds us of our identity in Him and calls us to trust in His promises, even when circumstances seem impossible. By focusing on His voice, we can overcome fear and embrace who He has called us to be. The choice to listen to faith over fear is a daily decision that shapes our life.

Whether it’s their first time stepping through the doors or they’re returning to rediscover their faith, Easter is a powerful reminder that everything can be made new. It’s not just about celebrating the Resurrection—it’s a declaration of new life we have in Jesus!
This Easter, let’s be bold in inviting those around us to experience the joy, peace, and renewal that comes with this season.. Because when we invite others into the Easter story, we’re not just inviting them to an event—we’re offering them the chance for a new chapter, a new heart, and a new life. 💛
Who will you invite to experience the life-changing power of the Resurrection?

Good news! It’s DAY THREE! Jesus is alive!

Easter yard signs went out last Sunday!! 🙌 Have you seen any in your neighborhood this week?!

Easter at Highest Praise is in just a few weeks!! Inviting a friend IS advancing the Kingdom of God. We’re going to be sharing more ways to spread the good news tomorrow! 📰

This month’s Volunteer Spotlight is shining bright on Greg and Kathy Smith!

Greg and Kathy are involved in so many areas of our ministry, including leading our “Experiencing God” life groups. From discipleship and teaching to organization and prayer, they faithfully serve our church community each week. We are so blessed to have them at Highest Praise Church.

As our Spring Life Groups wrap up, we want to take a moment to express how incredibly grateful we are for EVERY life group leader this season. We’ve heard so many testimonies of growth and encouragement from those who’ve participated.

Thank you, Greg and Kathy! And thank you to all our Life Group leaders!

Confidence is a vital component of our spiritual journey and daily life. It is the assurance that we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us, as stated in Philippians 4:13. This confidence is not arrogance but a humble assurance in God’s power and promises. It is a weapon of war, an indispensable instrument in the battle of life and destiny. When we walk in confidence, we are not swayed by the opinions of others but are anchored in what God says about us. @pastorsherwoodlancaster

Welcome to the family, Whittingtons! We are so glad you’re here and can’t wait to see how God moves! 🔥 HP Church, give a big welcome to our new worship leader @ross_whitt 🙌

Confidence in God is the backbone of every victory. It’s faith on the inside and courage on the outside. @pastorsherwoodlancaster

Just a reminder that you make Highest Praise Church more than a building. We love Sundays and we love Sundays with you. We can’t wait to come together and worship, hear an incredible message, and be a part of the best community ever. See you tomorrow!

To worship God is to embrace the radiance of His holiness, where His beauty fills our hearts with awe, and His presence brings peace beyond understanding. In the presence of His holiness, we are reminded of the splendor that radiates from His being ➡️ pure, unblemished, and full of glory. God’s holiness is not just a divine attribute but the very essence that transforms our hearts, drawing us closer to His perfect love and wisdom. As we worship, we are humbled by the overwhelming beauty of His holiness, a beauty that is far beyond our understanding and brings peace to every circumstance.

As you go about your day, take a moment to meditate on God’s holiness and remember His faithfulness.

Caleb’s consistency over 45 years is a model for us. Consistency in our faith and actions is crucial for inheriting God’s promises. We must remain steadfast, even when faced with challenges, as these are often indicators that we are in the right place, fulfilling God’s will.

The strength that brought you out of your struggles is the same strength that will lead you into your promises 🔥🔥 @_jordanlancaster_

You never know which moment in His presence will become the thing that changes everything. Show up expecting God to meet you this Sunday. 👀

Let’s start testimony chain. 🔗 Share a moment the Lord changed everything for you in the comments.

The heart is the wellspring of life, influencing every decision and emotion. Caleb’s story reminds us that a guarded heart is essential for living a life aligned with God’s promises. Proverbs 4:23 emphasizes the importance of protecting our hearts, as everything we do flows from it. Caleb’s unwavering faith, even at 85, shows that the promises of God are sustained in our hearts long before they manifest in our lives. By guarding our hearts, we protect ourselves from discouragement, offense, and doubt, which can prevent us from inheriting what God has planned for us.  “Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life.” Proverbs 4:23

Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. 📖 Matthew 18:19

Community is vital to growing in Jesus. God’s people are called to assemble together. This gathering is essential for receiving divine instructions and for spiritual growth. It is in the assembly that we are stirred up in love and good works.

Join us tonight for MDWK at 6:30pm! We can’t wait to see you there 🙌🙌🙌

Being planted in the church is not just about attending services; it’s about being part of a community that seeks to embody God’s character, nature, and heart. It’s about allowing God to plant His desires in our lives, leading to spiritual growth and transformation. As we remain rooted in the church, we will flourish and experience the fullness of God’s promises.

Sunday reflection:
What does it mean to be planted? 🌱

Being planted in the house of the Lord means being rooted in a community of believers where we can grow spiritually and bear fruit. This rootedness allows us to flourish and experience God’s blessings in our lives.

What was your favorite takeaway from today’s message?!

🎶🎶🎶I cannot explain, but nothing’s more real than this
In the presence of God, oh, what my hеart expereincеd
When my shame hit the wayside
And my sin met the Most High🎶🎶🎶

New live worship moment up on YouTube. As you listen, remember the experience you had when you first encountered God. If you’ve never had that experience, He’s waiting for you right now to call on His name. Let His presence change your day, your family, your business, and the entire trajectory of your life.

The gospel is for your WHOLE family! Every age, every stage. From infant to college student, from parent to grandparent God is for YOU!

We are intentional about this belief by providing all kinds of age based programs for your family on Wednesday nights. Choosing Jesus on a Wednesday night is a BIG DEAL and we don’t take it lightly.

Give us a “🔥” if you’re excited to jump into His presence tonight at 6:30PM.

Questions?! Let us know! 👇

We are not just individuals who have been saved, but a collective body called to assemble together. This assembly is not merely a routine gathering; it’s a sacred act where we come together to hear from God and act on His behalf. The church is where we experience the sanctifying work of God through community. It is where we are challenged, encouraged, and equipped to live out our faith. In the assembly, we are shaped and molded into the image of Christ.

📖”Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.”
Acts 16:31

How has the church community helped lift you up? How can you offer similar support to others in your community?

We love Sundays at Highest Praise Church! 🙌 Join us every Sunday at 9am & 10:45am and Wednesdays at 6:30pm. We can’t wait to see you!
