Daily Devotional – Will I Bring Myself Up to This Level?
Will I Bring Myself Up to This Level? – From Utmost.org March 18, 2016 …perfecting holiness in the fear of God. —2 Corinthians 7:1 “Therefore, having these promises….” I claim God’s promises for my life and look to their fulfillment, and rightly so, but that shows only the human perspective on them.

Inquiring minds want to know …
Why did we decide to change to a new web site? The current hosting provider wanted to charge extra for every additional feature; mailboxes, event calendar,etc… We were very limited with what we could do with ‘canned’ and ‘beginner’ level web publishing tools. If you look around the www.highlandparklc.com website, you will see that the Event Calendar is much easier to use and update, sermons can be easily accessed and found. You can learn more about our church easier and…

Daily Devotional – Total Surrender
Total Surrender – from Utmost.org March 12, 2016 Peter began to say to Him, “See, we have left all and followed You.” —Mark 10:28 Our Lord replies to this statement of Peter by saying that this surrender is “for My sake and the gospel’s” (10:29).
