    The Table Is Always Set | Welcome Home — Week 2 | Ps. David Johnson

    There’s a place for you in God’s house. The door is always open, and the table is always set. In week two of Welcome Home, Pastor David explores what it means for the church to be a place to belong. Through Romans 15, 1 Peter 4, and the story of Zacchaeus, we discover that welcoming people begins with loving them, knowing their story, and making room for their faith to grow. A table set welcomes anyone. A table set is built by everyone. God has given each of us gifts, experiences, and a story that can help someone else find their place in his family. Whether you’re exploring faith or have followed Jesus for years, you have a place here and a part to play. What has God given you that could help someone else feel at home? Welcome Home | Week 2 A Place to Belong: The Table Is Always Set Scripture: Romans 15:5–7; 1 Peter 4:7–11; Luke 19:1–10 Learn more about Highlands Church in La Crescenta: HighlandsLA.com

    The Door Is Always Open | Welcome Home — Week 1 | Ps. David Johnson

    What kind of church are we meant to be? We believe the church should be a place where anyone can begin—a place for the searching and the saved, the certain and the unsure, the longtime believer and the person simply wondering if there might be something more. In week one of our WELCOME HOME series, Pastor David shares what it means to become a church where “the door is always open.” Looking at Romans 12, we discover that genuine hospitality is about far more than being friendly. It’s about remembering that the church isn’t simply a place we attend—it’s a people we are. And Jesus has called us to open the door for others just as He opened the door for us. We’ll explore three keys to becoming a place where people can begin: • Remember: church isn’t about you—it is you. • Learn how to love. • Seek the searching. Who is one person in your life who needs an open door? Pray for them. Pursue them. Invite them in. WELCOME HOME. The door is always open. Helping people find and follow Jesus together.

    Let Me Explain | Why We Sing | Ps. David Johnson

    Why do we sing at church? And why does it matter that we join in? In week three of “Let Me Explain,” Pastor David explores the biblical purpose of singing together: to remember what God has done, remind one another of His promises, rejoice in His goodness, repent and return to Him, and request His help through prayer. We also explore why Highlands sings both old hymns and new songs, how Scripture guides what we sing, and how different generations can come together in worship. Your voice matters—even on the Sundays when you don’t feel like singing. It might be the reminder someone beside you needs. Let Me Explain — Why We Sing Scripture: Colossians 3:16; Psalm 105:1–5; Exodus 15; Deuteronomy 31; Zephaniah 3:17 Highlands Church Los Angeles Following Jesus together. https://highlandsLA.com

    Let Me Explain | Why We Give | Ps. David Johnson

    Why do Christians give—and why do churches talk about money at all? In this message from our Let Me Explain series, Pastor David explores the biblical purpose behind giving. Giving isn’t about pressure, guilt, or earning God’s favor. It is a response to the generosity of God and a practical way we join Him in His work. Through 2 Corinthians 9, we’ll look at three practices of biblical giving—tithing, offerings, and caring for those in need—and how each one supports the church, meets real needs, and helps others see what God is like. We give because God is a giver—and we’re with Him.

    Let Me Explain | Baptism | Ps. David Johnson

    What is baptism, why does it matter, and why does Jesus call His followers to be baptized? In this message from our “Let Me Explain” series, Pastor David explores baptism as more than a religious tradition. Baptism is a ceremony, a story, and a sign. It publicly declares that we belong to Jesus and have entered a new covenant with God through faith. Baptism does not save us. We are saved by grace through faith in Jesus. But baptism is a first step of obedience for those who have decided to follow Him. Going beneath the water and rising again tells the story of the gospel: our old life has been buried with Christ, and through Him, we have been raised to new life. We’ll explore the connection between baptism and covenant, why Highlands practices believer’s baptism by immersion, and why baptism is the beginning, not the end, of following Jesus.

    Where Do We Go From Here? | Ephesians 6 | Ps. David Johnson

    After 15 weeks in Ephesians, we come to the end of the letter and face one important question: Where do we go from here? Paul’s final words remind us that the good news of Jesus was never meant to stop with us. Like Tychicus, we have received a message that we are now called to carry into our homes, neighborhoods, schools, workplaces, and city. In this message, Pastor David Johnson explores four realities that should mark us wherever Jesus sends us: • Find peace • Choose love • Walk by faith • Know and show grace There comes a moment when learning must become living, belief must become obedience, and we must step out of the “parking lot” of uncertainty into the future God has prepared for us. So, where will you go from here? Highlands Church exists to help people find and follow Jesus. We are following Jesus together, carrying His peace, love, faith, and grace wherever He leads us.
