Sermons

A few years ago I spent time with a non Christian man named Lloyd. I met him through a Highland member whom he was dating. Lloyd was a good doctor and he was using his talents and resources to bless people inside the hospital where he worked and outside the hospital where he lived. He did not attend church anywhere. So I invited him to attend church at Highland. Lloyd came for a few Sundays and we spent some time during the weekdays talking about his faith and mine.

Our relationship and conversations grew to the point that I felt safe in asking Lloyd if he would like to study the Bible. I remember the phone call during which I asked him that question. Lloyd had just purchased an old home in Midtown and he was renovating it. I asked Lloyd if he would be interested in coming to the church building and studying the Gospel of Mark with me later that week. And I remember his answer: “No, but if you’d like to grab a hammer and help me with this renovation I would love to spend time with you.” To this day I regret that I hung up the phone and did not pick up a hammer.Read More »Monday Morning Faith: Unleashing Love (Luke 10:25-37) Chris Altrock – 9/20/15
