Deep Roots
Why Transformation Takes Practice
Deep Roots: Embrace Mission
September 26, 2021 • Pat Bills • Luke 10
As we conclude our series on deep roots, we unpack the word "mission" as we consider how our neighborhood and world are in need of deeper disciples. How will the Highland Oaks family pursue mission for our neighborhood and world? Come and see!
Deep Roots: Journey Together
September 19, 2021 • Pat Bills • Luke 11
It's hard to think about church as one person or individual. Church is a calling out of God's people and not just individuals. Join us as we remind ourselves of the deep call for life together and the journey we share towards deeper roots.
Deep Roots: Choose Discipline
August 29, 2021 • Pat Bills • 2 Timothy 1:3–7
Paul wrote to Timothy to "study and show himself approved." So often, deep discipleship is only compatible with studying the scriptures. But what if study was less about a religious routine and more about a rhythm and discipline? This morning we look at the importance of prayer, study, and formation and the invitation to practice deeper disciplines.
Deep Roots: Love Well
August 22, 2021 • Pat Bills • John 15:12–17
There is a difference between saying something "belongs" and asking if someone feels "belonging." And disciples who love well create space for anyone who seeks belonging. Join us as we learn the practice of loving well in our pursuit of deeper discipleship.
Deep Roots: Be Present
August 15, 2021 • Pat Bills • Acts 2:42–47
This morning we look at the deep roots of gathering together as a church family and the need to be present. Why show up at all to an assembly? Why should anyone "go to church?" Come and see why deep disciples commit to a practice of being present.
The Deep Roots of Discipleship
August 8, 2021 • Pat Bills • Colossians
The name of our church family is the Highland Oaks Church of Christ. But why an oak? Oaks are mighty trees that stand tall and withstand storms due to their deep roots. What if our journey as a church family stood firm as an oak because of our deep roots in the soil of the gospel? Join us as we begin this new sermon series and commit to the practices that form deep roots.
