12 totalThe Most Excellent Way
Charlotte Gambill

What Is Love?
Mark Pettus
Pastor Mark Pettus launches the Loveology series by establishing that God is love as defined in 1 Corinthians 13, that real love is agape (unconditional and sacrificial), and that our ability to love others flows from first receiving God's love ourselves.
Win Before You Begin

Pastor Rich Wilkerson Jr. preaches from Deuteronomy 20 that believers can win their battles before they begin by refusing to let fear override faith, letting God's Word be louder than worry, maintaining godly order in life, and remembering that God fights for His people.
Higher Heights - Anniversary Sunday
Mark Pettus
On Church of the Highlands' 25th anniversary, Pastor Mark Pettus casts vision for the next 25 years built on the Great Commission and the church's four pillars — Know God, Find Freedom, Discover Purpose, Make a Difference — while announcing new campuses, a refreshed brand, and a reimagined Growth Track experience.
Made for This Ministry

Eternity-Focused Finances
Mark Pettus
Pastor Mark Pettus teaches that money is ultimately a heart issue, not just a financial one, and walks through the Parable of the Talents to establish four stewardship principles -- God owns it all, what we have is entrusted with purpose, faithfulness over fear, and eternal rewards -- before offering four practical applications: order over amount, calling over compensation, contentment over consumerism, and generosity over scarcity.
Golden Rule Relationships
Mark Pettus
Pastor Mark Pettus teaches that seeking God first in relationships means practicing the Golden Rule through three practical steps — pausing to understand others with biblical empathy, proactively stepping into action rather than reacting, and persevering through the power of the Holy Spirit rather than self-effort.
Fasting for Breakthrough
Chris Hodges
Pastor Chris Hodges teaches the theology and practice of fasting, explaining that humans are triune beings (body, soul, spirit) and that fasting strengthens the spirit's authority over flesh and mind. He outlines five biblical fasts — the Disciples, Ezra, Paul, Daniel, and Samuel fasts — each addressing specific needs from breaking bondage to seeking national revival.
Divine Order
Mark Pettus
Pastor Pettus teaches from Matthew 6:33 that lasting change in 2026 will not come from resolutions or willpower but from living a divinely reordered life — seeking God's kingdom and righteousness first — empowered by the Holy Spirit to transform every area from the inside out.
