Dr. Akin's message

It was a great joy and honor to host Dr. Danny Akin at Highland this past Sunday. It's refreshing to see someone live out what they preach, and to see someone who is real. He was such a blessing to my family, and to see him interact with Morgan and Mya was special. He talked with them and loved on them like they were his own grandkids. Thank you Dr. Akin, your kindness toward my children was a great gift to Melissa and I. Thank you for your candor and encouragement to us during our conversation over lunch.

Seeing what I saw in Dr. Akin makes it more necessary and easy to not just listen to him but to hear him. I wish everyone at Highland could have witnessed what my family did. But his message needs to be heard none-the-less. Just a quick recap, and a reminder that the video of his message will be posted on the church website very soon. You can access it via the media tab on the homepage at www.hbcfamily.org. 

The title of the message was "The Lion, The Lamb, and The World." His text was Revelation 5. Jesus is the only one worthy to open the scroll that is sealed with the seven seals. He is everything God demanded for redeeming the most prized, loved, and lost creation, mankind. He is the God-Man, perfect, and willing to pay the debt he didn't owe because we owed a debt we couldn't pay.
