The invitations to participate in God's kingdom are time-sensitive, yet we're often drawn to wait. Join us as we explore the call to follow Jesus with urgency, courage, and faithfulness—without looking back.

Facing Forward: The Time-Sensitive Kingdom of God | Julie Pederson • 6.29.25

We’re busy. We’re burdened. We’re over-packed—with stuff, schedules, and stress. But what if Jesus is calling us to something simpler, riskier, and more beautiful? In this sermon from Luke 10, we explore what it means to be sent on a barefoot, baggage-free mission—a mission of radical peace and urgent love. No shoes. No purse. Just trust, presence, and the power of God’s Kingdom breaking into the world.

The Barefoot Mission: Priorities, Provision, and the Kingdom of God | Adam Hendric • 7.6.25

We’ve turned the Good Samaritan into a feel-good story about kindness—but Jesus told it to provoke, challenge, and disrupt. This sermon unpacks the radical edge of the parable: a call to draw near, to cross boundaries, and to embody the kind of gut-level compassion that costs us something. Real compassion isn’t about being nice—it’s about being willing to get messy. Featuring a live interview with Matt and Coralie Brown, former members of Highway now serving refugees in Kentucky.

Compassion Isn’t Nice. It’s Disruptive | Adam Hendrix • 7.13.25

When it comes to the story of Mary and Martha, Martha often gets a bad rap. "Don't be a Martha," people say. But in reality, it's much more complex. Martha was doing important work. She just got distracted. Which is like most of us.

In the midst of an endless amount of opportunities and activities, it's easy to lose the point and miss what matters most. Are you worried? Are you distracted? Hear the voice of Jesus calling you back to his feet.

Loving God Fully in a World of Distractions | Luke 10:38-42

The Lord's Prayer starts with a relational anchor that reshapes how we approach everything that follows. Prayer is not a transaction, it's a relationship.

Prayer Starts With A Relationship | Luke 11:1-13

In our culture of more, how can we live with less? Join us as we examine the dangers of greed as laid out in a parable Jesus tells, and look at two ways we can practice simplicity in our lives. Acts 12:13-21

The Practice of Simplicity | Esther Chang

Isaiah delivers one of the most shocking words in Scripture—God says He hates the worship of His own people. Why? Because their prayers and sacrifices were disconnected from justice, compassion, and care for the vulnerable. In this message, we face the uncomfortable truth that it’s possible to honor God with our lips while ignoring Him with our lives—and we discover the hope that even with blood on our hands, God offers grace, cleansing, and a new way forward.

When God Hates Worship

The faithfulness of God is showcased in our lives and the stories our lives tell. From time to time we will set aside space in our worship gathering to hear a few stories from those who are part of Highway. We call these "Storyteller Sundays". On this Sunday we hear from Fred Martinez and Cris Otonari.

We’ve all said it: “I am only…” only a student, only a mom, only a beginner, only average. Jeremiah said it too. But God doesn’t see “only.” He sees enough. Today, we step into Jeremiah’s story and discover what it means to live with courage in the presence of God.

“I Am Only…” When Insecurity Meets God’s Call

Why do we keep chasing more—more success, more pleasure, more experiences—yet still feel empty? Jeremiah 2 calls it "broken cisterns." We discuss the deep longing we all carry, and how Jesus offers the living water our souls are truly thirsty for.
