Memory Verse: 1 Peter 5:7

Highlands will be starting an ESL class and a Spanish class after the New Year. Both will meet on Tuesday nights. Sign up with Israel (ESL) or Heather (SSL).
Tonight at 6:00 p.m. we are having a farewell party for Pastor Bob and Jan. Please bring a main dish and a side and a bad joke in Bob’s honor.
There will be no Small Groups until after Christmas. Our Christmas Eve service is at 8 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 24.
The adherence to the tent-life in the sight and amidst the scenes of the promised land fixes the aspiration of the patriarchs as aiming at the highest conceivable heavenly goal. It has in it somewhat of the scorn of the relative and of compromise. He who knows that for him a palace is in building does not dally with desires for improvement on a lower scale. Contentment with the lowest becomes in such a case profession of the highest, a badge of spiritual aristocracy with it proud insistence upon the ideal. Only the predestined inhabitants of the eternal city know how to conduct themselves in a simple tent as kings and princes of God.

If there were a great treasure of gold and pearls accidentally found, and opened with such circumstances that all might have as much as they could gather; would not every one think it worth his while to make a business of gathering which it should last? But that treasure of divine knowledge, which is contained in the Scriptures, and is provided for every one to gather to himself as much of it as he can, is far more rich than any one of gold and pearls.
