HFCC Christ Centered Hope for Today's World

What happens when one of the Good Shepherd's sheep finally makes it home? On October 8, 2026, family and friends gathered at High Forest Community Church to celebrate the life of David C. Garrison. While the occasion was one of sorrow and remembrance, it was also a celebration of something far greater: the incredible hope and victory we have through Jesus Christ. In this special release, we sh...

The very word energetically draws our minds to countless people coming to the saving knowledge of our Savior, Christ Jesus! And for good reason. Throughout history, there have been remarkable revivals that have swept through communities, nations, and various regions of the world. Even today, we often find ourselves praying for revival in our own country. But what if our typical understanding of re...

Jim Barnhart continues our Walk with Jesus as we follow our Lord through the trials that would ultimately lead Him to the cross. This time, Jesus is brought before the Roman governor, Pontius Pilate. But why did Pilate allow things to unfold the way they did? The beatings, the mockery, the torture...what was the purpose behind it all? Then another man enters the story: a criminal named Barabbas. W...

How often have we heard of evil attempting to destroy good? Its the premise of every good movie and book, isn't it? And while often much of these stories are fabricated fiction, they are often believable because it hangs on a truth we all know. Good and Evil are at war. But few today likely realize just how close to home this battle is becoming. Throughout history, countless bloodshed has been...

Today, we dive into the trial of our Lord Jesus Christ. Over the past several weeks, Jim has taken us alongside Jesus through incredible moments: from miracles and resurrection to the anguish of His prayers in Gethsemane. Now we arrive at a pivotal moment. Jesus has been arrested and brought before the ruling authorities to stand trial. But how does Jesus respond to the accusations against Him? Wh...

“No.” It is one of the first words we learn to dislike as children, and reaching adulthood doesn’t make it any easier to hear. We make plans. We pray. We ask. We hope. And sometimes, God’s answer is simply… “No.” Today, Pastor John Grams takes us to Deuteronomy 3:23–28 and one of the most striking moments in the life of Moses. After 120 years of life and decades of faithfully leading the people of...

Today, Jim takes us to one of the most troubling moments in the life of Jesus, and yet, even here, we see that Jesus is still in complete control. After spending time in prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane, the hour finally comes. Judas arrives, leading a group of armed guards to arrest Jesus. But why did they arrest Him? What crime had He committed? And what bold statement did Jesus make that was...

We had some slight audio issues during the recording, but they certainly do not detract from the powerful message brought to us today by Jim Barnhart. As we continue our walk with Jesus, we enter one of the most troubling and agonizing moments leading up to the cross: the Garden of Gethsemane. Here, the disciples seem unaware of the gravity of what is unfolding around them. While they struggle to...

“Kerplunk.” A sound that almost seems humorous. And yet today, we look at how this simple sound affected the lives of two different men, thousands of years apart. Using 2 Kings 6 as our base text, we discover how each of us can experience our own “Kerplunk” moment. Something changes. Something falls apart. Something we were depending on suddenly disappears beneath the surface…even when we thought...

We continue our walk with Jesus, nearing the final hours before the cross. And there are heavy hearts all around. With revelations of what is to come, and the fear of Jesus leaving them, the disciples are left wondering what all of this means. And here we see the Lord comforting His inner circle with words that still echo to us today, giving us courage and hope when we find ourselves in troubled t...

When faced with overwhelming odds, or a situation that seems far beyond what you can handle, what do you do? Often, our first instinct is to begin orchestrating an escape route. We try to calculate a way to victory. Or sometimes, we simply run away from the problem altogether. But how should we handle our fears Biblically? Today, John Grams takes us to 2 Chronicles 20, where we find King Jehoshaph...

We continue our Walk with Jesus as we follow the Master and His disciples back to the familiar town of Bethany. There, in the middle of a joyful celebration, Mary does something that leaves everyone in the room speechless. She breaks open an expensive bottle of perfume and pours it over the head and feet of Jesus. Almost immediately, the practical minds of those watching are filled with criticism...

Today we journey back to one of the most familiar of the Ten Commandments: "Honor your father and your mother." Most of us have read those words countless times, but few stop to ask what they really mean. What does it mean to honor someone? What does biblical honor actually look like? And does this command still apply when parents have failed, abandoned their children, or caused deep wou...

Today on our continuation of our Walk with Jesus, we enter a story that only John records in chapter 11 of his book. Here we see Jesus being warned of his friend's serious illness. But rather than rushing there to help the man, Jesus delays, and the man dies. What was going on? Did Jesus not really care? Why would He cause unnecessary pain and suffering for not just the man, but his two sister...

Jim returns as we continue our Walk with Jesus series. Today we enter Mark 11:11–21, where we encounter one of the most well known moments in Jesus' ministry: His cleansing of the temple. There, He confronts those who had turned a place of worship into a place of exploitation, taking advantage of those who had come to seek God. Yet surrounding this dramatic event is another account that has pu...

As we celebrate the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States of America, Gary Froiland takes us on a journey back to the nation's beginnings to uncover the true intentions behind its founding. Together, we examine the founding documents, the words of America's leaders, and the inscriptions carved into the monuments of Washington, D.C., all of which bear witness to the central...

How do you respond when God's plans don't make sense? In his previous message, Embracing God's Plans, John Grams introduced us to the prophet Habakkuk, a man who struggled to understand why God seemed to allow evil to flourish. Like many of us, Habakkuk brought his questions honestly before the Lord. Now, in the final chapter of the book, we witness an incredible transformation. Habakk...

Father's Day. For some, it is a day to celebrate a dad who has been a source of strength, guidance, and love. For others, it is a painful reminder of someone who is absent...or someone whose choices left wounds that still remain. What do you do with Father's Day when your father is missing? What if he was never there? What if the relationship is complicated, painful, or broken? In this mes...

We all have those moments when God throws us a curveball. We expect life to go one way, only to find ourselves facing something completely different. In those moments, we are often left scratching our heads and asking, "Lord, what are You doing?" That is exactly where we find ourselves today in 2 Kings 5. Here we meet Naaman, the mighty commander of the Syrian army. Though feared by his...

As we continue our Walk with Jesus alongside Jim Barnhart, we arrive at one of the most significant moments in the life of Christ: His triumphal entry into Jerusalem. As Jesus rides into the city on a humble donkey, He fulfills prophecies written centuries before, providing powerful evidence of His identity as the promised Messiah. Yet this event is far more than a historical fulfillment. Within t...

Miraculous healings are found all throughout the Bible. We read these accounts and stand amazed at the powerful works God has done. Today, Gary Froiland returns and takes us to Luke 6, where we find a remarkable example of faith in the healing power of Jesus. But the person Luke chooses to highlight may surprise you. This leads us to an important question: Was miraculous healing only for days gone...

Every one of us eventually comes to a crossroads in life: a moment where a decision must be made. Sometimes those choices affect our future here on earth...and sometimes they affect eternity itself. Today, we continue our Walk with Jesus as He arrives in Jericho. Sitting along the roadside is a blind man named Bartimaeus. He is desperate, overlooked, and seemingly without hope. Yet when Jesus pass...

Jim returns as we continue our Walk with Jesus, arriving at the famous account of the rich young ruler who asks the question, “What must I do to inherit eternal life?” At first glance, Jesus’ answer can almost seem contradictory to the rest of Scripture. But when we look deeper at what was really happening, the meaning becomes clear. Does keeping the Ten Commandments make it happen? Is doing more...

Today, on this special Mother’s Day message, Gary explores the beauty, value, and God-given role of women from a biblical perspective. From the very beginning of creation, God established woman with dignity, purpose, and significance. As we journey through Scripture, we also discover God’s compassion and provision for those facing difficult circumstances, revealing His heart for family, love, and...

Every single one of us have experienced times in our lives where we have petitioned God in prayer...only to seemingly be met with silence. We seek Him over and over, perhaps even resorting to pleading over understanding what is going on, and yet no answer seems to come. But what if God has a plan that far exceeds what our mind can even handle? What if, what God is doing, is so far beyond our compr...
