HighRidge Church Longview

From paint on a cave wall to social media and digital footprints, everyone has a desire to leave their mark on the world. Every person wants their life to matter. The problem is, none of us can make an ETERNAL difference outside of the call of Christ. Pastor Tim shares a few key things--the long-lost recipe--for allowing the Lord to use us for His glory.

Pastor Tim explains that man's search for purpose is universal, but modern culture wants to solve that issue outside of God's Word. What does finding meaning in following Christ look like? What ingredients do we need to make sure we're hitting the target and fulfilling our God-given purpose?

Pastor Tim Ingram has been sharing about how spiritual disciplines are like long-lost recipes. This week, he focuses in on things that lead to real freedom. What "ingredients" are needed to help us continue walking in the liberty that Jesus purchased for us through the cross? The answer may surprise you!

Pastor Tim Ingram explains that there are some spiritual disciplines that aren't super popular, but God really values them. In His eyes, humility and brokenness still matter a lot. It's only when we've laid aside our will that we find His, so add obedience to the mix, and you've got a long-lost "recipe" for God's favor and purpose in our lives.

"What will I face this year?" While we can't always know specifics, we can guarantee that there are both known and unknown battles ahead. Instead of sitting passively or fearfully, we can prepare ourselves to expertly maneuver through the storms of life by seeking the Lord on the front end, and creating a plan of action with strategy from the One who knows all things. Pastor Tim and Tina Ingram ex...

As we think back on the recent past, before we look ahead to the future, we need to take the time to fully acknowledge the good things that the Lord has done and evaluate where our faith is at. "Did my faith walk make a difference this year?" "What can I thank God for?" Pastor Tim Ingram challenges us to get the new season off to the best start possible--with a grateful heart.

"What has the Lord been leading us to do, and have we been faithful with our time and resources to that end?" Legacy Sunday is where we answer these questions. As we look back and celebrate what we’ve been able to accomplish together over the year for the kingdom, just imagine what we could do if all of God’s people started working together without caring about who gets the credit?

Why is it important to process the amazing things that God does? Well, we tend to forget, attribute things to someone/ something other than Him, or miss what He’s trying to show us. Instead, He wants us to start to see His patterns and begin to understand His heart. Pastor Tim Ingram explains how our faith is strengthened when we remember God’s goodness and believe that what He has done, He will d...

"No one's paying attention." "What I do and say has no real impact on others." Have you ever believed these mistaken notions? Bill Leckie explains that, as followers of Christ, we need to be reminding ourselves Who we belong to and Who we represent in our daily walk into the world. What should that walk look like, and how can we begin to start walking that way?

When you think about who God is, what comes to your mind? One of the most famous passages in the Bible compares Him to a shepherd caring for His sheep. James Williams explains that whether we are anxious about having our needs met or whether we're tempted to leave the pasture He's provided, we can trust that His guidance, provision, and protection are what we truly need.

Pastor Tim Ingram asserts that "the healthy, mobilized church is the hope for the world." God is passionate about His people making a difference. He calls us to be "salt" and "light" wherever we are. In fact, the mark of a true believer is the effect we have on the world around us. So let's start throwing off the things that keep us ineffective--refuse to live a life that makes no difference!

“The two greatest days in a person’s life are the day you’re born and the day you figure out why.” –Mark Twain Did you know that God is passionate about us discovering our unique purpose? We all have things that make us tick, but passion that doesn't result in bringing Him glory isn't what He intended. As Pastor Tim explains, we can develop skills and accomplish great things, but a life of purpose...

Pastor Tim explains that God is passionate about FREEDOM. He wants to set us free and to help us stay free. What captures our hearts is important to Him, because He knows how those things can lead us back into spiritual slavery. But when we invite the Holy Spirit into our struggles and daily choices, we begin to live life to the fullest as He changes us from the inside out.

What are you passionate about? If you don't know, you may find the answer somewhere in the intersection of what makes you tick and what ticks you off! But perhaps the better question is, "What is GOD passionate about?" Let's do our best to search it out, because as Pastor Tim explains, it's when His passions become our passions that real life change begins to happen.

Did you realize that there's a battle going on for your courage? You see, God knows how to give us courage, and the enemy is skilled at taking it away. Start fighting back! Join us as Pastor Brady Boyd from New Life Church teaches about what causes discouragement, why it's such a big deal, and how to strategically fight the battle for courage.

"God loves to reveal His power through what's not enough." A lot of us have been raised to believe that vulnerability and humility are synonymous with weakness. But things are upside-down in God's kingdom, so a healthy relationship with Him and with others actually requires and open and unmasked heart. What the world exploits, God expands, so let's take up Pastor Tim's challenge to let the Lord re...

Do you ever think about what you're leaving behind? When we talk about a legacy of faith, what comes to mind? Though it may feel overwhelming, Pastor Tim clarifies how we can start taking a few small steps to benefit those who come behind, knowing that our faith legacy can bring healing to the past, blessing to the present, and hope for the future.

"Who is going to step out in faith for me when I can't step for myself?" We can't keep up this Christian walk for long without some help from the outside. Pastor Tim Ingram encourages us to stop and take a look at our circle of friends--do you have any that are faith-filled? What does a faith-filled friend look like, and why is it so critically important to have them in our lives?

This might very well be the hardest step of faith for some of us. Trusting God with our sin, our children, our job, and our eternity is often easier than trusting Him with our money. Why is it such a struggle? We want to be more generous, but we need helping to step into it. As Pastor Tim shares the truth of God's Word and offers a different perspective, we can come to the realization that, in giv...

Pastor Tim takes on the topic of perseverance. People won't always like it when you grow in your faith. You may even start hearing things like, “Stay in your lane,” or “Sit down and shut up.” It’s going to take perseverance to accomplish your purpose. The good news is, Jesus teaches us how to keep pushing when things are pushing back. If you don't quit, you'll find JOY in the middle of resistance.

Ever been stuck in a rut before, where it's hard to get moving again? The thing is, no one gets saved and just stays exactly the same as before. God's plan for us is that we would all continue to walk with Him, being transformed as we do. How can we make sure that we are alive and growing, not striving and burning out or staying stuck? Pastor Tim Ingram gives us some pointers.

Have you ever tried finding your way in the dark? Taking faith steps can be challenging in normal circumstances. How can we forge ahead when we’re in a crisis or surrounded by circumstances that evoke fear? Pastor Tim Ingram dives into the Word to show us how.

Pastor Tim Ingram launches us into a brand new teaching series today. God likes steps and order! But outside of a relationship with the Lord, we tend to walk in circles. God is always longing to lead His people somewhere special, and if we just make a move in the right direction, we'll discover the incredible power of one small step.

Who are we? What are we doing? What are we about? If you’re curious and want to find out more about HighRidge Longview’s mission to be a strong, healthy, growing church, keep listening as Pastor Tim Ingram explains it all.

There are times when following the Lord’s plan and purpose for our lives can be challenging and down right hard. The good news is, we don’t have to do it alone or in our own strength! Knowing how to adjust our mindset and do a different take can help us persevere instead of losing heart.
