Our mission at North Highlands is to make healthy disciples for Jesus Christ. Our weekly messages help guide our church in the direction we believe God is leading us.
This Sunday, join us as we dive into one of Jesus' most beloved parables: the story of the prodigal son. But instead of focusing on the wayward son, we will explore the heart of the compassionate fat…
We celebrate our nation's independence and the Declaration of Independence, which highlights Americans' inalienable rights to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."
For much of my life, I did…
"Where are you from?" is the ultimate “Get to Know You” question. Everyone’s life story starts somewhere, and when someone begins to tell their story, we’re instantly taken back to the past. We get t…
A GPS's purpose is to get us from one destination to the next. God isn't always worried about the destination but He is in the business of forming and shaping us into His image. As the Israelites are…
It is an awesome thing to consider: that the LORD desires to be with His people. It was His plan all along–to center Himself among His people and for His people to orient their lives around Him. The …

Do any of you have a most prized possession? Something you keep in a glass case or out of the reach of children? Autographed memorabilia? A wedding ring? A piece of art, perhaps? Now, can you imagine…

Have you ever had a mountain top experience? These are moments not so much about reaching the literal peaks of mountains, but about the part they play in one’s life. The transformative high points of…
