The Merry Christmas, everybody. I'm so grateful you're here today, and I hope you're having an incredible Christmas season.

I know at the Pettus House, our four boys can hardly wait for Christmas Day.

I hope and pray you're also enjoying our Christmas at Highlands experience.

It's an honor to have you here.

Highlands is truly blessed with some of the most gifted people on the planet.

Christmas season. You mean the world to us. And finally, if today is your first

time with us, let me say on behalf of all of us, welcome. We are so excited you're here. And if you're

or opening another campus. From day one, our passion has been to help people answer the question

more to faith, and more to church. That's why our foundational verse
