How do you know if you’re really saved? Do you ever ask yourself that question? Do you ever worry about that question? Do you ever doubt your salvation?
You remember you did something when you were eight … but now you have some doubts: “Did I really know what I was doing?
You walked an aisle several years ago, and you said a prayer. But now doubt has set in. “Did I just repeat a prayer that someone suggested? Or did I really ask God to save me? Did I say the right words? Did I do the prayer right? Am I really saved?”
You went to camp and trusted in Jesus. And along with a bunch of your friends, you even got baptized in the ocean. But now you have some doubts. “Was I just going along with the crowd? Or did I do something authentic with God?”
Bottom line – you prayed a prayer … you asked God to save you – but you now have this nagging doubt. Am I really, really saved?
This Sunday morning we are continuing our series that we’ve called “Inbox.” We’re addressing questions that you sent in. And yes, one person asked this: “How do I know I’m really, really, REALLY saved?”
Join us Sunday for worship as we unpack the answer to this very important question that all of us must answer. Special thanks to all of you who have been praying for our students who have been at beach camp this week. Keep praying for God to work in their lives and start praying for God to work in the lives of all of our children and their families who will be a part of Vacation Bible School here at The Heights that kicks off on Monday. God is certainly working in the lives of many of our children and families as we seek Him together.
God Bless,
Gary
PS...Know that on Sunday, July 4th we will have a special baptism service as our entire Heights Family comes together for one combined service at 10:45 am on that one day. If you would like to talk with someone about being baptized during that special baptism service, please contact Pam Nicholson at pnicholson@theheights.org or call the church offices at 972-238-7243 for more information.
Deacon Nominations
On occasion in the life of a Baptist church (due to growth, transfers,
and transition), we need to add men to our deacon body. We are currently soliciting
recommendations from our church body. Read 1 Timothy 3:8-13 and Titus 1:5-9 for Biblical
qualifications for deacon servants in the church. Email recommendations to John Wills
(jwills@theheights.org) or mail your recommendation to John Wills, 201 West Renner Road,
Richardson, TX 75080. If you know of men who were previously ordained in other churches,
have been members of The Heights Baptist Church for at least one year and whom you would
recommend for vetting and serving in our church, those names would be welcomed and
appreciated as well.

The amazing Canyon Creek Elementary (Colby and Emily's former school in Texas) 6th grade class challenged the teachers to a kickball tournament.
