God's Path

Start where you are. Take the next step when you are ready.

1. Visit usMeet us, and what we believe

Welcome. Wherever you are with God, you can start right here, at your own pace. No sign-in needed.

Golden Rule Bible is a church's front door on the web. The first church is Highland Heights Presbyterian (HHPC) in Cordova, Tennessee. Tap HHPC at the top to see it.

2. Say helloAnd how can we pray for you?

We would love to know you. Share as much or as little as you like.

This opens your own email with your words filled in. Nothing is sent until you press Send. While this is a demo, notes go to Doug Golden, who passes them to the church. Your prayer is never put on a public page.

3. Today with GodYour Bible, every day

God's Path starts in His Word. Spend a few minutes with Him every day, with your own Bible open beside you.

Matthew 7:12 (NIV)

"So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets."

How to spend ten minutes with GodA simple daily devotional

Pick a time and a place. Same time each day, phone on quiet.
Pray first. Ask God to speak to you through His Word.
Read today's verse in your own Bible, and the verses around it.
Ask three questions. What does this show me about God? About me? What will I do today?
Pray it back to God, in your own words.
Write one line you want to remember.

Trust, but verify. Grab your Bible and check every verse you read here.

Of the day

4. Ask your questionsWhat does the Bible say?

Ask about the Bible. Elder Tillman is a computer helper. He shows you where Scripture speaks to it, in the NIV, and points you to a pastor or an elder for anything that matters.

Trust, but verify. Grab your Bible and check what he shows you.

5. This week at churchWhat is happening

Your church's week shows here every day: services, groups and events, so you never miss one.

6. Come in personWe saved you a seat

When you are ready, your church's doors are open. Ask your pastor for this Sunday's times.

7. Our MissionsFind your people

HHPC MusicSing, ring, play, learn

Love music? Ask anyway, even if you do not read music or have never sung or played in church. If making music for God brings you joy, there is a place for you.

Practice with the prompter

Your recording stays on your phone. Nobody hears it unless you send it.

Play It SundayLearn this month's song, then join the band

Every month, learn the song of the month on your instrument. When you can play it, play it with us.

Christ Be Magnified · key of A · 72 beats a minute

Listen until you can hum it.
Get the chord chart. Ask the band leader for HHPC's chart, or buy one.
Learn your part: guitar, bass, drums, keys or voice.
Practice a little most days. Set your plan above.
Play it Sunday. Tell us you are ready.

1. Listen 2. Chord chart (PraiseCharts) 3. Part lessons (Worship Initiative) 5. I would like to play in the band

PraiseCharts sells charts for each song. The Worship Initiative is a paid service with a free trial. We do not print chords or words here. New to an instrument, or want drum or voice lessons? Ask us.

HandbellsHow to ring, and bell music

Handbells are a team: each ringer covers a few notes, and together the bells make the music. You can learn even if you do not read music yet.

How to get started Ringing lessons and teaching Handbell videos Find bell music (J.W. Pepper) I would like to ring

Lessons and music from Handbell Musicians of America and J.W. Pepper. Bell music for church is bought for the whole choir by its director.

Tips for singersEasy habits that help

Stand or sit tall. Feet flat, shoulders down and loose. Your breath needs room.
Breathe low. Let your belly fill when you breathe in, not your shoulders.
Warm up gently. Hum, sigh from high to low, and do lip trills before you sing out.
Drink water through the day, not just at practice.
Mark your music. A pencil note for every breath, change and reminder the director gives.
Listen more than you sing. Blend with the voices around you.
Rest a tired voice. If it hurts, stop, and tell the director.
Sing the words, not just the notes. We are praying twice.

General habits, not medical advice. A voice that stays hoarse for more than two weeks is worth a doctor's look.

Prayer WarriorsPray for the requests that come in

Every prayer request from this app goes to the prayer team, and only to them. If you love to pray for others, join us.

I would like to pray with the team

This opens your own email to Doug, who passes it on. Nothing is sent until you press Send.

Puppet MinistryThe third-Sunday children's sermon

On the third Sunday of every month, the children's sermon is a puppet show. It has gone on for years, and it takes a team: puppeteers, voices, script writers and people who keep the puppet theater in shape.

I would like to help

This opens your own email to Doug, who passes it on. Nothing is sent until you press Send.

Start a missionThe mission template

Every mission gets the same setup as T.O.P.S. and the men's dinner: its own page, a sign-up for the next gathering, a vote on what is next, a place to suggest ideas, prayer requests kept private to the leaders, and a leader screen.

Tell us about yours. The church's leader says yes before it starts.

8. Serve and giveUse what God gave you

There is a place for you to serve. Ask how you can help, or join HHPC Music.

Giving online is coming, with the church's say. Until then, give in person on Sunday.

Ask how to serve

9. Tell your storyHow God has met you

Everyone has a story of how God has met them. Record yours, or write it out. When this opens for your church, a pastor or an elder reads each story before anyone else sees it.

Today's Verse — Psalm 23:1 (NIV)

"The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing."

April 15 · Open in Bible ›

Today's Reflection

A shepherd doesn't watch from afar — he leads, he protects, he knows each one by name. Whatever you're carrying today, you are not carrying it alone.

Today's Prayer

"Lord, remind me today that I am known, I am led, and I lack nothing in You. Amen."

Today's Hymn — He Leadeth Me

Psalm 23 (NIV)

◀▶

1The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing.

2He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters,

3he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake.

4Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

5You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.

6Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
