    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Aug 15, 2022
     | 2,273 views

    Othniel delivered God’s people through battle and there was peace for God’s people for forty years. Don’t get in the trap that repeats itself twelve times through the book of Judges with sin, punishment, repentance and deliverance. Don’t forget all the good things the Lord has done for you.

    The title First Judge is taken from the movie First Knight. The First Knight story of Camelot. Lancelot is the courageous sword fighter. He runs the gauntlet and wins a kiss from Guinevere, the bride to be of King Arthur. Then Lancelot after another daring deed saves the life of Guinevere and lands ...read more

     | 102 views

    When Caleb entered the Promised Land he was eighty five years old, but he declared that he was as strong as he was when he was forty years old. The life of Caleb teaches us important lessons on what we need to do, so we too can grow from strength to strength.

    We read in Joshua 14:10-11, “But now, look. It has been forty-five years since the LORD said that to Moses. That was when Israel was going through the desert, and the LORD, as he promised, has kept me alive ever since. Look at me! I am eighty-five years old and am just as strong today as I was when ...read more

    Look And See If There Be Any Sorrow Like My Sorrow – Focus On Nigeria Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jan 7, 2024
     | 1,350 views

    Not all believers are aware of the continuing atrocities against Christians in Nigeria from the hand of wicked Islam. We examine some of this and look at practical issues in martyrdom. We must stand with our fellow Christians being killed and tortured in Nigeria and other nations. Pray for them.

    LOOK AND SEE IF THERE BE ANY SORROW LIKE MY SORROW – FOCUS ON NIGERIA There is one certainty in following God, be that 4 000 years ago right up to our current time. It will be a road of sorrow and isolation and persecution. It always has been that way because there is always a war raging. It ...read more

    “You’ve got to be kidding me?” Have you ever heard those words? I think I would be saying when I read Acts chapter 9. Acts chapter 9 is the conversion of Saul who held the robes of the men who stoned Stephen, the first martyr in Jerusalem. You going to use this guy? And God says, “yes”.

    Jesus Predicts His Death Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 12, 2021
     | 2,874 views

    Think of it: Jesus marshaled no army and He carried no weapon. Jesus never used His miraculous powers to throw the Pharisees off the nearest cliff. Yet, the threat of Jesus was so great, He often made enemies into allies:

    A New York Times editorial claims that America’s views on the death penalty are changing. 35 people were put to death in 2014 which was the fewest in 20 years. And 2014 marked a nearly 40 year low in the number of new criminals placed on death row. While the method of execution may have changed, ...read more

    Among all the conquering heroes of Hebrews 11, God introduces us to those who suffered, struggled and died for their faith. Why would God tell us the stories of those who didn't "succeed"?

    OPEN: I love a good action movie - the kind they used to make. Movies where good overcomes evil; the boy gets the girl; righteousness triumphs and the hero rides off into the sunset. Those are “feel good” movies because everything works out the way it should. One website talked about the movies ...read more

    Peter exhorts us in 1 Peter 4:7-11 to be prayerful and demonstrate Christ through our lives because “the end of all things is near”. It is imperative that we live purposefully during these challenging times. 

    Good morning brothers and sisters, welcome to Lighthouse Evangelism Online Service. Let us stand up to read the Bible passage: from 1 Peter 4:7-11 “The end of all things is near.

    When Jesus was crucified, some turned away and some ran away from Him. But there was at least one man didn't do that and his life changed forever. Do you know who that man was?

    One preacher decided not to baptize one young girl on October 31st because he didn’t want her to associate her baptism with Halloween - a season of death. Was he right?

    OPEN: One of the boys in a Sunday School teacher’s class proudly announced to his teacher that he was being baptized the next Sunday.

    Eutychus fell asleep during church... and he woke up dead. Why was Eutychus at church that night, and what can we learn from his experience?

    Someone once noted that falling asleep has often had unforeseen consequences. Adam fell asleep and woke up married and missing a rib! Samson fell asleep and woke up bald and beaten! Jonah fell asleep in the boat and woke up wet! Eutychus fell asleep and he woke up dead! Like Eutychus, people ...read more

    The Songs Of Ascent – Part 15 – Psalm 131 – Resting In Contentment And The Hope Of Israel – Hope In The Lord Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Feb 8, 2024
     | 1,135 views

    Some churches run so many activities that some servants are just worn out. We need more exits and “coming aside to rest” for contentment. Remember activities in the Lord’s name could be a barrier that stops us knowing Jesus better! We look at hope in Israel.

    Contributed by James Wallace on Jul 30, 2018
     | 9,921 views

    Perhaps Jesus' most challenging saying of all is that to save your lives we must be willing to lose it for His sake and the Gospels. We explore what this really means practically, and whether Jesus meant for it to be literally true.

    The Paradoxical Sayings of Jesus Lose Your Life to Save It Mark 8:31-39 We continue in our summer series on the paradoxical sayings of Jesus. Jesus said a number of things which violate common sense, and seem to be impossible with regard to all the realities we face in this world, and would not ...read more
