    It Is Well With My Soul Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Nov 8, 2020
    based on 6 ratings
     | 13,750 views

    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.

    This past 2 years we have been introduced in a new way to signs in the Heavens by several books about the 4 Blood Moons as well as the cycle of Gods festivals and the Shemitah year and Jubilee year.

    Message: This past 2 years we have been introduced in a new way to signs in the Heavens by several books about the 4 Blood Moons as well as the cycle of God’s festivals and the Shemitah year and Jubilee year. We have yet to see these things run their course and so we wait and watch before we draw ...read more

    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?

    OPEN: (We opened the sermon with a video by the group “CityALight” and their song “Jerusalem” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wX4ZCHRksBA [fade at time stamp 1:51]). I shared that video this morning, not only because I really like that song, but also because it dovetails ...read more

    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. She told him that was really great, and he told her he was going to take his swim goggles. She was curious about why the youngster would want to wear his goggles ...read more

    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
     | 1,001 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.

    THE SONGS OF ASCENT – PART 15 – PSALM 131 – RESTING IN CONTENTMENT AND THE HOPE OF ISRAEL – HOPE IN THE LORD PSALM 131 A SONG OF ASCENTS, OF DAVID {{Psalm 131:1 “O LORD, my heart is not proud, nor my eyes haughty.

    The Paradoxical Sayings Of Jesus: Lose Your Life To Save It Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Jul 30, 2018
     | 9,799 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

    Kaiser Wilhelm II entered Jerusalem through the Jaffa gate mounted on a beautiful white horse. Nearly 2000 years before, Jesus had entered Jerusalem through the Eastern gate mounted upon a humble donkey. Two dignitaries entered the same city in two different ways. Why the differences?

    OPEN: The last emperor of Germany was Kaiser Wilhelm II and, in 1898 he decided to make a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. At the time, the once great Jerusalem was in serious need of attention. So 6 months before the Kaiser’s scheduled arrival, the Sultan replaced the mayor of Jerusalem with a more ...read more

    The city of Pergamum in the ancient world was a city seated on a hill, a tall hill, and this place was like the capital of Asia minor.

    I was at the gym last night, on the stair-stepper enjoying a good work out. All the workout machines in the area point one direction, and so looking forward in front of me there are always many televisions all lined up one by one. I counted them last night and I counted 20 tvs. All of them on ...read more

    Revelation 6 talks of God's vengeance upon the evil of this world. But it also speaks as if there's no hope of repentance for those who are mentioned here. Can that really be true? Can man reach a point where he can't repent?

    OPEN: O, Sinner Man, Where You Gonna Run To? (sung by Leon Bibb - https://youtu.be/uTuy101LcPs) How many of you have ever heard this song? What you just heard was an old Negro Spiritual and I heard it way back when I was a teenager. It has been so popular over the years that it’s been sung ...read more

    A sermon I had intended to give on Easter Sunday 2020 but was prevented by stay-at-home order from the Governor because of the COVID19 pandemic. It addresses Jesus' resurrection in connection with the "first resurrection" of Revelation 20 and the universal resurrection.

     | 3,015 views

    The Sabbath was on Saturday, and yet we worship on Sunday. Why do we do that, and what lessons from the Jewish Sabbath can we learn as Christians?

    Before we get into the heart of the sermon I want to address idea of the Sabbath. The Sabbath was the 7th day of the week and that’s SATURDAY. On the Sabbath, Jews would worship God, spend time with their families. And… essentially, they did little else. The Sabbath was a DAY OF REST. In fact, ...read more

    Some people refuse to love their enemies because it shows they have standards, that they respect themselves, that they reject bad behavior. It makes them feel God-like. But Jesus said that being "God-like" means loving our enemies. How do we do that?
