Lighthouse Amherstburg's weekly sermon podcast

Zechariah became the father of John the Baptist when he was an old man and his wife, Elizabeth, was barren.  Are we limiting God with our unbelief? Are we praying safely in case God doesn't answer?

Is God the hope of the world today?  Then I heard the voice of the Lord. He said, “Who will I send? Who will go for us?” I said, “Here I am. Send me!”   Isaiah 6:8 Do you hear the bells they're ringing? The life the angels singing Open up your heart and hear them Peace on earth, good will to men Peace on earth, Peace on earth Peace on earth, Good will to men

“Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.”. Isaiah 7:14 With Christmas approaching, what are your thoughts and feelings about it? Just another holiday season? Gotta go buy some gifts for people that have more than they need? Where is your heart at when you think of Christmas? Is it focused on Christ? Have y...

Our plans are usually based on our fears rather than our faith. Jacob prayed for protection, not direction.  Most of us plan, take action, and then pray. Rather, we should: Pray, Plan, Take Action How long does it take you to surrender to God's plan for your life?  Is God wrestling with you in an area of your life?  What will it take for you to let go and let God.  Through the wrestling, what...

How can a God of mercy, justice and love command Abraham to offer his one and only son as a sacrifice?  Actually, God did not require Abraham to do anything He hasn't already done Himself. For God so love the world that He gave his one and only son. God will test us to see where our loyalties lie. Join us for this week's sermon podcast from Lighthouse Amhersturg as we unpack these truths...

Have you ever told God about your struggles? We’ve all learned to wait on God to deliver on His promises. You wanted God to come through with His promises and it doesn’t happen according to your time schedule, so you resign yourself to the inevitable, get discouraged and think to yourself God’s not going to deliver me. We need to get our eyes off our circumstances and focus on who God is. In this...

What is the truth about the sin of Sodom?  Ezekiel 16:49-50 says, “Behold, this was the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had pride, excess of food, and prosperous ease, but did not aid the poor and needy. They were haughty and did an abomination before me. So I removed them, when I saw it.” Sodom fell into the slippery slope of sin. The people of Sodom pursued the gratification of...

God calls us to follow Him. In this weeks study, God calls Abram and makes a covenant with him. When challenges come he displays a lack of faith in God. Many times as believers we don't understand that trials and suffering are part of God's plan in our lives, to teach us to grow in faith. Join us as we unpack Genesis 12 in this week's podcast from Lighthouse. Join us every Sunday mo...

The story of Noah's ark and the great flood is often thought of as a fairy tale. It is however a stern reminder of God's judgement on ungodly people and His great grace in saving Noah and his family. Join us this in this Sunday's message from Lighthouse as we look into this story and it's profound implications for us today.

Here's a few take aways for you from this week's sermon about the Tower of Babel, presented by our very own Lighthouse elder, Jim Hubert. Pastor Adrian will be back with us next Sunday.  See you in church! Are you building a figurative "tower"? Is your identity tied to your "tower"? Does your "tower" bring glory to God, or does it bring attention to yourself...

The movie Titanic is a story of a surprise flood and a great ship. The story revolves around two characters, Jack and Rose. Genesis six focuses on a great flood, a great ship (the ark) and Noah with his family. Each involves people that were indifferent to the gospel. Each story has tragedy. Noah's story presents us with hope. Join us this week unpack the truth in our podcast from Lighthouse...

This week, we will be studying from Genesis 4. What we will learn is that God has specific directions on how we are to approach Him. Our problem is thinking that we can get to God and attain true spirituality on our own terms, apart from the Bible and apart from the Lord Jesus Christ. Join us in our podcast from Lighthouse, as we unpack these truths.

Sin is insidious and can create a lot of harm. Ravi Zaccharias said… "Sin will take you farther than you want to go, keep you longer than you want to stay, and cost you more than you want to pay". We play around with it like its no big deal, yet it produces disastrous results.  We openly see it being mocked like its no big deal. There is an awful price to pay for sin. Join us as we conti...

The origin of sin is a lesson we can all learn from. The pattern and process of attack by Satan is one that he still continues to  use. Unfortunately we still succumb to it's treachery. Join us as we unpack these truths from Genesis in this week's podcast from Lighthouse Church in Amherstburg.  You are always welcome to join us in person at 9:30 for prayer and 10:30 for our service each...

God created our physical bodies from the dust of the earth. We were also made in the image of God, receiving life from God. We were created with rational and moral capacities which distinguish us from all other creatures. We were designed for specific roles and communion with God. Join us in this week's podcast from Lighthouse Church, 266 King Street, Amherstburg as we unpack these truths fro...

Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.  1 Timothy 6:17 Join us as we unpack the truth in God's Word as it relates to money and how we should treat it.  Learn today if you own your things, or if your things own you.

To fight the good fight of faith means that we stand firmly anchored in the Word and in the power of the Spirit, considering ourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus. We have to do what Jesus says: Deny ourselves and take up the cross daily and follow him. (Luke 9:23) Learn how to fight the good fight! Join us for this week's podcast as we unpack these truths at Lighthouse churc...

To be a follower of Christ does not release us from unpleasant and challenging situations. The question I need to ask myself is, do my relationships reflect Christlike character? As believers we ought to take the high road, which is applying godly standards in the circumstances we find ourselves in. Lighthouse Church will bear a greater witness to the town of Amherstburg, when we are being transfo...

Leaders can make or break a church. What makes leadership such a big responsibility? One part of the answer is implicit in 1 Timothy 5:17-25. The importance of the congregation's trust in its leadership. A member's mistakes may affect only the member, but an elder's mistakes affect the whole church. Truthfully, if a church is to continue to exist and to carry out its God-given task,...

In 1 Timothy 5:1-16, Paul teaches us how we should be treating people in the church. Just as families care for one another, we as the church family need to care for one another within the church body. In this passage we look at two of those groups of people within the church body. Those who need guidance or correction, which is never an easy thing to do. We'll also examine how we can look aft...

Life is a series of choices. The question is, are we men making the right ones? Our choices will have impact for generations. What we do will influence those around us for good or bad. We are to live our lives for the glory of God and bring honor to Him. We are not to be narcissistic in our thinking but rather servant leaders. Listen to our Father's Day sermon from Lighthouse as we unpack the...

Love, Favour, Kindness, Blessing - Grace. In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God.

No matter your age, location, talent or knowledge, you make an impression on people. We make our mark on people through our behaviour and actions (Matt. 3:13-16). This is really elementary but should be said: You cannot preach and teach what you have not read and studied and prepared to live out. Join us in this episode of our podcast, from Sunday, June 2nd @ Lighthouse as we unpack these truths....

We are challenged to train ourselves to be godly. This means we are to exercise ourselves routinely with determination, which takes discipline and purposeful decision. In the same way, prayer, fasting, studying the bible and other spiritual disciplines are helpful in developing a fuller relationship with Christ. In this week's podcast from Lighthouse we'll study this further. We'd l...
