Preaching Podcast Ep. #123 - The God of Transformation (Pastor Jonathan Aranton)

Image
Philemon is the shortest of the letters written by the Apostle Paul. In it he writes to Philemon, a disciple of his whose life he has seen transformed.  Just like how Paul's life was transformed by God, he has seen the same happen to Philemon so let us be the kind of discipler who helps a person grow into the knowledge and direction of the Lord. Let us be blessed today by the preaching of Pastor Jonathan Aranton as he expounds further on this short but meaningful scripture. #LighthouseOnline

Preaching Podcast Ep. #122 - Arise! (Pastor Jojo Baldo)

Image
What if Jesus did not resurrect? Or What if Jesus died again and again every Holy Friday? Can you imagine a world where God is dead? What sense of futility would we be struggling against? How hopeless would life be?  "For the death he died he died to sin, once for all, but the life he lives he lives to God." (Romans 6:10) On that early Sunday morning, the voice of the Father rang out in the tomb where the body of Jesus was: "ARISE", and the course of history was altered forever. "God raised him up, loosing the pangs of death, because it was not possible for him to be held by it." (Acts 2:24) Let us join Pastor Jojo Baldo as he leads us in our Resurrection Sunday celebration. #LighthouseOnline

Preaching Podcast Ep. #121 - God: Our Redemption's Anchor (Pastor Jojo Baldo)

How do you overcome the strong forces of culture that are against the values of goodness and honorable living? Where do you get the conviction to live a life that is the exact opposite of what the people around you are doing? Do you run away from that kind of environment? Or do you engage the culture and redeem it for Christ's glory? This is the background of the Book of Titus. A young pastor was thrust into a place where the overpowering culture was that of lies, violence, and immorality. How would he pastor a newly-birthed Church which found itself in the middle of this dark and depraved place?  Let us join Pastor Jojo Baldo as he leads us into this practical study of the Word of God. The realities then are still the realities now. The Word of God remains timeless and timely. #LighthouseOnline

Preaching Podcast Ep. #120 - God: The Sustainer of Our Heritage of Faith (Pastor Jojo Baldo)

Have you ever thought what would be your last few words to your loved ones when your life's end will have drawn near? As emotional as this question might sound for some, it is also tricky. No one knows when will life's end come. Therefore no one is certain when will those moments of "last few words" be. 2 Timothy was written under those circumstances. The Apostle Paul had this gnawing feeling that the good fight had already been fought, and the end of the race already had come. So he wrote to his child in the faith, a young pastor named Timothy. The epistle was the valedictory address of a saint who for more than three decades contended for the faith, travelled the great distance, and overcame unspeakable odds, just to be faithful to the Lord Jesus who commissioned him. The spiritual truths in these pages still speak volumes to the present-day sojourners. May it speak to your heart and soul as well. Pastor Jojo Baldo leads us in this Sunday's worship service. Come...
