The Lighthouse Midlothian

As we continue our talks on missions, we focus on the book of Acts, a book wholly dedicated to the mission of the Church, and how we are to go out into the world to fulfill the mission: by working alongside the Holy Spirit.

To finalize our Mission's Week (Turned into Mission's Month), our Mexico Mission's team returns with a report that of how God touched and worked in Mexico.

As our Mission's team is in Mexico, Resident Prayer Coordinator Dominikus Hinda leads us in a time of intercession for the team as well as a message of the importance of prayer in fighting against everything that comes against those on the mission field.

As we continue our Mission's Week and prepare to send out our Mission's team to Mexico, Guest speaker Richard Apfel comes with a word that regardless of how unqualified you believe you may be to do mission's work, God see's otherwise. He will surround you and equip you with people who will help support you on your work, no matter what you look like.

We are kicking off Mission's Week here at Lighthouse, and who better to help kick it off than Missionary to Zimbabwe and lifelong friend of the Lighthouse, Ruthanne Garlock, who comes with a message of when things are difficult and the world surrounds you with words of trouble and chaos, who will you believe: The word of the chaos, or the Word of the Lord?

Mother's Day is a special time for us. It is a time for us to honor those who helped bring us into this world and the efforts they made to help raise us. But what about those who have lost? Widows. Orphans. Today we look at Isaiah 54 and learn that despite having experience loss or infertility, God still cares and tells to rejoice in spite of their troubles. 

If you ever had the feeling that you were being held back, imprisoned, or that you are boxed in, know that through God, nothing can stop you. This week we look at Acts and understand that no matter the circumstances that surround you, you will always make it to where God wants you to be, even if it looks impossible.

Over the last year, the word of "normal" has been said a lot. When are we going back to "normal"? This person will bring us back to "normal". I guess this is the new "normal". But what does it mean to be "normal"? This week, guest speaker Scott Hinkle teaches on how with Jesus, there is no normal that exists on this earth, but there is a continually new normal with Him.

"Can these bones yet live?" This was the question the Lord asked Ezekiel, even though He knew the answer. When God asks us a question, he isn't asking because He doesn't know, but because He wants us to partake in His miracle. As we learn this week about the prophetic, we learn that when the Lord asks us a question like that, we have the opportunity to join in and speak out His words. He even tells us what to say when we don't know what to say!

When troubles come, it is easy for us to hold on to the problems and try to navigate our way through it. But what if we didn't? This week, we get the 411 on faith and how Jesus has been given authority over everything, regardless of the situation.
