The Lighthouse Midlothian

Anxiety is all to common in today's world, that is certain. The question is, what do we do when we get anxious? This week, we look to Paul's letter to the Philippians and find that the best way to have peace is by going to the Prince of Peace Himself.

It goes without really saying: Words are Powerful. They can create. They can destroy. They can encourage. They can discourage. So how do we meter our words and make sure we say the right things? We measure them against the Word. This week we look into Isaiah and how words matter.

If 2020 has shown us anything it is that often plans that we make never go according to how we want. But that should not discourage us to not make plans at all. In this New Year, we discuss that we should continue on with making plans and scheduling out our year simply out of wisdom, but to also leave our plans up to the Lord and focus each day on Him.

As the year comes to a close, we look back at what is important about being a Christian: Walking as a child of God. Elder Geary Barret shares his tales on how just being a child of God has helped bring people peace and life through humble circumstances.

As we continue our look through Romans, we come to a word that best explains what we needed to make it through this year, if not any year: Endurance, Encouragement, and Hope. But where is it that we get these three things and how about do we receive them?

God has a will for us all, that is for certain, but do we know what His will is? As we continue our look through Romans, we look at what it is that God wills for us as well as how we are able to carry that out.

It is easy to say that you know something. You can study something forever and say that you know something, but when it comes right down to it, do you really know? This week we look at the differences between Jesus and the Pharisees and while the Pharisees knew the letter of the Law, Jesus knew who the Pharisees missed: the Lawmaker.

What does it mean to be righteous? This week, Children's Pastor Christina Aguilar takes us through the story of Jesus healing on the Sabbath and asks the question, is righteousness doing good works or is it bringing life?

It is the week of Thanksgiving, and this week we reflect back on the first Thanksgiving in America. We look at how a group of people, seeking out freedoms and suffering loss, managed to celebrate abundance and life with the natives, and how we can reflect that same attitude of gratitude in our lives as well.

All things require some sort of sacrifice. Living for Christ absolutely requires a sacrifice. This morning, we look at Romans and try to answer how we are able to live daily as sacrifices for Christ and what results when we do give up ourselves.
