Lighthouse Baptist Church - Reno, NV - Audio Podcast

Sermon Preached: 9-6-2015 Sun PM We see the Psalmist asking God to search him, to look to the deepest part of what he is, his own heart.  Why would the Psalmist ask this?  And, why would any of us ask it?  The reason is simple.  We cannot know our own hearts as well as God […]

Sermon Preached: 9-6-2015 Sun AM The flood narrative in Gen 6-8 is difficult to understand in light of the self-sacrificing nature of God revealed in Jesus Christ on the cross. How can the God who drowns everybody on earth because of their sin, be the same God who dies for everybody on earth because of […]

Sermon Preached: 8-30-2015 Sun AM God saw how great wickedness had become and decided to wipe mankind from the face of the earth (Gen 6:7). About 1,650-years into human history, the flood came and God destroyed the human race, drowning them all. There could have been upwards of 7 billion people on the earth at […]

Sermon Preached: 8-23-2015 Sun PM I’m going to tell you one of the primary reasons why people that we may have spiritually looked up to have changed. …Why those who seemed to spiritually have it all together, self-destruct and are only a shadow of what they used to be. …Why those who once served God […]

Sermon Preached: 8-23-2015 Sun AM The ultimate lie for Satan is this, there never will be any judgment for sin. Right? Restraint is placed by God in the form of judgment. So what does Satan want to do? He wants to eliminate that restraint. Satan always lies about judgment…and the consequences of sin. Well, Eve’s […]

Sermon Preached: 8-16-2015 Sun PM Pastor Darren Robinson Hometown Revival

Sermon Preached: 8-16-2015 Sun AM In today’s message, we will trace SIN and SUFFERING to its earthly origins and causes. Few could deny that something is desperately wrong with the world in which we live. God’s Word clearly and emphatically tells us WHY the world is in such a pathetic condition. By divine permission, Satan […]

Sermon Preached: 8-9-2015 Sun PM The book of Hebrews was written to Hebrew Christians admonishing them not to turn back but to go forward and be all that their potential would allow them to be in the will of God.  This neglecting of so great salvation is not that of the unsaved man neglecting being […]

Sermon Preached: 8-9-15 Sun AM Both evolution and creation rely on ‘unobserved’ events—non-repeatable singularities. Both are views of history outside the realm of ‘observational’ science.  “Science” (the very meaning of which is knowledge) necessarily can deal only with those things which exist at present. The scientific method involves reproducibility…the study of present natural processes.  When […]

Sermon Preached: 8/2/2015 Sun PM You work hard, but you don’t make progress.  You show up to practice every day, giving it your all, but you lose every game.  You spend time with your child – going out of your way to parent the best you know how – but they rebel. Discouragement eats a […]

Sermon Preached: 8/2/2015 Sun AM The primary purpose of Genesis 1 is to teach us theologically about who the Creator is and to teach us theologically about what creation is. The Bible is not a science book…yet, it is scientifically accurate. Science means knowledge, and true science always agrees with the observable evidence. Scientific research […]

Sermon Preached: 7/26/2015 Sun PM Guest Preacher: Pastor Kerry Brown pastors in Marysville California and preached for our July Hometown Revival

Sermon Preached: 7/26/2015 Sun AM That which was given to us by God, with the intention of bringing us joy, that which was an expression of God’s love…can often lead us to look away from God. Or maybe, we just take the blessing for granted and if we are not careful, we actually begin taking […]

Sermon Preached: 7/12/2015 Sun AM Life often places us in situations that makes it very difficult for us to experience a peace and calmness of heart. What are we to do during those times when an anxious and restless spirit robs us of our peace? How do you get peace when you are in a […]

Sermon Preached: 7/12/2015 Sun PM Worry comes when you face a problem, and you feel your inadequacy to overcome it. When it’s out of your control … you start to worry about it. Now, the sin comes in when you determine that you’re not going to give that concern over to God, but you’re going […]

Sermon Preached: 7/5/2015 AM On this 4th of July weekend it is right and proper to reflect upon God AND Country. SECRETARY OF STATE JOHN FOSTER DULLES who served as U.S. Secretary of State under President Dwight D. Eisenhower from 1953 to 1959. warned: “Our institutions of freedom will not survive unless they are constantly […]

Sermon Preached: 7/5/2015 PM The Book of Lamentations is written by Jeremiah in response to the Babylonian captivity of Jerusalem. As Jeremiah looked out and saw the destruction of Jerusalem and the results of the sin of the people of Judah—his eye saw the awful carnage and his HEART was touched—his HEART was affected.  Jerusalem’s […]

Sermon preached: 6/28/2015 AM Home-time Revival… Guest Preacher: Cameron Giovanelli: President of Golden State Baptist College

Sermon Preached: 6/21/2015 PM I find it saddening that there are so many churches these days that claim to love God, yet tolerate sin, tolerate evil in their midst and bare the name of Christ. This nonsense circulating in churches today about love, cooperation and unity that doesn’t hate sin, false religion and worldliness is […]

Sermon Preached: 6/21/2015 AM While most of us will not experience landing in jail or being locked in a prison cell, there are ways that our heart can be taken captive and our minds locked up in very painful situations! These times of “prison” are painful … and we often wonder WHY God permits these. […]

Sermon Preached: 6/14/2015 AM FINDING PURPOSE IN THE PROCESS OF WAITING (part 1) What are you waiting for today? What longing do you have that seems so far from ever being fulfilled? What prayer do you keep on praying that seems to never reach God’s ears? IF He is making you wait, there is a […]

Sermon Preached: 6/14/2015 PM Waiting is a part of God’s plan. Often we don’t even know why we are waiting. But God does! God has very special plans for your life, and the way He most often prepares you for them is through times of directed, active, purposeful waiting. If that be true…then…WAITING IS NEVER […]

Sermon Preached: 4/12/2015 PM Something that should get one’s attention and cause some deep concern is to realize that one day every person will stand before God and give an account of his/her life. It makes no difference the circumstances that one is surrounded by or the influences that he/she must live with, every single […]

Sermon Preached: 4/12/2015 AM In Bible times, cities had walls around them to help defend them from attack. Broken parts of the wall created a physical gap in the city’s ability to protect itself from invading armies. In this Bible verse, because there is a gap in the wall, God is looking for someone to […]

Sermon Preached: 9-21-2014 AM As a student of the Bible for more than 40-years I have learned, through my own life experiences as well as through the observation of others life experiences, that failure to follow God’s Word in Its entirety always ends in regret, disappointment and shipwreck. I believe that one of the major […]

Sermon preached: 9/15/2014 PM  Missions Revival… Guest preacher:  J.D Hampton: Evangelist, Arizona (Missions Revival)

Sermon Preached: 7-26-14 AM Decadence is a good word to describe human history. “Decadent” means marked by decay and decline. Believe me, the history of man is not evolution, its devolution. It’s not getting better, it’s getting worse. Human history is in decline.The society of man has been on the decline ever since the fall […]

Sermon Preached: 7/20/2014 AM Time is the most precious commodity we have. Minutes lost will never be regained. Yet, in a strange and wonderful way God says He can do a work of restoration. I’m reminded of the story of Samson. It’s the story of a young man with great talent and great promise. He […]

Sermon preached: 11/04/13 Revival… Guest preacher:  Pastor Bruce Goddard: Pastor of Faith Baptist Church, Wildomar, CA (Fall Revival)

Sermon preached: 11/03/13 a.m. service… One of the greater temptations for more mature Christians is the tendency to be busy in the work of the Lord while neglecting the Lord of the work.  The heartbeat of all that we do in ministry and in service to the Lord ought to be done because of our […]

Sermon preached: 11/03/13 a.m. service… Today, I want us to consider…WHAT IS IN THE NAME ‘CHRISTIAN’? What is a Christian AND what makes a Christian…a Christian? A name evokes an image. When you hear a name it creates a picture in your mind that creates a good or bad emotional response. Many people have proudly […]

Sermon preached: 10/27/13 p.m. service… Guest preacher: Bro. Mark Cabangon (Chairman of Lighthouse Baptist Church Deacon Board)

Sermon preached: 10/20/13 a.m. service… Did you know that what you do daily determines what you become permanently? Your daily habits are creating your future. You are a result today of yesterday’s habits, good or bad. This is true in every area of life. The secret to your future success is hidden in your day-to-day […]

Sermon preached: 10/20/13 p.m. service… People seem to be shameless these days. Nudity, disregard for human life and profane words spew out of people’s mouths on and of the TV screen and few apologize or have a sense that what is being said or heard is offensive to God. We have called good, what God […]

Sermon preached: 10/13/13 p.m. service… If we look back at the definition of the word “sanctuary,” we find that the church is a place that is set apart for a special purpose. Times have changed though. Somewhere along the way, we started calling the “Sanctuary” the “Auditorium,” and now it is called the “Worship Center.” […]

Sermon preached: 10/13/13 a.m. service… I don’t think that there is anyone here today who doesn’t want to be right with God…you’re here today because you have a desire and a longing to be right with God.  This Bible is filled with thousands of subjects that deal with your life…some of the subjects you are […]

Sermon preached: 10/06/13 a.m. service… Do you find with a worn out spirit? Are you tired? Are you tempted to do less than your best for the Lord? Do you find yourself losing enthusiasm for the Lord’s work? Perhaps you are beginning to believe that it is not worth the effort to live for Jesus.Christians […]

Sermon preached: 10/06/13 p.m. service… They that wait upon the Lord shall not grow weary.  As long as we are waiting upon the Lord, and as long as we have His strength, then we will not grow weary and we will not faint.  So the text is teaching us that we ought to seek our […]

Sermon preached: 10/02/13 p.m. service… Guest preacher:  Missionary Bryan Stensaas: Missionary to Uganda Africa

Sermon preached: 09/29/13 p.m. service… My goal today is to get you to understand that you have a reason to get back up.You have a reason every time you fall to dust yourself off and get back up. You and I have spent years on building a marriage and building a family and building a […]

Sermon preached: 09/29/13 a.m. service… Many books have been written about our purpose in life. All of us at one time or another have asked those probing question, “WHY AM I HERE?” A second question of significance is:  DOES MY LIFE MATTER? And a third question of intention: WHAT IS MY PURPOSE? People have fretted […]

Sermon preached: 09/22/13 p.m. service… In our story you have a woman that was guilty of adultery…and you have a group of men that were guilty of a guilt in their conscience from their past. Both knew they were wrong; both the woman who had committed adultery knew she was wrong and the men knew […]

Sermon preached: 09/22/13 a.m. service… [pan-uh–see–uh] an answer or solution for all problems or difficulties: a remedy for all disease or ills; cure-all. We all get wounded in life…it can come maybe because of what someone has done to us; we can also wound ourselves when we do something to someone else and we realize what […]

Sermon preached: 09/15/13 a.m. service… How could one see what Israel saw and know what Israel knew, yet be disobedient and rebellious and fall in the wilderness? They watched God bring plague after plague upon the Egyptians, culminating with the death of the firstborn. They not only saw the Egyptians drown in the Red Sea […]

Sermon preached: 09/15/13 p.m. service… Guest preacher:  Pastor Darren Robinson: Pastor of Rock of Ages Baptist Church, Fallon, NV (Hometown Revival)

Sermon preached: 09/08/13 a.m. service… Guest preacher:  Evangelist Joe Elwell (Great ComMISSION Revival)

Sermon preached: 09/01/13 p.m. service… When you feel angry, how do you respond?  Do you look for someone else to blame?  Do you look inside?  Do you look to God?  Do you look at circumstances? Anger is a very dangerous emotion, and it’s one we must respond to correctly or experience its destructive effects upon […]
