The Holy Spirit is a game changer. When the Holy Spirit come into your life, it changes everything. It fills you with a spirit of power and life and love. In the Old testament the Holy Spirit would come on people but it would not come on everyone. The first person mentioned in the Bible that became full of the Spirit was Bezalel. He was an artist a…

It is God’s purpose in this world to bring people together. In the beginning, God created the universe with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit does not point to himself. One of the first mentions of the Holy Spirit was by a king that didn’t even know him. Joseph foretold to Pharaoh that there would be famine. Pharaoh knew Joseph was right because he …

Immersion is taking something a dunking it in water. It needs to go under the water. Completely covered. We practice water baptism but we also believe in spirit baptism. To be baptized in the spirit you must be thirsty for the Holy Spirit. We need the Holy Spirit. We just don’t know it. The Holy Spirit comes in different ways in the Old and New Tes…

Are you thirsty? Then you need to take a drink. When you don’t drink enough water you get dehydrated and all kinds of things can go wrong. Pain, infections, all sorts of things. We are dehydrated as a church. We are not drinking enough or the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is kind of like the fluids you put in the engine of your car. We all know abou…

The first commandment is "“I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. You shall have no other gods before me." This puts God firmly in His place as the Lord of everything and the deliverer of His people. The second commandment is “You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above…

We need to beware of worshiping other gods. A god can be anything that you put ahead of God. It can be money or statues or even a car or a house! It makes no sense to worship something that is made by man.God transcends all of that.由Andy Millar/Fils Ekanga

A discussion of Christian life in Pakistan. Presented by the founder of Shining Light International Ministry.由Pastor Sajjid Masih

As a church we need to know the ten commandments and to understand them. Our religion is based on them. Our country is based on them. They are the rules that show us how to live our lives. When we stop following them we open ourselves to all sorts of problems and begin to fail as a culture. Sometimes people say the they are part of the Old Testamen…

Over 2000 years ago Jesus entered Jerusalem riding on a donkey and the people laid down their coats and palm branches to cover the ground and they shouted “Hosanna.” But what they were shouting is different than what we shout today. What they were saying was a plea to be saved. But when we say it, He has already saved us. For us it is a declaration…

What is the role of a bridge? Connection! The bridge is there to help connect two sides easily. Maybe it is a river or a ravine. Sin and disobedience put a barrier between humans and God. Man is lost because of sin. Man is living far from God. But God is full of grace and mercy. So even with this barrier, God continued to love man. No matter who yo…

Installation of Loth Lanongo as an elder of our church. This is very important in the life of our church. Elders help guide the pastor and the congregation in prayer and counseling. In this episode, Pastor Andy spends some time discussing elders and talking especially about Loth. Joshua was told by the Lord to be bold and be strong. And very courag…

Achan hid treasure that he stole from Jericho. God had said they were to destroy everything and not loot. When Israel got to Ai, they were defeated. Humiliated. So after prayer and investigation, Achan’s sin was discovered and he and everything he had, including his family, had to be destroyed. In chapter 8, God had a new message for Joshua. Really…

A very short message following the annual business meeting of the church. The importance of tithing is discussed.由Andy Millar/Fils Ekanga

The city of Jericho was destroyed and the people were instructed to not take anything for themselves. No looting! Looting was the norm after a battle at that time. But God said “NO!” It was forbidden. Many of the soldiers didn’t like that. Achan saw some things in one of the houses that he wanted to keep. He decided that it would not hurt and no on…

If someone says something three times it means it is very important. God is not holy three times. He is holy more than three times. Three times is not enough for Him! He is holy so much we can’t even say it. But jewish people say it three times. Even Jesus on the cross said “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” That is how serious it was. When we talk ab…

| We need to take this land for the Lord. Denver is not going to give up its people for nothing. Moses is dead. God has told Joshua to be bold and strong. He was to take the nation of Israel across the Jordan river. The Jordan was about a mile wide and was in flood stage. God told Joshua to just walk in to the river. The priests were terrified. But…

Joshua and all of the people were on one side of the Jordan River. On the other side lay the Promised Land. The river was at flood stage. It was flowing fast and wide. It’s going to take a lot of miracles to get the people across. But God said “Be bold!” You have to be careful not to go out ahead of God. Wait for His timing. Then be bold. When we a…

How can we see God as a bigger God. Send up bigger prayers. Move from listening and knowing to doing. Putting your faith into action and making it your own. People who strengthen their faith are those who actually put it into practice. You don’t have to be perfect. It is ok to fail when you step out in faith. Your faith, your story grows anyway. Go…

Joshua has recently become the leader of all of the Israelites. About two million people. God had told him to be bold and strong because God is with him. Joshua had been one of the spies that Moses sent to spy out the promised land. So Joshua sent two spies to Jericho to the house of Rahab. Rahab was reputed to be a prostitute but that might not be…

Jesus taught that we should not judge so that we will not be judged. We have a tendency to see all of the problems that other people have but are unable to see their own problems. Life is not fair. Only God is fair. We expect more from others that we are able to give. We what people to be perfect and we are ready to punish them when they fail. But …

We see a river flowing from the throne of God. This isn’t like a river in Colorado It is deep and wide and flows a long way. It flows through the city of God. And there is a tree alongside of it and it is the Tree of Life. We also saw the tree of life in the garden of Eden. This tree brings life. It has 12 crops per year, one per month. The fruit i…

God is with us! When things are going great, God is with you. When you hit a rough patch, God is with you. When you are tempted, remember that God is with you. When you take on a big challenge, God is with you. One of Jesus’ names is Emmanuel which means God with us. In the garden of Eden, God was there with Adam and Eve until sin separated Him fro…

In Rev. 21 the devil has been conquered. The false prophet and the beast have been thrown into the lake of fire. Now comes the good part! This is where the victory comes. A new heaven and a new Earth because the first heaven and the first Earth were passed away. God has never given up on us! He hasn’t even given up on the Earth. Not even during the…

The Christmas story in Matthew chapter 2. This story is different from the story as told in Luke. They are told from different perspectives and intended for different audiences. By reading both we actually get a better view of the whole story. Matthew 2 to told mostly from the perspective of Joseph. In Luke it is more from the perspective on Mary. …

Revelation 20 is kind of like the new testament version of Sodom and Gomorrah. This talks about judgement. That is when God is deciding what is going to happen. Some people think they should just live the way they want to and when they get to heaven they will reason with God and convince Him that it is OK. The bible teaches thet God is true and tha…

This is the testimony of Loth Lanongo. I was the first born of 12 children. My father was a pastor and was in the army. When I was 15 years old we were in the city named Bunia. I was sleeping and woke up at 5 am to go to school. But I was so tired that I remained in bed and I saw a light coming through the roof and it filled the room. And there was…

In the beginning of chapter 19 we saw the three hallelujahs showing that God is God and there is no other. They started right before the final battle. At the end of the hallelujahs it was so beautiful that John fell down and worshiped the angel. But the angel stopped him. We are not to worship angels. We are to worship the creator and not the creat…

This chapter begins the conclusion of Revelation. We are beginning to see all of the victory that God is bringing. This book is really about worship. The battle between heaven and hell is coming to an end. Even if we don’t have the victory in hand yet, it is time to rejoice and worship before it is finished. When Paul and Silas were in prison they …

The message for today is “Going back to the gates.” To summarize, this is the story of Mordecai who found a job to be a gate man. While at the gates three things happened. First, some people plotted to kill the king and Mordecai told Esther about the plot. The only reward he got was to write his name in the book of souvenir and that is all. Even th…

Chapter 18 contains a lament over a city that has not yet been destroyed. It is a prophetic action. The city is Babylon, the city of the harlot. We know it as Rome. The city of Rome today is not the same as the Rome we know today. How are we supposed to view this today? Today the enemy of the Lord is everywhere, in every city. Today, we need to pro…

In the bible we read about a new heaven and a new earth. That is the picture of how a church or a world should look. What are the characteristics? “The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion and the yearling together and a little child will lead them. The cow will feed the bear, their young will…

In chapter 17 we see an illustration of some of the judgement from the previous chapter. It is illustrated by a prostitute (named Babylon). Babylon is a picture of the sin of the world. Babylon was a great kingdom that ruled over much of the world and destroyed Jerusalem. They took the holy items from the temple and desecrated them. We need to resp…

The Light of the Nations’ 10th Anniversary celebration. A discussion of the past 10 years and all of the good things that have happened. Also, a brief message from Pastor Sam Rockwell.由Andy Millar/Donna Millar/Fils Ekanga/Sam Rockwell

We were created to be power assisted. We were not created to do it ourselves. Without the Holy Spirit anything you accomplish will not be long lasting. It won’t be eternal. You must surrender to the Lord so that God can baptize you with fire. You must surrender everything to the Lord. Your finances. Your family. Your marriage. Everything. And God w…

Revelation is a prophetic book that teaches about what God is going to do. Chapter 15 talks about the final 7 judgments of God. These are the seven bowls. Each of the bowls will be poured out upon the earth. The trouble comes to the world that has not accepted Jesus Christ as savior. Before they are poured out there is a song of praise to God. Vict…
