...and a hockey mom? Lipstick!
I hope the title was tantalizing enough to draw your attention. It’s hard to believe that the first time I ever paid attention to that catchphrase in its entirety was twelve years ago! Then Republican Governor Sarah Palin was the witty, intelligent, beautiful, successful, traditional, and modest vice-presidential nominee: the definition of Christian counter-culture and an automatic and,…

Why have you come?
Why have you come?
I grew up in a small denominational church. On any given Sunday, we had about 110 people in the building. The church was packed, the choir loft was full, the pews were spoken for, the hymns were old, and the message was good: the pastor would hit you over the head with brimstone, slap a cross on your back, wash your tears away with the Blood, and have you rejoicing as Resurrection came at the end…

A call to Ministry – July 12th, 2020 – Lighthouse Assembly of God
From the moment God saves you, He calls you into ministry: a ministry of service to Him. We are not saved so we could be “rocking-chair” Christians: merely sitting idly by as we wait out the clock; but rather to be as salmon swimming upstream: against the current! We must be a visible sign of the invisible God and of the life-changing Power that He has displayed in our lives!

Debilitating Doubt
There’s a scene in the Left Behind movie series where the pastor is standing on the pulpit looking out into an empty congregation; the Rapture occurred and, believe it or not, he was…left behind! He goes through a monologue where He’s talking to God about “how could it be” that he would stand up there week after week and, of the whole congregation, the shepherd was the one who’s faith wasn’t…

Father's Day Message -June 21st - Lighthouse Assembly of God
Father’s Day Message -June 21st – Lighthouse Assembly of God
You do the best you can: bring them to church every week, prayers in the morning before school, at dinnertime and at night before bed; you surround them with godly influences and sound biblical advice but, one day, they are out there, in the wide wide world making decisions, on their own. Today’s message, drawn from 1 Samuel Chapters 9, 10, and 15, Pastor Geer shares with us a familiar story of a…

Choose Life!!! – June 14th, 2020 – Lighthouse Assembly of God
Perhaps the most mistitled book in the whole of the Bible is the book of Revelations: it is not very easy to understand. That is why, surely, it has been misunderstood and misinterpreted throughout the last two thousand years of Church history. In today’s message, Pastor Geer helps us to shed some light on perhaps the most widely spoken about figures of the entire Revelation account: the 4…

Folly of Indiscretion – June 7th, 2020 – Lighthouse Assembly of God
You don’t often hear preachers talk about such topics; but, after all, Pastor Geer, is not just any preacher. Western Christianity has, unfortunately, become too accustomed to soft, soothing words that build ego rather than character, remove insult rather than faults, and instill a false sense of righteousness rather than fear and trembling before a Sovereign God. https://biblehub.com/matthew/5-…

The Anointing of Jesus – May 3rd, 2020 – Lighthouse Assembly of God
In the Gospel of Luke, Jesus teaches us, “Therefore I tell you, because her many sins have been forgiven, she has loved much. But he who has been forgiven little loves little”. (7:47) Our gratitude is often based on how much we receive: a big gift gets the giver public praises and posts on FaceBook; a small gift, gets you a handshake, and a semi-sincere smile. Let’s follow along with Pastor Geer…

Mother’s Day Message – May 10th, 2020 – Lighthouse Assembly of God
In today’s special Mother’s Day message, Pastor Geer talks to us about an often unsung hero of Biblical Antiquity: Mose’s mother. The second chapter of the second Book of the Pentateuchintroduces us to Moses, whom God will call to deliver the Israelites from Egyptian oppression. But before all of his divinely-inspired exploits and exceptional human fails, we see how the determination of Kingdom…

The Tragedy of Rejection - May 17th, 2020 - Lighthouse Assembly of God
The Tragedy of Rejection – May 17th, 2020 – Lighthouse Assembly of God
For many people around the world, including in the view of many Christians, God is a Universal Acme Bag that is constantly at our beck and call; an errand boy that is there to give us what we want with little to no consideration towards Him before or After we have received.
But, have you ever heard the phrase, “God is not mocked”?
This is exactly what Pastor Geer’s message is about today. Reading…

The Blame Game – May 31st, 2020 – Lighthouse Assembly of God
In today’s message entitled “The Blame Game”, Pastor Geer brings us to a very familiar but often overlooked passage of Scripture about accountability and personal responsibility, where the echoes of this oversight are apparent all around us in our modern world. But first, we invite you to worship along with us to the praises and glory of God the Father through His Son and our Savior Jesus Christ.

Jehovah Rohi
Before he became king, David was a shepherd. Before he wrote the Psalms, he pondered them in his heart, I believe, for many years.
Imagine David, out with his flock one day and, as a stroke of lightning, as he tended his own sheep, he pondered the following: (please read with emphasis)
Psa 23:1-6 BSB 1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads

Catch 33!
We’ve all heard of a “Catch 22”; it’s a situation where no matter which option you choose, you’re always wrong, always in trouble, you’re still stuck: you’re d—-d if you do and you’re d—-d if you don’t!
But have you ever considered the omplications of the following: “If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.” Romans…

Under the Circumstances
My pastor tells a story of two friends. The two men had been friends for a long time, served in the War together, lived in the same city for many years after that, married two ladies who had been best friends for most of their lives. As it happens in life, things change, people have families and they start growing apart. After many years, the two men run in to each other by sheer chance at a…

King for a Day
What did the Romans see when they saw Jesus on the colt of a donkey? What did it mean to the teachers of the Law?
When I was growing up we would play a game called “would you rather”. It went like this: one person would ask you to choose between to seemingly polar opposite. You would answer the question and then the roles would revers or, if there were more people playing, the person that had just answered the question would now pose a “would you rather” question to the next person until everyone got a turn…

Who do the people say that I am?
I have a friend whom I’ve known for a long time. After high school, he went into the Army and after that went straight into the Police Academy. He is the epitome of a soldier: happy and cheerful while off-duty but serious and orderly on-duty. Whenever we would go out to the movie theaters or bars or diners, we would inevitably strike up conversations with total strangers. We would get to talking…

"Greater Than" Series - Part 2
Jonah spent 3 days and nights in the belly of a huge fish...and lived!!! So who can be greater than Jonah?
In Part One of the series, we grappled with the greatness of the Temple: what it meant to the Israelites and the consequences and significance of Jesus’ statement of being “Greater than the Temple“. But that was just one part of a much larger discourse Jesus shared that day with His disciples, the people about them and the band of Pharisees and Scribes that followed them around continuously…
