A Message From our Pastor...

I would like to personally invite you to become a part of our church family here at the
Lighthouse.  As Pastor of the Lighthouse Baptist Church, I believe a church should be a place of
worship and a place where friendships are established and people are helped.

I try to make the atmosphere of our church one where people want to come, rather than feeling
as if they have to come.  Our church is not a place where a bunch of hypocritical Christians meet
to let everyone know how spiritual they are or to show off their new outfits.  We here at the
Lighthouse are just regular people who love the Lord and want to be a blessing to others.  We
have many ministries for all ages that can be a help to the whole family.  If you are tired of the
same old "religious” church and would like to be a part of a church that is real with real Christians
to build good friendships, it would be an honor to have you as my guest.                               

Sincerely,
Pastor Paul Bannister II

FROM GOD'S WORD




The Gospel According to John
Chapter 1, Versus 1-17

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word
was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God
3 All things were made by him; and without him
was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of
men.
5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the
darkness comprehended it not.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name
was John.
7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness
of the Light, that all men through him might
believe.
8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear
witness of that Light.
9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every
man that cometh into the world.
10 He was in the world, and the world was
made by him, and the world knew him not.
11 He came unto his own, and his own
received him not.
12 But as many as received him, to them gave
he power to become the sons of God, even to
them that believe on his name:
13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will
of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt
among us (and we beheld his glory, the glory as
of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace
and truth.
15 John bare witness of him, and cried, saying,
This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh
after me is preferred before me: for he was
before me.
16 And of his fulness have all we received, and
grace for grace.
17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace
and truth came by Jesus Christ.

bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel."

"Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is
just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass,
and upon a colt the foal of an ass."
Zechariah 9:9

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever
believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son
into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned
already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."
John 3:16-18
"And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which
shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour,
which is Christ the Lord."
Luke 2:10-11
