Celebrate Easter
at The Lighthouse
Welcome to The Lighthouse
The LIGHTHOUSE’s focus is on connecting people to Jesus, connecting believers with other believers, and entering into a real dialog about the love of Jesus Christ with individuals who have questions about why we believe Jesus Christ is the Lord and Savior of all.
We recognize that as times change new approaches to the idea of “church” are needed to reach a new generation. The LIGHTHOUSE, while resolved to stick to fundamental biblical truths, seeks to reach the new generation with a less traditional church model. We invite you to experience our church, form/strengthen your relationship with Jesus Christ, and become part of our LIGHTHOUSE community.
What is Easter All About?
Easter is all about Jesus. Really, it’s about God's great love for people. The story of Easter begins with the understanding that over time, men and women have drifted away from God's perfection, determined to live life their own way. The good news is that God has a plan for you and me. He sent his own Son into the world as a beacon of hope. Jesus is God's Son, sent into the world to pave the way for every single person on earth to experience new life. Jesus took all the brokenness of the world upon himself when he died on the cross. But death was not the end of the story. Jesus rose from the dead!
For three days following His crucifixion, believers at the time questioned whether Jesus really was the Son of God. By all appearances, it seemed death had defeated Him. But upon His resurrection, He proved that He was not just a human but divine. The apostle Paul summarizes the sequence of events in 1 Corinthians 15:3-8 when he says, “Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, and then to the Twelve. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers and sisters at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, and last of all he appeared to me also…”
This account is a declaration of what Christians believe: that Jesus Christ came to earth, died for the sins of humanity, and defeated the powers of death through His resurrection. Easter is the yearly celebration of this miracle and the hope for believers of their life in Christ, which includes the forgiveness of all their sins and the promise of their eternal life.
Sunday Gatherings
What’s unique about the LIGHTHOUSE Sunday gathering’s is not that it’s just the time when we worship, but that it’s the time when we build each other up by worshiping God together. We gather to hear the Word, preach the Word, pray the Word, sing the Word, and see the Word in the action. And all of this builds up the church, in love, as we seek to build relationship with God and each other.
