Lighthouse of Hope Church (LOH Church)

The book of Ephesians doesn't start with commands, but with blessing! "God’s purpose in all this was to use the church to display his wisdom in its rich variety to all the unseen rulers and authorities in the heavenly places. This was his eternal plan, which he carried out through Christ Jesus our Lord." -Ephesians 3:10-11 NLT If you would like to partner with us, please visit: https://myloh.churc...

Hope is an expectancy in the not yet, an enjoyment in what is as if received now! A belief and assurance that God is Who He says He is, therefore I have hope! "We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain." - Hebrews 6:19 CSB If you would like to partner with us, please visit: https://myloh.church/give

What if joy isn't found where we've been told to look, but when God restores us in the midst of our trials? "And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cau...

Biblical friendships shape our faith, deepen our joy in the journey, and strengthen us for life's battles! "Two are better than one because they have a good return for their labor. For if either of them falls, the one will lift up his companion. But woe to the one who falls when there is not another to lift him up. Furthermore, if two lie down together they keep warm, but how can one be warm alone...

Prayer wasn't meant to be a duty, but a breathtaking privilege! It happened that while Jesus was praying in a certain place, after He had finished, one of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, teach us to pray just as John also taught his disciples.” And He said to them, “When you pray, say: ‘ Father, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Give us each day our daily bread. And forgive us our sins,...

Even good sheep butt heads, but God will use it to grow His Church! Just like He did with Paul and Barnabas! "But the word of the Lord continued to grow and to be multiplied.

“You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing...

What gave Paul unstoppable passion for the gospel? What sparked his fearless love for God's glory? What drove him to risk everything to lead people to their Savior, Jesus Christ? ‘ "But get up and stand on your feet; for this purpose I have appeared to you, to appoint you a minister and a witness not only to the things which you have seen, but also to the things in which I will appear to you; resc...
