Lighthouse Baptist Church

A Message from Our Pastor

Welcome to the internet home of Lighthouse Baptist Church of Shreveport, Louisiana!

On this site you will be able to get an idea of some of what God is doing at LBC and many of the worship and ministry opportunities and the resources available to you and your family. Nevertheless, nothing can ever take the place of the personal experience of worshipping with the precious Lighthouse Baptist Church family.

We believe that we were created to bring worship and bring honor and glory to God! We bring God the utmost glory when we discover Him as the greatest joy and most precious treasure of our lives. This begins when a person asks Jesus Christ to come into their heart and become Lord and Savior of his/her life. Please pay a visit our “How to Become a Christian” and “Our Beliefs” section of the website to gain a better understanding of our basic bedrock values and what we believe God wants us to be and do as His church.

If you live in or are just visiting the Shreveport area, we invite you to come and worship with us. You will find the family at LBC in love with Jesus and hearts to reach people here and around the world with the Good News of Jesus Christ. Our prayer is for the Lord to richly bless you!

In His grip of grace,

Tommy Allen

Saturday evening, April 5, 2008, I watched the movie "The Passion of the Christ." Joan had given us the DVD just after the movie came out in 2004 or 2005. It was a difficult movie to watch but I did so to the bitter end. On April 9 I happened upon the morning devotional by Charles H. Spurgeon that served as an addendum to the movie. I just wanted to share this with you. --D. Rankin

And there followed Him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented Him."-Luke 23:27

Amid the rabble rout which hounded the Redeemer to His doom, there were some gracious souls whose bitter anguish sought vent in wailing and lamentations-fit music to accompany that march of woe. When my soul can, in imagination, see the Saviour bearing His cross to Calvary, she joins the godly women and weeps with them; for, indeed, there is true cause for grief-cause lying deeper than those mourning women thought. They bewailed innocence maltreated, goodness persecuted, love bleeding, meekness about to die; but my heart has a deeper and more bitter cause to mourn. My sins were the scourges which lacerated those blessed shoulders, and crowned with thorn those bleeding brows: my sins cried "Crucify Him! crucify Him!" and laid the cross upon His gracious shoulders. His being led forth to die is sorrow enough for one eternity: but my having been His murderer, is more, infinitely more, grief than one poor fountain of tears can express. Why those women loved and wept it were not hard to guess: but they could not have had greater reasons for love and grief than my heart has. Nain's widow saw her son restored-but I myself have been raised to newness of life. Peter's wife's mother was cured of the fever-but I of the greater plague of sin. Out of Magdalene seven devils were cast-but a whole legion out of me. Mary and Martha were favoured with visits-but He dwells with me. His mother bare His body-but He is formed in me the hope of glory. In nothing behind the holy women in debt, let me not be behind them in gratitude or sorrow.

"Love and grief my heart dividing,
With my tears His feet I'll lave-
Constant still in heart abiding,
Weep for Him who died to save." Charles Spurgeon
