The LIGHThouse Guardian
July 29, 2025
At Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion of what was known as the Italian Cohort, a devout man who feared God with all his household, gave alms generously to the people, and prayed continually to God.

And now send men to Joppa and bring one Simon who is called Peter." - Acts 10:1-5
TRAIN YOURSELF IN GODLINESS: Missions

A Gift Card or Memory Verse...
Have nothing to do with irreverent, silly myths. Rather train yourself in godliness; for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.—1 Timothy 4:7-8
Pastor Tim has issued a challenge: play a game of chess against him. You'd be surprised how many students have risen to the challenge! Beat him and receive a $20.00 gift card to the restaurant of your choice. Lose... and commit to memorizing 1 Timothy 4:7-8 (Really, it's a win-win).
