First Christian Church
First Christian Church of Leisure World teaches from God’s word, the Holy Bible, most often verse by verse. It is a friendly church that welcomes all visitors. People are welcome to worship and explore God’s word together “that we may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith, both yours and mine” (Romans 1:12).
The church gathers weekly at the Lord’s table to participate in holy Communion. This week, the Communion reading titled “Bread, Wine and Oil ” will come from 2 Chronicles Chapter 2.
Message
Pastor Gary Whitlatch will preach a message titled “Waiting On and Hearing From the Holy Spirit” from Acts 1. This chapter, written by the apostle Luke, by his own description (as an eye witness) is about all that Jesus did and preached until the day when he was taken up into heaven after he had given orders to the apostles through the Holy Spirit. The disciples gathered for directions and asked questions about further instructions and future events. God has an answer for them in this passage.
