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 to join in worship and explore God’s word together.

Message from the Pastor

The great storm begins to subside in Genesis 8:1-2:“Then God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the animals that were with him in the Ark. And God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subsided. The fountains of the deep and the windows of heaven were also stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained.”

Genesis 8:20 records what transpired after Noah departed, “Then Noah built an alter to the Lord and took of every clean animal and of every clean bird and offered burnt offering on the alter.” Noah worshiped God for saving him and his family from judgement.

The ark is a picture of Christ. Born again believers have put their faith, trust and hope in him. In doing so, they have entered the Ark and will be saved from any and all judgement that will come upon the world. Followers of Christ worship God the creator and his son Jesus, the one who was sacrificed, and paid the debt of the world’s sin.

Scripture of the Week

“It is good to give thanks to the Lord And to sing praises to your name, O Most High. To declare your loving kindness in the morning and your faithfulness by night with instruments.
