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).
Message From the Pastor
The subject of the final return of Christ to the Earth is a widely discussed topic and has earnestly been anticipated by Christ’s followers for 2000 years.
The day of the glorious return of Christ to Earth will be a time when all of his saints give him glory and honor for what he has done in them and for them. It is a day when believers will see their savior face to face to worship and praise him.
Those who do not believe in him or have not accepted him as their savior are destined to be excluded from his presence. This is explained by the apostle Paul in 2 Thessalonians 1:9-10, “These shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his power, when he comes in that day, to be glorified in his saints and be admired among all those who believe, because our testimony among you was believed.”
This important and relevant passage will be the topic of Pastor Bruce Humes’ message this weekend.
