First Christian Church

First Christian Church of Leisure World teaches from God’s word, the Holy Bible verse by verse.

It is a friendly church that welcomes all visitors to join in 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.

Pastor’s Message

In Genesis 14, when Abram returned from retrieving his nephew Lot from the four kings of the East, he met the king of Sodom, a king of unrighteousness, and then he met Melchizedek, which means “King of Righteousness.” Scripture says Melchizedek is a priest of “God the Most High.”

This priest of God brought bread and wine and gave a blessing to Abram and God.

This offering of bread and wine recalls to mind the ordinance of Holy Communion Christ set before all at the Last Supper.
