First Christian Church

First Christian Church of Leisure World teaches from the Holy Bible verse by verse. It is a friendly church that welcomes all visitors to join 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

This week, Pastor Gary Whitlatch will share from Colossians 3:1-11. He will discuss the mindset of the saints and faithful brethren in Christ. In verses 1-2 the Apostle Paul wrote, “to keep seeking the things above, where Christ is. Be intent on the things above, not on the things that are on earth.”

A believer puts on the new self and is renewed through the true knowledge according to the one who created him. Pastor Gary will examine differences of the old self and the new inner man in Colossians 3 and examine the benefit of this true knowledge for the church body.
