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 a letter written by the Apostle Paul, he offered a prayer to fellow Christians, “that you may be filled with knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding.” The letter was written to a new church of believers in Colossae. It’s a beautiful prayer, but how does one become filled with knowledge, spiritual wisdom and understanding?
In Colossians 3:15-17, Paul instructs, “Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts and be thankful. Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you.”
The key to understanding God’s way is through the scriptures, written for believers as instruction for all people throughout all the ages. He reminds the church and current believers to be thankful for the peace of Christ.
