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 first verse in the book of Genesis ends with “and the earth.” Genesis 1:2 describes the earth from its beginnings. “The earth was without form and void, and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.” The timing of the created earth has been debated for centuries with the evolving conclusion that the event was millions or even billions of years ago. With every new scientific advancement the time seems to change. The extended number of years seems to be required for them to support the evolutionary process.
The biblical view gives a different time frame of thousands of years. Who is right?
In Job 38:4, God asked Job, “Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell me if you have an understanding.”
Job was not there and did not have an understanding and neither are there any eyewitnesses or scientists in present day claiming their science proves them right beyond doubt.
Who should be believed? Maybe by starting with the recorded description from the one eyewitness who was there, the creator, God himself.
The Sunday message at First Christian Church this week will be a study of what the only eyewitness had to say.
