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.

Message

Baptism is the topic for this week. In Peter 3:20, the apostle Peter refers back to the time of Noah and the flood. Peter stated that only eight souls were saved through the water; meaning the flood, or the wrath of God that was poured out on people whose intent and thoughts were evil. The event symbolizes baptism, which Peter mentions in verse 3:21 when he writes, “There is also an anti-type which now saves us–baptism.”

Scripture of the Week

In Job 9:2, Job asks the age-old question: “But how can a man be in the right before God?” The answer would come centuries later when Jesus responded to the similar question from the disciple Thomas: “I am the way” (John 14:6).

Services

Saturday and Sunday services have the same message. Sunday is a traditional service, with hymnal music provided by Pat Kogok at the piano. This week, Iris Munchie will sing for the congregation. Sunday service times are from 9:30-10:45 a.m. (note that this is a different service time than before the pandemic).

Saturday services are more contemporary, with Gregory Black leading worship with guitar accompaniment. Saturday service time is 9:30-10:45 a.m. (also a new time).

The Friday evening prayer meeting is from 6-7.
