Catch the movie “Greater” on Friday, June 2
FIRST CHRISTIAN CHURCH
5 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.
The Message
Pastor Bruce Humes will wrap up the study of 1 Peter by looking into verses 5-14 of chapter 5. The apostle Peter calls for the believers to be submissive to one another, which in reality is an act of humility. He cites the Old Testament to support his instructions when he quotes from Proverbs 3:34, which says that “God resists the proud,” and continues with a quote from Isaiah 57:15: “But gives grace to the humble.” Believers are instructed to humble themselves under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt them in due time.
Scripture of the Week
In the Psalm 19, David is humbled by God’s creation. David states the law of the Lord is perfect and restores the soul. Considering this, David is so overwhelmed with his own inadequacies, he humbly ends the Psalm with this request: “May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my rock, and my Redeemer” (Psalm 19:14, NASB).
