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 apostle Paul writes in 2 Thessalonians 1:6-8, “Since it is a righteous thing with God to repay with tribulation those who trouble you, and to give you who are troubled rest with us when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
These verses speak volumes and are pretty sobering for those who persecute Christians because of their faith, and of Christians who endure that persecution. One receives judgement, the other receives rest. First Christian Church will learn what the rest and judgement in these verses will look like at its weekend services.
