First Christian Church
First Christian Church 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
Genesis 2:16-17 says “the Lord God commanded the man saying, ‘Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.’” This is a clear command from God with clear consequences for disobeying. Genesis 3:1 continues, “Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, ‘Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden?’’” The serpent was questioning the word of God. His deceitfulness is successful, the woman and man in disobedience to God eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, with the consequence being death. Man today continues to struggle with the curse of death, but scripture shows there is a redeemer, Jesus Christ. “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life,” John 3:16.
