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 to join in 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.
Pastor’s Message
What do the genealogies in the Bible have to do with anything? Pastor Bruce Humes will look at Genesis 10 this week to see what and whom is listed. Genesis 9:19 says that it was from the three sons of Noah— Shem, Ham and Japheth—that the world was populated. Noah was a descendant of the first man, Adam, and his wife, Eve.
In Chapter 10, the genealogies of the sons start with the youngest son Japheth, goes to the middle son Ham, and finishes with the oldest son Shem. The line of Abraham would come through Shem, giving rise to God’s chosen people, the Israelites. Through the Israelites, the promised Messiah will come. The holy Scriptures are about God’s plan of salvation for mankind through his son Jesus Christ.
Noah’s three sons and their descendants dispersed throughout the earth and from them the various people are descended.
