First Christian Church
First Christian Church of Leisure World teaches from God’s word, the Holy Bible, 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.
Weekend Services
In Genesis 17:8-16 God foretells consequential events that will happen in the lives of Abram and Sarai, beginning with changing their names to Abraham and Sarah. God then establishes the religious ritual of circumcision as a sign of remembrance of the covenant that God had with his people.
In verse 16, God tells Abraham that he and Sarah will have a son. This came as a surprise since Abraham and Sarah were in their 90s, well past childbearing age. God also told Abraham the name of that son would be Isaac, and that He, God, would make a covenant with Isaac and with his descendants after him. That everlasting covenant is still in effect today. However, with the arrival of Jesus that covenant was opened to all people. When people allow Christ to become their savior, they enter the covenant given to Isaac.
