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 1:1.
Pastor’s Message
In Genesis 17, God made a covenant with Abraham saying, “I will give to you and to your descendants after you, the land of your sojournings, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession, and I will be their God.” A covenant is a promise, and God is not one to break promises. The Lord appeared to Abraham’s son Isaac in Genesis 26:3 saying, “Sojourn in this land and I will be with you and bless you, for to you and your descendants I will give all these lands, and I will establish the oath which I swore to your father Abraham.”
God promised to perform the oath which He had promised Abraham. God continues with the promise of descendants, “and I will make your descendants multiply as the stars of heaven; I will give your descendants all these lands; and in your seed all the nations shall be blessed.”
The seed in which all nations will be blessed was the Messiah, Christ Jesus, a distant descendant of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob who would come into the world to redeem all those who would believe in him.
