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.

Pastor’s Message

This week, Pastor Bruce Humes will read from Genesis 27. The events reveal a deceitful plan by Rebekka, Isaac’s wife. She favored her second-born son Jacob more than her firstborn Esau. After Rebekka overhears Isaac tell Esau he would give him the inheritance, she plots to have Jacob impersonate his brother so that he received the blessing instead.

This deception was not necessary. In Genesis 25:23 the Lord had spoken to Rebekah, “Two nations are in your womb, two peoples shall be separated from your body; one people shall be stronger than the other, and the older shall serve the younger.”

For some, trust in God can be a fleeting thing, especially when time passes without the promised fulfillment. The lesson that needs to be learned by God’s people is patience and confidence in God’s promises.
