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
Pastor Gary Whitlatch will teach from 1 Timothy 4; discussing three important topics contained in the first verse.
It begins with the Apostle Paul revealing to Timothy, “the spirit expressly says.” Whitlatch will then refer to the Gospel of John where Jesus did much teaching on the Holy Spirit, lending to the biblical understanding that the Holy Spirit is still speaking today.
The verse goes on to say “In latter times some will depart from the faith.” This is a sobering subject for all members of the church then and now. Pastor Whitlatch will discuss what the church and its members are to pursue during these times.
The verse concludes with the “doctrines of demons.” The church will read from Scripture to study what doctrine of demons threatens humanity most today.
