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.

Pastor’s Message

Pastor Gary Witlatch will focus his sermon on 1st Timothy 4:2-5. He will look at biblical dietary issues, and if people will eat in heaven.

A contentious topic in the new Christian Churches was the Israelites requirement of abstinence of many foods in the LawofMoses. Christcameand established his kingdom and new rules in things to abstain from eating. Many of the rules were removed, and in their place, important instructions for believers in the Christian church. They were advised to consult the Holy Spirt for truth in these matters.

Verse 4 reads, “For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with gratitude.” The practice of praying before meals acknowledging thankfulness to the father for his provision and goodness puts this verse into action.
