First Christian Church

First Christian Church of Leisure World teaches from God’s word, the Holy Bible, most often verse by verse. It is a friendly church that welcomes all visitors.

Pastor’s Message

This weekend, Pastor Gary Whitlatch will return to 1 Timothy. Chapter 6:1-12 will be this week’s Scripture reference, noting the importance and need for sound teaching in the church. 1 Timothy: 6:1-12 also talks about how believers should represent Christ to those they with and what to prioritize as Christians.

Apostle Paul goes on to describe the things of importance that lead to contentment. Finally, the well-known words of verse 10, “The love of money is a root of all sorts of evil.” What are the consequences of this foolish longing for perishable things, and what effect can it have on one’s faith and wellbeing? Paul advises young Timothy to flee from these things and pursue godliness, faith and love with perseverance and gentleness.
