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.
Services
Saturday and Sunday services have the same message given by Pastor Bruce Humes. Currently, he is guiding the congregation through the New Testament book written by the apostle Paul to the church of the Thessalonians.
Sunday services, from 9:30-10:45 a.m., are traditional, with hymnal music featuring Pat Kogok at the piano and Iris Muncie singing a special hymn.
Saturday services, from 9:30-10:45 a.m., are more contemporary, with Gregory Black leading in worship with guitar accompaniment.
Friday evening prayer meetings are from 6-7, and weekly Bible study, led by Jack Frost, meets on Wednesdays from 9:30-10:30 a.m.
The Message
The apostle Paul in his first letter to the Thessalonians writes about living life in holiness, love for one another, and a great expectation and anticipation of Jesus’ return. In Thessalonians 4:9, he says, “But concerning brotherly love you have no need that I should write to you, for you yourselves are taught by God to love one another.” Those are encouraging words to this church of new believers.
He continues in verse 10, “And indeed you do so toward all the brothers in all Macedonia. But we urge you, brethren, that you increase more and more.”
There is there is always room for improvement. Paul urges them to continue to grow and mature in their Christian love for others. It is a message that is worthy of repeating then, and now.
Scripture of the Week
“If you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set you mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth” (Colossians 3: 1-2 NASB).
