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. People are welcome to 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).
Message From the Pastor
Pastor Bruce Humes will begin an exciting new series of teachings on the book of Genesis this week.
The first verse of Genesis is the foundation for the Christian faith. If this first statement is not true, then neither is the rest of the Bible. If it is true, then people will have no trouble believing the rest of the Bible from Genesis 1:2 through Revelation 22:21. For those of the Christian faith the truth of God’s salvation plan for mankind through his son, Jesus Christ, is revealed from cover to cover.
The first verse in God’s word says that heaven and earth had a beginning, it was created, it was brought into existence by God.
Christians understand that God existed in eternity’s past, that he is eternally existent and that which he created was out of nothing. God’s creation was recent, meaning thousands of years ago, not millions.
Hebrews 11:3 says “By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.”
This series is an opportunity to explore and discover the things God, from the beginning, has in store for a walk of faith.
