Series: Christ First

Does my life represent Jesus getting my first and best? Do I need to make a commitment that will change everything in my life? Does the commitment I’ve made to God say that He is important to me or that in everything He comes first?

It is possible to be in church regularly, a good moral person and still be wicked in God’s eyes because you are not using your time, talents and treasures for the reasons God gave them to you? The question is not how religiously active you are, or how much you give, but have you surrendered everything to God?

Christ is enough! In Christ we possess the fullness of God. Christ showed the ultimate love; conquered our ultimate enemy, & now sits at the ultimate place of power. So, once you have him, you have it all.

The warning is, if you’re not putting Jesus in the 1st place, you are destroying your own faith & the faith of your children. Jesus knew that no matter what else you say, until your commitment to Christ is a priority, it was all a sham. This is Paul’s goal.

JESUS does not deserve your leftovers! He deserves the 1st place in everything. He is FIRST; He went first, and He should be first in our lives.
