Sermons on Priorities

Every Family Needs a Grasp of God’s Priority

When did priority become priorities? How can multiple things be the “most important” thing? The fact is that our culture today pushes the idea of ‘priorities’ but our effectiveness is drastically limited when our priorities are multi-faceted. In this message, we try to lay aside our pre-conceived ideas about priorities in our lives and look to see what God’s priority is in Scripture. Simply put, God’s priority is for us to be conformed to the image of His Son. But as Voddie Baucham explained, “Instead of striving for godliness and multigenerational faithfulness, many Christians have settled for just getting by. Unfortunately our children are paying the price.”

Preparing Our Lives for the Unexpected

This time of year often becomes a bit of a rat race. We survived the Black Friday sales, the Cyber Monday blitz, and all the ‘three-weeks-‘til-Christmas’ shopping traffic yesterday. Last week, Pastor Ron challenged us to prepare our hearts for Christmas—with childlike faith, generosity in our giving and our thoughts focused on Christ! These are things that all of us should strive for, but too often the ‘hustle and bustle’ of the Christmas season gets in the way. So how do we keep our focus on the CHRIST of Christmas this year? What should we do to prepare our hearts for Christmas?
