FIRST THINGS FIRST

"In essentials unity, in non-essentials liberty, in all things charity." - Rupertus Meldenius. Christian faith contains doctrines that we must keep “First Things First”.

 CHRIST ABOVE ALL (Colossians)

Colossians is a New Testament letter written to the church in Colossae, who was a small church that needed a big reminder--that God is in control. This 13-week sermon series on Colossians will remind us to focus our minds on Christ no matter what successes or challenges may come into our lives. As believers, we can have hope because Christ is Above All!

FAITHFUL (1 Corinthians)

“And God was faithful…” Isn’t that such a beautiful phrase? That word “faithful” pertains to being trustworthy and dependable. It describes someone we can have full confidence in. Only God is all of those things. But how do we experience and embrace His faithfulness in our everyday lives? As we celebrate God’s faithfulness to our church over the last 60 years, we will be reminded by 1 Corinthians how He continues to be faithful every day.

HE SHALL REIGN (1 Samuel)

Do Old Testament stories still matter today? Though we don’t live in a monarchy or defend a promised land, the same temptations from 1 Samuel arise in our lives. Just as Israel rejected God as King, we too can seek control elsewhere—yet nothing removes God from His throne. The truth remains: "He Shall Reign."
