Better "Priorities"
As we step into a new year, we're challenged to examine our priorities and seek a 'better' life in 2025. The core message revolves around Matthew 6:33, urging us to 'seek first the kingdom of God.' This powerful scripture reminds us that when we prioritize our relationship with God, everything else falls into place. The sermon uses a compelling illustration of rocks, gravel, and sand to demonstrate how we often fill our lives with less important matters, leaving no room for what truly matters. We're encouraged to reflect on what constitutes the 'big rocks' in our lives - those essential priorities that should come first. By putting God at the center, we can find peace amidst life's chaos and experience His abundance in all areas of our lives. This message is particularly relevant as we often struggle with anxiety and worry, symptoms that our priorities may be misaligned. By refocusing on God, we can transform our perspective and approach to daily challenges.
