FIRST: First Day

Speaker: Pastor Lee Cummings
Date: January 23, 2022

FIRST LOVE. FIRST TENTH. FIRST THING. FIRST DAY. FIRST PRIORITY. IN PART FOUR OF OUR FIRST SERIES, PASTOR LEE SHARES THE IMPORTANCE OF PHYSICALLY GOING TO CHURCH AND WORSHIPPING IN YOUR COMMUNITY.

SERMON HIGHLIGHTS

JOHN 20:1 (ESV)
“NOW ON THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK MARY MAGDALENE CAME TO THE TOMB EARLY, WHILE IT WAS STILL DARK AND SAW THAT THE STONE HAD BEEN TAKEN AWAY FROM THE TOMB."

ACTS 20:7 (ESV)
“ON THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK, WHEN WE WERE GATHERED TOGETHER TO BREAK BREAD, PAUL TALKED WITH THEM, INTENDING TO DEPART ON THE NEXT DAY, AND HE PROLONGED HIS SPEECH UNTIL MIDNIGHT.”

 1 CORINTHIANS 16:1-2 (ESV)
“NOW CONCERNING THE COLLECTION FOR THE SAINTS: AS I DIRECTED THE CHURCHES OF GALATIA, SO YOU ALSO ARE TO DO. ON THE FIRST DAY OF EVERY WEEK, EACH OF YOU IS TO PUT SOMETHING ASIDE AND STORE IT UP, AS HE MAY PROSPER, SO THAT THERE WILL BE NO COLLECTING WHEN I COME.”

  • GATHERING TO WORSHIP ON THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK HAS BEEN AN ALIGNING PRACTICE OF THE CHURCH FOR 2,000 YEARS

  • THE PRACTICE AND PRIORITY OF “GOING TO CHURCH” IS A GAME CHANGER TO YOUR EMOTIONAL HEALTH

  • THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SEEING GOING TO CHURCH AS A CONVENIENCE VS. A COMMITMENT

  • GATHERING AS THE CHURCH IS A PROPHETIC REMEMBERING OF CHRIST’S RESURRECTION
