FIRST: First Priority

Speaker: Pastor Lee Cummings
Date: January 30, 2022

FIRST LOVE. FIRST TENTH. FIRST THING. FIRST DAY. FIRST PRIORITY.

IN THE FINAL PART OF OUR FIRST SERIES, PASTOR LEE TEACHES ON HOW THE PRIORITY OF OUR LIVES SHOULD NOT BE GETTING WHAT WE WANT, BUT GIVING GOD WHAT HE WANTS.

SERMON HIGHLIGHTS

MATTHEW 28:16-20 (ESV)

“NOW THE ELEVEN DISCIPLES WENT TO GALILEE, TO THE MOUNTAIN TO WHICH JESU HAD DIRECTED THEM. AND WHEN THEY SAW HIM, THEY WORSHIPED HIM, BUT SOME DOUBTED. AND JESUS CAME AND SAID TO THEM, “ALL AUTHORITY IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH HAS BEEN GIVEN TO ME. GO THEREFORE AND MAKE DISCIPLES OF ALL NATIONS, BAPTIZING THEM IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER AND OF THE SON AND OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, TEACHING THEM TO OBSERVE ALL THAT I HAVE COMMANDED YOU. AND BEHOLD, I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS, TO THE END OF THE AGE.”

  • JESUS’ PRIMARY MISSION WAS TO SEEK AND SAVE THOSE WHO WERE LOST AND BOUND

  • JESUS’ LAST ASSIGNMENT MUST BE OUR FIRST PRIORITY

  • THE 4 ASPECTS OF THE GREAT COMMISSION:

  • 1. PREACH THE GOSPEL

  • 2. DEMONSTRATE THE POWER OF THE KINGDOM

  • 3. BAPTIZE NEW BELIEVERS

  • 4. DISCIPLE THEM TO OBEY JESUS’ COMMANDS

  • THE PRIORITY OF OUR LIVES SHOULD NOT BE GETTING WHAT WE WANT, BUT GIVING GOD WHAT HE WANTS MOST

  • “THERE ARE ONLY THREE KINDS OF CHRISTIANS WHEN IT COMES TO WORLD MISSIONS: ZEALOUS GOERS, ZEALOUS SENDERS, AND DISOBEDIENT.” - JOHN PIPER
