episode First Things First | First and Best cover

Description

We're kicking off a brand-new series called First & Best — an honest, pressure-free look at what the Bible says about money and generosity. In this opening message, "First Things First," we sit with one simple but searching idea: what goes first gets our trust. Drawing on Jesus' teaching in Matthew 6 and the call to honor God with our "firstfruits" in Proverbs 3, we discover that generosity isn't about the church getting something from us — it's about God doing something in us. Wherever you are on your journey of faith, you're welcome here. Come ask the question with us: what would it look like for God to be first?

Beyond Ourselves | First and Best

In the final week of First & Best, we discover that this series was never really about money — it was about one question: do I really trust God with every part of my life? "Beyond Ourselves" lands the whole series on a single idea: God gives to us so He can give through us. Working through 2 Corinthians 9, we look at Paul's picture of bread and seed — bread is what God gives to meet our needs, seed is what He gives to create a harvest — and the mistake of eating all the seed because we assume everything God provides is only for us. This isn't about guilt, pressure, or comparison. Paul is clear: each of us decides in our own heart, and the point isn't equal gifts but equal surrender. We give with open hands because God gave His first and best to us first — not His leftovers, but Himself. Wherever you are, there's a next step: from nothing to something, something to proportional, proportional to generous.
