A God-First Life: Week 1 - Abundant Life SERMON NOTES: Bible Reading: John 10:1-16 Shocking Statistics Gallop Poll 2021: In 2021, more Americans did not belong to a house of worship than those that did. “U.S. Church Membership Falls Below Majority for First Time,” 2021 The Great Dechurching: There are 40 million people in the United States today that used to attend church and no longer do. “The Great Dechurching: Who's Leaving, Why Are They Going, and What Will It Take to Bring Them Back?” by Jim Davis and Michael Graham with Ryan Burge, 2023 Key Ideas If we want to address this, the greatest challenge of the Church in our lifetime, we must be crystal clear on our motivation. Do we believe that being a part of the Church is important for people's lives? Do we believe that Jesus is important for people's lives? If so… why? The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly. – John 10:10 Following Jesus isn't just about heaven someday it is about life, now, about the life God created you to live. III. A God-First Life includes: Beloved identity - not an “if” identity. Deep Purpose - we are part of something bigger than ourselves Abundant Time - not a scarcity of time or a life of busyness Joyful Community – the antidote to the epidemic of loneliness and despair Questions & Tools Questions: What is one practical thing you can change in your life right now that will help keep God first? (bible? Prayer? Chalk wall bible verse?) What is Jesus asking you to move into 2nd place so he can be first? Practical Tools: Ask yourself: “Have you prayed today?” A simple saying that reminds us to keep God in our focus A practice that helps us notice God's presence and work around us Ask someone: “How can I be praying for you?” This simple question communicates big things. It says: I care about you enough to keep you on my mind and in my heart It invites them space to open up and share more about whatever is going on in their life It shares you are a person who prays in a gentle, respectful way It creates an opportunity to reconnect later and deepen the relationship

Notes: 1 PETER 2:9 AMP9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a consecrated nation, a [special] people for God's own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies [the wonderful deeds and virtues and perfections] of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.From the time I was a small girl I knew and felt that there was an anointing on my family.And there's an anointing on yours!What for? Not just to raise children, work jobs and die! — But to proclaim His greatness!1 Peter 2:9-10 MSG9 But you are the ones chosen by God, chosen for the high calling of priestly work, chosen to be a holy people, God's instruments to do his work and speak out for him, to tell others of the night-and-day difference he made for you—from nothing to something, from rejected to accepted. 10 But you are the ones chosen by God, chosen for the high calling of priestly work, chosen to be a holy people, God's instruments to do his work and speak out for him, to tell others of the night-and-day difference he made for you—from nothing to something, from rejected to accepted.These are the things that I hope to pass down: #1. An enduring (sincere) faith2 Timothy 1:5 ESV5 I am reminded of your sincere faith, a faith that dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and now, I am sure, dwells in you as well.James 1:12 ESV12 Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.These are the things that I hope to pass down: #2. Transforming FaithRomans 1:16 ESV16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.James 1:21 MSG21 Post this at all the intersections, dear friends: Lead with your ears, follow up with your tongue, and let anger straggle along in the rear. God's righteousness doesn't grow from human anger. So throw all spoiled virtue and cancerous evil in the garbage. In simple humility, let our gardener, God, landscape you with the Word, making a salvation-garden of your life.These are the things that I hope to pass down: #3. Faith that Honors• Honor - what you hold in high esteem or revere.I hope to pass down a culture of honor for I believe it to be the foundation for all healthy relationships!Honor God — living the God First Life... Giving, Serving, Loving.Honor Authority — honor up, honor down, honor all around! Honor Everyone — honor all as created by God!Genesis 17:9 MSG9 God continued to Abraham, “And you: You will honor my covenant, you and your descendants, generation after generation. This is the covenant that you are to honor, the covenant that pulls in all your descendants: Circumcise every male. Circumcise by cutting off the foreskin of the penis; it will be the sign of the covenant between us. Every male baby will be circumcised when he is eight days old, generation after generation—this includes house-born slaves and slaves bought from outsiders who are not blood kin. Make sure you circumcise both your own children and anyone brought in from the outside. That way my covenant will be cut into your body, a permanent mark of my permanent covenant. An uncircumcised male, one who has not had the foreskin of his penis cut off, will be cut off from his people—he has broken my covenant.”These are the things that I hope to pass down: #4. Faith for the BattleJudges 5:7, 31 NLT7 There were few people left in the villages of Israel—until Deborah arose as a mother for Israel. 31 “Lord, may all your enemies die like Sisera!But may those who love you rise like the sun in all its power!”Then there was peace in the land for forty years.James 5:17-18 MSG17 Make this your common practice: Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you can live together whole and healed. The prayer of a person living right with God is something powerful to be reckoned with. Elijah, for instance, human just like us, prayed hard that it wouldn't rain, and it didn't—not a drop for three and a half years. Then he prayed that it would rain, and it did. The showers came and everything started growing again. 18 Make this your common practice: Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you can live together whole and healed.

"Living a God - First Life" by Matthew Schlesinger
We are hardwired to want a remarkable life—but is it possible to close the gap between where we are now and being extraordinary? A remarkable life is the result of making choices that others won’t in order to live a life that others don’t, and it starts with what we seek.

We go behind the scenes with active military personnel to discuss how to live a Godly lifestyle while in the military. We talk about the military's culture, along with standing firm in faith despite opposition. Special thanks to all who have served and are currently serving the USA.
