11/30/2025 - John 1:1-18 - First Things First - The Incarnation by Richard Schwartz

First Things First – Week 2: “Why Should I Tithe?” Mark 10:17–27Money is one of the clearest windows into the human heart. In Week 2 of First Things First, Pastor Kevin teaches on one of the most foundational practices in Scripture: the tithe.Through the story of the rich young ruler, Jeremiah's warning about our hearts, and Malachi's call to return to God, we learn that tithing isn't about losing money—it's about ordering our lives around trust. The tithe brings our finances under God's leadership, breaks the power of fear and self-reliance, and opens us to the freedom of living in God's design.This message helps us understand why the tithe matters, what Scripture actually teaches, and how putting God first transforms more than our giving—it transforms us.Tithing is not about what God wants from you. It's about what God wants for you.Broad River Church | Norwalk, CT Join us Sundays: 9:00 AM & 11:00 AM (English) | 12:45 PM (Español) Learn more or take your next step: https://broadriver.church/nextsteps Follow us on Instagram: @iambroadriverchurch

The Generous Heart - First Things FirstDeuteronomy 14:22-29Big Idea: God is always teaching His people to put Him first

The Generous Heart - Part 4First Things First | Deuteronomy 14:22-29Key Question: What can we learn from the Old Testament teaching about the tithe?1. Tithing supported the leadership and activity of the Temple2. Tithing provided for widows, fatherless, and foreigners3. Tithing acknowledged God as the owner of all things4. Tithing leads God's people into God's blessing5. Tithing was a set amount - New Covenant giving amounts are less exact6. Tithing was a law-based requirement - New Covenant giving is a heart-level desire

Why did God command ancient Israel to give ten percent of their income every year? What was he trying to show and teach them? What place does tithing have today in the life of a Christian? In this fourth message in The Generous Heart series, pastor Jeremy Writebol helps us understand the place and purpose of the tithe, and how we as Christians today should view this spiritual practice.

Emily speaks from Revelation 2:1-7 on the letter to Ephesus. The church has forgotten their first love, Jesus himself, and the letter reminds us that the church exists primarily to love Jesus and we should be with Him before we become like Him and do what He did.

In 1 Corinthians 15:1–11, Paul proclaims the heart of the Christian faith—the gospel of Jesus' death and resurrection. We are reminded that our salvation rests not on our own effort but on God's grace through Christ. Pastor Ben Palka reminds us to stand firm in the good news that saves and transforms all who believe.

These 7 things always go first in a crisis. If you have them—and others know it—you could become a target. Here's how to stay off the radar. The post They'll Come for These 7 Things First appeared first on Mind4Survival.

Haggai 1:1-7 (NIV) A Call to Build the House of the Lord1 In the second year of King Darius, on the first day of the sixth month, the word of the Lord came through the prophet Haggai to Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua son of Jozadak,[a] the high priest: 2 This is what the Lord Almighty says: “These people say, ‘The time has not yet come to rebuild the Lord's house.'” 3 Then the word of the Lord came through the prophet Haggai: 4 “Is it a time for you yourselves to be living in your paneled houses, while this house remains a ruin?” 5 Now this is what the Lord Almighty says: “Give careful thought to your ways. 6 You have planted much, but harvested little. You eat, but never have enough. You drink, but never have your fill. You put on clothes, but are not warm. You earn wages, only to put them in a purse with holes in it.” 7 This is what the Lord Almighty says: “Give careful thought to your ways.

Pastor Rodney continues his series on First Things First: The Shema; the most important commandment.

As the Israelites cross into the land, God has a couple of first priority items of business to do that they have neglected. As they renew the covenant and celebrate the Passover, God prepares them for the journey ahead. We need the same preparation as we live our lives as well. From Joshua 5.

Joined on this episode by MR. Keep the First Things First himself, Helton Pereira and I am excited for everything we plan to cover!  On the agenda was the topic of keeping first things first and Helton's approach to faith, family, fitness and firefighting.  We discuss how important a strong base is for doing this job and doing it well for a long time.  We dive into what legacy means and what it really is. Of course the planned discussion never lasts long because the wonderful questions from the live audience always take over the Scrap. So enjoy the episode!!!!

Could you list your top 3 priorities?Yep, me too. But how about when we try to actually live them?In this episode of Live the Bible, we see that the Bible is not just a Sunday textbook. And during the week, it's not just devotional material to go with our morning coffee. No, the Bible is for our lives—and it directs our priorities. The problem of living our priorities is not a new one. The Prophet Haggai was dealing with the problem a long time ago. The people then are much like us. The solution still works.Support the show
