Studies

This week we started a series called “First Things First,” aiming to help our church prioritize the kingdom of God first and foremost in our lives so everything else falls into place. 

While plenty of things take our attention in life, having a correct perspective on the world and the kingdom helps us reframe how we see the world in light of the gospel. This week we will discuss priorities and how we are setting up our lives for ourselves and our families.

1. What are the top five priorities in your life that shape your day-to-day activities?
2. Read Matthew 5:1 – 12.
3. Often described as the Beatitudes, or the good life. How does Matthew 5:1 – 12 depict how we should prioritize our life?
4. Try to describe your normal weekly schedule to your group. Include your family’s events. (School, sports, church, meetings, work, etc.)
5. Read Matthew 5:25 – 34.
6. Does your weekly calendar reflect your top 5 priorities? What needs to change so that it does?
