Text: Mark 10:17-31
The focus of this new study is to help us learn from God’s Word what we should prioritize in our lives. The phrase “first things first” means that there are matters of first importance that require our urgent attention before other things are done. We greatly need this today because we live our lives with constant movement, a limitless number of distractions, and even great responsibilities which can often hinder our focus on the things that should be first. God cuts through all the distractions and noises to continually show us the “one thing” that needs to be addressed in our lives, and in this case, the “one thing” that the rich young ruler also lacked. We invite you to listen today to consider the great priority of following Jesus.
