Welcome to the Voochurch podcast.

What if the reason life feels rushed isn't because time is moving faster, but because

priorities are out of order.

In today's message, first time, Pastor Rich Wilkerson Jr. explores why choosing God first

changes everything that follows.

There's still time to join us for 21 days of prayer and fasting.

Find the calendar and additional resources at foodchurch.com slash pray first. Now, let's lean into the

message together. So many new songs tonight they're singing over here at the city. I trust

they're singing the same things over there at South Miami.

But I'm excited about all of the songs that are coming out, the different projects.

And we really put our theology to melody, believing that as we get that into our heart, it changes everything.

I'm glad that you're in church.

I'm excited for this week ahead.

It has been such a fantastic week already. The last seven days, God has moved. We've had record-breaking prayer meetings, which I think is incredible. We celebrate a lot of things, but man, when the church starts praying, God starts working. And I just want to encourage you, because I know some people are type A. You're like, me, it's like, bro, I missed the first seven days. I'll just have to wait till next year. No, stop. The devil is a liar. Tomorrow's day eight, join us. Be a part of what God's doing, and he's going to speak to you. And if you got a Bible night, I want you to reach for it. Romans Chapter 13 is where I want you to turn. And if you've got a real Bible, I brought, actually I brought Don Cherie's Bible tonight,

which is awesome. If you got a Bible tonight, I want you to also go in your Bible to Mark

1. We're going to be looking at both of these passages if we can for a few moments this evening.

And last week we started this collection of talks that I think is really, really important.

It's called first fruits, putting first what matters most. And last week, we looked at the story of Kane and Abel from the

book of Genesis. And really, we had one premise and one goal last week, which is to declare,

if God is not placed in his proper order, your life is always going to be out of order.

And this idea of first fruits, what it's about is about putting God first, making him the best thing in every area of your life.

Following Jesus is not a Sunday thing.
