So we're in a series called The Bless Life, and it is amazing to me that this message is the most

pivotal of the entire series.

And yet it's very possible that because of what's happened our attendance will go up this weekend and more people will actually watch online because I understand you know what's going on and we understand why we've made this

decision so anyway so this the title of this message today is called the

principle of first and I want you to know that as a believer in Jesus, if you

already believe in Jesus and you accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior,

there's probably no more important message that I could bring to you than this

message.

And that's saying a lot.

The reason is if God is first in your life, everything else will fall into place.

I'm not saying you'll not have problems.

We live in a fallen world.

Jesus said you'll experience tribulation, be of good cheer, I've overcome trib tribulation I'm not saying you want to

have problems but if God's first I'm saying everything could come into order if

God's not first nothing can come into order because God is first in the universe.

So what I want to do is show you some scriptures in Exodus 13.

I realize Exodus is a long way back in the Bible, but everything 1st-Grantheians 10 tells us that everything

that was written in the Old Testament was written as an example to us.

So we're going to start Exodus 13.

Look at verse 1.

It says, then the Lord spoke to Moses saying,

consecrate to me.
