Summary

As we focus this week on boundaries for life and vision, today we’ll explore what it would look like to have the right priorities in place in our relationship with God. Many of us live as though God has a long list of expectations for us to meet. Today may God’s priorities for us become our own, and may we set the necessary boundaries in place to keep our priorities in the correct order.

Our Scripture for today comes from John 15:4, and today's worship is What I See by Hillsong UNITED.

The Songs Tell the Story, the 25 day Advent devotional is perfect for starting on December 1st and ending on Christmas Day!

Each reading only takes a few minutes and the stories behind how these Christmas hymns came to be are sure to make you hear & sing them in a whole new way. You and your family will want to listen to the songs with a newfound appreciation for how God worked to bring such timeless songs into our yearly celebrations of the gift of Christmas. Our hope is that each story reveals more of God’s heart for you in this season and renews your sense of wonder for the birth of our Savior.

So make sure to grab your copy at first15.org/advent while it is still available and to ensure you can begin reading it on December 1!

Tomorrow/Today is Giving Tuesday, the one day a year when the world focuses on unleashing radical generosity.

And what better cause is there to be radically generous about than helping people connect with God?

A generous donor has offered a $8,500 Matching Grant to help reach the $157,929 Giving Tuesday goal.

This means any gift you give today will be DOUBLED.

You and I were made to connect — with others, and most importantly, with God. But many people struggle to find a devotional resource that’s easy to understand and relatable to daily life.

This is why First15 exists, and I assume it’s why you’re part of this growing community.

You can give your Giving Tuesday gift and have it doubled by visiting supportfirst15.org!
