Introduction: Coach Isamu Sakamoto
He made me practice my run for 2 months
He made me practice my roundoff for 3 months
Sometimes we want to rush to the next thing before we master the first thing.
Big Idea: What’s first determines what’s next
Jesus tells us this when he says...
Solomon was challenged to do the same
1 Chronicles
What’s first determines what’s next
Explain:
David’s leadership is about to be passed onto his son
The promise was simple: Keep ME first and you’ll be blessed
Solomon was doing great…2 Divine encounters with God
But then something shifts in Solomon
His priorities begin to change:
1 Kings 11:9-11
What’s FIRST determines what’s Next
Solomon was told to stay away from 3 specific things:
Don’t build a massive army
Don’t acquire many wives
Don’t acquire excessive wealth for himself
Solomon’s FIRST (priorities) changed and so what came next was God’s correction...
Story: I always wanted what was NEXT
I wanted to know when I would meet my wife NEXT
I wanted to know when I would find my calling NEXT
I wanted to know when I would find my job NEXT
But God was trying to get me to focus on what was FIRST
Application:
Are you thinking about what is NEXT or are you thinking about what’s FIRST in your life?
What’s next for me in my job or career?
What’s next for me in my relationship…husband? wife?
What’s next for me in my ministry or church?
Make God the #1 priority in your life and HE promises to show you what’s NEXT...
Conclusion: Broom and Balance
Broom and Balance....where is my focus?
What’s FIRST determines what’s NEXT?
