[Sunday] First You're Last - Missio Dei

ServiceSundaySermons
Written By Cris Escher

It’s always amazing to see us, workers of God’s kingdom, trying to maintain a pecking order of righteousness in the midst of such great generosity of our God. 

QUESTIONS FOR THE WEEK:   First You’re Last

  1. When do you feel the pressure to be first or the best?  When has that backfired on you?

  2. Read Matthew 20:1-16.  What is the danger of thinking this parable is about compensation for work completed?

  3. What is the danger of thinking you deserve something special if you’re a diligent worker?

  4. What does it look like for you to rejoice in the “denarius” that God gives to you this week?

During our Bible study on May 27, 2026, we explored Mark 4:1–34, focusing on Jesus's parables—especially the Sower—and how they reveal a deeper, hopeful message about the kingdom of God, spiritual growth, and the critical theme of truly hearing and seeing God's word to bear fruit.

[Sunday] Why Are You Here - 1 Kings 19 - Foolish Wisdom

Burnout happens when we think it's entirely up to us to fix the world. Elijah flees into the wilderness and discovers how God meets us in our exhaustion, speaking in a still small voice, and freeing us from the pressure of having to do it all.
