What does it truly mean to put God first? This message takes us on a journey through one of the most consistent and profound principles woven throughout all of Scripture: the principle of the first. From the moment God's people walked out of Egypt, before they ever crossed the Red Sea, God established something remarkable. He told them to consecrate the firstborn, the first portion, because it belonged to Him. This was not an arbitrary rule. It was a declaration about where God stands in our lives and what it looks like when He genuinely occupies the throne of our hearts. We explore how the clean lamb redeeming the unclean donkey is a stunning picture of what Jesus did for us, the spotless Lamb of God redeeming those of us born into sin and uncleanness. The principle of first is ultimately the principle of faith. It asks us whether we trust God enough to release what we cannot see replaced. And that question cuts straight to the heart of our spiritual journey.
