First Things

First Things is a collection of twelve lessons on themes connected to the core of our human experience—Communion, Home, Fire, Vision, Burden, Voice, Context, Discernment, Opportunity, Threats, Risk, and Courage. Each of the twelve themes begins by exploring the heart of God, which leads to implications for the people of God, and finally to considerations for preaching and leading in response to our call to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with God. The goal of the curriculum is a church leader with freshly invigorated, clarified, and effective vocation.
