“Christ is the visible image of the invisible God. He existed before God made anything at all and is supreme over all creation….He is the first of all who will rise from the dead, so he is first in everything.” Colossians 1:15,18

This summer we’ll be exploring the question, “Who’s on First?”. We’ll be taking into account the words of Jesus from the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 6:33, “Put God’s Kingdom first. Do what he wants you to do.” I pray that this summer will be a time for you to give priority to your relationship with God. I know how busy your schedules are. School, sports, work, friends, homework…it seems like most of our lives are spent rushing from one activity to the next. Sometimes, we’re even guilty of using youth group activities as a substitute for God! We need to be reminded that without God at the center, our lives become hollow and meaningless. Our striving to be “well-rounded” often leaves us as well-rounded as a donut – we’re completely missing what should be at the core of our lives, namely, God! Why not use this summer as a time to re-devote yourself to the simplicity of prayer, the study of the Word, the serenity of time alone with God? There’s no better time than today to put God first. Give Him the seat of priority in your life. Who’s on first? That’s the only question worth asking.
