In the opening message of The Lord’s & The Leftovers, we begin with a simple but searching question: does God receive our first and best, or only what remains after everything else has been taken care of? Looking at the story of Cain and Abel, this message reminds us that giving has never been primarily about money, but about trust and priority. God is not interested in leftovers or reluctant offerings. He invites us into a relationship where He is honored first, shaping our hearts and our lives in the process.

Questions for Reflection

• When it comes to your time, resources, and attention, where does God actually fall in the order of your priorities?

• What might change if honoring God first became a trust-filled response rather than a reluctant obligation?
