First Responders-when something happens what is our first response

Headaches we turn to Advil…Flu we turn to Emergency Medicine…Unknown illnesses we turn to doctors…etc.

Not that anything is wrong with going to the doctor, but where should we turn to first.

Not even Facebook or websites to look up our symptoms and diagnose ourselves.

God never leaves He is the first responder and we should look to Him before we consider anything else. 

Luke 10:30-37 [Parable of the Good Samaritan] 

Deuteronomy 31:8 (Moses told Joshu) …He will be with you; he will neither fail you nor abandon you.”

Hebrews 13:5 and 8 …For God has said, “I will never fail you. I will never abandon you.” 8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

1 Peter 5:7 Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.

John 3:16-17 “For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. 17 God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him. 

John 14:15-16 “If you love me, obey my commandments. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, who will never leave you. 

1 Corinthians 13:4-7 Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud 5 or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. 6 It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. 7 Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.

2 Corinthians 4:8-10 We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair. 9 We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed. 10 Through suffering, our bodies continue to share in the death of Jesus so that the life of Jesus may also be seen in our bodies.

You Matter

We were driving the other day and I saw a bumper sticker that read “You Matter”. With all the world is going through with “fill in the blank” matters. But I think more than all the political and social agendas, we need to get back to realizing that “You Matter”. That means individually without any so-called group to be a part of.

Matthew 18:12-14 (Parable of the Lost Sheep) “If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them wanders away, what will he do? Won’t he leave the ninety-nine others on the hills and go out to search for the one that is lost? 13 And if he finds it, I tell you the truth, he will rejoice over it more than over the ninety-nine that didn’t wander away! 14 In the same way, it is not my heavenly Father’s will that even one of these little ones should perish.

1. You are precious

Luke 12:22-32 (Don’t Worry) Then, turning to his disciples, Jesus said, “That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food to eat or enough clothes to wear. 23 For life is more than food, and your body more than clothing. 24 Look at the ravens. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for God feeds them. And you are far more valuable to him than any birds! 25 Can all your worries add a single moment to your life? 26 And if worry can’t accomplish a little thing like that, what’s the use of worrying over bigger things?

27 “Look at the lilies and how they grow. They don’t work or make their clothing, yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are. 28 And if God cares so wonderfully for flowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith?

29 “And don’t be concerned about what to eat and what to drink. Don’t worry about such things. 30 These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers all over the world, but your Father already knows your needs. 31 Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and he will give you everything you need.

32 “So don’t be afraid, little flock. For it gives your Father great happiness to give you the Kingdom.

2. You are valuable
