The Power of Firsts

Oct 12, 2025    Pastor Doug Gilford

Before a single wall goes up, a builder spends hours measuring that first corner. Why? Because if it’s off, the whole house is crooked. Our lives work the same way — what we put first determines whether everything else stays in line.


In this powerful message, Pastor Doug Gilford takes us to the words of Jesus in Matthew 6:33, “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” Through stories, Scripture, and real-life parallels, he reveals how misplaced priorities lead to imbalance — and how putting God first brings alignment, purpose, and peace.
