Balance of priorities
Paul Pierucki · December 10, 2025 · 6:00 PM service
Preaching from Matthew 6, Pastor Pierucki teaches that believers must put God first and keep their lives in right balance, trusting the Father to provide their basic needs rather than being consumed by material things. He warns against getting our eyes off the Lord and shares from his own experience how family, ministry, and friendships fall into their proper place only when Christ holds first priority. Drawing also from Matthew 25 and Acts 20, he reminds the church that serving others flows from a genuine relationship with God and that God keeps record of what is done for the least of these.
“Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? …”
