Losing My Religion

Not many people are fans of leftovers. We've been taught not to waste food and we feel bad about throwing it away, but if we're being honest eating leftovers makes us feel even worse. Why do many of us shy away from leftovers? Because the food we make is best the first time around.

And yet many of us give God our leftovers. Not the food in our fridge, but the leftovers of our lives. We exhaust ourselves pursuing success, pleasure, security, love, family and stuff... and then we offer our leftovers to God. God loves us too much to let us miss out on the blessing of giving the best of our lives to Him.

In this three-week series, we are going to get back to school with our priorities in alignment and see the difference it makes when we "seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness" (Matt. 6:33) and leave the leftovers for everything else.
