When danger strikes, most people instinctively move away from it. First responders run toward the danger. Today God calls us to be spiritual first responders when we see people in trouble because of sin. Instead of self-preservation and comfort, we choose service to them and to our Lord. Our motive is the grace of God and his desire for the salvation of all mankind.

True wealth isn't measured by what we own but by what God has given us. Real riches are found in Him and in the eternal blessings that are ours through Christ. That is the focus of our worship today.
