Core Realities

God has given us priorities and rhythms for life---things we should pull to our core. Like rings in a tree, God has designed some things to be at the center of our being and to take higher priority. Other things should be less important and have a lower priority. When the most important things are central in our lives, we will have balance and joy. The problem is that we tend to form priorities from the outside in, letting the less important things crowd out, and often overtake, more important relationships and rhythms. This morning we will take a good look at a ring of priorities that show God's design---the things that ought to be core to our lives.
