First Things First: Making Christ #1 Part 2 In Chapter 2, Paul now moves to identify four basic philosophies of the world that work against the believer’s goal and attempts to make Christ first in life.

Despite the tremendous demonstrations of his power throughout the region, those in his own hometown of Nazareth reject him.

Extolling the virtues of God’s word and the attributes of his character, the psalmist in Psalm 33 gives reason for their hope and trust in God. By growing in their understanding of who God is and what he does, God’s people can look to the future with greater confidence and comfort.

In Psalm 67, God’s people pray that God would, “be gracious to us and bless us and make his face to shine upon us”.
