SERMON OUTLINE FIRSTFRUITS Deuteronomy 26:1–11
What do you have to offer? Genesis 4:3–7 | Hebrews 11:4 “By faith Abel brought God a better offering than Cain did.” – Hebrews 11:4
1. YOU HAVE NOTHING TO PROVE. Grace comes before anything we bring. Deuteronomy 26:9–10a “He brought us to this place and gave us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey; and now I bring the firstfruits of the soil that you, Lord, have given me.”
2. YOU HAVE EVERYTHING TO HOPE FOR. Christ’s resurrection is the promise of what is coming. 1 Corinthians 15:20 “But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.”
3. YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO GIVE. God grows in us what he wants to give through us. Romans 8:23 “…we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies.” James 1:18 “He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all he created.” “Let us offer to Him the firstfruits of our actions, the firstfruits of our thoughts, the firstfruits of our words, and let us do nothing without Him.” John Chrysostom (347-407)

INTERESTED IN BECOMING A BELONG LE ADER? Help people find a place to connect, grow in faith, and build meaningful relationships at Peachtree! Belong Group Leaders bring people together once or twice a month to build community, grow through Peachtree’s curriculum, and develop deeper relationships in a welcoming small-group setting. Neighborhood Leaders lead a Belong Group while also encouraging and supporting other Belong leaders in their area, building a stronger sense of community across their neighborhood and with Peachtree Church.
Join us to learn more about both roles, ask questions and hear the vision to being a Belong Leader!
