Spend Your First 5 Minutes with God

1 & 2 Chronicles: Turning to the King Who Never Turns Away

You were never meant to carry the weight of life disconnected from the presence of God.

Life has a way of pulling us in a hundred different directions. The pressure. The distractions. The nonstop pace. And sometimes, beneath it all, the quiet ache of feeling overlooked, forgotten, or unsure where we belong.

Somewhere along the way, it’s easy to feel disconnected from God too.

But God has always been in the business of drawing His people back to Himself.

That’s the heartbeat behind 1 & 2 Chronicles: Turning to the King Who Never Turns Away.

Through the stories of kings, worship leaders, and God’s faithfulness across generations, you’ll discover how worship re-centers your heart, reminds you of what’s true, and reconnects you with the God who has never stopped pursuing you.

The God who was faithful then is still faithful now. He still sees you. He still welcomes you. And He still invites you into His presence.

Here’s what our First 5 friends are saying …

  • I wake up every morning, and this is the first thing I pick up. It has impacted me that I start my day with Jesus. I was starting it with anxiety and fear, and I had been struggling with trusting God. If I start with First 5 in the mornings, then my day is headed in the right direction.

    Marsha B.
  • First 5 has helped me a lot since I have deleted social media. I was dealing with shame and anxiety from my past. I used to wake up and go on Facebook, but instead I now go on First 5. I’ve been looking for a consistent way to get in the Word and love First 5. I use First 5 to deeper understand my study and get different perspectives. First 5 is the positive way I need to start my day in troubling times.

    Emily B.
  • God has worked in my life through First 5 by holding me accountable and relearning His Word and teaching. It makes me feel uplifted. It has surrounded me and made me hungry for more teaching. It just opened my eyes and has been the biggest blessing. I thank God for allowing this and bringing His Word to me when I needed it.
