The sentence simply means that the speaker's sister is going to visit him/her. the apostrophe s after the word 'sister' acts as a short form for 'sister is'.
The verb here is come,written in the present continuous form as coming. Though it is in this form, it is intended as a future event. 'Sister' is the noun and 'my' is the possessive pronoun. The word 'first' at the end of the sentence could simply mean that the speaker's sister is going to come over and after that some other event is expected to happen. But, the sister's going to come to the place before this event can happen.

The word sister’s is a short form representation of sister is. So, this sentence means
My sister is coming over first.
From the sentence, it is evident that there is more than one person who are coming to a certain place. However, no one has reached yet. The first person who will reach the place is the sister. The sentence is an example of an action that is going to take place and is written in present continuous tense.
