     | 489 views

    This sermon talks about how seeking God first, His kingdom and His righteousness, leads to provision.

    Life constantly tempts us to chase after many things — success, security, approval, comfort. Jesus knew this. In Matthew 6, He addresses our human anxiety about daily needs — food, clothing, and tomorrow. Then He drops a revolutionary command: “But seek first the kingdom of God and His ...read more

    What Really Counts Series

I use a different wake up call system when I have an early morning appointment that is really important. I may set two alarms if I do not want to be late under any ...read more
