    Often times we say things without understanding their meaning. Often times we quote, "seek first his kingdom and his righteosness," but what does that really mean for us?

    What Does it Mean to Seek First the Kingdom? Introduction: One night, a group of thieves broke into a jewelry store. But rather than stealing anything, they simply switched all the price tags.

    First Things First

    Some form of the word “Seek” is used in the Bible over 150 times, therefore when we encounter a verse that clearly states we are to “seek first” something, that should clearly get our attention.

    First Things First Introduction Matthew 6:33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. The bible in different ways tells us what we need to seek for and what we should not seek. Examples – Leviticus 19:31 “‘Do not turn to mediums or seek ...read more

    "It's a scary world out there." True. So how do you deal with it? Worry? Or God's Word?

    SEEK GOD FIRST (Matthew 6:31-33) 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and ...read more

    Good morning, dear church family! I am excited to share with you today a message from the book of Matthew.

    Many have gotten their priorities confused. So much time is spent worrying about "things" that we lose sight of what truly matters. We seek gold while dismissing God. We seek health while neglecting holiness.

    MELVIN NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK TEXT: Matthew 6:26-33; Psalm 77:1-15 ILL. In the ancient Persian folktale, "Aladdin," Aladdin is the son of a poor tailor. After his father's death, a wicked magician, who claims to be Aladdin's long-lost uncle, persuades ...read more

    The truth is when we received Jesus as Lord and Savior of life, the old life has gone and the new has come.

    Every New Year we always heard about the resolution of every individual. They promise to change in their lives. Maybe like; I want to be slim this year, or I will not eat too much rice or something, or I will not be late for my work. There are a lot of new resolutions but after a week or month we ...read more

    This sermon is short but simple. Its main focus is to let people know that they should seek God first in everything.

    In order to keep things real with God, you must first be real with your self by knowing that with God, all things are possible but without him you can have nothing. People often say that God does not supply their needs when what they really mean is that he does not give them everything they want. ...read more

    The parable of the talents has more importance than we often understand. We used this sermon as a way of introducing gift centered ministries.

    OPEN: We use numbers all the time without knowing their significance or their meaning. For example: How many feet in a mile (5280 feet). Do you know why? The term mile come from the Latin word "mille" - meaning 1000. To the Romans it was the distance a soldier could cover in 1000 paces - about ...read more

    When storms of life strucks us, we often ask the question WHY ME? WHY MY FAMILY? WHY GOD?

    Many times in our lives we have asked this question; WHY ME?. And so often we do not have an answer for it.

    Why should we seek God, His Kingdom, His righteousness, and His provision? We seek God through His Word, Prayer, Fellowship, and Worship. We seek God first, for He being our Father, is our ever-present loving provider who knows all your needs.

But inevitably, and to everyone, problems do come. Relationships flounder, jobs are lost, money gets tight, kids rebel, and through it all, even in the ...read more
