Seek The Kingdom First - Part 1
Anxiety and fear are the biggest issues that the world faces today but if we as believers “Seek The Kingdom First” then we will overcome any challenges that await us. Philippians 4:6 says “Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.”
Senior Pastor Travis Tullis explains through scriptures Matthew 6:25-34, that we must seek the Kingdom of God first by putting our trust in God for all our necessities.
In times of uncertainty, people might become overwhelmed with the many concerns and challenges they face. But if we seek God’s Kingdom first, then all things will be added to us, and that means we will have everything we need.
Jesus urges us in Matthew 6:25-34 to recognize how the birds and the lilies are an illustration of the beauty of God's work. He makes it known that the lily doesn't even have to work to be beautiful, and yet it surpasses even King Solomon's splendor. This is a vital reminder that the beauty of God's creation is beyond man’s greatest accomplishments on this earth.
God values us more than we realize, so much so that He gave us His only begotten son so that we can have everlasting life if we would only believe on Him and trust in him. This means we don’t have to operate in a spirit of fear.
When we seek the Kingdom of God first, we can experience the peace and joy that Jesus promised us. By operating in faith and seeking God's Kingdom first we can receive the abundant life that God wants to give us.
Thank you, Senior Pastor Tullis, for leading us to go forward and higher together by knowing that God's Kingdom will always prevail when we put God first.
