Seek First the Kingdom, Matthew 6:33
from Ben Smith: All for the Kingdom · host Ben Smith
In Matthew 6:33, Jesus commands, “Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” This command comes in the context of Jesus’ teaching about worry and anxiety. Our fears over provision often reveal that our hearts are more focused on the temporary than the eternal.Pastor Ben Smith explains that seeking first the kingdom requires a reordering of priorities. God’s people are called to seek His rule, pursue His righteousness, and trust His provision. Worry focuses on our needs and our inability to meet them; prayer turns our attention to the power, providence, and provision of God.This message calls believers to reject the anxiety of self-rule and live with singular devotion to the kingdom of God.To learn more, visit BenSmithSr.org.
