Seek First the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness

Text: Matt. 6:19-34 Date: 5/17/2026 Preacher: Tyler Kerley Legendary UCLA Bruins basketball coach John Wooden (also known as "The Wizard of Westwood") once said, "Failure to prepare is preparing to fail." In this passage, our Lord Jesus says something similar - only these are the words of not merely a strong leader, an effective coach, or a wise wizard; these are the words of the Ascended Lord: "Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you."   In this passage, Jesus cautions us against the dangers of worldliness by teaching us ... To treasure things of an eternal value, To maintain in everything an eternal perspective, and To seek an eternal prosperity.
