As we continue with the series of seeking first, listen to this enriching sermon as Pastor Anthony continues on the importance of seeking God first. To seek means, to pursue, to confirm, to explore, to search. Seeking means we are here to find out for ourselves, (first hand). For instance, we see this with the village people after hearing about Jesus from the woman at the well in John 4:42. Just like the village people, we are here Seeking to FIND, KNOW, UNDERSTAND, BECOME, CONFIRM & ESTABLISH. That’s why we talk about:Spiritual Disciplines: Fasting & prayer, bible reading & study, worship & praise, meditating on scripture and thanksgiving Why do we seek Him?Seeking Him is about seeking His will, plans & purposes. When you find Him, what then? Matthew 7:7-8- We seek His Kingdom for participation, mobilization & for change. (To become like Him)- We seek His interests.- Whatever you seek, that you will find. Jesus came to SEEK & SAVE that which is lost.- Jesus expects His seeking to produce an outcome. It's important that when we search for something (like peace) then we look for the source. For us, Jesus is that source. Oftentimes we face challenges in searching. The challenges are: GOD’S FIRST VS YOUR FIRSTSometimes, when we read the bible we get challenged in our thinking by what it says. So many times what God says, seems to fly in the face of what we say & do (Matthew 19:30, Matthew 20:16, Philippians 2:3).Jesus knew that in life people were chasing & being chased. (That’s why this series; “seek FIRST the kingdom of God” is important). Let's look at GOD’S FIRSTIt's important that God is first in all that we do. God says in Proverbs 24:27 TPT “Go ahead, build your career and give yourself to your work. But if you put me first, you’ll see your family built up!” MY CANNOT IS GOD’S CAN.We se
