Seek First The Kingdom


Listen Later

What if the exhaustion we feel isn't from doing too little, but from centering our lives around the wrong things? This powerful exploration of Matthew 6:25-33 challenges us to examine what truly sits at the center of our existence. We make tens of thousands of decisions daily, yet rarely ask ourselves: what kingdom am I actually seeking? Jesus doesn't just command us to seek first the kingdom of God as another item on our spiritual to-do list. Instead, He reveals that the kingdom is the very environment our souls were designed for. Through the parable of the treasure hidden in a field, we discover that transformation happens not through gritted-teeth discipline, but when something so valuable enters our vision that it naturally reorders everything else. The man in the parable sells all he has with joy, not obligation. This is the invitation before us: to recognize that we've been trying to fit God into lives already shaped by fear, ambition, and control, when the truth is our lives are meant to fit into His kingdom. When we trust God with heaven but not with Monday, with eternity but not with rent or reputation, we reveal where our real center lies. The kingdom offers us a life no longer held together by anxiety, but organized around trust in the King who already came near to us.
