Everyone is living for something. Only one thing is worth seeking first.
We open the series being confronted by the question of what we are really living for? What are we truly seeking? In this passage Jesus talks about treasure, about masters, about a divided heart, and he lets us know that ultimately every person must choose which kingdom they are going to live for, which king they are going to live under. The call to “Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness” is not about adding God on top of the life we already have. It’s about dethroning what has been sitting where he belongs. The week closes by turning that reordering into a posture. If the kingdom is what we seek first, then prayer is where the seeking begins, and this is where we launch the call to pray as a church.
