If you didn't bring a Bible with you, hold your hand up if you didn't bring a Bible with

you and go to Matthew the 6 chapter. Matthew chapter 6.

Matthew 6 and verse 33 for some weeks now when I've been with you we've been talking about

seeking the kingdom.

And I'd like to continue in this morning.

In Matthew 633, Jesus said, but seek ye first, the kingdom of God.

Well, let's back up to the previous verse, verse 32. He had said,

after all these things do the Gentiles seek? And he was talking about what we'd call

making a living or a comfortable living or retirement or taking care of you and your family,

your housing, your food and drink and clothing

and all those kind of things.

After all these things do the Gentiles seek, for your Heavenly Father knows that you have

need of all these things.

I've heard some people say, well, you know, we might not, maybe we don't, we think we need

it, but maybe we don't need it. No, the said, God knows you need it. So then you need it. But he goes

on to say, verse 33, don't, don't seek after that. Don't let that be your priorities and your

pursuit. But seek rather first, what?

The kingdom of God and his righteousness.

Now, the righteous, the yes on the end of right, that's old English.

We don't talk like that today. We'd probably just say

rightness. And where God's kingdom is manifest, you will see what is right being done.

And everything that God does is right and good.
