Matthew 6:33 (3of3) Seek then Speak
But seek ye first his kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. -Matthew 6:33
Seek then speak, that’s what kept going through my mind as i sat drinking coffee with a older friend yesterday. “Christ is life,” he said. I started thinking about the mountain in front of us as a church community; locations, finances, introductions, operations, etc and then just stopped. Seek then speak ran through my mind again.
We are building a church on three blocks: The passionate pursuit of God, overflowing compassion for people, and Godly wisdom. Before we serve, before we lead, we must first engage in our own passionate pursuit. Seek the speak, is what my life should be about.
My friend also quoted Matthew 16:18 “I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it.” He looked at me and said, “God says that He will build His church.”
All this is to say… I want to first commit myself to the pursuit of God. In seeking Him all other things will be added.
