Sermon: "Seek First: Aligning Our Priorities"

Scripture: Proverbs 3:9-10 NIV & Matthew 6:33 NIV

“Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops; then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine.”

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭3‬:‭9‬-‭10‬ ‭NIV‬‬

“But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭33‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Big Idea: When we prioritize God in our lives, He takes care of our every need, including our finances.

INTRODUCTION: "Why worry? Put God first!"

“Moreover, it is required of stewards that they be found faithful.”

‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭4‬:‭2‬ ‭ESV‬‬

FIVE AREAS OF STEWARDSHIP:

When we tithe:
