What Are You Seeking? Matthew 7:7

Some Things We Should NOT Seek After Romans 10:3 – to establish our own righteousness Paul was dealing with his Jewish brethren who had rejected Jesus. Many today think they can establish their own way to God Many today think they are fine. They are not!

Some Things We Should NOT Seek After 1 Corinthians 1:22 – after the wisdom of men More interested in the philosophies of men than God 1:23 – a stumbling block Acts 17:32 – some mocked Romans 1:20-21

Some Things We Should NOT Seek After Self-gratification We live in times of selfishness 1 Corinthians 13:5 love does not seek its own James 3:14-16 – wisdom of this world is self-seeking, and demonic

Some Things We Should NOT Seek After Galatians 1:10 – to please men We live in times of great compromise and the fear of offending others While being hateful is never godly, we should not shy away from defending the truth – 1 Peter 3:15

Some Things We Should NOT Seek After Philippians 2:21 – for all seek their own Far too many are guilty of this. Are we guilty of this to some degree?

We need to seek after God Psalm 10:4 – the wicked does not seek God Psalm 14:2 - is there anyone? (Romans 3:10-11) Matthew 6:32-33 – seek first God’s kingdom and all these things will be added to you Matthew 13:45-46

We need to seek after God Colossians 3:1-2 – the things above John 5:30 – even Jesus did not seek His own, but the will of the Father Hebrews 5:8-9 John 6:38 Matthew 3:17, 17:5 – God was pleased with Him Is God pleased with how we seek Him?

Some things we ought to seek Seeking God first will affect everything we do and how we perceive this world Acts 17:27 – God all around us Romans 1:19-20 – are we looking to see His work in creation?

Some things we ought to seek 1 Corinthians 10:24 – the well being of others While we are to work out our own salvation (Philippians 2:12), we are reminded its not just about me Romans 14:1, 13, 15, etc. Proverbs 20:19 Philippians 2:3-4, 4:17 Who did Jesus look out for?

Some things we ought to seek 1 Peter 3:11 – peace Seek peace and pursue it Romans 14:18-19

Some things we ought to seek Proverbs 2:4-5 – wisdom Proverbs 15:14 James 3:17-18, the wisdom from above

Some things we ought to seek Hebrews 11:6 – the reward He offers Romans 2:7 – eternal life awaits those who are seeking glory, honor and immortality Hebrews 13:14 Hebrews 11:14-16 2 Timothy 4:7-8

What are we seeking for?
