2 “Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you? – Unless indeed you are disqualified.” 2 Corinthians 13:5

3 Examination is something that is important from time to time. With 2012 approaching it is a good time to examine. In our lessons today we want to notice some underlying issues that could hinder us from achieving our goals.

4 Seek First the Kingdom of God Matthew 6:33 This is the key to everything Kingdom – means the dominion of a king (ruler) Ours is a spiritual kingdom – Jn. 18:36, Lk. 17:20-21
