What Are You Seeking?

Speaker: Pastor Raleigh Sims


Scripture Focus: Mark 10:17–22


Service Summary: One of the best ways to commit
passages of Scripture to memory is by learning to sing them.
“Seek Ye First” (LSB 712) supplies a trio of passages taken from
Matthew. The first of the three is a section of what is known as
the Sermon on the Mount, where Jesus counsels His hearers, “Seek
first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these
things will be added to you” (Matthew 6:33). The kingdom of God
truly is found by those whom the Lord has sought and claimed as
His own. By God’s grace in Jesus, those “found people” include
us. With hymn writer Henry Baker, who beautifully paraphrased
Psalm 23, we can sing, “Perverse and foolish oft I strayed, But
yet in love He sought me” (LSB 709:3). Happiness is being found!
