Seek First the Kingdom (A Study on Matthew)

By Christine Hoover

In the confusion and sheer volume of ideas vying for our attention, we must constantly return to the words of Jesus to find our focus, our purpose, and the foundation for a flourishing life. Using parables and stories, Jesus often spoke of the kingdom of God as what matters. In other words, the kingdom of God defines who we are and what we do as Christians. Learn how to find everlasting joy as a citizen of the kingdom in this study on the Book of Matthew.
