Seek Ye First the Kingdom of God
License Plate Handout
Texts: I Kings 2:10-12; I Kings 3:3-14; Matthew 6:25-34
Solomon's request for wisdom (an understanding and discerning heart) provides an example of one who understands the difference between needs and wants, as well as an example of faith that helps us in our own stewardship decisions. If we seek God's Kingdom first, we will have no need of worrying about the material concerns of this world.

An Ungrateful Response to Grace - August 13, 2006
An Ungrateful Response to Grace
Texts: John 6:22-27; Luke 17:11-19; Psalm 78:23-32; Exodus 16; II Samuel 9:1-13; II Samuel 16:1-4; II Samuel 19:24-28
The story of Mephibosheth forms an example for how we should live our lives as a response to God's grace. When compared to the crowds who sought after loaves to fill their bellies or the Israelites who hoarded manna, we see Mephibosheth as one who recognizes his dependence upon David's grace, but does not presume upon it.
