In this message from the Seek First the Kingdom series, Student Pastor Connor Alliston unpacks Jesus’ words from Matthew 6:30, “Why do you have so little faith?”, exploring how oligopistos faith is often shaped by circumstances, fear, and misplaced limits on God. Through Scripture, we see that true biblical faith is not wishful thinking or blind optimism, but confident obedience to God’s Word despite uncertain outcomes. This sermon invites listeners to seek first the Kingdom and discover how God grows our faith through communion with Him, renewed perspective, and enduring trials.

In this message from the Seek First The Kingdom series, “Who’s Your Master?”, we explore Jesus’ words in Matthew 6:19–24 and the heart behind Matthew 6:33. Jesus makes it clear: it’s not wrong to have possessions—but it is dangerous when possessions have us. This sermon examines how money and material things can subtly enslave our hearts, minds, and wills, pulling our devotion away from God. By unpacking Jesus’ teaching on treasure, vision, and masters, we’re reminded that wealth itself isn’t evil—but it makes a terrible master. True freedom is found when we seek first God’s Kingdom and allow Him alone to be Lord.

As a new year begins, we often chase change through effort and resolutions, only to find ourselves unchanged and discouraged. In this message from Seek First The Kingdom, we explore Jesus’ invitation in Matthew 6:33 to focus on the one thing that truly leads to an abundant life—actively seeking God’s Kingdom and His righteousness above all else. Discover how misplaced priorities, worry, and divided devotion distract us, and how fixing our eyes on Jesus realigns everything else.
