What does it actually mean to seek first the Kingdom? In Matthew 6, Jesus reminds us that life isn't about chasing success or security. It starts with putting God first—and trusting Him to provide what we need. When we live with a Kingdom-first mindset, it changes how we spend our time, handle our money, and even how we engage in politics. Join us as we unpack what it looks like to pursue the presence, power and practice of Jesus here on earth for a life saturated with Kingdom purpose.

On another occasion Luke tells us that Jesus was asked, “Who is my neighbor?” Jesus defined a neighbor by telling of the unexpected kindness of a Samaritan to a man who had been robbed. Loving others reveals our relationship with the heavenly Father.

Oh how he loves you. Oh how he loves me. Oh how he loves you and me.Duane Brooks: We have been loved too well by our heavenly Father to speak and act unkindly to people even if they think they are our enemies.G. K. Chesterton: The Bible tells us to love our neighbors and also to love our enemies; probably because they are generally the same people.Duane Brooks: We have been forgiven too much not to forgive others.A mentor said to John Claypool: stay as close as you can to the Father, and to others and work to bring them closer to each other.John Murphrey wrote a poem for his wife Ann.  She died on February 2, 2008.I met Him long ago, But why so long for meTo hear His daily whispers to my soulI guess I'll never knowHe lived and breathed before my eyes Each time she looked my wayToday she lives within my heartAn example of His bestShe opened up my mind to HimHis living-presence she displayedThis “living-presence in her heartThat's what defined her lifeLeft me aching for the sameUntil the Master cameNow I know what she knew thenHis spirit lives and breathsSeeks and find a heart like hers to express Himself to all on earthSoren Kierkegaard: Most people really believe that the Christian commandments (for example, to love one's neighbor as oneself) are intentionally a little too severe—like putting the clock ahead half an hour to make sure of not being late in the morning.Bishop Whipple: I have tried to see the face of Christ in those with whom I differed.Helmut Thielecke: Loving our enemies is not loving the dirt in which the pearl is buried but the pearl which lies in the dust.  God does not love us because we are lovable.  But we become lovable because he loves us.C. S. Lewis: Do not waste your time bothering whether you “love” your neighbor; act as if you did.  As soon as we do this we find one of the great secrets.  When you are behaving as if you loved someone, you will presently come to love him. Thomas Merton:  To love someone is to will the good for them.Duane Brooks: Your enemies are not my enemies.To discover more messages of hope go to tallowood.org/sermons/.Follow us on Instagram, X, and YouTube @tallowoodbc.Follow us on FaceBook @tallowoodbaptist

People have been talking to our President this week. I remember a preacher in San Antonio who used to address the President regularly in his sermons. I didn't think the President was listening to him, so it seemed a bit dramatic to me. If you could speak the truth to someone in power, what would you say? If you met a King, what would you do? In the scriptures we read about people who had audiences with the King. What would you say if I told you that you may have an audience with the King of Kings today, what would you say? How would you pray? Massege based on Matthew 6:9-13, 7:7-11.Quotes:Duane Brooks: Jesus is teaching us that when we pray, we are literally experiencing nothing less than an audience with the king.Graham Goldsworthy: There is a king who rules. There are a people who are ruled. There is a sphere where this rule is recognized as taking place.S.D. Gordon: The great people of the earth today are the people who pray. Dave Peterson: I suspect if we could hear the voice of the heavenly father as we asked him for the things that we need, Not only would he give us what we need, but he would say, thanks for asking.George Herbert: Prayer, the church's banquet, angel's age, God's breath in man returning to his birth, The soul in paraphrase, heart in pilgrimage, The Christian plummet sounding heaven and earth; Heaven in Ordinary.Vernon McGee: This is God's universe, and God does things his way. You may be sure you have a better way, but you don't have a universe.Duane Brooks: Jesus' headquarters is in heaven, and his embassies are all over the world. And you and I are his servants. We have one king, and the reason for our unabashed audacity is his unlimited authority. Jesus said, all authority in heaven and earth has been given to me.Young Man: He said, if there's another way I can serve our country, I'd be glad to. But I don't wanna serve it with a rifle at this point.Judge: I understand. But you must be practical. The principles you're describing belong to the kingdom of God—and it hasn't come yet.Young man: Sir, I understand that it has not come for you, nor for Russia or the world. But the kingdom of God has come for me. I cannot continue hating and killing as though it hadn't.We know John Newton for his famous hymn Amazing Grace. He was a Baptist preacher and former slave ship owner in England. Another of his hymns teaches us about prayer:Come, my soul, thy suit pre­pare,Jesus loves to ans­wer pray­er;He Him­self has bid thee pray,Therefore will not say thee nay.Thou art com­ing to a king,Large pe­ti­tions with thee bring;For His grace and pow­er are such,None can ev­er ask too much. Karl Barth: Here's the thing about total need. Total need requires total help.#prayer #worship #divineguidance  #forgiveness #godspresence  To discover more messages of hope go to tallowood.org/sermons/.Follow us on Instagram, X, and YouTube @tallowoodbc.Follow us on FaceBook @tallowoodbaptist

How do we get into the Kingdom of God? Is it more of a domain or a dominion? Who gets into the Kingdom finally? In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus answered these questions. It turns out it depends on who you know and who knows you. Do we know the King?
