Sunday School Lesson: Seek First His Kingdom
Matthew 6:33
1. Welcome
Hello Friends!
Welcome to Sunday School. Today, our lesson is titled “Seek First His Kingdom.” Let’s learn together how we can make God our first priority every day.
2. Introduction
What did you do yesterday?
What are your plans for next week?
Our lives are so busy! We go to school, play with friends, and sometimes we catch a cold for a week. We wash our hands, faces, and teeth daily. Sometimes, we go on exciting trips, maybe by airplane with our families. We cook, eat, and study every day.
What about summer? We visit swimming pools or lakes.
Life is full of activities, and it can be confusing to know what to do first.
On top of that, there are things we can’t control—times when we feel sick, sad, or tired.
So, what should we do when life feels overwhelming or when we face difficult situations?
3. God’s Answer
God has already given us the answer in His Word! Let’s read today’s verse together:
“But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”
—Matthew 6:33
4. What Does It Mean to Seek His Kingdom?
What does it mean to seek His kingdom and righteousness?
