THE POWER OF A SINGLE VERSE [series]

Pastor Rick Jackson

I. THE PLAINNESS OF THE VERSE

1. It is Personal “Seek YE first” – No-one can make these decisions for you [Psalm 27:8, Is. 34:16]

2. It is a Priority “Seek ye FIRST” – Foolish to put this off- life is fragile, no promise of later [Lk. 12:20]

3. It is Perennial - lasting for a long or apparently infinite time; enduring or continually recurring: [Ps. 23:6]

II. THE PERSON OF THE VERSE

1. This is God’s Kingdom – He Sets the Rules [Exodus 9:29, Deuteronomy 10:14, Psalm 24:1, 1 Corinthians 10:26, 28]

2. This is God’s King – He sets the Reign [Ps. 2:6-12]

3. This is God’s Kindness – [2 Cor. 5:21, Titus 3:3-8]

III. THE PROMISE OF THE VERSE – make pleasing God your business and God will make you His business

1. Eliminates Worry [v. 34]

Isaiah 12:2 Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation.]

2. Eliminates Waste - Matthew 10:39, 16:25

3. Eliminates Waffling – Pr. 3:5-7, Isaiah 30:21

“And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it”
