Seek First: 2. One Thing I Ask (Psalm 27) | Michael Bouterse

“One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek…” What is that one thing for you? Wisdom? Comfort? Stability? David’s answer would be God Himself!  We find 3 actions are associated with how David seeks God: Dwelling, Gazing, and Inquiring. In the second part of Thrive’s series “Seek First”, we dive into the heart of David’s desire for God, as found in Psalm 27.

Scripture passages cited (or alluded to):

Psalm 27; John 5:39-40; Luke 15:11-32; Mark 3:13-19

1. Seeking God (Matthew 7:7-11) | Michael Bouterse

"Seek, and you will find." "If you seek me, you will find me." "It is time to seek the Lord." The theme of seeking God is found throughout the Scripture, and with it, a promise: if you seek God, you will find Him. As the church, how do we make good on this promise? How do we take it seriously? And what does it really mean to "find" God if God is everywhere? These questions and more are the subject of Thrive's June series, "Seek First."

Scripture passages cited (or alluded to) in this message include Matthew 7:7-11; 1 Samuel 10:2; 26:2; 1 Kings 18:10; 22:43; Psalm 22:26; 27:8; 40:16; 63:1; 70:4; 77:2; 105:3-4; 119:58; 139:7-10; Chronicles 14:2; 15; 22:9; 34:3, 33; Colossians 3:1; Hebrews 11:6; John 1:38; 20:15; Jeremiah 23:24; Acts 17:27; Isaiah 6:1-5; Job 42:5-6; and Hosea 10:12.
