Seek First The Kingdom
Robin Volker

As we endeavor to create a church community that understands Jesus' teachings enough to live them, we are called day by day to attune to the Spirit Within to raise us to the Christ Consciousness in all things and in all our thoughts.

One of the well known teachings of Jesus is, "Seek first the kingdom of God and all else shall be added unto you". That idea is as relevant today as it was when Jesus walked the planet. What does this mean to you? For me, it means to put God first in our life. When we are consistent in our spiritual practices, stay centered in peace, appreciate the good, release attachments and see clearly that all is well, then life is a joyous adventure. The promise that Jesus made tells us that all that we desire will be ours if we stay focused on God.

As we pray for one another and for our new church community, we envision the Christ light shining from within us, guiding our spiritual path and all the decisions of our week. We trust that Spirit will lead us to health and wholeness, wisdom and security, peace, prosperity and abundant joy.

Know that as you let your light shine, you are blessed and you are a blessing.
