Stop Worrying, Seek the Kingdom, Trust God

In Luke 12:22–34, we find Jesus contrasting two ways to
approach obtaining the necessities of life: one based on
worry and one based on trust.

I. Do not worry about or seek food or clothing
(v. 22, 29).
A. For there is more to life than food and the
body than clothing (v. 23).
B. If God feeds the ravens, and you are much
more valuable than birds, you can trust
Him to feed you (v. 24).
C. For you can't add any length to your life by
worrying (vs. 25–26).
D. If God clothes the lilies with greater glory
than Solomon, and they are destined to be
used for fuel, you can trust Him to clothe
you (vs. 27–28).
E. For the nations worry and seek these things,
but your Father knows you need them
(v. 30).

II. Do trust your Father as you seek His kingdom
(v. 31a).
A. For your Father will give you food and
clothing (v. 31b).
B. For your Father is well-pleased to give you
the kingdom (v. 32).
C. So you can live generously, making an unfailing
heavenly treasure, with your passion directed
toward the kingdom (vs. 31–32).
