- 4.Faith feeds worship; the deeper our trust in who Jesus is, the stronger and more transformative our worship becomes.
- 5.Because Jesus is worthy of worship through His unmatched sovereignty and unconditional love, He is also completely worthy of our trust.
- 6.Jesus reminds us in Matthew 6 that if God feeds the birds of the air and clothes the grass of the field, He will surely take care of His children.
- 7.When we seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, God takes responsibility for adding everything else we need.
