Matthew 6 · Grade 3

Seek First the Kingdom

Name Date

Read the Story

Jesus taught that when we give, pray, or fast, we should do it for God and not to show off. God sees what we do in secret, and He rewards us. When we pray, we do not need to use many words. God already knows what we need.

Jesus taught the Lord's Prayer. It begins, "Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy." We pray for God's Kingdom to come, for daily bread, for forgiveness, and for help against evil. Jesus said we must forgive others too.

Jesus said not to store up treasures on earth, where things break or get stolen, but to store up treasures in heaven. Do not worry about food or clothes. God feeds the birds and clothes the lilies. "seek first God's Kingdom and his righteousness;" and all these things will be given to you.

Memory Verse

“But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well.”
