Followers of Jesus should look a certain way, with Christ at the center and everything else on the fringe.
Talking Points:
- Followers of Jesus should look a certain way, with Christ at the center and everything else on the fringe. This concept is all over the Bible and especially evident in the teachings of Jesus. Matthew 6:33
- Christ at the center is the only way to live as a follower of Jesus. Anything else is getting it out of order and is destructive for our lives.

- What does it look like to NOT seek God first in the areas above? Give some examples.
- What are the benefits of seeking God first? Why is it so difficult for Christians to do?
