Seek First the Kingdom: Redemption from Worry and Worldly Distraction

Jun 14, 2026    Adam McCain

In this powerful Hill City message, Pastor Adam teaches from Psalm 107:2, “Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story,” and unpacks what it means to experience redemption from the cares of this world. Through Mark 4 and Matthew 6, Pastor Adam explains how worry, fear, the deceitfulness of riches, the pursuit of success, and the desire for nice things can choke out the Word of God and leave believers unfruitful. This message challenges every follower of Jesus to recognize when fear is driving their decisions and to trust God’s faithfulness instead of living under the weight of anxiety, pressure, and distraction.


Pastor Adam shares practical keys to walking in freedom, including seeking first the Kingdom of God, living simply, getting out from under bad decisions, and intentionally scheduling time with Jesus. This Hill City message encourages individuals, couples, and families to live on mission, prioritize what is eternal, and let prayer elevate their perspective above the worries of everyday life. If you are feeling overwhelmed by stress, finances, success, family pressure, or the distractions of the world, this sermon points you back to Jesus and reminds you that redemption, peace, and purpose are found in Him.
