Free Matthew 6:33 Coloring Page – Seek First His Kingdom

Description

This simple and meaningful colouring page features the verse from The Gospel of Matthew 6:33 — “Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness.” — providing a perfect faith-filled activity for children. It’s a wonderful tool for Sunday School, homeschooling or quiet time, helping kids visualise a key teaching of Jesus and reflect on the idea of focusing on God above everyday worries.

What’s inside

Children will find inside the worksheet:

• Bold large text of the key phrase: “Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness. Matthew 6:33” — clear for little hands to colour.

• A graphic of a stylised open gate/archway with sun-rays or rays of light behind it (symbolising “kingdom”/entry).

• Clean outlines and simple shapes (clouds, rays, castle or gate towers) suited for younger children and easy colouring.

• Plenty of blank or open space so kids can choose their own colours, fill in patterns or decorate borders.

Why it’s useful

• Reinforces memory of Scripture: Having a visual sheet helps children remember Matthew 6:33 and what it means.

• Encourages reflection and discussion: The concept of seeking God’s kingdom first invites children to consider what they value and how they live daily. See interpretation of the verse for context.

• Promotes fine motor skills and creativity: Colouring the page allows kids to explore colour choices, details, and artistic expression.

• Versatile for a variety of age groups: Younger kids can simply colour and repeat the verse; older children can include questions/activities about what “kingdom” means, or how to live righteously.

How to use it

1. Print the worksheet on standard paper (A4 or Letter).

2. Introduce the verse: Read Matthew 6:33 together — “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be added unto you.”

3. Colour the page: Encourage children to use bright colours for the rays of light, choose special colours for the gate/gateway, and decorate the border or background.

4. Reflection discussion: Ask simple questions such as:

   • What do you think “kingdom of God” means?

   • What might it mean to seek God’s righteousness in your everyday life?

   • What are some things that might distract us from seeking God first?

5. Display or share: After colouring, hang the sheet in the classroom, Sunday club room, or at home as a visual reminder of the verse and concept.

6. Optional extension:

   • Have children write their own “righteousness goal” at the bottom (e.g., “I will speak kindly this week”).

   • Use this sheet as part of a mini-lesson on worry vs trust: reference Matthew 6:25-32 where Jesus teaches about worry before this verse.

   • Plan a craft activity: decorate the rays with glitter, or create a “gate to God’s kingdom” with cut-outs.
