Don't Worry Is Easier Said Than Done

Contributed by Joel Pankow on Jul 14, 2022

Do Not Be Anxious.

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 13, 2023

When He is in charge of our lives we need not worry about tomorrow today.

DO NOT BE ANXIOUS. Luke 12:22-31. LUKE 12:22. “Take no thought” is an unfortunate translation (Matthew 6:25). When Jesus says (literally) “be not careful,” He obviously is not sanctioning thoughtlessness, nor even carelessness. He rather means, “Do not be anxious.” What shall we eat? What ...read more

Therefore, Do Not Be Anxious!

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Feb 11, 2021

Jesus isn't simply telling us not to be anxious. He's calling us to have a completely different attitude towards material possessions and material needs from the rich fool; to be confident in God and in that confidence, to be rich towards God and others.

‘Do not be anxious.’ That’s what Jesus told his disciples. If only! we might think. Can we banish anxiety from our hearts simply because Jesus tells us to? We’re in a series in Luke, following Jesus and his disciples on their journey from Galilee down to Jerusalem. Their journey starts in Luke ...read more

The Believer’s Role In The Kingdom Series

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Jan 5, 2023

Sermon- The Believer’s Role In the Kingdom Scripture: Luke 12:28-34 “28 And if God cares so wonderfully for flowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you.

Why Are We Afraid

Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Apr 19, 2023

Suffocating In Worry

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 30, 2022

Worry causes us to feel as though we’re grasping for breath and walking around half-dead. Worry zaps our life and drains our strength. In order to have true life in the Lord, we must place all our cares in the hands of Jesus Christ.

E. Stanley Jones, a missionary to India in the early 1900’s, stated, “I live better by faith and confidence than by fear, doubt and anxiety. In anxiety and worry, my being is grasping for breath - these are not my native air. But in faith and confidence, I breathe freely - these are my native ...read more

Worry has become so normal that many assume it is simply part of being human. But Jesus calls His disciples to something radically different. He calls us to trust. He calls us to open our eyes to something as simple, as beautiful, and as fragile as a flower — and learn from it the theology of trust.
