    Therefore, Do Not Be Anxious!

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Feb 11, 2021
     | 4,387 views

    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

    When you think of a treasure, what crosses your mind? Perhaps something buried by a pirate?

    In this day of "fluff and icing", "feel good", "me-centered" beliefs, sermons, and teachings, the church in this present age has, for all practical purposes, abandoned the call for holiness and separation from the world.

    We who call ourselves followers of Jesus Christ in these last days have, for all practical purposes, allowed the world to tell us what to think and say when it comes to the authority of the Scriptures, the person and work of Jesus, God's nature, and the coming judgment upon this wicked and ...read more
