Part 2 of our sermon series 'The Gift of Hope'.

"You can dwell on your problems, or you can dwell on God’s promises." Pastor Blaine addresses worry and how to find peace in God!

• Worry is unnatural – nature doesn’t worry.

• Worry is unhelpful – it doesn’t actually change anything.

• Worry is unchristian – it reflects a lack of faith.

How to Give God Your Worry and Experience His Peace

1. Let Jesus be King.

2. Live a day at a time.

3. Lean on the faithfulness of God.

There are two things Paul says to do with worry…

1. Tell God about it – take it to him in prayer.

2. Thank God for what he has done.

When you let Jesus be king, live a day at a time, and lean on God’s faithfulness, he will guard your heart and your mind with his peace.

Anxiety < prayer = Peace

Pastor Blaine completes the series 'One Yes'.

Moving from being ‘a Christian’ to being ‘Christian’!

We’ve conditioned ourselves into looking for a decision… but as we trust Him, the decision has already been made, we said yes!!

What did we say ‘yes’ to?

Holiness,

compassion in our hearts (as opposed to just our hands),

kindness,

humility,

meekness,

patience,

forgiveness,

above all, love! (Col 3)
