We're in week 4 of our series Toxic Emotions and today we're discussing worry and anxiety. But there's good news - the apostle Paul writes in Philippians that we can take all of our worries to God and get his peace in exchange. We're looking forward to unpacking this idea more this morning!

Proverbs 14:30 says, "A tranquil heart gives life to the flesh, but envy makes the bones rot." Envy can ruin our lives and keep us trapped in comparing ourselves to others. But God wants us to find contentment with what He's given us. Because contentment is the ultimate cure for envy.

We're continuing our Toxic Emotions series today and discussing how to handle anger. God through Jesus has forgiven us and we're called to exchange our angry spirit for one of kindness, gentleness, and forgiveness towards each other. We hope today's message is helpful with something we all struggle with!

We're kicking off a brand new series today called Toxic Emotions! Fear (and other emotions like it) have a way of trapping our minds and holding us captive. But you don't have to live like this! Pastor Steve talks about the real hope that Jesus gives us to overcome our emotions.

We're looking forward to hearing from our good friend, Dr. Sam Thomas, of Hopegivers International! We hope that through learning what God's doing in Dr. Thomas' life and around the world, that you would be challenged and encouraged in your walk with the Lord.

Pastor Steve is wrapping up our teaching series, Be The Church! Over the last few weeks, we've covered our church strategy as we've talked about how we can help people love Jesus and everyone else by practicing spiritual disciplines and being connected in a group. Today we're looking at the last component which involves worshiping and taking the Gospel to the people around us!

We're continuing our study Be The Church and talking about the WE component of our church strategy. We believe that building authentic relationships with others is a must to grow in loving Jesus and everyone else.

Today, we're continuing to talk about how spiritual disciplines shape us into the image of Jesus as we continue our Be The Church series!

Without spiritual discipline, our flesh will rob us of the life God wants us to have and we become slaves to every impulse. Today we're talking about our I-WE-HE strategy as a church and 2 spiritual disciplines that allow God to use us for his church: bible study and prayer.

Pastor Steve is back as we jump into a brand new series: BE THE CHURCH. What does it look like for OBC to be the church? We'll be diving into what Colossians 2 shows us.
