To finish up the series of Why Worry is Wrong, Pastor Adam and Steph remind us that it is unwise to worry when we know who holds our tomorrow. If we learn to trust God and put him first in all things, then we recognize it is of no benefit to worry. Wisdom in understanding that God is in charge of your future, and he knows what is best for you.

It should be a goal of our lives to make our actions and our mindset be congruent with the life of faith that Jesus has called us to. If we are believers in Jesus and we worry, we behave as if we do not trust that God has promised to provide for us. In today's episode, Pastor Adam and Steph help us to see how worry is unreasonable for those who have faith in God, and how logical it is to trust he will meet our needs.

It would not make sense to put a lot of focus into something that is both unprofitable and unenjoyable, yet when we worry that is exactly what we are doing. We are so often worried about things that are beyond our control, and to what end? God, our Father, promises to take care of us, but the stress or worry is not helpful or needed. Pastor Adam and Steph show us through scripture why worry is unnecessary according to Jesus.

The number one reason why we should not worry is because our Lord, Jesus himself, told us not to. If we consider ourselves servants of God then our sole responsibility is to be obedient to our master. On today's episode, Pastor Adam and Steph explain why worry is an act of unfaithfulness, and they explain why God is someone you can always trust.

Do you find yourself frequently anxious or worried? Jesus' famously offered a lot of instruction when it comes to how we manage the weight we carry on our minds each day and how we should behave. He offers both the comfort of knowing God cares for our individual needs, and he offers a few reasons why worry is wrong. In this start of a new series, Pastor Adam and Steph break down the reasons why we should not worry, and they help us understand what Jesus wants to teach us about seeking God and depending on him.

How can we put God first at the beginning of the year? By fasting. Fasting is when you deny yourself of physical needs for a set period of time and instead focus your energy on connecting with God. Jesus assumes that his followers will fast, and he gave instruction on how to do it appropriately. In this final episode of the series, Pastor Adam and Steph detail the spiritual growth principle of fasting on the first of the year, and encourage each of us to continue to seek God first every day, every week, every month, and every year to master the art of being unordinary. *Scripture referenced in this episode: Matthew 6:16-18

On the first of the month we can practice the art of being unordinary by being obedient to God's command for generosity. Today the conversation is about money and tithing. Tithing is worshipfully giving God the first 10% of your income, and you can develop this discipline by planning how much you can give at the beginning of each other. Pastor Adam and Steph give the disclaimer, we do not want your money, and they share the significant impact of honoring God through giving back a portion of what he has given us.

To practice the art of being unordinary, Pastor Adam and Steph teach us the importance of prioritizing worship of God on the first of the week. Sunday is the beginning of the week, and it is best spent in corporate worship with fellow believers. It is easy to want to do other things, but if you can make church attendance a non-negotiable, you can also expect more opportunities for spiritual growth as you honor God's command to assemble together.

To practice the art of being unordinary, we can start off by putting God first each day. Rather than cramming our time with God in the 1.5 hours we spend in church on Sunday morning, we c an benefit from seeking God at the beginning of every morning. In this episode, Pastor Adam and Steph talk about the disciplines of reading the Bible and praying on a daily basis to help us grow spiritually throughout 2024.

Have you felt like you are simply just surviving? You do all the ordinary things. You go to work, eat regular meals, take care of chores, and fall asleep only to repeat the pattern the next day. Yet God intends for his people to do extraordinary things, and we are challenged to think differently from the culture. Join Pastor Adam and Steph as they discuss what it means to renew our minds, and how to practice new patterns to master the art of being unordinary.
