We all worry about the future — retirement, the stock market, whether Social Security will hold up. In this message, Pastor Kurt Trucksess turns to Matthew 6:25-34, where Jesus commands us three times not to be anxious. From Y2K bunkers to today's doomsday prophets on YouTube, the world has always profited off fear about tomorrow — but Jesus calls his followers to live differently. Using the birds of the air and the lilies of the field, Jesus shows that if God provides for creatures who neither store up nor labor for tomorrow, he will surely provide for us. You'll discover three reasons worry has no place in the Christian life: we have a heavenly Father who knows what we need, worry itself is a failure of faith, and each day already carries enough trouble of its own. If anxiety about the future has a grip on you, this message points you back to the God who holds it.
