The Sermon on the Mount | Do Not Worry

As Christians, Jesus calls us in Matthew 6:25 to not worry about life. This at first, might seem like a platitude, but there are some spiritual implications involved when we worry. Pastor Chip explores Jesus’ words in the sermon on the mount regarding our circumstances and how we should control our thoughts, actions, and feelings. Concern is when we are in control of our thoughts and worrying is when the circumstances we are in control our thoughts. This may seem a subtle difference, but we learn that this shows distrust in the promises and power of God to be in control of our life.
When we don’t trust God, we are trying to take His place as Lord of our life. Luckily there are ways to combat worrying like through prayer and practicing trusting in God. Are you struggling with controlling your thoughts and worrying about circumstances in life? Do you need someone to pray with or answer questions about this week’s sermon?
