In this past week, the world came to a screeching halt. Many churches, ours included, were not only trying to figure out WHAT to communicate to their congregation, but even HOW to communicate to them.
In this first sermon streamed live online but to an empty room (save for 9 people), we look at how to trust God when facing uncertain times and wondering where tomorrow's needs will come from. How do we filter the news that is coming into our minds in a way that it is all being filtered through the Good New?
If you have been stressed, angry, frustrated, annoyed, fed up, irritated, anxious, or worried...if you're tired of all of this and find your blood pressure rising or mood lowering, this sermon is for you. All of us, to some degree, deal with these things on a daily basis. Our minds and hearts are infiltrated with thoughts and feelings that overwhelm us. There is a war going on inside of us, and it's the battle between peace and anxiety.
But God's Word gives us a great hope, as well as practical advice, on how to combat this and find freedom from it. We can find and have peace even amidst the chaos and confusion and uncertainty of life. We find this when we learn how to "rejoice in the Lord." We don't rejoice "in our circumstances," but we can rejoice THROUGH our circumstances if we learn how to rejoice "in the Lord" in the midst of our circumstances.
This sermon is for you.
