Anxiety & Worry

Find a sermon associated with this topic below.

The sermon focuses on overcoming worry and anxiety through three key principles: worry about nothing, think about good things, and pray about all things. Pastor Ryn emphasizes that true peace comes from focusing on the cross of Christ, as God's sacrifice of His Son demonstrates His care and provision for all our needs.

This sermon teaches that worry is a spiritual bondage rooted in our sinful desire to control a future that only God holds. We can find freedom from worry by staring at God’s grace and surrendering our lives to the One who sacrificed everything for us.

This sermon teaches that anxiety, though a real struggle in a world filled with sin and chaos, does not have the final say over a believer's life. Like Elisha's servant, we can find true peace by shifting our perspective to see that God's protective presence is always greater than the things that cause us to worry.

This sermon confronts the crippling nature of worry, arguing that it can only be overcome not by human effort, but by the supernatural "peace of God," which guards our hearts and minds. This peace is a fruit of the gospel, cultivated by actively thinking on God's truth, thanking Him in advance for His sovereignty, and loving Jesus who has already borne the weight of our sin and worry on the cross.

This sermon, drawing from James 4, encourages Christians to trust in God's omnipresence and sovereignty during uncertain times, rather than succumbing to worry and the human need for control. The message highlights that a believer's assurance and peace are rooted in remembering God's grace and promises, which were secured by Jesus' sacrifice.

 

This sermon uses the Israelites' constant grumbling for food in Exodus as a metaphor for the "soulish hunger" people have for belonging and security, even in times of plenty. It points to Jesus Christ as the true "bread of life," who satisfies our deepest, eternal hunger and frees us from a life of fear-driven striving by offering Himself as the ultimate provision.

This sermon, using the story of Jonah, argues that true freedom from fear is not found in religious rituals but in sacrificial love, which is fully demonstrated in Christ's ultimate sacrifice. It encourages listeners to move past a conditional "if" relationship with God and to find security and peace in His unconditional love, trusting that life's storms are not for punishment but for redemption.
