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.

Pastor Jim discusses the difficulty of observing the Sabbath in a fast-paced culture, defining it as an "absence of expectation and striving." He explains that true rest is achieved by first remembering God's nature and His works, which include His steadfast love and faithfulness. This remembrance, he argues, leads to a soul at peace, enabling one to truly rest and find victory, flourishing, and contentment.

The sermon explores the tension between Christianity's exclusive claims about Jesus as the only way to salvation and the desire for inclusivity in a pluralistic world. Pastor Ryan concludes that the unique Christian doctrines of Jesus's divinity, resurrection, and salvation by grace promote true humility and inclusivity, encouraging believers to reflect Christ's love in a divided society.

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.

Christ’s unexpected arrival, foretold in Isaiah, brings a gospel-forward hope to a world in darkness. He is our Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace, who alone can bring light and lasting peace.

This sermon teaches that God, in His desire to be present with His people, instructed Moses to bless Israel, a blessing fulfilled when Jesus took our curse. Because all believers are now a royal priesthood, we have the authority to share this gospel by actively blessing our families and communities with God's peace and presence.

This sermon teaches that just as Jesus emptied Himself of heavenly glory for our sake, believers are called to empty themselves of "empty glory" like selfish ambition and pride. The message encourages us to seek to be filled not with the world's validation, but with God's glory and resurrected life, which is the only way to find true fulfillment and relational peace.

This sermon teaches that true peace isn't just an inner feeling but a relational reality found by laying down our selfish ambitions and embracing the encouragement and comfort we find in Christ. Because Jesus, our Prince of Peace, forgave our immense debt of sin, we are empowered to extend that same forgiveness to others, enabling us to become a people of peace.

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.
