Sermons About Anxious
A Vision For Serving Our God
Distracting Ourselves with Service: A Call to Know the God We Are Serving If you look at Luke 10:40, there is a remarkable statement. Luke says that Martha was distracted by much service. Of course the service he was talking about was her serving Jesus. Does this shock you? Did you know that serving God could actually be a distraction, not a good thing? Most of us feel like serving God is always a good thing don't we? But then we sometimes wonder why serving God makes us so anxious, self-righteous, or tired. Today I want to talk about when service becomes a distraction and how we can learn to serve God in a way that encourages us and draws us toward him, instead of distracting us from him and leaving us feeling frustrated, tired and confused.

When I Learn The Secret!
The secret of contentment is not circumstantial, it is always available! The secret of contentment is not natural, it has to be learned!

What would Jesus say when the TSX drops 500 points?
The launching pad for this Sunday's sermon will be a reminder that this world is fragile and broken, filled with people who do good and others who do bad. From time to time greed and selfishness has the final word and the world aches and groans from the pain inflicted. This is our reality until Christ returns. The good news is that the world is not our "home".

I Can Do All Things Through Christ Who Gives Me Strength
When Paul says he can do everything, he is referring to his ability to exit in all types of material circumstances – wealth or poverty, abundant food or no food, and so forth. The source of Paul’s ability to exist successfully in all circumstances is his union with Christ. This is Paul’s secret. Paul tells the Philippians not to be anxious, that is “stop worrying.†To worry is to display a lack of confidence in God’s care and in God’s control over the situation. Paul uses three synonyms in a row (prayer, petition, requests) to describe the alternative to anxiety. Instead of worrying, a person ought to converse with directly with God and lay out before Him all that is on one’s mind, confident that God will hear and respond. The result will be that God will meet all our needs.

Christmas Comfort
Scrooge was shown his future – he was to die alone and sad, and fearful, but here Isaiah gives us a glimpse of true comfort: because Jesus triumphed over the grave, our future as a broken community is to rise on eagle’s wings!Isn’t it comforting that history ends with this picture – a picture of one of the most tender things one person can do for another, which is to gently touch their cheek and dry their tears? You have to be in intimate relationship with someone to do that don’t you? And you see what we’re shown in Scripture at the end of Revelation is that Jesus Himself will come to you, and with the very hands that were pierced with wounds of love for you, will brush away your final tears, which are precious to him, and will store them away in his bottle with all the rest that you cry right now. Then, you will know joy, and it will be a greater joy than Scrooge even knew on Christmas morning.
