Message Title: Do We Really Believe Jesus?
Message Text: Matthew 6:25-33
Message Truth: Joy is not a passing sensation of pleasure, but a pervasive sense of wellbeing.” Dallas Willard
Why We Worry?
1.Birds and Flowers – regular stuff- Jesus is not saying these are not important but they must not be ultimate.
2.Elusive Contentment – contentment involves living free from the lie that having more makes me more secure, safe and significant.
3.Fale Images of God – The image of God we have in our heads determine the degree of worry we feel in our souls.
What’s the Cure for Worry?
1.A Right Relationship with God
Close the Gap – there is a gap between where I am and where God is- following Jesus closes that gap
2.Persistent Prayer
Being less anxious is not knowing less, its knowing more.
3.Seeking THE Kingdom First – The Kingdom of God is wherever the things God wants done gets done.
Seeking the Kingdom is to have your entire value system transformed.
