Preacher: Jeremy Herbert
Text: Philippians 4
Theme: Anxiety vs. Joy
Notes:
“Depression” seems an inadequate word to describe the sheer hopelessness that people often experience
Prayer helps guard our peace and joy.
Anxiety is a natural response to a broken, sin-cursed world
Anxiety:
- Nagging concerns in back of your mind (mild)
- Waking in middle of night (less mild)
- Debilitating panic attacks / physical weakness (severe)
There are some things that you just can’t physically prepare for.
- Matthew 6:25-34
- 1 Peter 5:7-11
- Philippians 4:4-9
- Reject worry
- Run to God in prayer
- Reap God’s promise of peace
Live It Out
- Write out your worry
- Write out what belongs to God
- Write out truth that speaks to your worry
- God’s care, control, character, commitment
- Write out what God has commanded you to do
