This weekend

15 Feb

I had the honor of speaking this weekend at NorthwayChurch and it was phenomenal.  I don’t mean my talk but about the way God used the message.  See, I had the opportunity to talk about something that affects us all.  What did I talk about?  Worry.  WORRY WILL KILL YOU!   Has there ever been a time when we’ve had more things to worry about?

Here’s what I learned as I prepared for this weekend:  

  • We all need to hear about what worry will do to us.
  • Worry is a sin.  If you have faith in God, why would you be worrying?(Romans 14:23)
  • It’s probably a sin to worry about how well-received the message will be when you’re teaching on worry. :)

How do we break free from worry?  Here’s what I learned:

  1. I will do what God asks me to do
  2. I will give God what I cannot do
  3. No matter what, I will trust God

It’s not easy but God never designed us to worry.  He made us to worship him and to have faith that he wants what’s best for us.

What do you worry about?

    Family, mostly. A good friend told me a long time ago that worry was a waste. If you can do something about what’s happening, then do it! If you can’t do anything about it, then there’s no point in worrying. You, Nate, just added God to the equation. Great message! Tell your boss you should speak more often.
