Questions Jesus Asked, Part 2.
Worry, anxiousness, and fear often consume our hearts and minds. Worry drives people to make foolish decisions in relationships, parenting, and business decisions every day! In Matthew 6 Jesus asks us, Why do you worry? Jesus teaches us to counter worry with faith. Why? Because when we understand two things: 1) God’s power, and 2) the incredible value we have in Christ – we will be free from the bondage of fear/worry. Understanding these two truths will equip us to live the abundant life God has planned for us. Enjoy this powerful message from Pastor David Menard as he addresses worry via: The Questions Jesus Asked.
