Sermon Series: Missing PEACE
Sermon Title: "Heal My Anxious Mind"
Speaker: Andrew Webb

Matthew 14:22
Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd.

Matthew 14:23
After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. Later that night, he was there alone,

Matthew 14:24
and the boat was already a considerable distance from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it.

Matthew 14:25
Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake.

Matthew 14:26
When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. "It's a ghost," they said, and cried out in fear.

Matthew 14:27
But Jesus immediately said to them: "Take courage! It is I. Don't be afraid."

Matthew 14:28
"Lord, if it's you," Peter replied, "tell me to come to you on the water."

Matthew 14:29
"Come," he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus.

Matthew 14:30
But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, "Lord, save me!"

Matthew 14:31
Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. "You of little faith," he said, "why did you doubt?"

Matthew 14:32
And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down.

Matthew 14:33
Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, "Truly you are the Son of God."

Gratitude is the Antidote to Anxiety

Gratitude is the Antidote to Anxiety MARCH 30, 2025 WEEK 4 _______________ Philippians 4:4-8 (NIV) > 4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things. 1. The state of Gratitude and Anxiety cannot coexist in the mind. Psalms 100:4 (NIV) > 4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. Psalms 136:1 (NIV) > 1 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good. His love endures forever. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 (NIV...

SHINE - Part 1: Why Do We Hide Our Light?

Verde Valley Christian Church Jul 7 – 14, 2024 Sermon Series: SHINE! Sermon Title: "Why Do We Hide Our Light?" Presenter: Jim Hammond Matthew 5:14-16 "You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. 1. Don't shine with SELF-CONFIDENCE 2. Shine by RELYING on God John 5:19 Jesus gave them this answer: "Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does. John 5:30 By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me. 3.
