They were all astounded and perplexed, saying to one another, “What does this mean?”

Acts 2:36-37

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...

Part 2: Anchored in the Gospel

Verde Valley Christian Church Nov 3 – 10, 2024 Sermon Series: Anchored in Unchanging Truth Sermon Title:"Anchored in the Gospel" Presenter: Jim Hammond 1. The Gospel is POWERFUL Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile. Luke 24:45-49 Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. He told them, "This is what is written: The Messiah will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things. I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high." 2. We are called to be witnesses, not EXPERTS 1 John 1:1-3 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at...

That Convinced

Not Ashamed - 2 Timothy Series 2 Tim 3:10-14 2 Timothy 3:10-14 Easy-to-Read Version (ERV) Last Instructions 10 But you know all about me. You know what I teach and the way I live. You know my goal in life. You know my faith, my patience, and my love. You know that I never stop trying. 11 You know about my persecutions and my sufferings. You know all the things that happened to me in Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra—the persecution I suffered in those places. But the Lord saved me from all of it. 12 Everyone who wants to live showing true devotion to God in Christ Jesus will be persecuted. 13 People who are evil and cheat others will become worse and worse. They will fool others, but they will also be fooling themselves. 14 But you should continue following the teaching you learned. You know it is true, because you know you can trust those who taught you. Focus: The truly convinced know the cost and are willing to pay the price. What does it take to be THAT Convinced? ...
