The Sermon on the Mount contains some of Jesus' most famous teachings. We explore what Jesus says about trust, hope, and anxiety. We learn why Jesus commands us to "not be anxious" and how to trust in a Heavenly Father who cares deeply for us. Together, we dive deep into the "rocking chair" of worry, addressing the unique mental health challenges faced by kids and adults alike in our hyper-connected world. By shifting our focus from perfectionism and control to seeking God’s kingdom first, we can find a peace that transcends all understanding. Join us to learn practical, spiritual ways to give your anxieties to Him and rest in the security of God’s sovereign care. Speaker: Greg Holder
