Noah Herrin preaches from Philippians 4 urging the church to make gratitude a regular habit - what he calls "throw the confetti." Using Paul's command to "rejoice in the Lord always," he argues that joy is found in the presence of God, not in circumstances, and that thanksgiving in prayer displaces anxiety. Herrin illustrates the habit with personal stories (his wife's daily reminder to "throw confetti," an airport delay danced through, and his own mental-health practices) and practical gospel theology (Paul writing from prison). He closes by calling the church to celebrate repentant people like the father in the prodigal son - pick up confetti, not stones.
“Reading Philippians 4: "Rejoice in the Lord always... do not be anxious about anything but in every situation by prayer and petition with Thanksgiving present your request to God."” · Noah Herrin
Take it with you
Make gratitude a daily habit: set a simple reminder (like the speaker's wife) and practice thanksgiving in prayer when you feel anxious. Do a daily thought-audit (What am I feeling vs. what do I know?) and take negative thoughts captive to Christ. Celebrate others' return and repentance - be a confetti-thrower, not a stone-thrower.

How to Overcome Anxious Thoughts | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from Hebrews 13:7-9 to show that anxious, negative thoughts can be changed by reorienting our thinking toward the consistent, gracious character of God. He argues that Christians often fill unknowns with worst-case scenarios, consume content that trains cynicism, and let inconsistent human leaders or past experiences dictate their view of God.
Wake Up | Noah Herrin at WAY REVIVAL '26
Noah Herrin preaches from Matthew 26 (with other biblical references) calling Christians to "wake up" spiritually. He centers on Jesus in Gethsemane and the jarring detail that the disciples fell asleep when asked to keep watch, drawing three main reasons for their sleep: they got comfortable with God's presence, casual with holiness, and careless with their time.
God Loves Your Enemy | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from Luke 19 using the story of Zacchaeus to call Christians out of secrecy and into mission. He contrasts a "secret agent" faith with the biblical mandate to be visible witnesses, grounding that in Matthew 5, Matthew 28 and Acts 1.
