Grant Troutt preaches on Jesus' command in Matthew 6:25-34 to stop living in anxiety and to reorient our focus from self to God. He shares his personal struggle with panic disorder to illustrate how worry can cripple life and ministry, then explains that worry is ultimately a form of unbelief and misplaced worship. Using Jesus' illustrations of birds and flowers, Grant emphasizes God's daily provision and invites listeners to remember God's character and past faithfulness. The practical weapon against worry is to 'seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness' - pursue holiness and worship, then cast today's burdens on Jesus rather than carrying tomorrow's troubles.
“Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow for tomorrow will be anxious for itself sufficient is the day for its own trouble” · Grant Troutt
Take it with you
When anxiety arises, remind yourself of God's character and past faithfulness and intentionally 'cast' the worry to Jesus in prayer. Make seeking God's kingdom and righteousness your primary aim - practical faith (daily yeses) displaces anxious control. Use worship (honest, not performative) as a spiritual practice to bring cares into God's presence and refuse to carry tomorrow's burdens today.

Why'd You Build It Like That? - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin finishes the series on the Sermon on the Mount by preaching from Matthew 7:21-27 about two builders - one who builds on rock (Jesus) and one who builds on sand. His main argument is that hearing Jesus' words is not enough; obedience and applying Scripture are what create a firm, storm‑proof foundation.
The Slippery Slope of Sin - Harrison Conley
Harrison Conley uses David’s fall (2 Samuel 11-12) to show how big moral failures usually grow out of small, unguarded compromises. He traces David’s descent as a sequence of small steps (stayed, saw, sent, slept, schemed, sorrowed), arguing that isolation, boredom, and unchecked thoughts open the door to sin.
Don't Judge Me - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin examines Matthew 7:1 in context and argues Jesus is not prohibiting all judgment but calling for right judgment. He explains that biblical judgment requires first examining your own sin, acting from humility, and aiming to help restore others.
