Noah Herrin preaches from John 14 to answer why Christians are often anxious. He explains Jesus' opening command, “Don't let your hearts be troubled,” and argues that persistent anxiety is inconsistent with trusting Christ. Herrin emphasizes trust as demonstrable action (not just belief), staying in God's presence for joy, and the promise that Jesus prepares a real place (heaven) and sends the Holy Spirit to dwell in believers. He warns against reducing Jesus to a means to personal goals and calls listeners to practical trust - prayer, Scripture, giving, and persevering for the ‘one more’ who needs the gospel.
“"There is more than enough room in my Father's home... there are many rooms in his house" (Jesus prepares a place; keep praying for the one more)” · Noah Herrin
Take it with you
When anxiety appears, identify the specific area you aren't trusting God with and take a concrete action of trust (pray, surrender plans, give, keep praying for the lost). Prioritize staying in God's presence daily - regular Scripture reading and prayer - not just occasional talks or sermons. Remember the promise of the Spirit dwelling in believers and that Jesus prepared a real place for us, which reframes earthly worries.

When You Let Down the People You Love Most | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from John 21 about how followers of Jesus should respond to failure. Using Peter's return to fishing as the backdrop, he argues that the common responses - retreating, trying to earn back trust, or simply returning to what’s comfortable - are insufficient.
How to Get Debt Free | Grant Troutt
Grant Troutt preached from John 18, showing three pictures of Jesus at the garden arrest: Jesus the Lamb, the Lion, and the Lover. He uses the geography of the Kidron brook and the olive press to explain Jesus’ willing, atoning death (the Lamb), then shows Jesus’ sovereign authority when he says “I am” and the armed men fall (the Lion).
How to Lead People to Christ | Grant Skeldon
Grant Skeldon preaches from John 9 about evangelism, reframing it as more than simply moving someone from 'lost' to 'saved.' He uses the Engel scale idea to show there are many stages on someone's journey to God and argues that any movement closer to Christ is evangelism - planting, watering, or witnessing are all part of God's work. Skeldon encourages practical hospitality, sharing testimony, praying for people, and letting new believers speak about what God has done for them.
