Fear & Anxiety
Why You Care What People Think | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches on the problem of the fear of man, arguing that it keeps Christians from living an "Only God" life by letting others' opinions drive decisions. Using Matthew 10 as his primary text, he gives three reasons not to fear people: God has the final word, people can at most kill the body but not the soul, and you are deeply valued by the Father.
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.
Why Am I Anxious? | Noah Herrin
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.
The War Against Worry - Grant Troutt
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.
Something Is Missing - Noah Herrin
Noah argues that when the right thing - Jesus and His rhythms - is missing from our lives, everything else can feel wrong and leave us anxious. He uses 1 Peter 5:7 and Matthew 11:28 to show that we must first believe Jesus truly cares, then live at the pace Jesus modeled, and actively 'catch' anxious thoughts so we can 'cast' them onto Him.
Fear's Greatest Hit - Brad Straarup
Brad Straarup preaches from Daniel 3 about how Christians should respond to fear. He identifies fear's most effective blow as the 'what if' - a hypothetical that keeps us from stepping into what God calls us to.
Throw The Confetti - Noah Herrin
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).
