The weight of "life" can get us down. Whether it is the stress of sour relationships, the demands of work, mounting bills, the ongoing guilt of past sins, or a hundred other possibilities, it can feel as if we have the weight of the world on our shoulders. The follower of Jesus will find much comfort in the fact that Jesus is our Mighty God (Isaiah 9:6). His strength and our trust in that strength can lighten our load more than we may realize.

All too often our prayer lives are stagnant. We know we should pray and pray much more often than we do. We are periodically plagued with guilt over what we know we should be doing and what we actually do.
Yet, we struggle to find the motivation to pray because we just don't see the results of answered prayer.
Jesus speaks to this "problem" in Matthew 7:7-12 when He tells us that persistence in prayer is absolutely essential. Among other things, this sermon will explain why persistence in prayer is so important to God.

While some people worry much more than others, we all suffer from this non-productive malady. Worry comes almost as naturally to us as breathing.
Whether we are concerned about more bills than money at the end of the month, or a wayward child, or the plight of a very sick loved one, or a ferocious dog that is racing toward us - all of us struggle with worry.
Fortunately, Jesus has spoken clearly about this issue. In Matthew 6:25-34, He exposes worry for what it is and the flawed thinking behind it. He further shows us a better way that would work toward our good and God's glory. This sermon focuses on Jesus' words on this matter.
