Well, if you have a Bible you can open up to Matthew chapter 6 for every second you're still talking. I'm going to tack on 3 minutes for every second. You're talkin. I get an extra 3 minutes. So, you know, what do what you want. I'm in a good mood my trivia team only for strong this last week. We took first no big deal so carried me through looking at girl. It's over. All right, we had some fun this week. All right, here. We are in Matthew chapter 6. I'm going to pray and get this rolling father. We thank you so much for your word true and it sure. You are a firm foundation and you are our hope and we can rest in you and trust in you the prison wrestle with this text today that you would cause our hearts to Delight in you every not fear that we would not fret that we do not overcome with worry. But through what you want to teach and Sharon our lives there be a acetylene and a calmness in each and every one of us. So we thank you for this time to gather to learn to grow in the scriptures with one another in Jesus name. Amen. Amen. We're coming this morning to a portion of Jesus's Sermon on the Mount that can be absolutely liberating and encouraging or to be honest out early flooring. Often used in a way kind of how we Christian sometimes use the term Christian. He's you know, the stuff Christians say that and I was a little awkward or or at the wrong moment and we're in this text that can be one of those portions. In which we could consider it the hard sayings of Jesus and when I say it's a hard saying of Jesus here this morning. It's not a hard saying of Jesus because we can't comprehend what Jesus wants to teach to us. It's not like one of those passages where he's looking at the crowds and he says, you know what it's easier. For this camel to enter through the eye of a needle and it is for a rich man to enter Heaven already kind of goes.

Not confusing sex section of scripture are highly use of metaphors. But it's one to be quite honest that we don't really believe ourselves. And if somebody tells us they believe it we certainly do not believe them. We're going to look at them and go. Yeah, right, how how can you really take that for what it's worth and so as we look at this section of scripture, I want us to be able to take a deep breath to consider what it means in context of what Jesus is talking about and then to rightly apply it to our hearts and lies very famous very familiar and you can look at verse 8 Do not lay up for yourselves Treasures on Earth where moth and rust destroy the thieves break in and steal but lay up for yourselves Treasures in Heaven where neither moth nor rust destroy received you not break in and steal where your treasure is there. Your heart will be also the eye is the lamp of the body. So if your eyes healthy your whole body will be full of light. But if your eye is bad your whole body will be full of Darkness if then the light in you is Darkness How great is the darkness? No one can serve two masters for either. He will hate the one and love the other or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other you cannot serve God and money and so the crowds would be sharing this bid on the edge of your seat listening to Jesus and then he says this therefore I tell you Do not be anxious about your life, but you'll eat what you will drink nor about your body. What you'll put on is not life more than food in the body more than clothing. Look at the birds of the air. They neither sow nor reap nor Gathering to Barnes and yet your heavenly father feeds them. You're not more valued are you not have more value than that? And which of you being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? And why are you anxious about clothing consider the lilies of the field? Are they grow? They neither toil nor spin. Did I tell you even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these but if God so close the grass of the field should they has a live tomorrow is thrown into the oven really not much more clothes you oh you of little faith. Therefore is the command Do not be anxious saying what shall we eat? What shall we drink? What shall we wear for the Gentiles seek after these things and your heavenly father knows that you need them all but seek the kingdom of God seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things will be added to you. Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow for tomorrow be anxious for itself sufficient for the day is its own trouble. The first thing I want to do before we get into this text may be a little bit more detail is too considerate and its entirety. Jesus has gathered a crowd of people to do what were told. I believe in Luke the mount. Avera from all sorts of regions and areas have been drawn to hear the teaching of Jesus one in which we had our friend Russo up here a couple of months back and he quoted verbatim takes about 15 minutes as he walked us through it during the sermon that Jesus is giving no doubt there would have been people sitting in the crowd going. Yep. Amen. That'll preach that's good. That's great. We like that and then Jesus first to get into some really difficult things things. Like hey, if somebody slaps you in the face give him the other cheek. That are some homes. There is no way a man for height. Or if your stranger asked you to go one mile with him go to Miles and if he asked you for your tunic your coat go ahead and give it to him. Are you sure Jesus and you need to love your enemies and care for those who are down and out and be generous and they're all the same that against you preached and teached to these followers that have gathered to him and you can get to this moment leading up to what we just read and in that grout grout crowd there would have been some apprehension. I can see it now some people going okay Jesus if I do that if I give to those who big of me I will I eat. if I share all the clothes that I have what will I wear my future if I truly live out this radical kind of love that you're calling me to what I be impoverished what I lose everything when I be taken advantage of what up, my guy wants my needs my problems and you can only imagine how this big it would have been a very large amount of people come to 5th graders with their hands at half raised then get some bucks for me cuz I'm really generous and I'm teaching and they just want to answer everything or wait, but and they have objections to every single thing that's being said and I'm going to be sitting there thinking. What is this really mean for us and Jesus being his masterful teacher begins to answer them before they even have opportunity to ask him. What Jesus does if he does not teach a poverty gospel one in which says getting rid of everything is Next to Godliness though. You can't put it past Jesus to ask that of some as we even see in the scriptures nor was he teaching any sensitive Prosperity Gospel? That's Godliness, and well, they go hand-in-hand the wealthy. Argali The Godly are wealthy and that's a sure sign of God's approval on your life. What he's talking to the crowd about is our priority. Talking about our priority what we value what we desire and whatever your priority is, whatever you value whatever you desire is directly related to your anxiety and you're worried. Morning, think about it. What made you worry this week? Honestly, what cause you to lose sleep what made you anxious Jesus list in versus 8 19 through 24 three things. He says your treasure essentially the physical material money. not having it having it not wanting to lose it that will cause you to worry what you set your eyes on maybe it's power influence, but I need to have this in order to be somebody for what you desire good health Comfort children marriage and consume our thoughts consume our lives and causes to be anxious and to worry and fret about and the problem that we see this morning is not I think rightly ordered priorities but disordered priorities the consumed our thoughts about of Jesus never says finances. Jesus never says that children or marriage or singleness, but those are things that are good things in and out of themselves when they become the ultimate things that consume us, we have them out of order disordered and in that moment, we began to fret and worry when those things are at that harm risk being taken from us to look at. Problem. We live in an anxious world going. I'm too anxious people all the time cuz it's false narrative that's going on. And in the west it's this there's been this face in the west that progressiveness move forward advancements in the world is going to bring in Utopia for each and every one of us. It's that history is moving towards some kind of golden future for us all this morning. That's the promise of the West has been built a pond and in one cent technologically maybe even wealth. We seen the West excel in these areas even causing some areas. He's in our lives we can get more done quicker with the use of Technology.

And we've seen how prosperity in our culture has caused some to definitely kick back and enjoy be progressed in that way. But the West is regressing relationally and emotionally. Be sure that you think about the West it is regressing emotionally. My wife and I were watching something on Netflix last night and this person was talking about dating. Is there some kind of TV show something that you know, it's not in that in the Christian world in the Christian realm and the comment this move is basins. The 2003 was dating today is so different you break up in emails and text you don't have to do things face to face any more emotionally regressed in a conversation. We can't look at one another and what this has done in our culture has created a tension in a high level of anxiety for each and everyone of us. The myth of progress is creating disruption in our culture not specifically this morning because Jesus is talking about don't be anxious and anxiety. Stats are fine with Ruff you out over 40 million Americans. wrestle with anxiety it was something like two hundred and thirteen million people in the world have anxiety issues that is only including those who are seeing somebody for being counted for in 2020 for a year for surveys in 2020 62% of respondents reported experiencing some degree of anxiety or another 62% means in this room is about a hundred of us 62 of us would report wrestling with anxiety fear and anxiety is not some small grouping that shoved off into the corner where they're just expressing their own little weird world and their weird thing. It is something that has over taken our culture that whole a large now. Because it is a safe place and I know you won't judge me. 4 years ago, I've been going through just some things and feeling stress and pressure and one night. I just stopped completely incapacitated couldn't move laying on the floor in my wife's like now, will you go to the doctor? That's what it took to the doctor and your Healthy man. You're like 35 or nothing wrong with you. You're okay. Great, See what I told. You hun? I Don't Need a Doctor need to get through my problems. Well, some other stuff happened in our lives crazy stuff, you know, like sure the few before my wife had a miscarriage almost lost her life just did some other things as well. We're piling up and I can remember going for these drives. I talked with him or come back and find Joseph for some friends houses at a friend's house and I couldn't breathe. I just was feeling of swelling up in my heart and I don't look at my wife. I just keep a straight face and I keep driving and I plow through it and get home and go that's weird it happen again and again in again Monday 9:30 in the morning at already had three meetings that morning. That's a lot for 9:30 in the morning already dealt with some things and hopped in my truck and during that time is also trying to intermittent fast and do some health things as well and it had too much coffee that morning and I got in my truck and I went car and I literally had that thought as I was pulling out and I begin to feel my heart pump and then my heart stopped. What is do I drive a little bit cuz I'm smart and I continue to feel that feeling and I grabbed my phone and my wife has all the kid and she's down in band. She doing some grocery shopping and I'm going to call my wife but I accidentally FaceTime her can't make this up and and I see her on the phone and I'm like, I'm like two miles from the hospital. And I think I'm having a heart attack and I'm dying all the kids lyrics she hears. That's right. She sees my face. It's ghost wide. What are you doing? What are you doing? I'm driving to the hospital. I'm going to get there. I'm really really close. So I pull into where that little round areas and I park my car all wonky and listen to Maddock. Sometimes you wouldn't know it and I walk into those doors and they part for me and I throw myself on the floor in the waiting room like this and they said sir. What are you doing? I'm dying. That's why I'm here.

So you have to get up I'm dying. I cannot get up. You're arguing with us. You have to get up. You can talk your fine. This went on for a good like 2 minutes. I'm in the middle of the floor. People are walking around me and I like somebody get this guy to give me a wheelchair and I'm feeling a little bit better cuz I'm somewhere safe at this time and they take my blood pressure which happened to be 60 over 30. Did you drive here? Yes, you are an idiot didn't say that they wanted to what were you doing? How'd you even get here? If you're 60 over 30 now, what were you and they took know whatever the heart scan is and did all that stuff and then handed me to got probably a stack of half a million of these packets on panic attacks anxiety disorders and problems. That was just humiliated like, oh my goodness. How did this happen? How did I get here? What's going on? I sure all this this morning with you. How to find second look back on it now and joke and laugh, but in all seriousness, I'm not speaking out of my inexperience, but my experience I'm not speaking out of a position that hasn't been humbled by this myself. This morning as we approach Jesus's words. He says why are you anxious? This quote comes from Sarah Young. And she wrote this anxiety is picturing a future without Jesus. Free Christian of me to say that but you're at church so welcome to church. Anxiety is picturing a future without Jesus. Now when I think about this I think about it and she weighs first way is is picturing a future future. You know that future that one day when you pass you'll be with him what picture in one that future without Jesus that will drive you insane into be anxious. We also talked about the here and the now and it's even picturing a future here. And now without Jesus walking through walking with us in the midst of whatever it is that we are going through As a follower of Jesus there wasn't one time in the last 10 years or I woke up and imagined my life without Jesus. This is not some intentional cognizant motive that I had deep inside of me that I thought. Oh, no. Jesus is not with me, but over time slowly as fear as worried as struggled as bills and all the rest for you to come into my life. I begin to think how are we going to make it? Where are you in the midst of this God? Deep down knowing surely. God is good. But feeling more like the first I don't know 22 verses of what Joel read this morning that was depressing. It took all the way through. Verse 23 for things to actually change for Jeremiah as he is lamenting. And it went happens for us so we can just picture this life without Jesus worry anxiety. They have an undertone. They have a murmur. On some level that says Jesus you're not all that is in fact. And money my health my children. my job that priorities way up here and if that's taken from me, who am I? Who am I? Graduation picture our future with Jesus we can then rightly order our lives that says even if this is taken from me, even if this happened I still have footing I still have a firm foundation. I still have a rock on which I stand that is that Jesus is with me that God is good that he is faithful and I can begin to look at my life under a different land and contact Sports happen. If we as a people had developed a short-sightedness in our lives that simply cease the here and now and what's before I come or maybe one or two days forward and we are not able to hold his granddaughter picture. I'm not on the eternity but next year or five years from now that you were with me, then you're with me now and you'll be with me in the future. Christians we are suffering. We are regressing as we begin to absorb what's going on in the world around us. Thinking consumerism is going to say this technology is going to save us wealth is going to save us when in fact only she is us us and we have a problem going on the causes of two picture of Jesus with future. Create an anxiety issue with an each and every one of us. How did it get this way? Jesus saying you are worrying because now here's why two reasons rooted in the scriptures you worry because you want the control that God. Take to the bank write it down. You worry because you are not thoughtful about God's care for your life. My man at wash. Yes you yes me I'm not thoughtful about God Care by Jesus is going to make two arguments here this morning that we can take to the bank. We can cash this check and we can believe trust in Reston, but I got to tell you something. It's annoying. It's hard kind of like when that Christian comes up to you is because Christian is I don't worry is going to work out for good to all those who love God and are called according to his purpose or feel like an illusion logo Genesis 50 what God intended for evil or she's all you intended for evil brother's God can work for good. What's up? Shut up right now.

I want to hear that I know that but I don't want to hear that right now. I want to I want to soak a little bit. I want to feel a little bit. I want to weep a little honesty and that we should be allowed to do that a little bit. Okay, I need you to hear that this morning is not being sensitive to that but we can't fully push out the truth. And the reality is actually spoken in the scripture. If you look carefully at what we just read this morning cuz it's fine. If you look carefully in a very general way when turning right there. He's saying the source of anxiety is the human will to power. The source of anxiety is the human will to power the Bible tells us in the Book of Genesis early on that God create and he makes and we have talked about this so much at redeemers were under God, but over creation that's the place that were to be in you were made to rule you were made to reign of Queen over all of creation to rule over everything except God himself. But what did Adam and Eve do they said we want more we want more power. We want more independent. We want more of our abilities and in doing so we actually become less trying to be more human would become less human kids. We said we want the power. We want the control. In the story of Genesis is the reality for each and everyone of us till today. I can't trust you God. I have to trust in myself respond for the same heater control that comes because were built to be kings were built to be queens were built for Glory but we respond just like them and we said no, but I want it my way and on my terms. This is a really interesting quotes. And I thought it would have a Keller's books, but it's by Reinhold Newburgh. I said his name right fascinating statements about the relationship of theology to psychology. He says the school of modern psychology regards the will to power as the most dominant of human motives has not yet recognized how basically related to insecurity or basically anxiety. The human ego does not feel secure and therefore grass for more power in order to make it self secure. So when you're insecure and you want to be secure, what what are you do you grass for power you want more power to make yourself feel more secure. It does not regard itself as sufficiently significant or respected and seeks to enhance its position in the world. I'm Pratt like layman's terms. What does that mean for insecure because we want power and we want control but the more we want Power the more we see control of Our Lives the more resistant. We have for God because he is the one who is in fact in control of everything. Tower of Power

personally, I've done my best to create a world which I have control like this is me speaking and maybe you can relate I live in a pretty safe neighborhood. Very one of my vehicles in 95 F150 its deal man you hit that with your Prius. Good night, okay. So we've got a lot of things and checks and balances with our children and what we allow them to watch and not watch and we have all of this sense of security that I don't talk and I really trusted in it.

Really trusted and how distant illusion that everything is just fine and safe. That's all it is an illusion. We've all had an illusion. Everything is just fine. Everything is just safe. And we built these worlds around us in which our world can't be cracked. But in fact you have to look at the one who actually holds it up. Jesus doesn't respect Who You by worrying can add a single hour to your life. And that's what every human wants to do. We want to add time to our life. We want to add more moments to her life and want to add more security to our life crossword of in this Rat Race that participate in that we want the power God house. But here's the question who's been keeping your life going all these years anyways. Not you. Not you. The number of us Quest stories that say we should have died. My parents are in here, but going a hundred down. Rossanley WOD kid climbed out the sunroof window.

Something bad should have happened. Luckily. It didn't. I cleaned it. And so we have this illusion another way when the doctor comes in with bad news or the boss comes in with bad news. Suddenly. We get anxious. Why because now we feel out of control. It's the threat that reveals the illusion that we've been living all these years the illusion that were in control.

Jesus can I see something really hard this morning a message been really hard this morning. You need to first and foremost wrestle with the idea that you are not in control. You're not in control. The danger that is all around it triggers. The anxiety anxiety is essentially showing up in this new precarious condition, but the deepest level is showing what you knew all along that you are not in control and we're anxious. Here's why because we disbelieve and just like the fact that were totally dependent on the supporting power of God. Siri dating, self-made man. I'm a self-made woman independent. That's who I am in Jesus and hold up to consider some things and what do we do about this? Can you trust God to run your life? Can you trust God to run your life first argument? Jesus makes is the birds of the air and he says go to the word and see that God is in charge. You should consider the birds God's in charge of them. God gives them what they had need of you. You don't have even the ability to add one minute to your life. God has all the power God is in control. God is a god of Providence. Do you know how to use that argument though on your heart? That's the tricky thing when you get in to look at the circumstances in the stuff that's happening to us or which wasn't happening to us. Are you able to stay in that moment? I know that God is with me and he knows of what I have need of before I even knew that I had need of it, but he's able to care for me.

An argument with him that if I'm really going to entrust my life to God give myself to him in that way. What if he asks of me something that I don't like or want? Do you have a king but I never asked of you something. You have not wanted you do not have a king. You are the king you are the queen. But we have a king that says can you trust me but you might suffer. Can you trust me that there might be pain? Can you trust me that I know what's best for you at the end of the day and it may not feel like it right now and in this moment, but I have a purpose. I have a plant. I have an ability that as you go through this just like Joseph what your brother's intended for evil and they did intend that for evil and God did not stop. It's too loud for that to take place. I am going to work for your good and enjoys his case. It wasn't just his good for the good of the entire family. How many years would that take? 1520 goodness, how many of you have actually had the patience to wait on God that amount of time in a faithful manner. What's so short fuse and have very little patience when it comes to God wanting to work in our lives saying you're not in control. You don't have this handled in my freaking out down here. Hi, you're not able to save your wise enough. You're smart enough. Why is King when his wisdom had a plan for our Redemption? That he would be crucified for us, but they're more like I'm pretty sure you don't know how to get me through my week. How do you feel about that? Can you trust him Travis anxiety issue? Because we actually look at God and we say I don't know if I trust you today God with my day-to-day life. We're looking to work on the start and just a second. I'm going to take my shower time. The grass the field argument. This is the care Factor. A difficulty of believing God in his character know this is not a new argument. I'm going to use on you guys and something that I talked about often Constance and what you think about this most of our problems with God if you're not a Christian in here most of your problems with God or not intellectual problems with their emotional problems. Their problems up. Where was he when I was in me. Where was he when I was suffering. Where was he when I had problems does does God care for me. Does he know that I exist and if so, why is he not stepped into my circumstance step into my situation redeemed and rescued me out of this present trouble. Where are you God and we accuse God constantly of the scare Factor saying God obviously does not care about me or my circumstances because there's been too many silent nights and not the Christmas kind with the bad kind where my pillow is wet with my tears of pain and suffering and joylessness because you have not shown up God. 99% of us have experienced those kinds of moments. Where is your care? Angie Springs in this care argument and a little bit of apprehension towards it. What are you talkin about the care of God? Can I trust you God to care for me that I really take you at your word that you were going to watch over me, but you have love towards me that you hear me see me, but you know me Jesus says you're anxious this morning because you're not thinking. And I'm thinking about God's care for you. This is absolutely critical because faith in Jesus faith in God so idea faith is not the absence of thinking. It's just you idiot Christians. Your minds are just so empty and filling it with this garbage. I do actually face says I want you to think I want you to think about the Providence got scare God's faithfulness God's love Faith is thinking anxiety is the absence of thinking Anxiety is the absence of thinking fear and distress why when you're sitting and listening to your heart run off to the mouth. That's what makes you feel scared when your heart starts to ramble. It just react to situations. That's when you're not thinking.

When 6 weeks ago, your laundry room is flooding with water and you go to the fight-or-flight and you freaked out in the world's coming to an end and all the vacation money is going to be gone. It's not not even close right and you just freaked out.

Heart takes over and I'm not thinking but what are we to do? I'm going to say something that may seem a little weird at first. Stop letting your heart talk and start talking to your heart. Stop letting your heart talk your feelings as Michael talked about and if we prayed about in our pre Gathering prayer their feelings that are so up and down and emotional. Why do we have these and why is it like this or heart wants to always tell it costs or something is constantly freaking out our heart lives in a world of chaos start talking to your heart not listening to your heart think before you speak and then speak to your heart. Do I do that? When we think that God doesn't have our best interest in mind cuz not going how I want. We actually have to think how is got operated in the past not to leave my life in the history of scripture in the history of humanity house. God cared for and treated those people in Lost he cares because rescued his redeemed instead of listening to your heart start talking to it and see if God begins to deal with anxiety. Free look at the facts of his faithfulness in our lives. What does it look? Like? I just want to give you guys an example real practical if you want. You can flip over to Psalm 55.

Psalm 55 this to you it says in verse one give ear to my prayer. Oh God had not yourself for my plea for Mercy attend to me answer me. I'm Restless in my complaint. I'm owned. How's he doing? How's it going bad? Okay, I'm moaning and complaining. I'm in trouble. I'm having a hard time sounds like The Human Experience tending me God because of the noise of the enemy because of the oppression of the wicked for they drop trouble upon me and in Anger they bear a grudge against me. My heart is in anguish within me the Terrors of death have fallen upon me fear and trembling come upon me horror overwhelms me and I say, oh that I had wings like a dove I would fly away and be at rest. He is not at fight. He is at lights. I just want this over with I just want this to be done with God. You're nowhere to be found. Yes. I would wander far away. I would Lodge in the wilderness. I would hurry to find a shelter from the Raging wind in Tempest destroy. Lord defied their tongues received violence and strife in the city day and night that go around it on its walls and Nickelodeon. Double are within it ruins is in its midst oppression and fraud do not depart from it. The marketplace for his own an enemy who taunts me than I can bear. It is an adversary who deals in Flint with me, then I could hide from him. But it is you a man my equal my companion my mil your friend. We should take sweet Council together within God's house. We walked in the throng let death still over them. Let them go down to say all a lie for Evil's our Dwelling Place in their heart for 16, but I call to God and the Lord will save me evening and morning and at noon I under my complaint and moan and he hears my voice Keira Deen's my soul and safety from the battle that I wage for many arrayed against me God. I will get ear and humble them. He hasn't thrown from of old because they do not change and do not fear God my companion stretched out his hand against his friend. He violate his Covenant his speech with smooth as butter that war was in his heart. His words were softer than oil it. They were drawn sword. Listen to cast your burden on the Lord. He will sustain you he will never permit the righteous to be moved. So what is he doing in the first 15 verse that talks about his heart English the chaos in the city of sounding familiar trouble paying and enemies all around him. He said she saying things are hard David does not pretend that they're not Jesus is not pretend that there's not troubles that you're going to face. He says take therefore. No thought for tomorrow for tomorrow has plenty of its own trouble giving us permission to say today is hard for this moment is difficult. I'm feeling pain and anguish and suffering for what are we to do for 16th? But I call to God David is not a self-made man. He turns to God for the following to be saved to be heard for Redemption for justice then what is he doing verse 22 he talked to his heart about God. What does he say cast your burden on the Lord? He's telling his heart this he will sustain you he will never permit the righteous to be moved. He reminds himself of his present condition, but also the truth and the reality that God is with him.

Church, I'm out doctor. I can't tell you what's going on chemically inside of you psychologically with making up everything however as a pastor. And they pretend Theologian. I know that our problems are complex. I know that humans are complex. I know that were made up of more than just spiritual. There's physical there is mental. There's physiological there's things going inside of it. And so I know we're talking about anxiety. There's not some simple solution are silver bullets going to get you past this and you have to hear can understand that but from the theological biblical side, let me tell you something a lot of us are letting her heart do the talking and we need to start talking to her heart. What are we going to stay to our hearts? What are we holding onto today that you have no business carrying about? Because of this man, he says there is righteousness in God, there is hope there is peace in him last thought and then I'll send us on our way. Talking about this idea of what we do speak to her heart, but what are some preventive things? When it comes to anxiety or maybe some ways to be. Climb out of the funnel that we falling into that was very wide and it's gotten more narrow more narrow more narrow all the sudden you're looking up going. How do I get out the steak? Three things that Jesus said if priorities don't lay up treasure in heaven. She's me don't lay up treasure on Earth don't store up here. Especially what he saying if you want to battle this be generous be hospitable being Community when he talked about this idea of a light and what we take in.
