“be anxious for nothing but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving...the peace of God that passeth all understanding will guard your heart and mind through Christ Jesus”
On Resurrection Sunday Pastor preaches from Philippians about living with 'Easter faith' in a Good Friday world — naming the pervasive assault on mental health and arguing that knowing Christ and the power of his resurrection gives connection, resilience, and a call to solidarity in suffering.
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your request to God. And then the peace of God, which transcends understanding, will guard your heart and your mind in Christ Jesus.”
Raegan Griffith preaches on freedom from anxiety using Matthew 6 and Philippians 4. She defines anxiety, diagnoses how it becomes entrenched (neural pathways and cultural normalization), explains three lies anxiety tells (about God's power, our identity, and our purpose), and gives two biblical tools for freedom: meditate on truth and practice prayer with thanksgiving. She affirms the role of therapy and medication as God‑used tools and issues a pastoral invitation to bring anxieties to God.
“Be anxious for nothing, but by everything with prayer and supplication with Thanksgiving let your request be made known unto God and the peace of God that passeth all understanding will guard your heart and mind through Christ Jesus”
A resurrection/Easter sermon that moves from the reality of being 'shook' by life's sucker punches (trauma, injustice, loss) to the hope that God will 'cook' — show out, restore, and repurpose pain for a higher purpose when we keep showing up in faith.
“Be anxious for nothing; in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God, and the peace of God which surpasses all understanding will guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus.”
Pastor Reginald W. Sharpe Jr. preaches from Psalm 27 about 'Trouble,' teaching that trouble is universal but God actively hides, calms, and sets believers on a rock in the midst of trials. He urges reliance on the Bible as the instruction manual, calls for joyful praise and testimony, invites listeners to respond to Christ, and issues practical appeals for stewardship (roof repairs, Juneteenth sponsorship) and community engagement.
