Are You a Worrywart?

CGG Weekly by Dan Elmore

Our anxieties reveal that we do not trust God's providence and care as much as we should. Worry is a false god that does nobody any good.


State of Fear

Sermonette by Ryan McClure

After witnessing the Covid pandemic and several deaths, God's people have a fear of the possibility of an encore of these tragedies.

Anxiety and fretting (symptoms of coveting and idolatry), in addition to cutting life short, erode faith, destroying serenity by borrowing tomorrow's troubles.

The key to overcoming the fear of loss of control is to admit that God is in control. If we have our priorities straight, God will take care of our anxieties.


Prayer and Persistence

God's Rest (Part 3)

Lust begets a guilty conscience, agitation, anxiety, depression, grief, torment. Wrong desire leads to lying, adultery, and murder—eventually leading to death.


Anger (Part Two)

Sermon by Martin G. Collins

We dare not let the sun go down on our wrath. Uncontrolled anger can be a major cause of mental and physical illness. We must reconcile with our adversaries.


The Commandments (Part Twelve)

Sermon/Bible Study by John W. Ritenbaugh

Parents need to teach their children to consider the long-range consequences of current behaviors, chastening and disciplining them while there is hope.
