Thanksgiving Eve Service / Rev. Anton Lagoutine / based on Matthew 6:25-3
The heart of a child is free from worry, stress and discouragement and is full of hope, adventure and wonder. The bible is constantly trying to call us back to a place of innocence like a child.

Several reasons why worry is wrong 1. Worry is needless. God cares for his own v.25 He goes from the greatest to the least - if he can do the greater he obviously can do the lesser - They he goes from the lesser to the greater v. 26 - the birds - the flowers 2. Worry is pointless. It accomplishes nothing v. 27 - worry doesn't add anything but it can take it away - worry is like a rocking chair. It takes a lot of energy to move but goes nowhere. 3. Worry is faithless. It demonstrates a lack of trust in God v. 30 - examples: the disciples in the storm, Peter on the water (Matt. 14), food for the disciples (Matt. 16) Wrong theology about God - when we give way to worry we are saying that... 1. God, you don't know what's going on in my life 2. God doesn't care 3. God is powerless 4. Worry is godless. Focus and seeks after the wrong thing v. 31-32 - it's paganism The prescription and the promise v. 33 The key- re-aline our priorities The cure- replace your pursuits - spirit food- hunger after righteousness - clothed in humility - spiritual health and exercise Stop worrying and start rejoicing Turn your cares into prayers Eph. 4:6 Make the choice to rejoice phil 4:4 Turn your worry into worship

2000 years ago, people worried about different things like food, shelter, clothing, and safety. We have come so far as a people, but we still worry about plenty of things, don’t we? We have to remember that our enemy wants us to worry, and then doubt that God is able or trustworthy. But our bible reminds us that the Creator will provide for us everything we need, if we just seek His Kingdom first. Join us as we dive deeper into that truth.

With all the things clamoring for our time and attention, it is easy for our priorities to become misplaced. We worry about temporal things more than eternal things. Jesus reminds us that the things of heaven always out to outweigh the worries of this world.
My pursuit in life should be God and my relationship with Him. His pursuit is my needs and me.
