Ben Hill delivers a message about the sufficiency and jealousy of God. God is completely satisfied in Himself, and doesn't need anything or anyone. However, He is also jealous of the people He has chosen and commands their worship.

Receive God's great gift - for free.Grace is the free unmerited favor of God, towards the undeserving and the ill-deserving. God offered us good which we did not deserve, we had no claims on, it simply came from God's grace.Support the show

Are you secretly holding onto a backup plan in case God fails? Discover why compromising for quick fixes always leads to ruin. Learn to trust the only Saviour who saves completely and makes every other option unnecessary today.

Josh Kouri continues our series on the attributes of God proclaiming that the God who is fully sufficient in Himself is also fiercely jealous for His people, and He won't share them with lovers that won't satisfy.

This week, we are continuing the "Overflow Series," which is rooted in the premise that what is on the outside of a person — our words, actions, and attitudes — starts on the inside. To change the outside, you must start on the inside. This series encourages us to get full of the things God wants for us, allowing them to naturally flow out of us. In this message, Pastor John emphasizes that Jesus came to earth "full of grace and truth," which was a mark of His divinity. Being full of grace means you are a reflection of your Heavenly Father. Ultimately, if we are to be like Jesus, we've got to learn to live full of grace, which will then overflow as salvation, joy, strength, and love in our lives.

Main point:  2 Corinthians 2:12–17 shows us four ways our sufficiency is in Christ so that the glory belongs to Him alone.

Today's Fear-Laden Events and “Noise” Will Not Matter If You Practice the Presence of God as You Live Your Life MESSAGE SUMMARY: You cannot practice the presence of God when you practice the presence of fear. You may be inclined to fear for the future of our country or fear about your personal finances or family or health issues. If you practice the presence of God, you will have peace in amidst your life-storm and trauma. The “Presence of Jesus” in your life begins with persistent prayer to the end that you constantly and consistently seek to include Jesus, through the Holy Spirit, in all aspects of your life. “Practicing the Presence of Jesus” in your life will prove to be life changing a rewarding. Jesus provides comfort for your anxieties in Mathew 6:33-34: “But 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 will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.". Also, in Mathew 11:28-30, Jesus makes it clear to you that He wants to walk with you in your times of trouble and fear so that you can offload to Him, the Creator of the Universe, some of those issues that drive your fears: “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.". If you practice the presence of God, it will not matter what this world or the devil throws your way.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, everything in me resists following you into the garden of Gethsemane to fall on my face to the ground before you. Grant me the courage to follow you all the way to the cross, whatever that might mean for my life. And then, by your grace, lead me to resurrection life and power. In Jesus' name, amen.        Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 100). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, Because of who I am in Jesus Christ, I will not be driven by Inadequacy. Rather, I will abide in the Lord's Abundance. “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in Me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5). SCRIPTURE REFERENCE (ESV): John 3:16-17; 1 John 5:1-5; Psalms 37:41-50.

In this edition of UBC Sermon Discussions Jason answers questions that originated from his sermon out of Matthew 6:25-34. Part 2 of UBC's “When We Pray” series.The main idea for the sermon was: When we pray we pray for our needs with hearts of faith.Questions discussed in this episode:Q. How would you counsel someone who is struggling because they have prayed in faith for the salvation of a loved one, but their loved one passed away without ever receiving salvation?Q. This week's passage was from Matt 6:25-34. It talked a lot about “anxiety” and being “anxious.” Jesus mentions the word anxious six different times in the passage. But, people have a lot of presumptions about what being anxious or having anxiety means. Can you clarify?Q. Is it possible that someone can experience anxiety and that it's not always due to a lack of faith, but rather to a hormonal imbalance or an unregulated nervous system?Q. What would you say to believers who truly trust that God loves them, but they feel like they're “failing spiritually” because they take anxiety medication? These are people who are regularly praying and seeking God in the Word, but because they take anxiety meds, they're thinking “What is wrong with me?” Is there any encouragement for them?Q. We take medication without shame for many physical disorders (diabetes, heart conditions, hormonal imbalances), yet mental health medication often carries a stigma in Christian spaces…and it seems many leaders just avoid addressing it. Why do you think that is?Q. How can the church better support people who are walking faithfully with God while also needing therapy or medication for anxiety?Q. Is it okay to plan for the future? Planning helps me to not be anxious. Yet, Jesus says "Do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.” Does that mean we shouldn't make plans for the future?Resources: Daily Prayer Prompts We have created a place where you can send us your questions regarding the sermons or topics we discuss in these podcasts.

Your Uncertainty and Fear Lead to Anxiety; About What Are You Anxious, and Have You “let your requests be made known to God”? MESSAGE SUMMARY:  From Philippians 6, Paul tells us: “do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.”. What are you anxious about? If you are in Christ, Jesus tells us to present our request to the Lord. In Matthew 6:6-8, Jesus instructs His followers how to come to God in prayer: “But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you. And when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do, for they think that they will be heard for their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.". If you are in Christ, you can talk to God and present your issues and requests to Him as if He knows nothing about your situation. You must ask God through your regular prayer life and your personal relationship with God, the Creator of the Universe. What are you anxious about? In Matthew 6:34, Jesus assures His followers that “anxiety” is counterproductive: “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, after his loss, you gave Job prosperity, blessing him with twice as much as he had before, but that has not always felt like my experience. Grant me patience. Help me to trust and wait on you, especially in those areas of my life where I have no idea what you are doing, when my hardship will end, or where you are taking me. In Jesus' name, amen.                   Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 115). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, because of I am filled with the Holy Spirit, I will not be controlled by my Evil Ways. Rather, I will walk in the Spirit's fruit of Goodness. “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” (Galatians 5:22f).

Being a Christian is living in a new way with focus and dependency on God's Word by His Spirit to lead us.

Exodus

Abstract: This article seeks to shed light on an under-researched subject: the more negative public responses to the first five years of the Latter-day Saint mission in Britain, from 1837 to 1842. Sufficient research attention has not been given, to date, to the full range of responses of the British people to the arrival of the new Church on their shores. These responses were often—although by no means exclusively—unfavorable. In short, what we have here is the story of what happens when strangers arrive bearing a message of a newly restored gospel to an insular society that has both a rigid class system and incumbent churches that regard themselves as the only legitimate forms of Christianity. It is a story that offers some lessons for modern times. The post Early Anti-Mormonism in Great Britain, 1837–1842 first appeared on The Interpreter Foundation.

Luke 2:15–21 declares a simple and eternal truth: Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior. The shepherds hear the word, go to see Christ, and respond with obedience and praise. Pastor Steve Miller points us to the sufficiency of Jesus alone. He is enough to save, enough to rule, and worthy of all rejoicing. When Christ is rightly seen as Lord, worship follows.

When the Bottom Falls Out in Your Life, Ask God to Get Involved Through Prayer AND Thanks – You will Be Amazed! MESSAGE SUMMARY: Sometimes the bottom falls out in your life, and you wonder where God is in all your stuff. Well, the challenge to you is to “Thank God” by turning your eyes away from all your life's “stuff” and turning your eyes to God and thanking Him! We have no better teacher, of the need to address God with our thanks, than when, in Luke11:2, Jesus responded to His Disciples' request to teach them to pray: “And he said to them, ‘When you pray, say: Father, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come.'". By taking your situation to God in prayer AND thanks, you will be amazed at what will happen to your situation which, before you asked God through prayer AND thanks, seemed insurmountable. What do you usually do? You worry and fret – you focus on the negative and give the adverse situation so much power, in your life, rather than focusing on God and giving Him thanks. In Mathew 6:34, Jesus tells you not to be anxious about your life situations: “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.". Ask God to get involved in your life through prayer and thanks – you will be amazed.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, may your will, not my will, be done in my life. You know how easy it is to call myself a Christian but then become busy, forgetting about your will and desires. Forgive me for this sin. Help me listen to you, and grant me the courage to faithfully surrender to you. In Jesus' name, amen.    Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 25). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that, because I am in Jesus Christ, My life is about Christ (Philippians 1:21). “I can do everything through Him who gives me strength.”. (Philippians 4:14). SCRIPTURE REFERENCE (ESV): 1 Corinthians 11:25; Colossians 2:2-3; John 10:25-30; Psalms 17:1-15. A WORD FROM THE LORD WEBSITE: www.AWFTL.org.

12/28/2025: Rev. Siyoung Jung   Do Not Be Anxious 25 “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27 And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?[a] 28 And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, 29 yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31 Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?' or ‘What shall we drink?' or ‘What shall we wear?' 32 For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. 34 “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

When evil happens, one of the first questions we ask is why. Scripture provides reasons, prophecies, and context. But rarely the kind of answers that bring immediate comfort. Even the celebration of Christmas includes the atrocity of Herod's massacre of the children in Bethlehem. Advent is not only about peace and joy; it is also about a Savior entering a broken and hostile world. We are called to trust God's sovereignty, even when we do not understand His ways, and to look beyond present suffering to eternal glory. Sermon Notes • Why evil followed immediately after the birth of Jesus • Herod's actions and the slaughter of the innocent • God's foreknowledge and prophetic fulfillment • Why asking “why” often brings no comfort • God's response to suffering in the book of Job • How God remains in control even when evil seems to win • The hope of eternity for those who suffer for God's purposes • Whether believers are willing to trust God—even in suffering Matthew 2:13 – 15 An angel warns Joseph about Herod and tells him to take Jesus to Egypt Matthew 2:16 Herod having been tricked by the Magi had all the male children 2 and under killed Matthew 2:17 & 18 Jeremiah's prophesy was fulfilled, but there was no comfort Job 38:1 – 4 Where were you when God created Job 40:1 – 9 Are you going to annul God's judgments Romans 8:28 God causes all things to become good for those who love Him and are called by Him Revelation 7:9 – 17 Great Tribulation martyrs Revelation 22:20 Even so, Come Jesus

Matthew 6:25-3425 “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27 And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? 28 And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, 29 yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31 Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?' or ‘What shall we drink?' or ‘What shall we wear?' 32 For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. 34 “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.Questions Jesus Asks ResourcesBelieve in Miracles, But Trust in Jesus – Adrian RogersNot God Enough – J.D.

Group Guide Use this guide to help your group discussion as you meet this week. TranscriptGood morning. My name is Mike. Do I look that nervous? Last time I came up here, I said I was about to walk right out the back. This time I was about to walk right out the back. So here I am. Nevertheless, my name is Mike. I'm an elder in training here, and I'm thankful for the opportunity to be able to open up God's Word with you today.We are going to pick up where Isaac left off last week in Matthew chapter 6. If this is your first Sunday, or last week was your first Sunday, you are witnessing a little bit of an anomaly, because Isaac and I don't regularly teach on Sunday morning. If, however, you would like to hear us teach more regularly, you can find our podcast on Apple Podcasts. No, we don't actually have a podcast. Isaac did, but he did not invite me to be on it, and that doesn't bother me. I'm okay with that. But acknowledgement, or even an offer, would have been whatever.Over the last few weeks, we've been going through our GIVE series, at a time of year where there is frequent messaging from modern companies directed at us with the intent of getting us to believe that more stuff equals more joy. We pause and we open up an ancient book that teaches us that God alone is our source of joy.In 1999, Brian Johnson, a student at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, founded a small startup company that sold cell phones to students on campus. He used the commission he made on the sales to pay his way through college. In subsequent years, he founded an e-commerce company called Braintree, which exploded in popularity and eventually became so big in the e-commerce space that they acquired a mobile payment app called Venmo. Being that it was one of the first companies to bring the ability for people to send money to each other electronically by an app, they did extremely well. In 2013, they were acquired by PayPal. Brian Johnson, the college student who at age 22 sold phones out of his dormitory, walked away with $300 million from the sale at the age of 36.Here's a guy with great success in business, resulting in significant wealth at a young age. When we hear that, we say, “Wow, that's the American dream. That's terrific. That's everything we could possibly want.” While he does have an incredibly impressive résumé, it's not these specific accomplishments that he's best known for.In 2021, he started Project Blueprint, which was a campaign against aging. This was an experiment he did on himself in which he started eating a vegan diet, taking approximately 54 supplements a day, exercising about one hour every day, doing red-light phototherapy, and doing electromagnetic abdominal muscle stimulation. In addition to that, he was receiving plasma infusions from his own son.When he was interviewed by a reporter from The Guardian in 2023 about his ultimate goal with all of these endeavors and what he really planned to accomplish, he gave this incredibly insightful, inspiring, and impactful quote: “Don't die.”Interestingly, he's not the only one to pursue this. Other people with this same goal include Peter Thiel, billionaire tech entrepreneur and one of the first major investors in Facebook; Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI and a man involved in the creation of ChatGPT; and Jeff Bezos, the man who transformed his idea for an online book marketplace into Amazon, one of the richest and most influential companies on earth.These are men with yachts, sports franchises, rockets—just about everything on your eight-year-old son's Christmas list. Men with everything at their disposal. And what do they get from it? Anxiety. Anxiety about their life.So here we are today in Matthew chapter 6, with Jesus saying that where your treasure is, your heart will be also, and you can't serve God and money. You seek after what you desire, but ultimately desiring both God and money equally is not possible.We pick up today in verse 25. Before we do that, I'm going to pray and ask for help.Father, I come before you as a desperate man, knowing that you're a God for desperate people. I pray for your help this morning, and I pray that our hearts would be changed by the good Scripture. In Jesus' name, amen.Open up your Bibles with me to Matthew chapter 6, verses 25–34. This is on page 474 in the blue Bible underneath the seat in front of you. If you don't have a Bible, you can keep that Bible.“Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?” (Matthew 6:25, ESV)He starts off with a “therefore,” which means “for this reason.” Because of what I just taught you about where your treasure is, now I tell you this: don't be anxious about your life.Why does he go there next? Why would he presume that correctly applying his previous teaching could result in anxiety, such that he would immediately give a command against it? To answer that, it's helpful to think about who was in the audience.In the crowd would be his disciples, mostly tradesmen and fishermen. Alongside them would be other craftsmen, farmers, shepherds, day laborers—many who were making just enough money to live. The group of people Jesus is talking to are not people seeking money to show up their neighbors; they're seeking money to survive. Jesus knows that when he tells people who seek money just to subsist to now not seek money, they will inevitably be anxious.One of his disciples there was Matthew, the one who recorded this account. Matthew was a tax collector, which potentially means he had enough money to provide for himself. So there was likely a mix of people—some living paycheck to paycheck and others with some excess. Jesus thinks all of them need to understand that they should not be anxious about their life.We can treat this passage as a standalone commentary on anxiety, filtering it through what's going on in our lives—tense relationships, conflicts with spouses, concerns about our kids. The Bible does speak to those things, but that's not the specific subject here. Today we're talking about anxiety that comes from storing treasure on earth.Back to verse 25. Jesus says not to be anxious about your life—what you eat, drink, or wear. These are basic human needs. Jesus says, “Don't worry about those things.” That's a high bar. Will I have what I need to live? Jesus says no—don't worry about that.What do we worry about? Hot latte or cold latte? Dunkin' or Starbucks? What if I have to drink lousy Keurig coffee again? Should I wear those jeans? Are they flattering? Do they make me look cool? How silly are some of the things we worry about. Often our anxiety comes from being overwhelmed by nearly limitless choices.Jesus asks, “Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?” The answer is yes. Life is more than calories, more than fabric. We know that.Then in verse 26, Jesus makes it practical.“Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?” (Matthew 6:26, ESV)The birds are fed. They're provided for. They don't plant, harvest, or store. Jesus doesn't say, “You don't have to worry because you can plan.” He says, “You don't have to worry because you are valuable to God.”Some of us struggle to believe that. Maybe because of recurring sin, or because someone taught us we're not valuable, or because we struggle with self-worth. At some point, nearly everyone wonders what makes them valuable to God.David says in Psalm 8:“When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him?Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor.” (Psalm 8:3–5, ESV)God says you have value because he made you in his image. When Jesus asks, “Are you not of more value than the birds?” the answer is yes.Verse 27:“And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?” (Matthew 6:27, ESV)This doesn't advocate neglecting your health. We should be good stewards of our bodies. But anxiety over life cannot prolong life. The answer is no.Verse 28:“And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin,yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.” (Matthew 6:28–29, ESV)Solomon had unimaginable wealth, yet it didn't compare to the beauty of the lilies God made.“But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?” (Matthew 6:30, ESV)Worry over life betrays small faith because it comes from faith in earthly treasure.Verse 31:“Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?' or ‘What shall we drink?' or ‘What shall we wear?'For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all.” (Matthew 6:31–32, ESV)God knows your needs because he made you. No one knows you like he does.If everything is stored here on earth, then death becomes the greatest enemy. Laying up treasure on earth results in perpetual anxiety.Verse 33:“But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” (Matthew 6:33, ESV)“Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.” (Matthew 6:34, ESV)Seeking the kingdom of God starts with the cross—repenting of sin, trusting in the gospel, and being transformed. Over time, our focus shifts to unseen things that glorify God.You cannot serve God and money. Don't be worried about your life. God will provide exactly what you need.Let's pray.Father, we thank you for your Word that corrects us when we're tempted to believe everything depends on us. Help us leave that behind and seek the kingdom of heaven. In Jesus' name, amen.Would you stand and sing with us?

As a Jesus Follower, Go to God in Your Fear and Anxiety Because Jesus Says: “do not be anxious about tomorrow” MESSAGE SUMMARY: Your problems are not too big for God; God is faithful. Your financial issues, your debt, your health issues, and your sins are not too big for God. God is faithful, and He is trustworthy. Why not take, to God, all those things in your life that are creating anxiety? In Psalms 9:9-10, the Psalmist encourages you to put your trust in God: “The LORD is a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek you.". Also, Jesus tells us, in Mathew. 6:33-34, that you can put our trust in Him and not be anxious about your problems: “But 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 will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”. Our God is a faithful God – reach out to God when fear and anxiety are taking a firm hold on your life.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, fill me with the simple trust that even out of the most awful evil around me, you are able to bring great good — for me, for others, and for your great glory. In Jesus' name, amen.     Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 91). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, because of I am filled with the Holy Spirit, I will not be controlled by my Heartlessness. Rather, I will walk in the Spirit's fruit of Kindness. “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” (Galatians 5:22f).

PREVIEW. Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) and Nuclear Proliferation Risk. Henry Sokolski discusses declassified communications indicating that 20% enriched uranium is sufficient to build a bomb, which is the enrichment level proposed for Small Modular Reactors (SMRs). SMRs are embraced by the political class because they provide the massive electricity required by AI and tech centers. Both political parties are criticized for indiscriminately supporting nuclear generation.
