Dayspring Church Online

Welcome to Dayspring. Wheater you are joining us online or in our sanctuary, we are glad to connect with you. Today we continue a series of messages where we are talking about what to do about the feelings we deal with. ==================================== Pastor Nestor Flores Sunday, July 26, 2020 “No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other; you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and be enslaved to money. 25 “That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn’t life more than food, and your body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren’t you far more valuable to him than they are? 27 Can all your worries add a single moment to your life? 28 “And why worry about your clothing? Look at the lilies of the field and how they grow. They don’t work or make their clothing, 29 yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are. 30 And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith? 31 “So don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’ 32 These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. 33 Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. 34 “So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.” Matthew 6:24-34 (NKJV) TO OVERCOME ANXIETY ... 1. Acknowledge That Your Focus Determines Your Anxiety Ø Anxiety Is a Matter of Devotion "No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other; you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and be enslaved to money.” Matthew 6:24 (NLT) 2.

Focus On The Kingdom Of God "Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.” Matthew 6:33 (NLT) “It was by faith that Enoch was taken up to heaven without dying—“he disappeared because God took him.” For before he was taken up, he was known as a person who pleased God.6 And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.” Hebrews 11:5-6 (NLT) To Put God First, Give God... · Your Time · Your Treasure · Your Talent 4. Do What You Can Today And Trust God For Tomorrow “So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries.
