Episode 47 - Don't Worry
Welcome to the One Loud Voice podcast. We are in a series on the 12 main teachings of Jesus. This week we are talking about Jesus' command of "Don't Worry". Join us as we talk about this important topic, discussing how to better navigate the temptation to worry.
Show Notes:
Matthew 6:25-34
Worrying about our future or things going on in our lives is the result of not trusting God. In vs. 30 Jesus asks the question: "Why do you have so little faith?"
How do we change that? How do we grow our faith to the point that it overpowers our temptations to worry?
1. Pray - Philippians 4:6-7
2. Praise - Isaiah 61:3
3. Trust - Proverbs 3:5
Read the book of Ruth. What are some things we can learn from this story about trusting God and overcoming worry?
Questions to ask yourself or discuss in your group:
1. What are some issues that we worry about?
2. What are some circumstances that cause you to worry?
3. Looking back at these issues and circumstances, what are some key reasons that worry overrides our faith?
From the three things listed above (pray, praise, trust) ask yourself or discuss in your group:
1. Do you identify worry in your life? What are some negative impacts that worry has on you?
2. What are you listening to? What are you saying about your situation?
3. What are some things you can do to help you trust God more?
Isaiah 55:10-11
There is power in the Word of God to help us overcome our greatest worries!
1. Pray scripture
2. Praise speaking out the Word
3. Trust by standing on His promises
