Message Notes:
The Lord's Prayer says, "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." Matthew 6:33 (NIV)
No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.
Matthew 6:24 (NIV)
WHEN GOD IS FIRST…
1. IT DECREASES MY CAPACITY FOR NEGATIVE EMOTIONS
Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Matthew 6:25 (NIV)
Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?
Matthew 6:26 (NIV)
Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life? Matthew 6:27 (NIV)
And why do you worry about clothes?... Matthew 6:28 (NIV)
…See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you-you of little faith? Matthew 6:28-30 (NIV)
So do not worry, saying, “What shall we eat?” or “What shall we drink?” or “What shall we wear?” For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. Matthew 6:31-32 (NIV)
2. IT INCREASES MY CAPACITY FOR EVERYTHING ELSE
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Matthew 6:33 (NIV)
3. IT GIVES ME THE ABILITY TO BE MY BEST TODAY
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Mathew 6:34 (NIV)
But when you pray…
This, then, is how you should pray:
“Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.”
Amen. I’m a 16 year old girl looking for solutions for my sudden anxiety and this calmed me.

@@SeacoastChurch thank you 🙏 god bless
I hope it Will work for me too
Me too, I think Josh is a great speaker.
Oh wow! That's great to hear. Specially from a 16 yr old (17 by now). This world is troubled, guard your heart and mind, stay strong.
Please Jesus take my intrusive thoughts and anxiety away ,please pray for me 🙏🏻
I will.
amen
Peace to you in Jesus name ❤
I worry each and everyday about not being here able to enjoy my wife and kids. I'm losing those days by worrying. I want to be able to put these fears away and enjoy the moment. I pray everyday that the Lord helps me with this.
I need to lose some weight and eat healthier, that would help ease my mind some as well. It's so hard to do. It's all there for me though. Eat better, get healthier and enjoy the days more. Help me with this Lord each day. 🙏
Amen this is my prayer too.. kids and good health.. I will pray with and for you as well.
Wow this was great, i have huge anxiety over death, and what is on the other side and if i will make it to heaven, this helped a lot ❤️...I hope Jesus breaks EVERYONES chains of anxiety and stress, Amen. ❤️❤️❤️
Amen 🙏
I have anxiety over this same thing to what is there after we die? 🙏🏽
I almost passed this video up but the Lord stopped me thank you in so many ways thanks be to God
I’m so uneasy, worried, anxious about a very ill family member. I know I need to trust in the Lord, and I do, but I’m human. This is so hard. God be with me 🙏🏽❤️
With my perfectionism and general pessimism, I've always been something of a worry-rat. I've always been hyper-aware of all the ways something can go wrong and idk I think because of the pandemic, that feeling has escalated. Anyway, I'm really glad that I found this video. I have just submitted my last final paper and I've been really stressed about it because I had a lot of difficulty with the assignment, technological malfunctions, and well, ultimately, ended up turning it in a few days late. My professor has not answered any of my emails and I'm just so scared that he won't accept it and all of that work will be for nothing. Anyway, I worked myself into a panic and I am glad I found this video when I did because it calmed me down instantly.
Thanks - from a nervous college student
God please heal me for all my worries
Wow! I just happen to stumble on this message because I was doing research on Worry and Anxiety. Such a powerful message. The illustration you used was impactful.
It is exactly what I needed to hear today. Thank you Seacoast church.
This is such a great message, if you didn't watch the whole thing, please watch the whole thing,
I have all of the sudden started stressing and having so much anxiety. Like time is moving too fast. Before I know it my kids will be grown and gone and I'll be old and alone. I love my life, where it's at right now. I don't want it to change, but I understand that's a part of life. That change is life, and I've never been somebody who's scared of the future before. But all of the sudden I am and it's terrifying.
I've thought of this also.😔
Like you stated, it is part of life.
Your children will always be in and a part of your life.
You are NEVER alone with God and Jesus in your heart and holding you in the palms of Their hands.
🙏🙏🙏
✌️✌️✌️
💚
I struggle so bad with anxiety. So bad to the point I shake. :(
Do you have anyone helping you ? Please seek help in prayer, but also a doctor . Don’t suffer ! You don’t have to.
I am the same😢
listen to messages like this the more and pray. Accept Jesus into your life and get addicted to the word of God. We all have tendency to stray because of worry and anxiety but we anchor our soul on Christ the solid rock. Cheers 🍻 👏 ✌
@@debodebo9630 amen so true
This sermon blessed me I listened in its entirety and loved the message because I’m dealing with a lot of fear and anxiety since I was 6 years old.
This could save lives.
I’m a Senior football and basketball player, with 0 offers. Hell yea, I’m stressing over my future because I just don’t know what I’m doing wrong. When everything going good, I fade away from Christ and scripture but when things get a little shaken like right now, I run as fast as I can to him with a whole bunch of questions.
Please pray for me🙏🏿
Very good and practical lessons Bible teaches us . God's word is so powerful . Lord is so good & gracious 🙏
My 8 year old has anxiety and this helped her to keep her eyes on God.
Listened to this in the car on the way to a big interview. Thank you :)
I was fine until I was about 30 then I started getting anxiety about the future and that I hadn't met the love of my life and got married. I'm now 59 never got married. I have turned to Christ and put him first in my life but he hadn't healed me unfortunately and life is very difficult for me but I still wait for him to come through for me and trust he will. At the end of the day we have billions of years to come in eternity so being happy on earth is not that important.
Lord, please help me to stop worrying. 🙏
Beautiful sermon.. I'm touched.. All praise to God.
I need you god
Great just great. Thank you.
I really needed to hear this. Thank you and praise God 🙏
This was better than any other video I tried to find on this I'm always thinking about what will happen not just tomorrow but next week the week after that it's crippling me 🙏🏽
Beautiful sermon, GOD is SO GOOD!!
I’m praying my anxiety and depression goes away, I’m distracted and haven’t been choosing god. I want to change my ways and get right with god. Please pray for me
Amen,Please Pray for me😢😭💔
I really needed to hear this today. Thank you
I’ve been dealing with anxiety for almost 4-5 years and this sermon has helped me so much, I was making my body/ my health my master always being worried about if there was something wrong with me the entire time I tried praying weak prayers and never once thought about how I was putting my body/health before him
This message has truly blessed me, thank you! Powerful sermon.
Please pray for my mother in law Mandy. She has stage 4 cancer but more urgent then that is that she doesn’t know Christ as her savior. Please pray for Mandy and her entire family to accept Christ as Lord and please take this request to your church as well.
Thank you. I admit that I serve worry, fear, Insecurities, my job, money, self-centered ambition....on and on. I am always angry anxious and afraid 😢
I need you God
God never fails to speak to me through things like this.
Side note / Thank you note from me:
I really love how on these videos, as he reads the verse, the scripture is added on the screen so that I may take a screenshot and add it to my notes and then take my own notes next to it!!!🎉🎉🎉✍️🙌👍👏👏👏BiG THANK YOU
Great Sermon,I Serve God and Jesus First and Foremost,the Rest is Meaningless Garbage.
Excellent Sermon...God Bless You
On time Word! Thank you
You're welcome!
Hallelujah and Amen
A difficulty is the cause of worry. If you don't think of difficulty, you can't worry. Not thinking of difficulty would be stopping the cause of worry.
just the message I needed today, the message I've been needing for the past few weeks. God is good 🙏
what awesome teaching i was having sleepless night so stressed ,,,, power inters to my heart in Jesus name
I am having an anxiety attack right now. And the cause of this is my fear of men. Afraid of what's to come if I'll see these particular people face to face. My health is affected. And it is already 11:20 p.m. yet I am still awake. One of my greatest enemy is fear. In this case, my fear of other people especially those who are in higher authorities. But then again, a voice inside my head told me that 'these people has fears, too. And that we are the same." I thank God, my Lord Jesus that in this time of trouble, He is here with me. And nothing is permanent. So is this anxiety. Someday, it will be my testimony on how the Lord has saved me from it. For now, I will let the pain pass and just pray to Jesus.
I wish you all the best in life with peacefulness and joy and excitement in your heart, and not give power to those thoughts that are trying to rob you of it, I pray it in Jesus name amen!
Amen wow this is exactly what I’ve been needing to hear amen
I am 75 but you younger people worry.......when you worry God massive wings shelter you from anxiety. He is so powerful...he will fix it for you, all will be well.. God bless all
Amen! Thank God for you pastor Josh and thank you for delivering this message. God bless you!
Love the Jar Example,you nailed it.
I'm apart of the hidden homeless. Mom is housing me till I get back on my feet. I worry daily that she will die and I'll be living out of my vehicle. Yet I've been homeless since Sept 1st 2018. Don't get me wrong my life is improving. I'm struggling with getting work now I have covid. I rent a space at an antique store for 25 dollars per month which if I can I want a studio apartment for 200 to 350 per month. Money I make at the store is enough to pay my apartment rent if I can get one
Stay positive God will take care of you.
12:02 - that is a rather privileged way of interpreting "why do you worry about clothes?" Clothing isn't just a matter of looking good and feeling good about how you look, or even about making the right impression. It is a practical need, both for the sake of protection against the elements, and because society demands it in various ways (i.e. try going to a job interview, loan application, date, etc. without being reasonably clean and well-dressed. It is very likely to hurt your chances.) and one that many people can not readily meet.
Struggling this morning. I feel the anxiety and the worry take away my happiness.
My problem is dwelling on the past …
Try to forget the past it's gone now. Live for the present, life is short.
Thank you
Yes
Amen!🙏🙏🙏
Excellent sermon Seacoast! Thank you so much for this.
Thank you for this❤️
Loved this, I needed this message ❤️
Excellent illustrations!
Great news, Amen
He is a great speaker, glad I watched the video.
Great word! I needed to hear this today. So focused on money to where I wasn’t present in the present. God is good!
i just started a new job and i have high anxiety as i have anxiety to drive to get to work and being in a new place and not knowing if ill be able to handle my job. so full of stress, i can feel myself weakening, not even having an appetite and cant get a good night's sleep or rest for that matter. i feel like i wont be able to relax til i get settled into a job that i'll love long term :( god please rescue me...
This is kind of how I feel, I just started college and I’m stressed out and anxious. For the past couple weeks my appetite has been way lower. I know god is getting me out of this and it is just a season, stay strong, trust him fully
I recommend the book The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle
My mom always told me in one ear and out the other take everything with a grain of salt....
Amen
i suffer from Hypertention Anxiety disorder and PTSD ive had a very bad life of trauma ive been through some very horrific events in my life that has dammaged me for life' my heart is not in best of health and i have very high blood pressure' but there are just some things about the truth in the bible that gives me Anxiety like the Lake of Fire terrifies me' and Jesus saying for i never knew you depart from me' when i hear these verses about Hell i get panic attacks am i the only one? i cant even watch video testimonies about HELL it will cuase me sever health issues.
My question is why is that there are people died from hunger if we are more important than birds ?
We don't know why bad things happen, but we need to stay positive and believe good things will happen.
I'm sick of worrying
So tired of hearing ’just live in the moment’ when the moment is unbearably bad!
I suffer with clinical anxiety. On meds losing hope
Don't lose hope, Mark. I take medication, too. Anxiety can strike at any time throughout life. Anxiety is one of the oldest diseases historically. Jesus knew that. Sometimes it seems like every solution is a dead end, but that's OK. Just relax and seek knowledge, expert advice, make plans, and take timely action. That's what King Solomon advised in the proverbs. Pray along with that process and be patient. You are valuable as a person and you will eventually find the solution to the problems.
You can’t serve two masters.
Thank you
Amen
Amen
