Finding Rest Through God's Presence: Overcoming Anxiety by Waiting on the Lord

This sermon addresses the practical challenge of casting our cares upon God and finding genuine relief from anxiety. I emphasises that simply praying a quick prayer to release our worries is insufficient; instead, we must intentionally spend time waiting in God's presence. Through this deliberate practice of waiting, an exchange occurs—we receive God's strength while He takes our burdens. The message highlights the importance of daily, distraction-free time with God, the spiritual practice of speaking in tongues as a means of rest and refreshing, and the transformative power of being mindful of God's presence throughout our daily lives. The sermon concludes with an encouragement to prioritise time with the Lord as essential for experiencing the peace and restoration He promises.   Find a C3 Church Near You: https://www.c3churchglobal.com [https://www.c3churchglobal.com/]   If you want to give to help C3 Church Global plant new churches around the world, head to https://www.c3churchglobal.com/giving [https://www.c3churchglobal.com/giving]   Follow Me On Social Media: https://www.youtube.com/@Philpringle?sub_confirmation=1 [https://www.youtube.com/@Philpringle?sub_confirmation=1]  https://instagram.com/philpringle [https://instagram.com/philpringle] https://www.facebook.com/psphilpringle [https://www.facebook.com/psphilpringle] https://www.tiktok.com/@philpringl [https://www.tiktok.com/@philpringl] https://twitter.com/philpringle [https://twitter.com/philpringle]    Purchase a copy of my books today: https://philpringle.com/store [https://philpringle.com/store]

How to Starve Anxiety & Feed Your Soul on God’s Word

Mental health struggles are real – and if you’ve been searching for how to manage anxiety, deal with stress, or just find peace, you’re not alone. But science can’t solve what is spiritual at its core. This message tackles one of our most pressing struggles: anxiety. Drawing from Philippians 4, we discover that managing anxiety isn't about wishing our circumstances would change, but about making intentional changes in what we allow into our minds and spirits. The apostle Paul's instruction to 'think on these things' - things that are lovely, pure, and of good report - isn't just wishful thinking; it's a practical command we can actually obey. The key insight here is revolutionary: we become what we feed on. Just as a starved lion loses to a well-fed dog, our anxiety loses power when we stop feeding it through negative media, toxic conversations, and endless streams of fear-inducing content. Instead, when we nourish ourselves with God's Word through meditation - not casual reading, but deep, repetitive chewing like a cow chews its cud - that Word becomes engrafted into our souls. The beautiful imagery from Psalm 1 shows us that meditating on Scripture day and night makes us like trees planted by rivers of water, naturally bearing fruit without struggle. This isn't about striving; it's about positioning ourselves where the life-giving water of God's Word can be absorbed into our very being, transforming us from glory to glory.   Find a C3 Church Near You: https://www.c3churchglobal.com [https://www.c3churchglobal.com/]   If you want to give to help C3 Church Global plant new churches around the world, head to https://www.c3churchglobal.com/giving [https://www.c3churchglobal.com/giving]   Follow Me On Social Media: https://www.youtube.com/@Philpringle?sub_confirmation=1 [https://www.youtube.com/@Philpringle?sub_confirmation=1]  https://instagram.com/philpringle [https://instagram.com/philpringle] https://www.facebook.com/psphilpringle [https://www.facebook.com/psphilpringle] https://www.tiktok.com/@philpringl [https://www.tiktok.com/@philpringl] https://twitter.com/philpringle [https://twitter.com/philpringle]    Purchase a copy of my books today: https://philpringle.com/store [https://philpringle.com/store]

The God of Hope: Finding Joy and Peace in Desperate Times

This powerful message centers on Romans 15:13, revealing God as the God of hope who fills us with joy and peace through the Holy Spirit. We're reminded that in a world drowning in anxiety and depression, we have access to an abundant supply of hope—not just a small measure, but an overflowing abundance. The key lies in believing, in switching our faith on even when circumstances scream otherwise. The message challenges us to move beyond emotional self-protection that comes from past disappointments and to embrace big dreams again. There's profound wisdom here about how failure isn't the end but part of our spiritual development, building emotional resilience and strength. We're encouraged to become hope-givers ourselves, understanding that what we sow we will reap—when we encourage others, our own souls receive encouragement. The transformative truth is that God is present right now, ready to fill us with His Spirit, offering a completely different way of thinking and living that stands in stark contrast to the world's culture of complaint and negativity. This isn't about denying reality but about accessing divine reality, where God's light arises even when darkness covers the earth.   Find a C3 Church Near You: https://www.c3churchglobal.com [https://www.c3churchglobal.com/]   If you want to give to help C3 Church Global plant new churches around the world, head to https://www.c3churchglobal.com/giving [https://www.c3churchglobal.com/giving]   Follow Me On Social Media: https://www.youtube.com/@Philpringle?sub_confirmation=1 [https://www.youtube.com/@Philpringle?sub_confirmation=1]  https://instagram.com/philpringle [https://instagram.com/philpringle] https://www.facebook.com/psphilpringle [https://www.facebook.com/psphilpringle] https://www.tiktok.com/@philpringl [https://www.tiktok.com/@philpringl] https://twitter.com/philpringle [https://twitter.com/philpringle]    Purchase a copy of my books today: https://philpringle.com/store [https://philpringle.com/store]

"If" The Art of Prayer

Are we truly drawing near to God? This message challenges us to examine our prayer life and relationship with the Divine. The central theme revolves around James' profound statement: 'If you draw near to God, He will draw near to you.' This simple 'if' becomes a pivotal point in our spiritual journey. We're reminded that prayer isn't just about asking for things, but about communion with God Himself. The stark contrast between the limited access to God in the Old Testament and our newfound privilege in the New Testament is eye-opening. We now have a 'new and living way' into God's presence daily. This message urges us to wake up a little earlier, to breathe heaven's air, and to make prayer the lungs of our Christian life. Are we willing to take up this challenge and experience the transformative power of drawing near to God?   Find a C3 Church Near You: https://www.c3churchglobal.com [https://www.c3churchglobal.com/]   If you want to give to help C3 Church Global plant new churches around the world, head to https://www.c3churchglobal.com/giving [https://www.c3churchglobal.com/giving]   Follow Me On Social Media: https://www.youtube.com/@Philpringle?sub_confirmation=1 [https://www.youtube.com/@Philpringle?sub_confirmation=1]  https://instagram.com/philpringle [https://instagram.com/philpringle] https://www.facebook.com/psphilpringle [https://www.facebook.com/psphilpringle] https://www.tiktok.com/@philpringl [https://www.tiktok.com/@philpringl] https://twitter.com/philpringle [https://twitter.com/philpringle]    Purchase a copy of my books today: https://philpringle.com/store [https://philpringle.com/store]

Get Your Fire Back! The Power of the Holy Spirit

Feel like going to church is a chore? Or you haven't been in a couple of years? When the fire of faith fades, many Christians find themselves simply going through the motions — attending church, serving, or joining groups out of duty rather than desire. In this powerful message, Ps Phil Pringle shares how the Holy Spirit can reignite your passion for God and renew your love for His house.   Find a C3 Church Near You: https://www.c3churchglobal.com [https://www.c3churchglobal.com]   If you want to give to help C3 Church Global plant new churches around the world, head to https://www.c3churchglobal.com/giving [https://www.c3churchglobal.com/giving]   Follow Me On Social Media: https://www.youtube.com/@Philpringle?sub_confirmation=1 [https://www.youtube.com/@Philpringle?sub_confirmation=1]  https://instagram.com/philpringle [https://instagram.com/philpringle] https://www.facebook.com/psphilpringle [https://www.facebook.com/psphilpringle] https://www.tiktok.com/@philpringl [https://www.tiktok.com/@philpringl] https://twitter.com/philpringle [https://twitter.com/philpringle]    Purchase a copy of my books today: https://philpringle.com/store [https://philpringle.com/store]
