" Why We Worship" with Matt Carter

Notes

"Do Not Worry" with Steve Madsen

Jesus commands us not to worry, which seems impossible in a world full of legitimate concerns. Worry creates tunnel vision and steals our peace while producing nothing productive. Instead of trying to control everything, Jesus calls us to look at how God provides for birds and flowers, reminding us we are far more valuable. The antidote to worry is seeking God's kingdom first, trusting His daily provision rather than trying to manage tomorrow's problems today. When we surrender control and focus on eternal things, God's peace guards our hearts and minds.

"Free from People Pleasing" with Ryan Kwon

Notes

"I Am Who I Am" with Nghia Tran

Imposter syndrome affects countless people who struggle with self-doubt despite their accomplishments. The persistent voice saying "I'm not enough" creates a vicious cycle of anxiety and inadequacy. The biblical solution isn't found in working harder or hiding, but in understanding God's name revealed to Moses in Exodus 3:14. When God says "I AM WHO I AM," He reveals three truths: He is transcendent (bigger than our problems), immanent (personally active in our lives), and sufficient (everything we're not). Through Jesus, who claimed to be the great "I AM," we receive a new identity based not on what we can do, but on what He's already done. Insecurities end when worship begins.

"The Secret to 'Living Sent'" with Andrew Hoffman

Mission begins with seeing people the way Jesus sees them - with deep compassion for their hidden struggles and brokenness. In Matthew 9:35-38, Jesus looked at crowds and saw beyond their outward appearance to their inner reality as people who were harassed and helpless like sheep without a shepherd. This compassion moved him to action, calling his disciples to join him in mission. We are invited to live sent through the BLESS approach: Begin with prayer, Listen with care, Eat together, Serve with love, and Share your story. When we develop Jesus' heart of compassion, we become partners with God in transforming lives and experiencing the incredible joy of shepherding others toward faith.
