This month’s theme: “God’s Answer for Our Anxiety”

Our world has been turned upside down. The social, political, and pandemic upheavals have disrupted our sense of well being and normalcy. We live in anxious times. We might expect God to help ease our anxiety. For most of us that means take away our problems, make the world the way we want it to be. But that’s not what Jesus offers us. He says, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross and follow me,” (Matthew 16:24). Jesus offers us an end to anxiety not by changing our world but by changing us and how we see our world. Join us as Charles shares with us some helpful hints on how to move away from anxiety to a sense of calm and peace.
