Age of Anxiety

In this profound exploration of anxiety, we journey through the story of Elijah, a legendary prophet who experienced complete exhaustion and overwhelming fear despite witnessing God's miraculous power. The message reveals how even those who have seen God move mountains can find themselves running away, isolated, and listening to lies about their worth. Through Philippians 4:4-7, we discover that anxiety is fundamentally a struggle with 'what-ifs'—imagined threats that create mountains where molehills don't even exist. The sermon confronts our modern reality: we live in the most anxious nation on earth, experiencing more change in thirty years than previous generations saw in three hundred. Yet God's response to Elijah offers us hope. When storms, earthquakes, and fires raged around him, God wasn't in the chaos—He was in the gentle whisper. This teaches us that amidst all our notifications, distractions, and information overload, God remains near, speaking in that still, small voice. The call is clear: tune into the whisper, get up because God still has work for us, and rejoice always—even in the middle of life's earthquakes. We are never alone, never without purpose, and never beyond God's faithful provision.
