Part 4

Believe in Today

April 24, 2016 • Dr. Rusty Hayes

Pastor Rusty notes that we all carry burdens of worry and fear. He draws encouragement from Christ’s Sermon on the Mount (Matt. 6:25-34) that God provides us everything we need to deal with our concerns for today. Using analogies from nature, Christ commands us to live without worry like the birds of the air and flowers of the field, focusing on what we know today rather than what we cannot fathom.

Pastor Rusty uses the story of the Samaritan woman at the well (John 4:1-42) to illustrate steps that we can all take to increase our faith in God: we must seek Him, submit to Him, identify Him and enjoy Him. Only then will we experience a life that is more.
