Episode 336: Balance, Not Stress

from Travelers Rest United Methodist Podcast · host Travelers Rest United Methodist Church

2nd Sunday after the EpiphanySermon Series: Finding Balance for our Chaotic Lives  Sermon: Balance, Not StressScripture: Psalm 56:2-13As we move deeper into the season of Epiphany, this Sunday invites us to reflect on how God meets us in the midst of everyday life—especially when life feels pressured, crowded, and stressful. In a world that rarely slows down, faith calls us to a different way of living, one rooted in trust rather than fear.In the sermon “Balance, Not Stress,” we will turn to Psalm 56, a prayer spoken from a place of anxiety and uncertainty. The psalmist does not deny fear but brings it honestly before God, discovering that balance is found not in the absence of trouble, but in placing our lives in God’s steady hands. “When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.”As we continue the series Finding Balance for Our Chaotic Lives, this Sunday reminds us that balance does not come from managing everything perfectly. It comes from choosing trust over panic, prayer over pressure, and remembering that God walks with us—even in the moments when stress feels overwhelming.Worship Schedule 8:45am: Contemporary Service10am: Sunday School11am: Traditional Service
