Jesus I Have My Doubts – Week 2 | Anxiety

When the house is full and everything feels urgent, anxiety masquerades as responsibility. This sermon looks squarely at that everyday tension — the drive to make things perfect, the inner storm that leaves you distracted, irritable, and convinced that everything depends on your control. It unfolds through the familiar but sharper scene of two sisters: one frantically managing the house, the other sitting and listening, and the way anxiety shows up as accusation, division, and a need for approval. The message contrasts Martha’s distracted turmoil with Mary’s radical practice of stopping to listen, and shows how Jesus meets both with compassion rather than condemnation. Practical and tender, it names how admitting anxiety already loosens it, and points to a different posture: stillness, attention, and trust that shifts the work off your shoulders. Listen for what it feels like when anxiety begins to unwind and what it might mean to simply sit down.
