The Unexpected Freedom of Dependence on God

Why do we chase a fierce independence that only leaves us anxious and alone? Matthew 6 exposes how our frantic self-sufficiency forces us to live like spiritual orphans. In this message, Pastor Philip Miller demolishes our illusion of absolute autonomy by offering a better way: childlike trust. Without it, we end up like a fish gasping on land. This is part three of the sermon, "Our Daily Bread." This month's special offer is available for a donation of any amount.
