Reason For Anxiety: Because We Can't Control the Situation

Title: Reason For Anxiety: Because We Can't Control the Situation Speaker: Creston Thomas Series: Matthew Date: December 21, 2025 Bible: Matthew 6:25 The sermon centers on the transformative truth that true discipleship requires surrendering control to God, rooted in the reality of Christ's incarnation and unwavering love. It confronts the deep-seated human tendency to seek security through material possessions and self-reliance, tracing this impulse to the fall and the resulting fear that drives anxiety. Drawing from Matthew 6:25, the message emphasizes that worry stems from a divided heart and a failure to trust God's provision, especially when we forget our identity in Christ and His sovereign care. The solution is not self-effort but radical submission to God's perfect control, grounded in the gospel: Christ died for sinners not because they were worthy, but because they were loved. This profound truth frees believers from the burden of anxiety, inviting them to rest in God's faithfulness, knowing they are more valuable than food or clothing, and that His plan is always greater than their fears.
