Why Worrying Weakens Your Faith (Matthew 6 Explained)

In this message, Pastor Scott Thom unpacks Matthew 6:25–34, focusing on Jesus' command not to worry. He explains that worry is often rooted in misplaced priorities and a lack of trust in God as our provider. While planning for the future is wise, trusting in money or possessions instead of God leads to spiritual vulnerability. Pastor Scott emphasizes the importance of seeking God’s kingdom first, having faith in God as a loving Father, and living in the peace and purpose of today, rather than being paralyzed by the past or future.
