Anxiety vs. The Kingdom, Pt. 2

•Remember, the point of this passage is not a “cure” for anxiety but to set forth the life of a Christian that ends up, among other wonderful things, addressing our anxiety. This is for disciples of Christ.
•The goal here is not to berate but to challenge; not to condemn but to encourage; not to convict but to persuade.
We should not be anxious…

1. Because our life is more than food and clothing (v. 25).
2. Because we are more valuable than the animals (v. 26 — Are you not of more value than they?).
3. Because our anxiety cannot add to our lives (v. 27).
4. Because God will care for us just as He cares for the rest of creation (vv. 28-30).
5. Because God knows you need these things (v. 32).
6. Because we “do not know what tomorrow will bring” (v. 34, James 4:14).
