Pastor Jamie Self’s sermon, focusing on Matthew 6:33, explores the connection between anxiety and unbelief. Jesus calls believers to seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness as a remedy for anxiety, emphasizing that our anxieties stem from a lack of trust in God’s provision. The message encourages Christians to “fight for faith” by focusing on God’s promises and recognizing that anxiety is an issue of the heart, not just circumstances. Through this paradigm shift, believers are reminded to support one another in their faith journey, continuously exhorting each other to stay strong in the race of faith.
