Sermon
Peace in the Midst of a Worrisome World
Center Church

Summary
Drawing from Psalm 46, the sermon teaches three biblical tactics for combating worry: fleeing to God as a refuge, remembering heaven's certainty amid earthly uncertainty, and surrendering the illusion of control. Worry is exposed as both misery and sin—a failure to trust God—while peace comes through recognizing God's omnipresence, eternal promises, and sovereignty.
Highlights
Worry is not a personality trait. It's a failure to trust a God who has never once failed you.
If prayer is talking to God about your troubles, worry is simply praying to yourself about your troubles.
Psalm 46 has everything that you need for peace in the midst of the uncertainty of this world, if you trust God more than you trust yourself.
