  • One author noted that we could write on countless American gravestones this epitaph: Hurried, Worried, Buried. Fear, stress, worry, and anxiety ravage modern culture. These two verses of Philippians 4 are among the most treasured by Christians worldwide because of their power to overcome this tendency to be overwhelmed by anxiety. Let’s give our souls a rest by learning and practicing the truths presented here.
    This teaching is from our series Technicolor Joy: A Study through Philippians with Skip Heitzig from Calvary Church.

    58 yrs old. I have been suffering from Anxiety since my teen years. Anxiety has caused me to miss out on a lot of life. I have been seeking Gods words for comfort but I am now listening and accepting Gods help. I can't cope with this disabling condition any longer. Skips sermon was excellent and it he helps me put my responsibilities in an order for me to follow. The how to seek Gods help through Prayer, Supplication and Thanksgiving is very helpful in my redirecting my anxiety into worship. Thank you Skip and Calvary.

Your teachings are always so refreshing and full of practical wisdom, that my heart is filled of so much peace--the peace of God that as far as I’m concerned, He could take me home right now to be with Him, my Jesus, and Worship Him vis-a-vis; face to face! WOW! What Great JOY that would be!!! Ptr. Skip, Many Blessings to you and your family! Glory to EL ELYON!!!🙏✝️❤️

But I am learning to trust and commit because I know that God is on my side through my wonderful Savior , the Lord Jesus Christ in whom I have put my trust for the salvation of my soul. Thanks for the encouragement of your message. I've shared your message with my friends.

    Anxiety is a true curse that has stolen so much of my life. So much of it can be traced back to my neurodivergence, and let’s just say that if it wasn’t for God I would have “lost it.” NowI remember that God made me this way as a blessing not a curse, and I can touch so many people with my “voice”!

    My mother in law is passing away this week and I'm having a really hard time. I don't know what to say to be helpful and this anxiety making me the opposite of that. Thank you for this. As a newer Christian, guys like Skip and Mike Winger have been invaluable people to me. So much so I found a Calvary church in my neighborhood to bring my kids to. I hope my husband will come aroumd too, but with his mother dying, I'm scared to say the wrong thing and push him away. His mom is very treasured by his family, with good reason. I'm rambling, just wanted to say thank you.

After this video four years ago, I decided to check out my nearest Cavalry Chapel. I have been saved. I have never looked back. This is for those who question whether they should walk the path of faith. This is my confirmation that the answer is absolutely! It’s changed my life for the better.

      Hi Heather the only thing that sends any of us to hell is the rejecting of Jesus Christ as Savior . Surely the shed blood of Christ is stronger to save you . I will pray for you , love from a sister in Christ
