Why Worry?

Noel Heikkinen

John 14

What makes you anxious and filled with worry? Is it school? Work? Money? Your health? When we crash into the sources of our anxiety, we either confront them, run away, or allow them to consume us. The Bible shows us a different way to approach these situations. Pastor Noel Jesse Heikkinen shares how moving our eyes away from the sources of our stress and towards Jesus can bring comfort and assurance in our tough moments. In Christ we are not only eternally secure but secure regardless of what we go through in this world.

“Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.”

John 14:1

 

In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. And you know the way to where I am going.”

John 14:2-4

 

Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?”

John 14:5

 

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him.”

John 14:6-7

 

Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.” Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who dwells in me does his works. Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else believe on account of the works themselves.

John 14:8-11

 

“Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father. Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.

John 14:12-14

 

“If you love me, you will keep my commandments.

John 14:15

 

And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you.

John 14:16-17

 

“These things I have spoken to you while I am still with you. But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.

John 14:25-27

 

You heard me say to you, ‘I am going away, and I will come to you.’ If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I.

John 14:28

 

And now I have told you before it takes place, so that when it does take place you may believe.

John 14:29
