Not a Care in the World

Mar 16, 2025    Pastor Starla Smith

Control


Nobody likes to be unhappy, uncomfortable and in pain. Instead, we chase “Good Vibes” that only bring fleeting moments of happiness, fulfillment, or validation. In this series, we’ll look at the Good Vibes we all commonly chase, and participate in the season of Lent by observing Jesus’ example during his 40 days in the wilderness. 


Jesus invites us to experience the power of emptying ourselves of distracting vibes, and learning to rely on Him for all our deepest needs during this season of anticipating the significant gift of God’s loving sacrifice.


QUESTIONS FOR THE ROAD:

1. Is your own anxiousness your treasure? Do you think that you can do something about all of these things by being anxious?  


2. How do you tend to try and control life? How has control become an idol to you? 


3. How does shifting our focus from earthly needs to Christ as our ultimate satisfaction change the way we respond to anxiety and uncertainty in life?
