Summary
This Sunday Pastor Reagan Griffith continues our FREED series with a teaching on freedom from anxiety. Drawing from Matthew 6:25-34 and Philippians 4:6-7, Reagan identifies the roots of anxiety within lies and the cycle this creates. As New Yorkers we may feel exempt from this freedom, but God calls us to be free and empowers us to "not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." By embracing this truth that anxiety has no place in our lives, as followers of Jesus, "the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

| 0:00.0 | I'm going to read our teaching text for this morning. You can remain standing. But before I do, |
| 0:09.4 | ooh, didn't see that coming, huh? This morning, we have the honor of hearing from our youth pastor Reagan |
| 0:17.8 | Griffith. Yeah. Yeah. Now, what you want from someone who's bringing the word is someone |
| 0:26.2 | who's of the highest character and integrity of heart. And that's who we have in Reagan. Reagan's been at |
| 0:31.1 | Church of the City for eight years and just been here in the city devoted, committed, and has just like |
| 0:36.8 | the deepest heart specifically for the next generation, |

| 0:48.1 | and then you guys were going to do it anyway. |
| 0:49.7 | So I'll give you a chance to make some noise when she comes up. |
| 0:52.4 | Sounds good? |
| 0:53.6 | All right, Matthew 6, |
| 0:54.9 | 25 through 34, therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life what you will eat or drink |
| 1:02.2 | or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothes? |

| 1:13.6 | away in barns, and yet your Heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? |
| 1:20.7 | Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life? And why do you worry about clothes? |
| 1:27.1 | See how the flowers of the field grow. |
| 1:29.8 | They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was |
| 1:35.5 | dressed like one of these. If that is how God closed the grass of the field, which is here today |
