Through the story of the rich young ruler and the life of Paul, we learn that anxiety often grows when our security is misplaced, our hearts are divided, or we refuse to release control.God’s peace doesn’t always remove the weight — sometimes He gives grace to carry it.If you’ve been battling anxiety, overthinking, or feeling overwhelmed, this message will help you learn how to release the weight and trust God with what you can’t control.Key Scriptures:

Worry whispers lies about a future that hasn’t even happened yet.
In this message from the Unfollow Fear series, Pastor Bobby Chandler explains how worry quietly steals your peace, distracts you from what matters most, and keeps you trapped in fear.
Jesus told His followers not to worry about tomorrow because our Heavenly Father already knows what we need. Instead of letting worry control our thoughts, the Bible teaches us to bring everything to God in prayer and trust Him with the future.
If you’ve been struggling with anxiety, stress, or fear about what’s ahead, this message will help you break free from the worry trap and experience the peace that only God can give.

Luke 12:22-32

Fear is loud.
Every day we are surrounded by headlines, stress, anxiety, and uncertainty.
But the Bible makes something clear: God has not given us a spirit of fear.
In this message, Pastor Bobby Chandler teaches how fear tries to paralyze faith and how Jesus calls us to step out of the boat — even when the storm is still raging.
Just like Peter walking on water, the storm doesn’t disappear when faith begins. The difference is where your focus is.If fear has been controlling your thoughts, your decisions, or your future, this message will help you face it with faith.

In a culture that builds relationships on butterflies and emotions, what happens when the feeling fades?
This message dives into what real, biblical commitment looks like. Love isn’t just chemistry. It’s not just attraction. And it’s definitely not just a vibe. According to Scripture, love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things.
Marriage wasn’t created by culture — it was created by God.
