Anxiety doesn’t begin in our circumstances — it begins in our thinking. In Philippians 4:8-9, the Apostle Paul shows us how the Christian life is shaped by what we dwell on and what we practice.
In this message, Clay walks through Paul’s call to think deeply, intentionally, and Christ-centered. We explore how true peace is not found in emptying our minds, positive thinking, or emotional escape, but by filling our minds with what is true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, commendable, excellent, and worthy of praise: ultimately fulfilled in Jesus Himself.
You’ll hear how:
* Our thinking shapes our actions and our peace
* Anxiety often grows from believing what feels true instead of what is true
* God calls Christians to think deeply, not empty their minds
* Purity, beauty, justice, and excellence retrain our hearts
* Jesus is the fullest expression of everything Paul tells us to dwell on
* Peace is not just something we receive from God — it’s found in relationship with God
Paul ends by calling the church not only to think rightly, but to practice faithfully, and promises that as we do, “the God of peace will be with you.”
