Three Ways to Grow When You Can't Leave the House

James Rochford
Philippians 1:1-11

Paul, the greatest Christian leader in the history of the world, did not let being imprisoned in Rome make him become angry, bitter or depressed. Instead, he took it as an opportunity to grow in appreciation for people, to grow in his attitude toward God and to grow in his ability to pray.

Biblical Provisions for Handling Anxiety

Ben Foust
Philippians 4:4-9

The Bible acknowledges that anxiety is a part of the human experience. It also does not condemn all forms of anxiety. It is good to have concern or care for others. Pride and trying to control things that cannot be controlled drives much of our anxiety. The Bible does offer provisions for combatting the undesirable forms of anxiety. We cannot choose our circumstances or our feelings, but we can choose our attitude about them. We can humbly acknowledge God's sovereignty and prayerfully tell God about our fears, give thanks for his promises, and ask for what we need.

The Power of Prayer

James Rochford
James 5:13-20

James emphasizes to his readers the importance of prayer in a Christian's life. We should pray at all times, when things are going well and during suffering and trials. Prayer can bring rest and healing and can unleash God's power, but we must pray according to God's will and not come to Him with conditions or an expectation that God will give us everything we want.

The Prayer of a Servant

Mike Sullivan
James 5:13-20

In Jesus, we see a perfect model of a life of ministry dependent of the Holy Spirit, rooted in prayer. Christians today are also called to love and serve others through the power of the Holy Spirit, who supplies all we need when resources and power are otherwise scarce. Three key attitudes when asking God to help us serve others are to have a willingness to serve, to recognize our helplessness, and to be shamelessly audacious in prayer.

Two Ways

Conrad Hilario
Psalms 1:1-6

The book of Psalms teach us how to relate honestly to God, how to praise and thank Him, and how to affirm what is true in the midst of difficult circumstances or emotions. In Psalm 1 we see that the primary characteristic of the righteous is that their lives are rooted in and nourished by God's Word. This requires making time for reading scripture, minimizing distractions, and prioritizing quality over quantity.
