Ambushed by Anxiety (1 of 8)
Series: The Great Escape

Matthew 6:25-34
My favorite movie of all time is The Great Escape w/ Steve McQueen/James Garner. If you've never seen it, it's based on a true story set in WW2 of a group of allied soldiers who come up w/ an elaborate plan to escape from a German POW camp. In the film there's an important line about how men aren't meant to be imprisoned or held captive - I think God would agree.
Jesus - If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free... I tell you the truth, if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. John 3:31-36
Paul - It was for freedom Christ set you free. So, stand firm, and do not allow yourself to burden again by the yoke of slavery... You were called to be free! Don't use your freedom to indulge in the flesh. Gal. 5
In other words, b/c as a Christian you're in Christ, you don't have to be held hostage by the flesh. Why? B/c Jesus paid your ransom on the cross setting you free.
This AM, I want to begin a series of what I hope to be very practical/helpful lessons on some of the great challenges we face in life that imprison us and hold us hostage - so that God can set us free to experience His best in our lives - this AM, I want to begin our series by talking about the challenge of ANXIETY!
Anxiety is a plague in our culture today. Did you know some of 40 mil. adults in the US and as many at 25% of teens/children are believed to have some sort of anxiety disorder - and that's just the diagnosed. I don't know if these number are inflated, but I can tell you that anxiety is very real and that it's a crippling issue in many families today - mine is one of them.
As most of you are aware, we live w/ a child w/ special needs. Our amazing son, Colin, faces many challenges in his life, but easily the most devastating is anxiety. When it comes upon him, due to any number of antecedents, it can seemi ...
