Pray Instead of Worry

Some seasons don’t gently ease in—they hit hard. Unexpected pressure. Rising tension. Questions about what’s next.As we step into a rocky year, the real question isn’t whether challenges will come—it’s how we’ll respond when they do.In this message, “A Rocky Year Is Here: Will You Be One Who Crumbles Or Climbs?”, we’re reminded that Scripture never hides the reality of trials. Jesus Himself said trouble would come—but He also declared that He has already overcome the world.This sermon walks through the tension of living in a broken world while placing our hope in an unshakable God, calling believers to trade fear for faith and anxiety for trust.In this sermon, you’ll hear about:- Why difficulty is part of life—but defeat doesn’t have to be- How hope sustains us when pressure rises and peace feels distant- The tension between serving God and trusting material security- What it means to steward wisely while stacking your prayers- Why building your life on the Rock matters more than ever- How God uses rocky seasons not to break us—but to grow usThrough passages like John 16, Isaiah 41, Romans 12, Matthew 6 & 7, Psalm 62, and more, this message points us back to a simple, steady truth: God alone is our rock, our salvation, and our refuge.If you’re facing uncertainty, fear, or the weight of hard decisions, this message will challenge and encourage you to stand firm—and even climb—on the Rock that cannot be shaken.A rocky year may be here.But those who build on the Rock will not fall.CONNECT WITH US!Pillar Church Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pillarfollowerPillar Church Website: https://thepillar.comPreston Morrison Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/prestonmorr...Pillar Church is led by Preston Morrison and located in Scottsdale, Arizona.#jesus #church #discipleship #prestonmorrisonCONNECT WITH US!Pillar Church Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pillarfollowerPillar Church Website: https://thepillar.comPreston Morrison Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/prestonmorr...Pillar Church is led by Preston Morrison and located in Scottsdale, Arizona.#jesus #church #discipleship #prestonmorrisonCONNECT WITH US!Pillar Church Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pillarfollowerPillar Church Website: https://thepillar.comPreston Morrison Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/prestonmorr...Pillar Church is led by Preston Morrison and located in Scottsdale, Arizona.#jesus #church #discipleship #prestonmorrison
