My confidence is anchored in Christ’s control.

It’s not that our problems are too big, it’s that our view of Christ is too small. The title “Christ” reminds us of Jesus’ Lordship and power. He is “God with us”, but he is also the transcendent King of kings and Lord of lords. When facing the greatest obstacles that life throws at us, we can look to our King who is greater than our enemy. We can say with the Psalmist: I have set the Lord always before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken (Ps. 16:8).

 Take-Home Message: My confidence is anchored in Christ’s control.

 Because Christ is in control, I need not be anxious (1-9).

  • Overcoming anxiety… 
  • Focus on the One who is with you.
  • Focus on what you do have.

 Because Christ is in control, I enjoy his abundance (10-15).

  • How do I enjoy his abundance?
  • 1. You can have as much of Him as you want!
  • 2. Jesus withdraws from us when we try to control him.

 Because Christ is in control, I need not be afraid (16-21).

 Message: Christ is in Control

 Scripture: John 6:1-21

 Simple. Authentic. Jesus.
