Summary
The speaker warns against the danger of worry, citing three key biblical reasons: worry chokes the Word of God (Luke 8), it renders one unprepared for Christ's return (Luke 21), and it disqualifies one from serving God (Matthew 6). To combat worry, the speaker advises, using Proverbs 18:10, that when fear or anxiety arises, one must actively run to the Lord, rather than assuming automatic protection.

Speaker: Jeremy Utley Title: The Danger Of Worry Date: 11-19-2017 Our Goal as Christians is this: To be an exact reflection of Jesus, the Son of God (Romans 8:29) We do this individually by growing in purity in our personal lives (1 John 3:2-3) We do this corporately by becoming fully functioning members of a local Church (Ephesians 4:11-16)

Jeremy Utley - Struggling With Anxiety? There’s Hope.
Jeremy Utley · Aug 11, 2025
Jeremy Utley teaches that anxiety and worry are sins—not mental health conditions—based on Jesus's repeated commands in Matthew 6 and Paul's instruction in Philippians 4 to not worry or be anxious. He challenges the church to reject the world's normalization of anxiety as a condition, adopt a zero-compromise stance toward worry, and recognize that spiritual victory over anxiety comes only when we treat it as disobedience to God's clear commands rather than an excusable mental health issue.
