Summary
The central message is a warning against the folly of worry, which the speaker asserts is a grave sin that robs joy and weakens health. Drawing from Matthew 6, the sermon emphasizes that instead of worrying about daily needs like food or clothing, believers should seek first God's kingdom and righteousness. The speaker concludes by noting that each day has enough trouble of its own, and tomorrow is a mystery that God will take care of.

Worry is a serious sinThe scriptures and Jesus warn us against worry, which is just as much a sin as breaking any other command of God.
Do not be anxiousIn Matthew chapter 6, Jesus repeatedly commands His followers four times not to be anxious about their lives.
The physical and spiritual toll of worryWorry ruins today by borrowing trouble from tomorrow, weakening our health and destroying our effectiveness.
The context of earthly treasureThe command against worry is connected to Jesus teaching about not storing up earthly treasures or serving money.
Consider the birds of the airBirds are carefree and do not store up food in barns, yet God feeds them because they matter to Him.
Consider the flowers of the fieldGod clothes the wild flowers with more splendor than Solomon, so He will certainly take care of our physical needs.
Seek first God's kingdomWhen we make God's kingdom and righteousness our primary focus, He adds all our daily needs to us.
Tomorrow will take care of itselfEach day has enough trouble of its own, and worrying about tomorrow is like paying interest on an imaginary loan.
