A collection of messages to help you bring words of refreshment and encouragement to your church body

Dear Pastor,

You'd probably agree that 2022 has been a bit different than any other year in the history of the world. 

Inflation is at unprecedented levels…

A significant war has started between Ukraine and Russia… 

Several influential world leaders have passed away…

Political tensions are at a fever pitch…

And yet, through all this, the kingdom of God remains a firm foundation for anyone in Christ Jesus. 

But that doesn’t stop some from falling into a time of worry or fear for what’s to come. 

According to a recent study by Barna, 40% of young adults (ages 18-35) cited they “often feel uncertain about the future.”

Whether you like it or not, there is a tremendous amount of anxiety in your pews about the events of the world, and what tomorrow may bring. 

To compound matters further, the annual end-of-year holidays are on the horizon, and the American Psychological Association consistently reports spikes in anxiety and depression around these times. 

The Bible teaches us never to be anxious about tomorrow. “So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today” (Matthew 6:34 NLT).

As a Shepherd, you will have to attend to many people this year who struggle to cope with these issues. 

The good news is that… WE HAVE THE GOOD NEWS!

Jesus came to bring words of encouragement and hope to all who are hurting or lost. 

For this reason, we’ve decided to create a “felt needs” sermon bundle of Pastor Rick Warren's messages that tackle many needs from financial stress, to anxiety, and depression.
 
Our team has hand-picked 11 sermons that will help you lead your church through the times ahead as a leader in your church. 

We’ve also discounted this bundle to make it affordable for everyone. 
 
Here’s what we're including in the bundle:
