Excellent, thanks for posting. I miss R.C.
Thank you RC, miss you
Amazing, great teaching
So we know that anxiety is a sin. Then what about those who have anxiety disorders? Are they being disobedient or sinful for something thats not their fault? I dont think thats what Jesus meant by do not fear
Great word.
So good. Amen
God Bless RC!
RC Sproul helps me in my spiritual walk by reading some of his books and listening to his expository preachings and talks. Praise and talk God for Faithful man like RC Sproul. To God be all the Glory!!
Amen and amen!,! Leave our tomorrow in the hands of our God!!
This is so knowledgeably, carefully and lovingly delivered – incredibly helpful. When you listen to men who loved God and lived surrendered to Him, you just know!

Sometimes anxiety is a physical thing requiring meds. And not a lack of faith.
miss him. God Bless
A great mind missed by all familiar with him.

Thank you for these encouraging words.
I used to look up to celebrities when I was younger. Now I look up to men like John MacArthur and RC Sproul, but of course, all credit and glory goes to God.
Thank God for RC!
Love RC. My wife has always said, doesn't RC look like the cowardly lion.
Es como que cada vez que sentimos temor por algo podemos recurrir al Padre y decirle que tense la cuerda para recordarnos que El nos protege y nos sostiene seguros porque estamos unidos a la cuerda con un anclaje que no se rompe.
Brilliant
Amen Sproul. We tend to get too anxious about everything, we just need to let it go and trust in The Lord. If Christ is with us than who can be agianst us, there is no reason to fear, let our hearts not be restless. God bless you all.
AMEN
This is such a good teaching…so many good nuggets of wisdom for everyday life; spiritually potent.
God took me today to listen to this sermon! That was exactly what I needed to hear. Ligonier Ministries has been a great blessing to us here in Brazil.
STOP LISTENING TO LIARS LIKE TRUMP and false prophets!
So glad these are on YouTube
how can 22 people dislike this great presentation of the Word of God? thanks God He knows we are fearful and because he knows that he gives us courage and plenty of reasons to NOT be afraid
This is very misleading: the passage he is quoting is an instruction to those intending to obey the instruction to “take up your cross and follow me” – ie the very very few who understood the reality of Christ and Creation and chose to accept God.
It has nothing to do at all with day to day coping with stress.
Isn’t it AMAZING that only GOD ( through men like R.C.Sproul) can do for us that nothing else in this universe can even come close to do, to calm us ,relieve our fears, anxieties , and worries. Oh what anAWESOME GOD WE SERVE.
I LOVE R.C."s lectures, I have listened to dozens of hours. his intellect and capacity to think so profoundly has enabled me to also ,albeit on a lesser degree.
Something I've personally learned over the years is that there are times in our life when we feel like we are in some sort of trouble or a bad situation that no good can come from it. God sees into the future so far that we cannot possibly imagine. If we let Him, none of our troubles or tough times are wasted. Dont worry!
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
2 Timothy 1:7
Men have more nightmares because when women worry they can't sleep.
I miss RC 🙁
Though he is dead, yet he still speaks! The benefit of preaching the Word. So clear. So practical.
I do feel like most people's issues were from childhood and we cannot remember it. This was a great sermon.
100 th comment which is appropriate because R.C. was a perfect 100 when teaching the word.
For the last 40 years no preacher speaks about how we supposed to lead our lives as unmarried men with nonchhildren.
The feminists and bad economic opportunities have lead to massive single numbers in my generation
What a great man of God, this Lecture is a huge blessing for everyone. Thank you very much for sharing it. God bless you!!!
We are Saved by the Grace we show to others. “Forgive and you shall be forgiven.” Our judgments of others come back to us and make us afraid.
Amen thanks God it helps me a lot not to worry .God cares about tomorrow .Thank you so much for sharing this video.
The LORD bless you
Un amigo dice que para el la ansiedad es un ex, cuando lo llama prefiera no contestarle, así evita problemas.
I miss this great giant so much! God please raise up the next mighty oak that can continue RC’s teaching.
Thank you Ligonier Ministries. Great teaching. My favorite has been his teaching on the Holiness of God. I still have the VCR tapes. lol
He knows how the fallen human nature would do to each other. There is no changes since or perhaps before Sodom and Gomerah era and what human being are capable of doing though some may claim to be God believing. There actually have no difference and sometimes this type is even worse. That is why the verse, 'Fear not'. When we read on social media abt how young girls and boys were sexually abused, it makes what we had to go thru more bearable. If we kept asking why we surely would have gone insane. Honestly does not pay. That's something I learnt from the first church I attended. Trust no one especially the so called God's fearing people and those false prophets. Again and again it is proven to be true…..Anyway his preaching has a calming effect.
