Psaumes 111:2

Worship is central to the Christian life. Here is a reflection on what it means to hold fast to faith in the midst of life’s trials...a message that inspires Christians to connect the dots between singing the song and living the life. Based on Matt Redman's new book 10,000 Reasons.

Do worry and fear overwhelm your days or seem to control your life? Learn what Jesus says about worry in the Sermon on the Mount and elsewhere.
