The Savior’s Prescription for Worry and Fear, Pt. 3 – Pastor Ascher
 
Luke 12:22 - 34
 
Worry in our lives is triggered either by a lack of understanding or a lack of faith.
 
People worry because they either don’t know what God has promised, they don’t trust what God has promised or a combination of both of those things.
