A sermon by Julie Eklund, Student Pastor, at Second Congregational UCC / First Presbyterian PCUSA Church of Rockford, Illinois

“Jesus doesn’t say not to worry. He says ‘Do not focus on the worries of this life.’…We must instead focus on what matters to God as we wait on Jesus… Stop [focusing] on what holds us down, but [focus] on what lifts us up.” – Julie Eklund
