At some point in all of our lives we must each deal with anxieties. We should however, learn positive ways to deal with this sometimes-problematic feeling. To put this into context with the today’s Scripture, anxiety is an emotion that is a result of a long expected event. Today’s sermon’s, “What Just Happened”, and “What is Next” is a look into how the early church handled their dilemma of anxiety, and how they channeled it into excitement with the providential help of God’s Word.

This morning we are going to examine the fact that life has many twists and turns to it, as most of us are aware. Things happen that we just do not understand no matter how hard we try! Yet amidst the struggle of wondering “What Just Happened”, there are certain truths that can give us the understanding and direction we need to anchor us during these struggling moments.
