"I'm In My Bag" -Rev. Frederick D. Haynes, III, Ph.D

Main message: Jesus calls us to stop living anxious, overthinking lives and to "seek first the kingdom" — trusting God's provision and realigning our priorities through a soul reset so we can be mentally strong and live purposefully.

Key points:

• Success often brings stress and attack (illustrated by Hank Aaron); don't envy others without recognizing their cost.
• Jesus, in the Sermon on the Mount, addresses mental health and anxiety, teaching that inner strength comes from knowing God.
• Trust God's provision: if God feeds the birds and clothes the lilies, he will provide for his children.
• Do a "soul reset" — reorder priorities toward relationship with God, community, and what truly matters.
• Practical outline: live by right priorities, pursue a clear purpose, and hold fast to the promise God gives (priorities, purpose, promise).
