Are you running your life on high-functioning anxiety? You believe worry is your safety net—a crucial tool for planning and strategy. But Jesus calls it functional atheism.

In this powerful message from the Overflow series, Pastor Léonce Crump Jr. challenges the idea that you can control your future by sacrificing your present peace. Drawing from Matthew 6:25-34 (The Parable of the Birds), he diagnoses anxiety as a spiritual misdirection—a sin that replaces the necessity of seeking God’s kingdom with the futility of chasing self-provision.

If you are tired of the anxiety treadmill, watch and discover the simple but radical shift that releases you from the burden of self-reliance and grants you the overflow of peace.

In This Message, You Will Learn:

• The three logical reasons why worry is futile (The Bird Test).
• Why anxiety is functional atheism (a failure to trust God's track record).
• The ultimate Kingdom strategy for provision (Matthew 6:33).
• How to stop hoarding resources out of fear and start giving extravagantly out of trust.

In this message, Pastor Leonce confronts the lie of enough, the false belief that just a little more money, success, or security will finally satisfy us. Preaching from Luke 12:15–21, the parable of the rich fool, he exposes how the pursuit of “more” often leads to spiritual emptiness instead of peace.

This sermon invites believers to rediscover contentment in Christ, embrace generosity, and live free from the anxiety of materialism. If you’ve ever struggled with finding peace in your finances, career, or possessions, this message will speak directly to your heart.

What does it mean for a church to truly thrive? In this message from Acts 13:1–12, Pastor Leonce unpacks how the early church at Antioch became a launchpad for mission rather than a monument to comfort. A thriving church isn’t defined by size or stability. It’s marked by obedience to the Holy Spirit and a willingness to be sent.

Through the story of Barnabas and Saul (Paul), this sermon will challenge you to step out of your comfort zone, embrace a multiethnic, Spirit-led mission, and confront spiritual darkness with the truth of the gospel.

At United Church, this message fuels Overflow Sunday, launching a second service not for convenience, but for Kingdom impact. It’s a call to move from maintenance to mission, from comfort to calling, and to see Atlanta transformed by the love of Jesus.
