This episode of Memorizing Scripture focuses on Matthew 6:33-34, where Jesus commands us not to be anxious but to seek God's kingdom first. Gordon shares his personal struggles with worry from childhood. However, he later realized that "Do not be anxious" is a command, just like the Ten Commandments.
Jesus teaches that we cannot serve both worry and God—our concerns about appearance, provision, and control must be surrendered to Him. Using examples from nature, Jesus reminds us that if God cares for birds and flowers, He will certainly care for His children. Worry does not add to our lives, but trust in God sustains us.
The key takeaway is to focus on today—not tomorrow’s uncertainties. Instead of worrying about things beyond our control, we should seek to glorify God in the present moment, trusting that He provides what we truly need.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
