Okay. No worries mate! What? You want a longer answer?

The home page will rank what it will rank. (Don't freak out yet.) However, how it will appear in the SERPs I think is the real question.

For sites that are structured as you describe, most search users do not necessarily come to the home page during a search. The articles are going to appear in the SERPs for any query simply because of keyword match, though it is possible that the home page will periodically out perform the article page. A home page that changes, will perform well- do not worry about that, but rarely will match the users search as compared to the articles.

Now for the good news. The more people who visit your articles and link to your articles, the better your site will perform overall and the more valuable the home page becomes. In your case, returning visitors will want to come to your home page to scan articles. So in the end, if not for search, the home page should do rather well for direct visitors. And that is the other side of the coin. A rather important one too!
