Part 1: Will I Be Afraid?
FEAR AND FAITH – PART 1
WHAT FEAR DOES TO YOU:
1. WE LIVE BY FEAR, NOT FAITH.
“Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in Me.”
John 14:1 (NLT)
“I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid.”
John 14:27 (NLT)
“For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.”
2 Timothy 1:7 (ESV)
2. WE LIVE SELFISHLY, NOT SACRIFICIALLY.
“Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves.”
Philippians 2:3 (NLT)
“And all who believed were together and had all things in common. And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need.”
Acts 2:44-45 (ESV)
“And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.”
Acts 2:46-47 (ESV)
3. WE HIDE GOD’S LIGHT, INSTEAD OF SHINING THE LIGHT.
“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.”
Matthew 5:14-16 (ESV)
“And he answered, ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.’”
Luke 10:27 (ESV)
• Pray that we give help and hope to our neighbors.
“When I am afraid, I put my trust in You.”
Psalm 56:3 (ESV)
