This weekend, Pastor Rob speaks on choosing faith over fear.
Highlights:
• Fear will cause us to draw inward.
The Christian response: Stay outward focused.
• Fear causes us to hoard:
The Christian response: Keep Giving!
• Fear causes us to DREAD the future.
The Christian response to dread: HOPE
• The best definition I’ve ever heard of anxiety is “imagining the future without Jesus in it.”
• Fear causes paralysis
Christian Response is to KEEP GOING.
• We have good reason not to be afraid. Our reason is a person and that person is Jesus and Jesus will never leave us!
• It’s not a matter of “if” you are going to be afraid, it’s “when”. How will you respond?
• We as Christians don’t have to deny that there’s trouble in the world.
