Fear can be powerful and persuasive. But fear does not have to lead.
In this message, “Where Are You With Fear? What To Do When Fear Takes Hold” we confront one of the most common struggles in the human experience. From Deuteronomy 20 to the story of David and Goliath, Scripture reminds us that fear may be present, but it does not have to have the final word.
The people of God have always faced battles bigger than themselves. Yet again and again, God calls His people to courage—not because the battle isn't real, but because His presence is greater. The same God who goes before us, stands with us, and lives within us is the reason we can move forward without fear.
In this sermon, you’ll hear about: Why fear once had a legitimate claim on our lives What changes when we realize God is for us, with us, and in us How to bring our fears honestly before God What it looks like to face life's giants with confidence in God's power
This message invites us to take an honest look at where fear has been influencing our decisions—and asks a personal question:
If God has already gone before you, what are you still afraid to face? Because courage isn't the absence of fear.
It's choosing to trust God more than what frightens you.

In Ephesians 4:1–6, Paul called us to walk worthy of our calling by maintaining the unity of the Spirit — through humility, gentleness, and bearing with one another in love. That’s how we protect unity as individuals. But in verse 7, Paul turns to how we maintain it together as a church.

For the first three chapters of Ephesians, Paul has been showing us who we are in Christ, what we have received through Him, and what His grace has accomplished on our behalf. But when chapter 4 begins, the focus shifts. Paul moves from what we believe to how those beliefs should actually shape the way we live.
