The Nature of Evil Part 5

 

Psalm 121

 

Key Understanding:

We worry about the things we love.

Key question:

What do my fears say I love?

Key problem:

Worry chokes out life, because worry looks for control.

Key Truth:

God does not cushion us, He keeps us.

The Nature of Evil Part 4

Key Understanding:

Fear and Faith are both acquired.

• Fear reminds us of our limitations.
• Faith trusts in God's ability.

Types of Fear

• Imaginative fear says, "What if I..."
• Irrational fear says, "How will I..."
• Rational Fear says, "I will..."

But when I am afraid, 

I will put my trust in You.

Ps. 56:3

Communion combats fear by reminding us:

• By faith I am accepted.
• By faith I am secure.
• By faith I am significant.
