I Will Not Fear

Fear isn't all bad. For example, the Bible tells us that "the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom" (Proverbs 9:10). Fear is programmed into your nervous system and gives you the survival instincts you need to prepare you for danger. Fear is unhealthy when it makes you forget who you are in Christ. It can cause you to run, hide, shut down, or be more cautious than you really need to be to stay safe. It's unhealthy when it prevents you from doing things you should be doing and would otherwise enjoy.

This is the first message in our brand new series called "A New Year Without Fear ." This series should help remind us of what God has promised to those who love Him even in the face of challenging and scary circumstances.
