I Surrender All - "My Fear"

"I Surrender My Fear"

Bryan Jones

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!  I hope today you are spending time with family and friends, and I hope you take a few minutes in the midst of the feasting and football to thank God for all of His many blessings in your life.
 
This Sunday we will wrap up our sermon series “I Surrender All” with one of the toughest things to surrender.  This Sunday we will talk about surrendering our fear to God.
 
Fear is such a powerful force.  As kids we are so free-spirited, wild-eyed, and joy-filled.  But as we get older it seems like that joy gets replaced by worry, and fear, and anxiety.  Studies even show that on average a person will spend 116 minutes a day having worried, fearful, or angry thoughts.  That’s nearly two hours a day!
 
And yet the most-repeated command we find in the Bible is this:  “Fear not.”  So why do we find ourselves so consumed with fear?  And how do we obey God’s command to “fear not?” 
 
This Sunday we will look at a story that is very familiar to many – the story of David & Goliath found in 1 Samuel 17.  From this story we learn that everyone but David had a vision problem.  Their eyes were fixed on the wrong thing.
 
Do you have a vision problem?  I hope you will join me Sunday as we learn how to correct our vision problem and surrender our fear to God.
