Monday’s thoughts

“Take Your Fear And Face It”

I get to preach the next four Sundays and I’m doing a series on how we can learn to live life well.

“Take Your Fear and Face It”  September 2nd

“Take Your Life and Live It”     September 9th

“Take Your Faith and Show It” September 16th

“Take Your Mind and Use It”     September 23rd

What do we have to fear? What are our greatest fears in life? I know it is different for everyone, but what are the fears we face? Let me name a few:

Intimacy

Death

Failure

Pain

Suffering

Snakes

The night

Violence

Success

Broken relationships

Not being liked

Not being loved

losing

Winning

The list is a long one. In the 6th verse of the 13 Chapter of Hebrews we are told, “God has said, ‘I will not fail you or desert you’, and so I can say with confidence: With the Lord to help me, I fear nothing: what can any human being do to me?”

In the sermon I will try to develop some approaches to life that enable us to take our fear and face it. If you have ideas on how to do this write me at charlesschuster@fcfumc.net. If you are willing to share your ideas with others click on the ‘comments’ box below. I look forward to hearing from you.
