Sermon 5: Facing Our Fears
Text: Psalm 18
Theme: To face our fears we must understand God is greater.
What is the difference between concern, worry and fear?
Concern (Phil 2:19, 20) & what we typically do
Consider what we can do & do what we can
Pray for help & wisdom
Trust in the Lord
Worry (Phil 4:6-8) & what we typically do
Continually think about it, dwell on it
Talk to others about what to do
Pray about it and then “hold on to it” worrying about it
U Telling someone to “stop worrying” doesn’t work. It isn’t helpful. You need to teach them the solution
U Your anxiety is understandable, but it is not helpful
Fear (Psa 18:4-6, 17) & what we typically do
Fight or flight
? What are the differences between worry and fear?
1. Fear is worry intensified and extended
2. Fear – you are being opposed by something that is too big and/or too strong
3. Fear – you feel that what you are facing is attacking you
Psa 18:46 The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.
