Intro

Fear is something we all deal with, and it impacts our lives in both healthy and unhealthy ways. A healthy example of fear is when you encounter a grizzly bear while hiking, whereas an unhealthy example of fear is worrying about the future. We all feel fear in different ways and towards different things. Within us there are many fears competing for our attention. So what are you afraid of?

In the passage today, Jesus talks about a few many fears that we all have, but He says that the only one we should fear is God. Today’s message is focused on discussing how we can live in a way that prioritizes the fear of God over every other fear that tries to compete for our attention and control our lives.
