Sermon Audio

 

Sermon Outline:

  1. Bad Fear
  2. Good Fear

Reflection Questions:

  1. What are 5 specific ways fear governs your life.
  2. What sort of fears governed the Rabbis of Jesus’ day? How do you see Jesus not being governed by the typical fears of His colleagues.
  3. How have you been enticed by illusions of safety & control?
  4. In Psalm 25 David says, “The friendship of the LORD is for those who fear Him.” How have you experienced good fear/friendship with God? …What stories or analogies have helped you embrace this mysterious and munificent paradigm (e.g. Aslan)?
  5. How have you embraced who God says you are (even if it has been extremely costly)?
  6. How have you embraced who God says He is (even though He is overwhelming and inscrutably enigmatic …see Isaiah 55:6-9; Habakkuk 3; Romans 11:32-36)?
