Acts series: Bad Fear. Good Fear. - week 12

What do all of these have in common?

o Worry over what other people think of you.

o Desire to appear younger, fitter, smarter, holier, stronger, tougher, slimmer, healthier, wiser, or better than others.

o Feeling an inner desire to impress others with how much you know.

o Discouragement because you’re not getting the recognition that you deserve.

o At times feeling a desire to lift your hands or express yourself in worship, but choosing not to do so because you worry other people will notice you.

o Fretting for days when you find out someone is disappointed in you or doesn’t like you.

o Pressure you feel when someone asks you to do something, and you know you don’t need to do it or want to do it, but you you’ll probably do it anyway because you don’t want them to think bad things about you.

All these are "downstream" issues caused by one single thing... fear of man.

Today we'll discover the one thing that reduces fear of man and frees us to be the people God created us to be.
