Author Description

If you've been a Christian for more than a couple months you've likely heard the saying, "Perfect love casts out all fear." However, if you've been a Christian for more than a couple months you've probably already found out that fear, worry and anxiety are still in your life. But how can this be?Fear is a very real thing that we face, but oftentimes we respond to fear impulsively. We lack trust in God and His sovereignty and instead try to take things into our own hands. Overcoming Fear will help address the types of fears common to man of which the disciple of Jesus is not immune. However, we must first understand that fear isn't always such a bad thing: its intention is to drive us away from doing wrong and towards what is good and right. This Overcoming Fear workbook is a beautiful companion to the booklet and can be done in either a small group or in individual settings. Through questions and activities, this workbook will help engage your mind on a topic not often taught by the Church, by explaining God's character and reminding us to fear Him only because the fear of the Lord is pure and good. We are told in the Bible that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Not only that, but in rightly fearing God we are far more able to trust His love and the sacrifice of Jesus for our sin in far greater ways.
