Me: What are you afraid of?
Staff funny fears!
Two natural fears we are born with - falling and loud noises.
Staff fears learned...
Fear is a thief!
We exist… the number one reason we don’t have a dynamic relationship with Jesus is FEAR.
Review STOP THE DRAMA - compare, complain, excuses
We: To stop the drama we must stop living in fear.
Ill: FEAR can be passed on… little girl on airplane.
If you live in fear then there is a high likelihood your kids will live in fear.
We don’t say take a risk today.
Exercise big faith.
NO we say, BE CAREFUL
We will create a culture of fear and anxiety and it robs us!
On the other hand - Trust is contagious.
Big faith, big risk can also be carried on.
WE CAN PASS ON FEAR OR TRUST

God: Jesus with the disciples… class was always in session.
Jesus put the disciples in situations that revealed their heart.
2 places in NT where Jesus lead the disciples
FIERCE, JESUS WAS SLEEPING, SAVE US, WHY ARE YOU SO AFRAID, CALM, WAVES OBEY HIM
A greater fear than waves and wind.
Jesus demanded fear more than wind and waves.
Who is in your boat?
Jesus is in my boat!
I’m greater than your fears.
27 The disciples were amazed.
“Who is this man?” they asked.
“Even the winds and waves obey him!”
They are afraid of the situation and the solution.
What!?!
v. 27 DONT BE AFRAID, TAKE COURAGE, I AM HERE
He told them...
What to do.
Who He was.
How to feel.
He is teaching them to have a reverence, respect that He is God.
Fear God more than circumstances.
God conscience v/s Self conscience
He who keeps his eyes on me will be in perfect peace.
(Scritpture)
v. 31 WHY DID YOU DOUBT ME?
DOUBT is the source
FEAR is the symptom
FAITH is the solution
Fear is a focus on self and faith is when you focus on Me.
You don’t have to be afraid, even when there is something to be afraid of.
v. 27
FEAR ONLY GOD - value!
HOW TO STOP LIVING IN FEAR
Fear God only.
“Fear of anything other than God is mutually exclusive to faith in God.” - Neil T. Anderson
Ramp up the aw!
2. Surrender to God daily.
v. 13-14 three commands SURRENDER YOUR HEART, PRAY, GET RID OF SIN
THEN
V.15-18 8 benefits
You want be ashamed;
you will be confident and fearless
Your troubles will go away like waters beneath a bridge
and your darkest night will be brighter than noon
You will rest safe and secure,
filled with hope
and emptied of worry
Who wouldn’t want this! Surrendering to Jesus is fantastic!
Jesus, you are the one that needs to be at the center of my life.

Love.
Sound mind.
Strong, want fall a part.
Fear is not based in reality.
Live in authentic community.
The disciples were afraid until after the Resurrection.
You don’t have to be afraid, even when there is something to be afraid of.
