Deen Salami, Guest Preacher
Deen gives us a wonderful message on Confronting our Fears using 1 Samuel 17:32-40.
Understanding the truth of scriptures and applying it is an affective way to confronting our fears. Simply knowing the scriptures does nothing to deal with fears we experience. We must confront our fears with the TRUTH of scripture.
The answer to fear is not courage. Deen tells us that the real answer to fear is faith because trusting in God is what gives us the courage to act in accordance to His will. But fear and faith have one thing in common but it looks different for each: focus. When you are fearful, you are focusing on SOMETHING. When you have faith you are focusing on GOD.
