Disarming Our Fears Series

Contributed by Billy Ricks on Feb 1, 2016

Fear has a way of consuming and controlling our lives as humans. Perfect love is the only thing that casts out fear. When we discover that we were chosen by God in Christ fear may be real in our lives but it will never rule our lives.

Intro: Fear has been a part of the human struggle since Adam and Eve first disobeyed God in the beginning. The first thing they did when God called them was to hide. Genesis 3:10 I hid because I was afraid! Everyone that is honest is afraid of something. Our fears may be reasonable or ...read more

When It’s Ok To Break The Rules

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Aug 25, 2019

Jesus healed on the Sabbath, and used it to make a point: God cares deeply, there's always a critic, and we are to live free from the chains of legalism.
