OVERCOMING FEAR (2)

(Message by Tanny Keng)

1. Overcoming

a) Whenever we think of the word, motivation, we think of the sports world.  We may have been a sports fan for our entire life.  Motivation is often a big part of which team wins or looses a game.  Coaches will often credit “motivation” when they win and likewise will say there was a “lack of motivation” when they loose.  

b) Motivation is not something that can be measured but each of us knows exactly what it is.  Sometimes we may be motivated to do things in our life and we follow through on a commitment or promise.  Other times we can also feel the “lack of motivation” in our own lives.  

c) The Bible is filled with words that not only challenge us but give us motivation to overcome obstacles in our lives.   

Isaiah 41:13 
For I, the LORD your God,  hold your right hand;   it is I who say to you, “Fear not,  I am the one who helps you.”

2. Fear

Matthew 10:28 
And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.

1 Peter 3:13-14 
Now who is there to harm you if you are zealous for what is good?  But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you will be blessed.  Have no fear of them, nor be troubled. 


The End ...
