Test Your Faith (James) No.4- Fear, Faith & Courage

GraceLife Sarasota

Have you ever heard someone described as “fearless”? Well, I am here to tell you, that that person doesn’t exist. From our first breath until our last, fear, big & small, is a relentless part of everyday life on earth that never goes away. Have you ever been afraid to ask someone a question, scared you might not get the answer you want? Have you ever experienced FOMO, afraid your life won’t be fulfilling, exciting, or pleasurable, or meaningful enough? Do you know what it’s like to be afraid of failure, failing yourself, or worse, someone you love & care about? Have you ever seen a certain number flash on caller ID, fearful it's likely going to be heartbreaking news? Have you ever experienced the fear of a real life-or-death choice? What about fear, what happens when you die? Have you ever wondered, if you had to choose between Jesus & death, if your faith would stand that kind of test? It’s a heavy topic I know, but this is exactly where today’s passage in James takes us, so we have to go there.
