To Fear or Not to Fear (5 of 5)
Series: The Wait Is On
Cal Jernigan
Luke 12
The strength of your faith is revealed by what frightens you
1) Handling Animals
a) Watching people handle wild animals
b) These are some of my favorite shows
i) Steve Irwin - The Crocodile Hunter
ii) Ernie Brown - The Turtle Man (Call of the Wildman)
c) How do you know?
i) What to touch? What not to touch?
ii) How to handle? How not to handle?
d) There is something truly ''fearless'' about these guys
e) I would LOVE to hang out with these guys and to learn from them
i) This is what you do!

(b) Yet how many times have you failed to say a thing?
(2) The confrontations he would have
(a) I think those who watched him were just ''stunned'' at times
(b) ''I can't believe he just said that!''
ii) In handling his mission
(1) (I must go to Jerusalem where he will be crucified)
(2) In the Garden of Gethsemane he could see the mob coming for him.
c) Where we left Jesus last time
i) At a meal in the home of a Pharisee, who invited Jesus but also his Pharisee friends
