Who's Afraid of Bad News?
Richard Bradley
Psalm 112:1-10
Bad news? We sure have enough of that these days don't we? Turn on the TV - pick up a newspaper and you'll see what I mean. The world is on fire out west. There's rioting in the streets of our major cities on a nightly basis. Racial unrest has rocked our society down to its very core. The stock market is like a bouncing football - radically unpredictable. No use mentioning the ''Covid pandemic'' - we're all pretty much aware of that ''little piece'' of bad news. Like a lot of people these days, you may be asking yourself this morning, ''What's next?''
The fact that there will always be bad news is one of life's inescapable truths. Bad news is part of the human condition.

However, he also discovered a life changing antidote for the problem of bad news and the fear it so often brings. He discovered that we don't have to be afraid of bad news because of our relationship with God.
