The Grip of Fear or the Growth of Faith
David Cawston
I Kings 11:29-38; I Kings 12:26-33


Have you ever panicked? Have you ever been so anxious that you have made stupid decision? I have! Let me share with you a message this morning about the destructive and constructive sides of emotion. God has a special message for you today to bring release in your life. Let God speak to you though this message this morning.

Fear and Faith are two powerful forces. They are emotions that we all have to deal with.

Fear can cause you to lose perspective. It can cause you to react instead of respond.

Faith on the other hand can enlarge your perspective. It can cause you to respond because of a greater vision rather than react. Illus. Jesus and Jiarus

Keep on believing

You can chose to walk in fear or to walk in faith! How are you walking today!
