Part 2: Coping with Your Fears
Series: Where To Find Help
Stuart Briscoe
Hebrews 2:14-18

The ancient Greeks believed in a god called "Phobos," meaning (panic) "so strong and dauntless (as) to strike terror even into the heart of a hero." Phobias, or fears, still dominate people's lives-especially "thanatophobia."

I. The Fear of Death.

A. The reality of death.
1. Secular death. Hebrews 9:27
