Facing the Fear of Failure
Dr. David Davis
Mark 5:22-24; 35-43

I find no problem in trusting the Lord to do something great --- in some else's life.

Someone comes to me with a financial need, I find it easy to say, "No sweat, God owns it all...He can meet your need.

He keeps on and on until you are so frustrated that you finally give up and say, "Yep! You're right! It can't be done!"

What if God doesn't do this in my life? What if I fail? Who ever said you were a success?

Read Mark 5:22-24
