How to Manage Our Fears (3 of 5)
Series: The Commotion of Emotions
Dr. Ernest L. Easley
Psalm 91:1-6
Now join me in the Hymnbook of the Bible: the book of Psalms as we continue our series of messages under the heading:
The Commotion of Emotions.
We began a couple of weeks ago learning how to manage our stress and then our anger; tonight from God's hymnbook we're going to learn how to manage our fears.

Evil Knieval, the dare devil stuntman was afraid of airplanes.
Augustus Caesar was afraid to sit in the dark.
Before we look at Psalm 91, I need to tell you what I have found regarding phobias or fea ...
