He replied, “You of little faith, why are you so afraid?”

Fear and Faith both depend on a future that HASN’T HAPPENED YET.

What are you afraid of? Identify it… Write it down… Own it… (Let God) Conquer it…

fear Where does fear come from? SIN (Genesis 3)

“Sin is what you do when you are not fully satisfied in God.“ –John Piper

Root of all sin: 1 st Commandment: No Other Gods

We fear God… and our gods! What are our idols? “That to which we give the highest good in our lives..” -Luther

Idolatry is what you do when you are not fully satisfied in God.

If only _____________, then I would be happy, fulfilled, and secure. I will do anything to get ________. What do I want to preserve or avoid?

What do I fear?

You fear the “opposite” of your idol. If you must have control, you fear losing control and unpredictability. If you must have acceptance, you fear rejection. If you must have recognition, you fear being overlooked. If you must have food, you fear hunger or limited choices.

If you must have a perfect appearance, you fear gaining weight or wrinkles. If you must have all A’s, you fear poor grades or mediocre performance. If you must have comfort, you fear hard work. If you must have money, you fear poverty.

When anything but God becomes our “idol”, our greatest fear is not having it.

The Progression of Idolatry Desire Demand Judge Punish

NEXT, our Idols affect others Example: A Parent’s False God

The Progression of Idolatry Desire Demand Judge Punish

The Cure Jesus Christ "Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus…" (Romans 8:1-2)

Desire Demand Judge Punish

Love God/Love Neighbor There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. 1 John 4:18

Acknowledge Repent Trust Live!

HOW? 1. Bible 2. Holy Spirit 3. Body of Christ

First Commandment: You shall have not other gods. What does this mean? You should fear, love and trust in God above all things
