FEAR FACTOR | Joe Smith - Mosaic

About this sermon

This week, Pastor Joe Smith brings a challenging new message as he invites us to move past the fears we have and into the promises God has made to us. Though at times our fears can be overwhelming to us, we have the choice to either let them rule our future or simply be a part of journey. Every person deals with fear in their life. But God helps us see with eyes of faith and gives us strength to move past fear and into our promise land. In Numbers chapter 13, Moses sends a group of 12 Israelite spies to Canaan to give a report of what the promise land was like. God had promised them this land and now they were preparing to step into it. But only two spies sent back a positive report’ the other ten were overwhelmed by the obstacles that were in the land. The two spies, Joshua and Caleb, saw the land that God had promised them with eyes of faith. The other ten spies were seeing through eyes of fear. Pastor Joe reminds us that when we choose to believe our doubts more than God’s promises, we are choosing to live in our own wilderness instead of in God’s promises. And though faith does not remove the obstacles out of our way, when we live in faith, we have eyes to see how God is making a way through the difficulties. If there is a promise in your life that God is asking you to move towards, but you need the faith to take the next steps, this message will encourage you to focus on the promises God has made to you instead of being overcome by fear.
