About this sermon
Fear is a powerful force in our lives. It can keep us cornered and cause us to cower. Too often, it drives us away from experiencing the path God has for us. And one of the most devastating fears we have is our fear of commitment. We think if we don’t commit and if we keep our options open, then we’ll find what we’re looking for. Our culture applauds the lack of commitment. From month-to-month apartment leases to free agency in athletics, to escape clauses in contracts, to prenuptial agreements, it’s all about not having to commit. This message by Pastor Ed Young outlines the dangers of shying away from commitment, and gives us an in-depth look at the areas of our life that need commitment. Because when we commit the way God wants us to, we experience the blessings God has in store for us. Commitment Starts With God: The Bible says in Psalm 37:5, “Commit your way to the Lord. Trust also in him and he will do it.” Commitment means to pledge yourself to a stance no matter what the circumstance. Have you ever thought about how fully committed God is to you and me? Think about that just for a second. We have blown our commitment. In fact, if you go all the way back to the soils of the Garden, Adam and Eve understood God was committed to them, they were committed to God. God said, “Now, I’m going to test your commitment. There’s a tree in the middle of the Garden. Don’t eat the fruit on the tree.” What happened? The sinister minister cruises in, that’s the enemy, the evil one, the devil himself always tests, always attacks your commitment. Why? Because he knows what’s out there in your life and mine when we commit, that’s why he attacks it! That’s why our culture is so non-committal. - Commitment to the Church - Commitment to Your Spouse - Commitment to your Family - Commitment to Relationships Are you still on the edge, hesitant to jump in? Are you one of the ones who say they’re committed but only attend church once every three or four weeks? Are you searching for a better spouse or partner? It’s time to go all in. #fearless #commitment #sermons Fear of Commitment | No Fear November | Pastor Ed Young ------ Pastor Ed Young is the senior pastor of Fellowship Church based in the DFW Metroplex, he is also an author, and conference speaker noted for his creative communication style.
