"Every year about this time I get sick." "Money's always tight around now." "I knew it."
You wouldn't call that fear. Pastor Steve Cioccolanti would. He calls it a prophecy you speak over yourself, and Job found out what happens when it comes true.
Faith and fear look alike. Both reach into the future and paint a picture. One expects the worst before it has been seen or felt. The other expects the best according to God's Word. That is why the two cannot share a heart, and why fear may do more damage than the habits Christians would never touch.
Pastor Steve, who has walked his church through the ABCs of faith, applies the same ABCs to fear by way of a boat in a storm, a shepherd boy facing a giant, and a Hollywood rule about endings.
"Faith likes good endings."
You'll discover:
What the disciples rehearsed before they woke Jesus
The kind of remembering that keeps faith strong
The one thing a Christian should still be afraid of
If you live braced for the worst, watch now and change the ending.
