INTRODUCTION
  • Are you a scary movie person?  Why or why not?
  • What is the best scare prank you’ve ever seen or participated in?

Fear is a natural human emotion.  We are all made intimately familiar with it from our earliest experiences.  Many of us even find entertainment or humor in the adrenaline rush that accompanies fear.  However, there is a fear that freezes and harms us thereby robbing us of the more amazing life God has in mind for us.  


STUDY  [tap on scripture to read]

HAVE A VOLUNTEER READ  Psalm 27:1-4 
  • When you think about your future, what potential reality or life disaster scares you most?
  • How does God help you combat your fears?

Jesus didn’t come only to save us from our sins.  He came to give us life to the full.  He came to give us back what the scary and destructive things of this world take from us.  May we embrace true salvation that gives hope for the future found only in Jesus!


HAVE A VOLUNTEER READ  Romans 8:14-16 
  • Why is it significant to be considered a child of God?  In other words, what difference does that title make?
  • What privileges do you have as a child of God that someone who is only a worshiper of God would not have?

To worship God is amazing!  To be considered a friend of Jesus is humbling and so special.  But to be called a son or daughter of the King… wow!  I can converse with such intimacy.  I can petition without hindrance.  And I can represent my Father as one He calls and protects as His own!
