Fear the Right Thing | Matthew 10:24–33

Fear the Right Thing | Matthew 10:24–33

Author: Brandon Holthaus March 22, 2026 Duration: 1:00:43
What are you afraid of? In this message, Jesus completely redefines fear. He tells His disciples they will be rejected, slandered, and persecuted just like He was, yet He commands them three times not to fear. Why? Because most of our fears are misplaced. We fear people, rejection, loss, and not being taken care of, but Jesus makes it clear that we are fearing the wrong thing. Man can only touch your body, but God holds your eternity. At the same time, the God we are to fear is also our Father, the One who sees the sparrow fall, knows every hair on your head, and values you far above all creation. This message will challenge you to shift your fear from man to God and replace insecurity with confidence in His care. Stop fearing the wrong things and start fearing the right One.   #FearTheRightThing #Matthew10 #FearGod #DoNotFear #FaithOverFear #TrustGod #ChristianLiving #BiblicalTruth #EndTimes #RockHarborChurch
