Episode 317: What Are You Afraid Of?

Author: Travelers Rest United Methodist Church September 14, 2025 Duration: 58:43
14th Sunday after Pentecost September 14, 2025Sermon: What Are You Afraid Of?Scripture: Isaiah 43:1-3This Sunday we begin a new series, Fear.Fear is something we all know—whether it’s fear of failure, fear for our loved ones, fear of the unknown, or fear of not being enough. But scripture reminds us: “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine.” (Isaiah 43:1)In this first message, we’ll look at God’s promises in the midst of our fear and discover how His presence reshapes the way we face life’s challenges.As you prepare for worship, take some time to reflect on these questions:What fears have been most present in your life lately?How have those fears shaped your thoughts, words, or actions?Where have you experienced God’s presence breaking through your fear? Come ready to bring your honest fears before God—and to hear His words of comfort and strength.Sunday Worship Schedule 8:45 AM – Contemporary Worship 10:00 AM – Sunday School 11:00 AM – Traditional Worship
