Overcoming Fear Through Faith in Christ
Overcoming Fear Thru Faith in Christ
Matthew 9: 14-17
Though much can be gleaned from these scriptures, we see one central theme:
The New cannot mix with the Old. You cannot patch holes in the Old Covenant with the New Covenant.
Jesus was challenging the people with change in their paradigm. They were not willing to give up what was comfortable and familiar for the Truth.
We must break free from the fear of change.
The Pharisees were afraid that everything will change if they accept the Lords teaching. They just wanted things to be they way it's always been!
The only way to break free of the fear of change is to put your trust in God!
We must be willing to defy tradition.
One of the things that cripple us is the traditions of man.
People who are married to the past cannot embrace the future.
You and I need to be open to what God is doing.
Our faith and walk with God should not be determined by what makes us comfortable but rather by what pleases Him.
We must ask the Spirit to reveal His strategies.
The church cannot and will not move forward without God given strategies.
What is old must be renewed by the Spirit,
What is outdated must be remodeled,
What is ineffective must be replaced.
God wants to do a new thing. Let's not resist it!
