YOU PICK - No Fear

Beginning this Easter, April 11th, we will begin a new message series that we are calling “No Fear”! We live in a time period right now where people’s levels of fear about the future are higher than they have been in some time. Times are uncertain. Whether it’s war, the swine flu, or the economy, fear is gripping our nation. But what does the Bible say about how to live in uncertain times with no fear? This series will give us the answers.

We will begin this series on Easter by talking about the fear of death. But the other five topics will be chosen by you. On Sunday, November 22nd, we will take an anonymous survey in all three of our Sunday morning services asking our people to identify the three greatest fears they live with when it comes to the future. We’re not talking phobias like fear of heights or fear of spiders. We are talking fears regarding the uncertainty of the times in which we live and how those fears impact our thoughts about the future.

On November 22nd we will give a survey listing fears and asking people to identify the 3 that concern them the most. Remember, fear of death is already a topic so it will not be on the list. Below is the list of fears that people can chose from or they can write in others that aren’t listed:

The Fear of Financial Failure
The Fear of a Failed Marriage/Broken Relationship
The Fear of My Kids Rebelling
The Fear of Being Alone
The Fear of Sickness
The Fear of Aging
The Fear of Terrorism
The Fear of Change
The Fear of Insignificance
The Fear of Disappointing God
The Fear that God/Heaven is Not Real
The Fear of Losing my Salvation
The Fear of Overwhelming Challenges

On November 22nd the church will pick the topics we will look at in our upcoming spring message series here at Grace Church, “No Fear!”
