Fear not - Rob Reimer

The sermon centers on the pervasive and destructive power of fear, which the speaker identifies as the primary obstacle to spiritual freedom and divine purpose, illustrated through the tragic story of King Saul, whose fear led him to act prematurely and disobediently, forfeiting his prophetic destiny. Drawing from Philippians 4:6–7 and 1 John 4:18, the message emphasizes that true peace comes not from human effort but from abiding in God’s perfect love, which casts out fear, and calls believers to self-awareness, identifying fear’s symptoms—such as mental racing, control, defensiveness, and anger—and uncovering its roots through the Holy Spirit’s guidance. The speaker outlines a transformative process: recognizing fear, confronting its origins, actively embracing the truth of being a deeply loved child of God, and choosing to act in faith rather than fear, exemplified by personal experiences of marital healing and spiritual breakthrough. Ultimately, the sermon invites listeners to make a covenant with God to abandon fear’s dominion, surrendering to divine security and living from the stable platform of Christ’s love, where freedom and faithfulness flourish.
