Goodbye Fear

Goodbye Fear of Commitment

February 26, 2023 • Pastor Kevin Moore • 1 Chronicles 28:20

Whether it's a relationship, college degree, or career path, so many people are afraid to commit. But why? Why is it so hard to make a choice? In this week's message, Pastor Kevin Moore will tackle these questions head on and give you some tips that will help you both start and finish what is most important.

Goodbye Fear of Rejection

February 19, 2023 • Pastor Tim Veenstra • Matthew 10:28

Isn’t it nice to fit in, feel accepted, and be well-received? Unfortunately, for the follower of Jesus, that isn’t always possible. The nature of the Gospel, partnered with our calling to share the Gospel, is at times a recipe for rejection. Let us not allow the fear of rejection to keep us from answering the call of Christ in our lives!

Goodbye Fear of the Unknown

February 12, 2023 • Pastor Dave Engbrecht • 2 Timothy 1:7, Joshua 1:9

Every generation faces fears of the unknown—fears about the future. In the midst of turbulent times, as followers of Christ, we can live with courage. Yes, there are legitimate concerns, but they must not be turned into paralyzing anxiety. Throughout scripture, the message from God is simple: Fear Not! I will be with you!

Goodbye Fear of Failure

February 5, 2023 • Pastor Tim Veenstra • Deuteronomy 31:8

Have you ever been paralyzed by the thought and fear of failure? Do you hear the voice that says, “Don’t even try because you will inevitably mess this up.” Or the voice that says, “You failed before. What makes you think this time will be any different?” Or how about the voice that says, “You aren’t good enough, talented enough, strong enough, or holy enough…” The fear of failure is real and rears its ugly in head in many different ways. But the good news is that God did not give us a spirit of fear, so by the power of the Spirit, let’s say goodbye to the fear of failure. 

Goodbye Fear of Other

January 29, 2023 • Pastor Tim Veenstra • 1 Timothy 1:12–17

Relationship is the core of Christianity. We are designed for relationship. First and foremost is our relationship with Christ, but also with one another. Followers of Jesus, through the instruction of the Scriptures and the power of the Holy Spirit, should be relationship specialists. What fear is keeping you from relationship?

Goodbye Fear of Letting Go

January 22, 2023 • Pastor Kevin Moore • Matthew 9:9

For some time now, you've had a stirring. It's almost like a voice has been saying, "Something needs to change." Could it be that Jesus is calling you? Could it be that He is asking you to take a step and follow Him—follow Him to peace, follow Him to freedom, follow Him to something new? 

Goodbye Fear of Surrender

January 15, 2023 • Pastor Tim Veenstra • 2 Timothy 1:6–14

Why is it so difficult to give up control? Is it a trust issue? Do we fear being hurt, abused, or let down? Or could it be that we like to be self-made men and women? Do we like to make our own decisions, rules, and plans? Regardless of reasons, God calls every one of us to cease resisting Him and to submit to His authority.

Stir It Up

January 8, 2023 • Pastor Tim Veenstra • 2 Timothy 1:6–14

“For the spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.” Our minds are beautiful and yet also dangerous places. The ability to think, contemplate, and process is a gift, but it is a gift that the enemy loves to exploit. The enemy engages our minds with deception, lies, and fear. So, Church, our mission is to stay alert, take every thought captive, and live from a spirit of power, love and self-discipline.
