Sermon:           “Life Without Fear”

Theme:            Through submission to Christ and serving others with trust in God we grow into a confidence that frees us from worry about our future or for the issues in the world.

Purpose:          The congregation will seek to move from fearing because of their lack of control to trusting as they serve Christ.

Scriptures:       Colossians 1:11-20      He is the image of the invisible God, the first born of creation. He himself is before all things.

Luke 1:68-79   (the magnificat) God has given a mighty savior who will give salvation to the people, to give light to those who sit in darkness.

Questions:

What is our source of strength and confidence as Christians? What does it mean to us to “submit” to God?” In what ways do we acknowledge Jesus as having authority over our life? What does it mean to call Jesus our “Lord” and our “Savior?”  How do we find confidence and strength in the midst of the intimidation and fears of the world today?  How does our focus on Jesus’ lordship and God’s power become a comfort and source of hope for us in the midst of chaos and uncertainty? Can we share this authority of Jesus in a way that brings hope and peace to the world?
