Summary
Are you ready to cultivate a faith that can weather life's most significant storms? Chip kicks off his series in this program as he dives into eight transformative Psalms that can empower your faith and help you conquer your fears. Do not miss this opportunity to discover how to harness strength through God's Word, break free from anxiety, and boldly face whatever challenges come your way.
Main Points
Three times God says, “Be strong and courageous”:- God makes a promise that His people will inherit the land. – A promised future
- God gives Joshua the resource that will give him power. – The Book of the Law
- God says, “I will be with you.” – My presence
- God's way. --Psalm 1:1-3
- The world's way. --Psalm 1:4-6
Three negatives in verse 1:
- This person doesn’t walk in the counsel of the wicked.
- This person doesn’t stand in the path of sinners. --Proverbs 13:20
- This person does not sit in the seat of scoffers.
- Bible reading: Though it may start as a duty, with help and discipline, it becomes a delight as you learn.
- Meditation: To engraft truth into your heart and life so you begin to think God's thoughts and look at the world through His perspective, seeing fears and challenges in light of His promises and presence.
- In a world where people are trying to overcome their fear, I will choose to thrive.
- God assures that following His path will produce a life of blessings and success over time.
- The wicked, like worthless chaff separated from wheat, will be blown away and rejected in judgment.
- God, the all-knowing creator, promises to shepherd those who reject the world's messages and say "yes" to Him through His Word, guiding them through mistakes as they seek a righteous life.
