“Do Not Be Afraid”
Speaker: Pete Briscoe
Text: Luke 2:8-20
Date: 12/11/20011
What?
Why would the Christmas season be one of the loneliest times of the year for some people?
Everyone is afraid of something? What are the things that you fear?
So What?
Once you have identified your fears, what do you do with them?
What does the Bible say about your fear struggles?
In Luke 2:9, why were the shepherds terrified when the angel of the Lord appeared to them?
The angel proclaiming the birth of Christ told the shepherds “Do Not Be Afraid.” What kind of assurance would you need in order to “not be afraid”?
What was the reason that the shepherd shared with the shepherds as to why they should not be afraid?
Throughout the Old Testament the hope of God’s people was placed in a Messiah who would change everything. Jesus changes everything. What is the significance of this for your fears?
Now What?
No matter what kind of person you are, Jesus is the only hope you have. Have you surrendered yourself to him?
Will you surrender your fears to Jesus?
What are some steps you can take towards surrendering yourself and all your fears to Jesus?
