No Fear of Death
By: Rev. Bob Weeks
Series: No Fear
Note:  This is the "full version" of slides that includes more Scriptures than were actually used in the audio sermon.
In the early 20th century, Americans often referred to Alaska as "The Last Frontier." The 1960's television show "Star Trek" referred to space as "The Final Frontier." For most of us, the ultimate frontier is neither the wilderness of Alaska or the wideness of space - it is the withering, daunting reality of death.
       Does the fear of death and dying drain your heart and spirit of an enthusiasm for life? Have you adapted to this fear by careful avoidance of the subject - or have you allowed God and his word to instruct and reassure you that death has indeed "lost its sting" through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. This is the final in our four-part series: "No Fear."

    Financial security is our culture's most worshiped idol. The threat of financial impoverishment hangs over the elderly and "almost-elderly." Forecasts of drastic cuts in government programs; the collapse of investment funds; and an uncertain future for our nation's economy multiply the stress.
           This Sunday's message looks at the ways in which our worries and fears about financial security subvert our faith. The Scriptures have very specific principles for the handling of wealth, as well as reassurances that even in the toughest of financial times we can know a peace and assurance of God's true blessings that are beyond the world's understanding.
           Pastor Bob recounts the fearless faithfulness of Joseph in Genesis, as he relies on God in all circumstances, and shares a number of New Testament Scriptures to remind us that while none of us is guaranteed material prosperity, we are all guaranteed God's providential love.

    Series: No Fear
    Are you someone who lives in fear of others' opinions? Do the fads and trends of society dictate your decisions? Do you feel comfortable "marching to your own drummer" or do you constantly hold up a finger to see which way the wind is blowing before making a decision?
           If you struggle with the fear of being judged and criticized by others; if you can't bear the ostracism that sometimes comes with being true to yourself and your beliefs, this Sunday's sermon "No Fear of Judgment" is for you.

    PDF File of Sermon Slides:  Fear of Failure

    This Sunday we began a four-week examination of four universal fears that dominate the lives of human beings: the fears of failure, of judgment, of poverty, and of death. Over a hundred times in the Bible we are told to "fear not." Unreasonable fear can dominate our hearts and minds to the point that we are unable to act with faith in God's providential care. Our January sermon series will explain how these fears battle with God's Spirit for dominion over our hearts and - when allowed to grow unchecked - can lead to a paralyzing impotency that robs us of the joy and power of our life in Christ.
           If you or someone you know struggle with one or all of these fears, I hope you'll join us over the next four Sundays. By God's grace you may hear a word of encouragement that will make an eternal difference in your life.
