Bill Clark explores the fearlessness of Christ as we continue in our series studying Philippians 2:5 and Paul's admonishment to have the same attitude as that of Christ Jesus.

Fearless

Philippians 2:5 | Week 3

October 21, 2018 | Bill Clark

Philippians 2:5 NIV

Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus.


Fearlessness


To have a complete reliance on the promise of the Covenant God.


Isaiah 43:1-5 NIV

But now, this is what the Lord says – He who created you, O Jacob, He who formed you, O Israel: Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the Lord, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I give Egypt for your ransom, Cush and Seba in your stead. Since you are precious and honored in my sight, and because I love you, I will give men in exchange for you, and people in exchange for your life. Do not be afraid, for I am with you.


Does God have the resources to meet the needs of your life?


Therefore, can I take risks in my life for the sake of others?

Will I love people who don’t think like I do?
Will I speak kindly with a person who is afraid or perhaps different than me?
Will I trust that God is a superabundant God and there is enough for everybody in God’s economy?
Will I risk some of my resources for the sake of those in need?
