Be Strong and Courageous - I Will Not Be Afraid!: God is My Rock and Protector, Part 2
Have you ever been genuinely amazed by something? Maybe it was a stunning sunrise or a sky filled with stars. In this program, Chip studies what it means to "behold the beauty of the Lord" and why this awareness can free you from the grip of fear. Hear how nurturing a sense of awe and wonder will change your perspective and empower you to live with more courage.Main Points
Declarative statement: I will not fear.
Psalm 27:1-3
You can feel afraid – that’s just an emotion – and choose not to respond to that feeling, but to act instead in a way that makes a difference, that is brave.
That word when we feel afraid and, yet, we act in the confidence of God, that’s called courage.
Psalm 27:4-6
The source of David’s confidence, despite danger, war, and odds was focus and passion.
David’s intimate knowledge of God’s character flowed from his personal worship and it transformed his perspective.
Psalm 27:7-10
David prays specifically and practically.
David’s basis: 1. I want You to answer me because when You told me what to do, I was obedient in the past. | 2. Please don’t forsake me and turn me away. | 3. Lord, I want you to know that if You don’t help, no one else will either.
Psalm 27:11-12
David’s prayer was two-fold: Don’t just deliver me, but bring me into a deeper relationship with You.
Psalm 27:13-14
David was tempted to be afraid, but he declared, “I will not fear,” because the Lord was his light and deliverer.
Wait = Where is your hope? Where is your confidence?
Courage is not the absence of fear. Courage is acting in spite of your fear.

Be Strong and Courageous - The Power of 'The Path': Overcoming the Fear of Failure, Part 2
Are you tired of feeling inadequate or fearing that you might disappoint others? Join Chip in this inspiring program, where he will empower you to face your fear of failure head-on. Learn to release the unrealistic expectations weighing you down, and discover how to step into the vibrant and joy-filled life God has planned for you.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
Two ways/paths to live:
God's way. --Psalm 1:1-3
The world's way. --Psalm 1:4-6
Verse 1: How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand in the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers!
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.
Verse 2: “But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and in His law he meditates day and night.”
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.
Verse 3: He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in its season and its leaf does not wither; and in whatever he does, he prospers.
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.
Verses 4-6: The wicked are not so, but they are like chaff which the wind drives away. Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous. For the LORD knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.
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.
