THIS WEEK’S MESSAGE
November 27- Dr. Dick Foth on Fear.

Dr. Foth first talked about the concepts of preparation and anticipation (read Luke 1:1-25 and 1:57-67 and 1:80) through the story of John the Baptist’s birth. Dr. Foth then went on to talk about fear and how even the most God-fearing, God-loving people have moments of fear (read I Kings 18-19). But the three keys to overcoming fear is love, sound mind, and power- as relayed from God.

I John 4:18:

18There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

NEXT WEEK

December 4- Dr. Dick Foth

DOWN THE ROAD
December 11 & 18- Chronicles of Narnia series (Pastor Mark)

And in case you missed it yesterday, the Seattle Seahawks improved to a NFC-leading 9-2 record with a 24-21 overtime win over the New York Giants.
