Sermon Outline

A Christian Response to Fear
Psalm 56:1-4


1. Being fearful is a reality of the Christian life

…Because we live in a fallen world Rom 1:28-32

…Because we are fallen people Jer 17:9

…Because Satan is the determined enemy of our souls Rev 12:10; 1 Pe 5:8;


2. Being fearful is a reality, but God has given us a response


…We must be responsible (Lu 12:16ff; James 4:13; Prov 27:1)

…We must actively trust God (Ps 56:3)

This involves understanding the nature of God

This involves knowing the promises of God

…We must guard against pretending to trust God

by neglecting the means he has given us

while using sinful means to accomplish a goal

by saying he has directed us by false revelation or our own desires

by hoping in our own ingenuity, natural gifts or personal resources

Jesus did well to trust God in every aspect of life, from the smallest details to the cross. We cannot conceive a more difficult circumstance than the death Christ died on the cross. We will not face a situation for which God is insufficient so we would do well to trust him even as Jesus did.
