Seeking God in Our Fear

Jun 22, 2025    Pastor Matt Every

In this powerful exploration of fear and faith, we delve into the story of the demon-possessed man from Luke 8:26-39. This narrative reminds us that fear is a universal human experience, but it doesn't have the final word in our lives. We see how Jesus confronts the man's demons, bringing healing and restoration. The community's reaction of fear to this miracle challenges us to examine our own responses to God's transformative power. Are we, like the townspeople, sometimes too afraid of change to embrace God's work in our lives? This message encourages us to trust in God's presence and power, even in the face of our deepest fears. It reminds us that God is constantly working for our good, often in unexpected ways. As we navigate our own fears - whether personal, communal, or generational - we're called to remember that God's love and grace are always with us, providing hope and a path forward.
