Guest Pastor Tom Biang explains how faith and fear are two sides of the same coin and what scripture says about walking in faith versus letting making life decisions from a position of fear.

Hebrew 12:1 
* Lay aside every weight (encumbrance, things that slow us down, the weight of fear)
* Lay aside our sins
Hebrews 11:1 
Fear = anticipated pain, I think the future is going to hurt. Fear means that, deep-down, you don't really believe God's word is true.

Jim Carrey said "So many of us choose our paths as fear disguised as practicality." 

The Bible says 'Do not fear' over 100 times.
Romans 8:28 
If we really believe the Bible, what are we afraid of, really?

1. Know the promises of God?
In order to choose what is right, we need to know God's end of the bargain.
Psalm 84:11English Standard Version (ESV)

11 For the Lord God is a sun and shield;
    the Lord bestows favor and honor.
No good thing does he withhold
    from those who walk uprightly.
Keep a journal of God's promises. Many promises in scripture are conditional.

2. Start to understand your own heart.
2 Thess. 3:16 16 Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in every way. The Lord be with you all.
