Do you ever despair at the condition of the church? At the seeming lack of impact that the church has and the people of God the lack of impact that the people have gone have in this world? Or at the persecution of God's people, at the infighting and abandonment of biblical morality of so many. How can it be? How long will this continue? We're God's people, after all. Has God abandoned his people? Why am I so weak and irrelevant? Why do I suffer? And the ungodly are so powerful and strong?

What do you fear- What makes you anxious- In this world in which we live, we will not be able to avoid the things that incite fear and worry. Jesus knew this would be a part of our experience and he spoke to his disciples about how to overcome their fear. In this series, we'll look at what the Bible teaches about fear and anxiety, and how to overcome it and instead be filled with boldness.--1. Anxiety's Symptom-a. Poor Patterns and Priorities-b. Poor Pondering-c. Presumptions of Mind--2. Anxiety's Source-- cf. Matthew 8-23-27, -Jesus Calms the Storm--- cf. Ephesians 2-11-22, -One in Christ-

The Apostle Paul addresses some division that has taken root in the Roman church after the Jewish Christians were removed by the emperor and later returned. Paul gives three points of instruction to the reformed body of both Gentile and Jewish believers -particularly for those who understand and follow the Old Testament law- for how to handle the issues caused by the Gentiles who aren't obeying the Law.-1. They belong to their Master, not you. -v3--2. Not only are they saved, but they are acting in faith. -v5-9--3. They are saved by Christ and that's his decision, not yours. -v10-12-
