In this edition of UBC "Sermon Discussions" Pastor Jason answers questions related to his Genesis 32:1-21 sermon.

The main idea for the sermon was: When you’re fearful of the things ahead, look to your faithful God instead.

Questions discussed in this episode: 

Distinguish fearing God vs fearing man?

What does it tell us about our mighty big God that he desires to carry our anxiety?

How should it look like for a Christ follower who struggles with fear and anxiety, act obediently according to the Word?

What if God doesn’t take away the anxiety, pain, or mental illness, when we cry out to God? I did what he asked, but my struggle is real and keeps getting worse.

Jacob’s fear not only affected him but his family. How does a spouse, family member, friend, etc who is directly affected by the fear of the person they love biblically respond (deal) with it?

Was Jacob wrong for making plans? Is there a way to properly plan while also trusting God at the same time?
