SERIES: UNAFRAID | 4 WEEKS ON TRUSTING GOD
SERIES OVERVIEW (DOWNLOAD SERIES OVERVIEW)
An amusement park ride can spark joy or leave you feeling more than a bit scared. There are twists, turns, and sometimes, a little bit of pain, too. Those things are true in life, too, so how can we learn to overcome our feelings of fear whenever we experience them? In this 4-week series from the Old Testament, we’ll look at stories where people trusted God to help them through their difficult moments. From these stories, we’ll see that God can turn fear into courage, hurt into hope, turn wrongs into rights, and transform our worry into trust.
