The Faith That

Conquers Fear
Psalm 27:1-2
 INTRODUCTION
The heavenly Father wants to deliver his
children from fear. The book of Psalms
especially encourages us to put our faith
in God that we might overcome our fears.
“Yea, though I walk through the valley of
the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for
thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff
they comfort me” (23:4).
1. Fear is a current problem for many of us

a. We fear disappointment by others.

b. We fear the possibility of being eliminated
by the giant system of life that treats
people as numbers rather than persons.
c. We fear the possibility of a dreaded
disease or an untimely accidental death.
d. We fear financial insecurity.
 2. Our God wants to deliver us from the
bondage and agony of fear

“For God hath not given us the spirit of

fear; but of power, and of love, and of a
sound mind” (2 Tim. 1:7).
a. Fear is a thief of happiness
b. Fear robs us of the possibility of worthy
achievements in life.
c. Fear produces failure.
 3. The faith that throws off fear

a. The faith that throws off fear is the faith that

trusts God in the here and now (Ps. 27:1.
b. The faith that throws off fear is the faith that
trusts God because of yesterday (Ps. 27:2).
c. The faith that throws off fear is the faith that
trusts God because for tomorrow (Ps. 27:3).
 CONCLUSION
He responded to God’s movements toward
him. As he became aware of God’s will, he
sought to do God’s will. Second, he
deliberately sought the presence and the
guidance of God throughout all the days of
his life (Ps. 27:4).
You and I can have the faith that conquers
fear if we will respond to God’s movements
toward us and if we will deliberately seek his
guidance for our lives.
