One Thing: Fearless Faith in the Living God

We live in the most anxious generation in recorded history. Americans are more medicated for anxiety than at any point in human history. Fear has become the ambient temperature of our culture — fear of the future, fear of failure, fear of illness, fear of abandonment, fear of death. Self-help shelves groan under the weight of books promising relief. And yet the anxiety epidemic deepens.

What is the antidote? Not positive thinking. Not therapy alone. Not willpower or a better morning routine. David's answer in Psalm 27 is stunning in its simplicity — and in its audacity. He names God three times in a single verse: Light. Salvation. Stronghold. And then he asks two rhetorical questions: "Whom shall I fear? Of whom shall I be afraid?"

Do not misread those questions. They are not invitations to answer. They are declarations dressed as questions. David is not asking — he is asserting. He is standing before the court of heaven and the tribunal of his own anxious heart and making a case: with this God, fear does not get the last word. This Sunday Jay will take us through Psalm 27 and show us David's approach to fear and anxiety in the sermon, One Thing: Fearless Faith in the Living God.
