Invincible and Fearless

March 3 2019

We trust in the Lord. Therefore, in a world filled with evil, suffering, hatred, and persecution we are invincible as we serve God’s purposes. In a world divided by violence, terrorism, and war, we will be fearless endowed with supernatural courage by the Holy Spirit. 

Part of this sermon, especially the ideas of being invincible and fearless was inspired by and based upon the last two chapters of John Dickerson’s book, Hope of Nations: Standing Strong in a Post-Truth, Post-Christian World. Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan, 2018, Kindle Edition.
