As many of you have heard; I hear the Sunday sermon many times in my mind before I ever stand up on Sunday to deliver the message.  Often, I have gone over it so much that I am numb to it's effect once I deliver it. Yesterday was very different.  It was as if I was sitting in a seat.  I felt the laughter of my childhood stories, and to be clear, Monica is not Laura.  I felt the fear in Gideon and the amazement of all 300 soldiers and the nation of Israel at large at God provided the victory.

Our Connection Group was great last night.  So many of us fear so many things that it paralyzes us in life.  I want to encourage you to read and memorize II Timothy 1:7 this week.  And if you are struggling with a "Spirit of Fear," I hope you would ask, "Where does it come from?"

You don't want to miss Sunday!
