“Fear Not” is a FVChurch Spring 2024 series about how to handle fear. Why does perfect love cast out all fear? If God has not given us a spirit of fear, why am I still so scared? What did Jesus teach about how to manage it and overcome it?
Read:
Isaiah 41:10 - Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
2 Timothy 1:7 - For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.
1 John 4:18 - There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love.
Psalm 34:4 - I sought the Lord, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears.
Joshua 1:9 - Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
Proverbs 29:25 - The fear of man lays a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is safe.
…that Jesus would help us cultivate a fierce PASSION for Him and His Word this year!
…that God would increase FV's ability to take care of our staff and property well
…that 2024 would be a year of reaching people with the Gospel!

Get pumped up!
As partners in ministry, you are disciple-makers! We want to empower you and get you all the tools you need.
The “Pathway” is all about intentionally making disciples of Jesus Christ! Most people bounce around and take these steps all out of order—that’s okay! The order is just an “ideal situation” for someone who is brand new to faith, brand new to FV, and assimilating into our church from the outside, in. If you’ve brought a friend to church lately, awesome! Now, help them move through these steps, and become a disciple of Jesus, not just a fan of church.
