Acts 18:1-11 NASB1995
Fear
· At some level, everyone deals with the issue of fear
· Fear can be a good and healthy emotion
· Fear can be destructive, crippling and unhealthy
· Paul struggled with fear when he came to Corinth (2 Corinthians 2:1-4)
· The enemy often uses unhealthy fear to keep us from doing the things that God wants to use to bring fruit in our life
Faith
· Faith is the antidote to fear
· Faith vs. Fear is a battle for your mind (2 Corinthians 10:5)
· We walk by faith when we trust in the character of God
· Faith allows us to settle in and rest, rest in who He is
Fruit
· There are many types of fruit Jesus wants to create in and through us
· The process of bearing fruit often takes time, hard work, overcoming difficult obstacles
· It is only by faith that we stay engaged so that the fruit will come
