“Stand Firm — Faith Over Fear.” draws from 1 Corinthians 16:13 and 2 Timothy 1:7, tracing the origin of fear to the Garden of Eden and showing how separation from God birthed fear in humanity.

The message unfolds through five key points:

Fear Is the Fruit of a Fallen Connection – Fear entered when trust in God ended; doubt replaced faith.

Fear Distorts Your View of God and Yourself – Like Adam, fear makes us hide from the very God who seeks to redeem us.

Fear Is a Thief of Focus and Fruitfulness – As seen in Peter’s story, fear distracts believers from God’s power.

Faith Restores What Fear Stole – Faith doesn’t deny danger; it stands firm in God’s presence and promise.

The Call to Stand Firm – Believers must remain unshaken, rooted deeply in Christ like a tree with strong roots surviving the storm.

An illustration of a tree in the wind reinforces the importance of deep spiritual roots. The sermon concludes with a powerful prayer and a call for courage, urging believers to reject fear and live boldly in faith, love, and divine strength.

Overall, the piece is motivational, scripturally grounded, and structured for preaching or devotional teaching, offering both theological insight and practical encouragement for disciples in challenging times.
