Trusting God's Holiness: Overcoming Fear and Control - Pastor Joel, September 7

In this powerful message, we're challenged to examine the role of fear and control in our spiritual lives. The story of Moses striking the rock in Numbers 20 serves as a poignant reminder that even great leaders can falter when they let fear override their trust in God. We're encouraged to reflect on how often we might be making decisions based on fear rather than faith, even when the outcomes seem positive. The sermon emphasizes that God values our trust and obedience more than results, urging us to demonstrate His holiness in our actions. As we navigate life's challenges, we're called to prioritize our personal relationship with God, be transparent about our fears with trusted individuals, and long for communion with God more than control over our circumstances. This message invites us to surrender our fears and control to God, reminding us that true peace and joy come from trusting Him completely.
