2 Timothy 1:1-7: Leading in the Face of Fear

2 Timothy 1:1-7: Leading in the Face of FearPastor Lyle LaFountain April 12, 2026In this message from 2 Timothy 1:1-7, Pastor Lyle explores how believers can move past paralyzing fear and live with boldness by the transformative power of the Holy Spirit. Key Takeaways:The Spirit of Power: We are called to replace a spirit of fear with the power of God. The Spirit of Love: Fear often causes us to turn inward, but God’s perfect love is an outward-moving force. Following the example of Jesus Christ, who served rather than being served, believers are empowered to love and serve those around them.The Spirit of Self-Control: Godly character and holiness are not accidental; they require intentional discipline. Core Scripture:2 Timothy 1:7: "For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control."Reflection Question:Are you burying your talents and resources out of fear, or are you investing them in the kingdom of God?Connect with us:www.fbcoi.org
