Don't be Afraid | Paradoxes, Part 4

Fear shows up in all kinds of ways. Sometimes it looks like panic, anxiety, or a loss of control. Other times it feels more like awe, standing in front of something bigger than yourself. The Bible repeatedly tells us not to be afraid, yet it also says that fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. So how can both be true, and what does it mean to trust a God who is both powerful enough to fear and loving enough to call Father?Jesus often said things that felt backwards. Ideas that challenged people’s assumptions and invited them to see life differently. In this series, we’ll look at some of the tension in His words and why what seems upside down at first might actually lead to a better way to live.📌 NEXT STEPS: Wherever you are, we want to help you discover what’s next.👉 https://www.npaustin.com/whatsnextNot sure where to start?
