Power

Fear can drive people to grasp for control and use power to harm others. Ephesians 1 locates real power in God, who raised Jesus from death and placed everything under His rule for the church. Death does not have the final word. God holds people responsible for sinful choices while carrying out His good purpose. Knowing God loosens the grip of anxiety and self-rule, so men lead families sacrificially and everyone abandons manipulation for trust in Christ. Bible Reference: Ephesians 1:15–23 Preacher: KJ Tromp
