The Fear Factory

"Tell him to stop worrying." These are the words from Isaiah to King Ahaz as the king watched enemies approach to attack and replace him on the throne. But these are also instructions we should heed personally no matter the circumstance. Jesus affirms this in the Sermon on the Mount, echoing the instruction but making the application for everyone: "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life." But that's easier said than done! And tonight - just as Jesus did in his sermon - we'll dig into Isaiah 7 and 8 to see just how we can do that in a culture that is often fueled and energized by fear.
