God's All-Consuming Love

In this message, Pastor Jim asks the question, what do you fear? He considers how we are living in a culture of fear, and we may have become a prisoner of our fears. A way of life that is incompatible with the freedom found in Christ. In fact, fear is one of the very things that Jesus came to destroy as part of his saving work of redemption and launching the new creation. As explained in 1 John 4, our fears can be overtaken by the new life available in Christ. Our former way of life can be completely swallowed up in the love of God. Because, as it turns out, God’s love is indeed the real source of life. Fear can no longer exist where God's love is fully present.
