Believers' fears are past tense thru His finished work: of guilt and shame. into God’s family. the power of death. into God’s holy presence. EFCA SOF Article 5 – The Work of Christ: We believe that Jesus Christ, as our representative and substitute, shed His blood on the cross as the perfect, all-sufficient sacrifice for our sins. His atoning death and victorious resurrection constitute the only ground for salvation.* Applying God's Word to Life What are some of the greatest fears we face as humans? What fear is beneath each of these fears? When have you been afraid of getting caught because of what you did? How does Jesus relieve the fear of falling short in this way? What are some situations where our fear of rejection is triggered? How have you experienced acceptance from the ones who matter most? When have you witnessed fearlessness in the face of death? What disarmed the power of death for the one who faced it so fearlessly? What are tangible ways you’ve seen Jesus believers as they navigate the challenges in this life? How does it help you face your fears if you know you’re not alone? What does the Lord want you to believe or do differently as a result of His finished work accomplished for your good? How will you say “yes” to Him? Announcements No Sunday Service in Starbuck on July 5: Hope will be participating in the Heritage Days Community Service.
