FACING YOUR FEARS
“Facing Your Fear of the Future”
Pastor Duane Cross | 10.12.14

“I’M AFRAID OF WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS”

1) Because life is so uncertain.

“Don’t brag about tomorrow, since you don’t know what that day will bring.” Proverbs 27:1 (NLT)

2) Because life is constantly changing.

3) Because life is uncontrollable.
