Fear (or Fanaticized Events Appearing Real) is the primary reason why people are reluctant to go and resolve conflict with people who have hurt or offended them. In this message, which is based on 2 Tim. 1:7, we will look at how... 1.) God’s perfect love and acceptance offsets a fear of punishment and rejection 2.) Sound thinking is foundational to silencing fear, because fear grows or is fended off by the thoughts we choose to dwell on 3.) The Spirit of Power gives us the ability to cope with suffering from human rejection

If you cleaned your parent's house and cooked them dinner and one of your siblings, who didn't help you, took credit for it would you be mad? Most of us if we were honest would answer 'yes'. Yet, at the same time, how often does God bless us with the ability and talent to do things, but we take all the credit, all the glory, as if He didn't have anything to do with it. In this message, we'll take a look at a variety of Scriptures that talk about God's glory, how we as humans are tempted to steal it, and why God won't share His glory with us.
