It’s exciting when God says “yes.” But what about when God says “no?” What happens when God says no to pursuing a job you’ve been wanting? How do you respond when God says no to the relationship you’ve wanted to have with that guy/girl you found attractive? Do you respond in anger or obedience? Do you respond in bitterness or joy?
Pastor Jeremy Johnson dives into the life and private anointing of David. He uses the early life of David to explain that we are anointed as children of God. We have a high call on our life, but just because people don’t see it doesn’t mean it’s not the truth. We are anointed as kings and queens, therefore we must protect the kingdom we have been given to rule over. Whether it be our home, our kids, our spouse, etc., we are called to steward our anointing, even when people don’t see it.
In stewarding your kingdom, giants will come. In these moments, we turn to God and ask Him how we can defeat the giants we face. It’s in these moments where God will sometimes suggest a new strategy as opposed to something you’ve already tried. How will you handle the “new thing” that God wants to do? Can you handle going through the roughness of a storm, or the thicket of the poplar trees, if it meant that victory was on the other side?

2 Samuel 5:17-25

In this week’s podcast, we continue this sermon series “I Will Fear No Evil” with three people who have walked through valley seasons and how God showed Himself faithful in their particular seasons. Cameron, one of our very own worship leaders earlier this year had walked through a tough season of loss. As he shared the emotions that arose during that season, he shared his revelation and perspective and how the Lord showed His kindness and goodness to him.

Andy, one of our Fearless fathers, speaks about his journey with his wife their fertility struggle. Andy shares his struggles in the midst of this season and how he fought back, but most importantly, how God showed up and worked a miracle through this valley season! Carlos, another amazing Fearless father and Fearless BND bassist, shares two valley seasons he walked through with his father and his son. Carlos shares how he felt and how God continued show Himself faithful to his father and his son and the words that God spoke that got him through that season! We pray this message encourages you and shows you that God can turn your situation around for his glory.

Happy Sunday Fearless family! This week Pastor Christy walks us through the Numbers 13 as we continue learning about the valley of decisions. When the Lord told Moses to send leaders to the Land of Canaan (promised to the Israelites) they reported that their was fruits but the people inhabiting the land were strong, powerful people. In this message we are reminded that in God’s promises, there will be fruit but there may also be giants. However, God did not call us to be grasshoppers— he called us to be giant slayers! As no obstacle is too great or too powerful for God.

Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision!    This week, Pastor Christy reflects on Joel 3:14.

Everyday, we are faced with decisions we have to make— whether big or small. These decisions we make add up over time and create our life. Pastor Christy points out that in the valley of decision there are three things: fruit, giants, and grasshoppers. To overcome the giants in the valley, we are given 5 practical tips for Godly decision-making.
