Trust - Faith without Fear
Thursday, January 30, 2014

Trust ! !
Matthew 14:24-33

- Introduction : Welcome to #Bgr8 Greatness Inside and Out!
• We are assuming you all want to be Great. !
• In our context Greatness begins on the inside!
• Greatness is not Fortune and Glory!
• To be great we must shift our thinking to coincide with what God has called us to.!
• This is what we believe: Greatness is possible, but it comes from the inside out!
- Greatness is attained when you move your principles to actions -Romans 12:2!
- Today we are beginning the journey to greatness inside by looking at trust. !
- In order to illustrate what Trust is we must think back to when you were a child!
• Kids believe they can do anything and also that God can as well (Slide of Trust/
Fear Bar 1)!

• My Parachute story!
• This is where my life changed and I began to recognize fear!
- At some point early in life fear overtakes our trust (Slide of Trust/Fear Bar 2)!
• Are you afraid of something? !
• What would you do if you weren't afraid?!
- I want to invite you to TWEET us what life would be like if you weren't afraid. !
• Use the Hashtag #Bgr8Trust!
- anytime during the message, I will not be offended if you pull out your phone or tablet and tweet something that comes to your mind. !

- Here is a quick video of some of you who answered that question last week. !
- Video of people with signs!
• THE BIG IDEA: TRUST IS FAITH WITHOUT FEAR!

Thursday, January 30, 2014

• In life we all have things that cause so much fear we become paralyzed!
• As an Adult we must recognize the fear in our lives and overcome it and thus restore trust!

• This is not a trust in yourself, but in God!
- God of course has an answer to all this fear. Its illustrated over and over. Moses,
Jeremiah, Josiah, David, Noah!

• They were all afraid of either the task ahead, the possibility of what it might lead them in to or what people might say about them because of what they had to do.!

    Nadine Gordimer's Fear

    Fear often becomes our worst enemy when it makes you become irrational and stops you from thinking clearly. First of all, fear can make us become overly cautious, to the point where it causes harm. In Nadine Gordimer’s novel “Once Upon a Time” a family builds a barbed wire wall because they are so afraid of the robberies and the boy decides to explore the fence and dies from being shredded by the wire “(the boy) dragged a ladder to the wall, the shining coiled tunnel...with the first fixing of its razor-teeth in his knees and hands and head he… struggled deeper into its tangle.” (Gordimer, 6 ). The family built the fence to protect themselves but it only ended up hurting them. The family’s fear ended up destroying them. Throughout my life,…

    Fear Of Fear In Life Of Pi, By Yann Martel

    There is the fight or flight that every living being uses, animal and human. Humans often have other bodily reactions to fear, such as fast heart rate, sweaty palms and many others. Often times, the same person can have different reactions to different situations. For example, when I take a big test or write an essay, my hands begin to sweat. Not only does this help me calm down, I am able to focus on the task at hand. I have had a lasting fear of “The back room” in my house, it is a room that is unfinished and is used for storage purposes. I fear the room because it has a decent amount of old stuff, the room is dusty, and it is a dwelling for many arthropods and arachnids. I do not hate the room itself, because it holds the water heater and all the tools to make my house work smoothly, but I fear what lies behind the boxes, the old board games, and the unknown inside it all. Every time I have to go back in the room, I shiver and shudder and pray that there is not any sudden movement that passes my feet. While I shiver at the thought of bugs and the unknown I also have a terrible fear of heights. My fear is so bad I can barely go on the final step of a six foot ladder. I refuse to go into the attic and I scoff at the idea of helping my sister put Christmas lights on the roof. When I do come to a situation when I am on a rooftop or on a mountain overlooking a valley, not only am I…

The child develops the stability of trust with mistrust depends mostly on the quality of motherly relationship. the basic psychosocial attitude to be learned at this stage is that you can trust the world in the form of your mother, that she will come back and feed you, that she will feed you the right thing in the right quantity at the right time, and that when you are uncomfortable she will come and make you comfortable, and so on (Evans & Erikson, 1967, p. 15).…

    The Construction of Fear

    Firstly, fear can transform society by people becoming over-protective about events in their everyday life. Barry Glassner gives an example of the child-like folktales of the bogeyman and monster told to children at their bedtime. This fear is the behavior that prevents children from getting out of their beds at night. The fear of external dangers of a child’s curiosity.…

    Erickson stages of development and health assessment

    Children begin to learn the ability to trust others based upon the consistency of their caregiver(s). If trust develops successfully, the child gains confidence and security in the world around him and is able to feel secure even when threatened. Unsuccessful completion of this stage can result in an inability to trust, and therefore a sense of fear about the inconsistent world. It may result in anxiety, heightened insecurities, and an over feeling of mistrust in the world around them.…

    Critical Lens

    Trust is a very valuable thing is one’s life. Without trust, it is next to impossible to go through life. Graham Green happens to agree with this as she had once said, “… it is impossible o go through life without trust…” One can interpret this quote as trust being an essential aspect to life and in order to go through it, there must be someone or something a person can put his or her faith in. Two works of literature that reflect this quote are The Fault in Our Stars by John Greene and A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry.…

    Trust

    Trust is the very thing that everybody in this world desires, or at least should desire from one another. Who wants to have a friendship or relationship without trust? Nobody does. Without trust, there is no friendship, and without friendship, there is no love. I believe that trust is an even greater compliment than to be loved! I believe George Macdonald said it best when he stated "To be trusted is a greater compliment than to be loved." When I read this quote for the first time, I thought to myself, "Wow that is so true. How can you be loved if you are not trusted first?"…
