We typically think of fear as a bad thing. Afterall, the Bible repeatedly commands us to “Fear not!” But the Bible also describes a kind of fear we should embrace. Pastor Mike Fabarez talks about the fear that gripped the early church after Ananias and Saphira dropped dead at the feet of the Apostles.
True courage is rare. And when we see it, we may question our own spiritual resolve when we are confronted or censored. The early church thrived not despite opposition, but through it and Christians today are facing increased attacks to their faith that may cost them something in their lives.
Learn how the courageous stories of men and women of faith can bolster your confidence to stand up when you face opposition.
