When Afraid, You Need to Experience God!

This sermon explores how believers can overcome fear and anxiety by actively experiencing God's presence, drawing primarily from Psalm 27. It argues that confidence in God stems not merely from intellectual assent but from a personal, covenantal relationship where God is known as one's light and salvation. The message emphasises the importance of wholehearted desire for corporate worship and beholding God's beauty as a source of protection and peace. Furthermore, it addresses the reality of spiritual dryness by encouraging believers to plead with God for His presence and to 'preach to themselves' by affirming biblical truths against the voice of doubt. The tone is pastoral and encouraging, inviting the audience to rely on Christ's faithfulness to find stability in a fallen world.
