Christmas At Eastside | Week 3

About this episode

This sermon explores the theme of fear through biblical examples and encourages trust in God.

In this message, we look beyond the virgin birth to a deeper issue: fear. Through Mary’s response to God, Israel’s fear in the wilderness, and Jesus’ words to anxious hearts, this sermon challenges us to identify the “security blankets” we cling to and invites us to trust the God who is truly with us, even when we’re afraid.
