SERMON OUTLINE

WHY WE’RE SO AFRAID

Psalm 27:1-5, 13-14

The Anxious Generation

The antidote to fearfulness is presence.

Dwelling with God is the …

1. The light that dispels the darkness

□ The L ord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear? (v.1)

2. The shelter that offers you safety

□ For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent and set me high upon a rock. (v.5)

3. The confidence that overcomes your circumstance

□ I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the L ord in the land of the living. (v.13)

4. The request that welcomes you home

□ One thing I ask from the L ord , this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the L ord all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the L ord and to seek him in his temple. (v.4)

Daily Dwell: January 12-18
