Fearless Faith: A Time to be Afraid

Text: Daniel 5:1-31

There are many things that can cause us fear – snakes, spiders, flying, germs, certain social situations, etc. These fears can often be overcome and worked through because they usually represent minor things with minor risks in the grand scheme of life. However, in Daniel 5, we see a powerful and sobering illustration of a fear that awaits all who refuse to humble themselves, repent of their sins, and live for Jesus. Though many dismiss it and ignore it, there is clearly a time to be afraid. But through God’s Word, He shows us how we can have victory of this fear and live in peace and victory today.
