Scriptures: Psalm 23:4, 116:15, Matthew 10:28, Hebrews 13:5-6
Fear—we all know what it is. It is one of the most debilitating emotions known to the human race. Fear is unbelievably powerful. It penetrates the heart, it poisons the spirit, and it paralyzes the soul. It can affect you not only emotionally, mentally, and spiritually; it can even affect you physically. Most people, at some level, fear death. In this message from Psalm 23:4, Dr. Merritt explains that although we all have to face death, we need not fear it. In the text, the Good Shepherd tells His sheep how to face death without fear.
