Welcome to the second message in our series Old Things! Last week, we learned that God has new things for us, but it’s time to “put off the old self” (Ephesians 4:22) and step into the freedom He’s called us to.
In this powerful sermon, Pastor Ryan McVety tackles the Spirit of Fear—a tool the enemy uses to keep us from God’s promises. But here’s the truth: fear may be part of life, but it doesn’t have to control us. God has given us His Spirit of Truth to guide, strengthen, and equip us to step out in courage, even when we feel scared.
📖 Key Scriptures:
Galatians 5:13-25
Proverbs 9:10
John 14:17
💡 Highlights:
Fear isn’t always bad—it can inform us—but walking in a Spirit of Fear keeps us stuck.
- True wisdom starts with a fear of the Lord, not fear of man.
- Anxiety doesn’t define you—it’s not your identity or a life sentence.
- God calls us to “do it scared,” trusting that His strength is made perfect in our weakness.
This week, ask yourself: What spirit are you walking in? The Spirit of Truth leads to freedom, but the spirit of fear wants to hold you back. Step by step, walk in His power and promise!
