Fear Not

Christmas 2022 at SoGF: Part Two

When we think back to that first night in Bethlehem, we often think of the joy and hope felt by so many at the birth of Baby Jesus. But when Mary first learned about the miracle of Jesus growing inside her, her primary emotion was fear. Can you imagine how scary this situation was for her? Can you comprehend the amount of faith Mary had to have to overcome this fear?

 

We also go through frightening times in life. We can let that fear control us, or we can listen, as Mary did, when Jesus says, "Do not fear. I am with you."

 

Watch Part Two of our Christmas services as our pastor Brian Kamstra talks about how we can find lasting peace in the middle of our fear.

Pastor Jose Lopez and his wife Paula have been faithful members of Spirit of God Fellowship for decades. Jose pastors our Spanish-speaking church Espiritu de Dios, and we had the privilege of learning from him at Spirit of God Fellowship as he asks the question "Where's Your Citizenship?"

My aim is to know him, to experience the power of his resurrection, to share in his sufferings, and to be like him in his death, and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead” (‭‭Philippians‬ ‭3‬:‭10‬-‭11,‬ ‭NET‬‬).

 

In this world where we are always looking for answers, Mathew James teaches that "It's Not What You Know; It's Who You Know."

In Matthew 19: 13-15, we read about an interesting moment in Jesus's life. 

 

People brought kids before Him, and while many people wanted the kids to get out of the way, Jesus saw things differently. He told the people to let the children come to Him, and lovingly focused his time and efforts on those children.

The community that we long for is ultimately found in the unity of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. God wants us to be one with Him just like He is One with His Son, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit.

Eight years ago, Brian Kamstra's first message as the pastor of Spirit of God Fellowship asked the question, "Are we willing to do whatever it takes to see the lost come to Jesus?"

When we come to Jesus, we are not suddenly where we need to be as a person or as a Christian. In fact, we spend a lot of time trying and falling and getting back up and falling again, and the cycle repeats.
