The Futility of Fear
Faith & Finance with Rob West
Former slave ship captain and author of “Amazing Grace”, John Newton once said, “If the Lord be with us, we have no cause of fear.” It’s easy to let fear take over when financial circumstances spin out of control. But there’s a better way. We’ll talk about that today on Faith and Finance.

SCRIPTURES ON FEAR AND GOD'S PRESENCE:
- Jesus asks a powerful question about worry in Matthew 6:27, asking, "Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?”
- Romans 8:15 encourages reliance on God instead of falling back into fear: "For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, ‘Abba! Father!’”
- Faith is the opposite of fear, and fear is a tool used by Satan to distract from God's goodness.
