Words Jesus Would Say - "Fear Does Not Get the Final Word"

May 3, 2026    Pastor Brian E Halterman

Week 4 — “Fear Does Not Get the Final Word”

What if one of the loudest voices in your life… isn’t actually the voice of Jesus?

In Week 4 of our series, Words Jesus Would Say, Pastor Brian explores the quiet but powerful ways fear shapes our lives, our decisions, and even our faith. Fear doesn’t always sound dramatic. Sometimes it sounds practical, cautious, or reasonable. But over time, fear can begin directing our lives instead of God’s voice.

Through Scripture, personal reflection, and the story of Jesus walking on the water, this 5-part video journey reminds us that Jesus does not respond to fear with shame or condemnation — He responds with presence, peace, and courage.

This week’s message is for anyone who has:

Felt overwhelmed by anxiety or uncertainty

Struggled to trust again after hurt or disappointment

Been stuck in survival mode

Allowed fear to determine direction

Forgotten that Jesus is still present in the middle of the storm

You’ll be reminded of these truths:

Fear may be present… but it does not get the final word.

Peace is not the absence of chaos — it is the presence of Jesus in the middle of it.

Courage is not the absence of fear — it is choosing whose voice you will follow.

If fear has been louder than faith lately, this series is an invitation to pause, breathe, and listen again for the voice of Jesus.

“Take courage. It is I. Don’t be afraid.”

Week 5 coming next:

“You Can Let It Go — You Don’t Have to Carry That Anymore.”
