Elusive Peace - Pastor Tom (2.1.26)

In a fear-saturated world, Scripture’s most repeated command—“Do not be afraid”—meets us in Psalm 56, where David names his fear honestly and chooses trust anyway. God’s promise is not the absence of hardship, but His presence in the middle of it—walking with us through fire and flood rather than around them. When fear is placed in God’s hands through prayer, worship, Scripture, and community, it gives way to a peace that steadies our hearts beyond circumstances.
