In this study, we will focus on Whose we are and on what God desires for us, so that, by the power of the Holy Spirit, we may serve others with the love of God in Christ Jesus.

There are many things which can cause us to be afraid while we live in this sin-filled world. When Jesus taught His disciples to recognize the signs of the end, He counseled them, And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars (Matthew 24:6). That signpost is as large as ever today. But there are many other causes of fear in our lives which may loom as large or perhaps larger because of their proximity. Criticism, conflict, divorce, growing old, poverty, as well as a diagnosis of cancer or other serious disease can all introduce fear.
