Dear Trinity Family & Friends,

This Sunday, we continue When the Spirit Moves with the message: “Fear Becomes Courage.” Fear has a quiet way of shaping our lives. It influences what we say, what we avoid, and how we respond. And yet, in Acts, we see something remarkable when the disciples who once struggled with fear are now speaking with boldness and clarity. What changed? The Spirit. Courage in Scripture is not the absence of fear, but it’s the presence of something greater. It’s the steady conviction that God is at work and that faithfulness matters more than comfort.

Paul reminds us that God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-discipline.

Reflect and Prepare

1. What fears tend to shape your decisions?
2. Where might God be inviting you to act with courage?
3. How do you distinguish between wisdom and fear?
4. When have you seen courage grow out of faith?
5. What does faithful courage look like in your life?
6. How does God’s presence change how you face uncertainty?
7. What is one step of courage you can take this week?

The Spirit does not remove every challenge, but it gives us what we need to face them. May we learn to trust that God’s presence is greater than our fear, and step forward in faith.

Grace and peace,

Pastor Dedric
