Rev Bill

I have posted my sermon from last Sunday on my sermon blog.

Based on Genesis 15:1-12 and Luke 13:31-35, it is my sermon on the texts for the Second Sunday in Lent for this year and entitled “Who’s Afraid?”.

Here’s a portion of it:

My Dad tells a story of an incident in World War II.
The best German fighter plane was the Focke Wulf . It was a terror in the skies for Allied planes. Dad was a Bomber pilot in Europe — and tells this story of how one day in the Mess Hall of his home field in southern Italy there was a sign sporting a picture of the Focke Wulf with this caption:
WHO’S AFRAID OF THE BIG FOCKE WULF?
Without much of a thought Dad took out his pen and wrote under the picture and caption:
I am
Billy D. Hayes
Before long, most of the other pilots at his home field had done the same.
Who’s Afraid?
Fear may be good at times — it at least keeps us from being too rash or too foolish or overconfident. But — at other times — fear is not so good!
Who’s Afraid?
Aren’t there times in our lives when we let the circumstances of our lives scare us?
Aren’t there times when the things happening in our lives strike fear in us?
Aren’t there times in our lives the “big, bad wolves” of our lives intimidate us?
Aren’t there times when the circumstances of our lives cause us to doubt God’s plan for us?
