(In)security

Insecure, we stand at the edge, forced to make a decision, to choose a direction. Either way could lead us securely into our future, or sabotage it completely. Fear can cause us to stay in our comfortable lives, without stepping out and moving forward into what God wants. In John chapter 20, the disciples are living in old ways in the post-resurrection new day. The resurrection should have given them security to move ahead, and yet so many of their reactions in John 20 & 21 are driven by their insecurity. That insecurity, left unchecked, would have sabotaged the ministry to which Christ was calling them. Insecurity is a common reason for many unresolved problems in families and churches. In this series we unpack how the power of this “new day” encourages us to deal with the insecurity that can easily sabotage God’s empowering presence.
