Fear – Where Love Cannot Exist!
This Teaching examines fear, worry, anxiety, and the peace that the speaker associates with trusting Yehovah. Beginning with everyday concerns about provision, it distinguishes immediate fear from anticipated anxiety, then studies 1 John 4:17-21 and 2 Timothy 1:7. The speaker argues that perfected love and trust displace tormenting fear, illustrating his position with Yeshua calming the storm in Mark 4. The final sections contrast reverent fear of Yehovah with terror, examine Israel at Sinai and Hebrews 12, and consider how believers may face future turmoil with hope. The closing fellowship discussion and the speaker’s explanation of an interruption remain preserved in the transcript.
