Why the Bible *COMMANDS* you to "fear not"

Summary

The sermon explores the biblical command to "fear not" by examining the story of Mary and Joseph's journey to Bethlehem, highlighting God's sovereign control over seemingly chaotic circumstances. Through the example of Caesar Augustus's census decree and Mary's challenging journey, the message emphasizes that God orchestrates events precisely to fulfill His divine purposes, even when humans cannot understand the process. The key practical takeaway is that believers should trust God's sovereignty during uncertain or fearful times, recognizing that He is in complete control of every situation, regardless of how overwhelming or incomprehensible it may appear.
