Fearless Faith Comes from Holding On to God in Uncertain Times (Psalm 27)

When life feels uncertain and fear tries to creep in, where can you turn for confidence? In this message from Psalm 27, Pastor Chris Teien explores how to live with fearless faith—not by escaping fear, but by learning to hold on to God. Discover four practical ways David models faith in the face of fear: confidence in God’s character, refuge in worship, prayer in the battle, and hope while waiting.

This sermon will help you respond to fear with trust, courage, and spiritual clarity—grounded in God's presence and promises.
