Haunted: Expect To Be Scared
Psalm 55:1-8, 23
Ephesians 6:10-17
October 31, 2021
Millions of people are haunted by their past. They’re filled with regret about things missed, things they’ve said or done, or things they failed to do. But the Bible tells us that God can provide us complete freedom. He is more interested in freeing you on the “inside” rather than simply changing the scenery. If we allow the past to overshadow our future, it affects our relationships with others and more importantly, our relationship with God. Psalm 55 teaches us what to do with the past, and how to live boldly… expectantly… confidently in your future.
