Sermon for Sunday July 19, 2009

“Friendship Phobia’s”

Fear is the primary reason that we keep our safe distance from people. We are afraid to risk friendship with someone, because it could turn out like other experiences from our past. Today, we will look at some phobia’s that we have about getting closer to the people that God has brought into our life.

We continue our series “Beyond the Surface: The Journey To Real Friendship” this week with the topic “Friendship Phobia’s”. We all have them: bad experiences with friends from our past that influence how we make friends now. This week Bro. Todd will be talking about how we can break through those fears, and get closer to those that God has place into our lives.

Our music this week deals a lot with breaking free, and allowing God to be the center of everything we do. EVERYTHING, and that includes the relationships we have with those that we come in contact with every day. God has friends for all of us, but often we let our fears get in the way of really connecting with someone who could be an incredible blessing in our lives. It’s our prayer that through the time of worship this week, you will let go of the fears you have been holding on to, and experience the freedom that only God can give.

Be sure to check out the music by clicking the links in the chart above. The better you know the music we’ll be singing, the more you can free yourself to simply worship the creator. Thanks for checking out the blog, and for taking time to prepare yourself for worship at Oasis on Sunday. I look forward to worshiping with you.

Bro. Doug
