BEING CONFIDENT & COURAGEOUS (3)

(Message by Tanny Keng)

1. Confidence

a) The definition of the word confidence according to Webster's dictionary is "faith or belief that one will act in a right, proper, or effective way." That definition shows the importance of confidence in the life of a follower of Jesus Christ.

b) People that know the Lord should live differently than the rest of the world. The Bible speaks of this throughout the pages of God's word. This started all the way back in the Old Testament when the Israelites were told to act in a way different than the rest of the cultures at that time. There were to have this type of confidence in the Lord and act and live in an effective way.

Being confident and courageous 

Acts 4:13  
Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated, common men, they were astonished. And they recognized that they had been with Jesus.

1 Corinthians 15:58   
Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.

2 Chronicles 32:6-7
 And he set combat commanders over the people and gathered them together to him in the square at the gate of the city and spoke encouragingly to them, saying,  “Be strong and courageous.  Do not be afraid or dismayed before the king of Assyria and all the horde that is with him, for there are more with us than with him.

Matthew 6:34
