Grounded by Fear – When Worry Replaces Trust

Jan 18, 2026    Bishop Calvin M. Hooper

Grounded by Fear explores how fear—when left unchecked—can quietly immobilize our faith, distort our thinking, and keep us stuck in places God never intended us to remain. While fear is a natural human response, it was never meant to become our anchor.


Through biblical truth and practical insight, this message reveals how fear can ground us emotionally, spiritually, and relationally—keeping us from obedience, growth, and freedom. You’ll discover how fear disguises itself as caution, control, or wisdom, and how God’s power, love, and sound mind provide the way forward.


This sermon challenges believers to identify the source of their fear, confront the lies that sustain it, and learn how to stay grounded in faith rather than fear. If you’ve ever felt stuck, hesitant, or restrained from fully trusting God, this message will help you exchange fear-based living for faith-filled confidence.
