# 1 Corinthians 16 #soap ## Title: Be Courageous. ## Scripture: (1 Corinthians 16:13) “Stay alert, stand firm in the faith, show courage, be strong.” (NET) ## Observation: Courage is not the absence of fear. The absence of fear does not require anything. Courage is moving forward in the presence of fear. Moving forward and being the church God intends His people to be requires courage. Are you living for God in a way that requires courage? ## Application: Live fully for God no matter where you are. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for being a God worth serving.
