The Comeback l Week 3: Comeback From FEAR l Jacob Dickerson

Everyone loves a good comeback story.
The underdog wins. The team down big in the fourth quarter rallies back. The athlete written off proves everyone wrong.

Why do we love those stories so much?
Because deep down… we’re looking for one in our own lives.

But sometimes the greatest comeback we need isn’t from failure… or even from sin.
Sometimes it’s from fear.

Fear that keeps us stuck.
Fear that keeps us silent.
Fear that tells us we’re not enough… not ready… not capable.

A lot of people aren’t held back by a lack of opportunity—
they’re held back by what’s going on inside of them.

And eventually we start asking the question:
“What if I’m not who God says I am?”
“What if I can’t do what He’s calling me to do?”

In Week 3 of our series The Comeback, Pastor Jacob Dickerson walks through Judges 6 and the story of Gideon—
a man who was hiding in fear when God called him a mighty warrior.

Gideon didn’t feel ready.
He didn’t feel qualified.
He didn’t feel strong.

But God didn’t speak to who Gideon was in that moment—
He spoke to who Gideon would become.

And when Gideon chose to trust what God said over what he felt, everything changed.

The same is true for you.

Fear doesn’t have to get the final word in your life.
God does.

If fear has been holding you back from stepping into what God has for you…
this message is for you.
