Marshall Segal | Jesus lived a lonely life, and died a far lonelier death, so that all of those who trust in him might never be truly alone.

Marshall Segal addresses four common lies that can hinder Bible reading: that the Bible is irrelevant, hard to understand, unhelpful in times of pain, or won't bring happiness. He refutes these misconceptions by emphasizing the Bible's power to provide wisdom, comfort, understanding, and joy. Segal encourages reading Scripture in community, persevering through tough passages, and engaging with the Word prayerfully, recognizing the spiritual battle against distractions and discouragement.

In this sermon, Marshall Segal expounds upon Psalm 76 looking first at our fearful enemy, then at our even more fearful God, and then finally at how fear responds in faith.
