Uncertainties are a part of life. Sometimes the over whelming thought of uncertainty can lead to discouragement. How does a preacher deliver messages that can help the listeners over come fear in the time of uncertainty and move the people to greater personal spiritual growth? Is it possible to preach sermons that will move the listeners toward greater spiritual growth? Discouragement in the Face of Uncertainties: Preaching Personal Spiritual Growth, Reverend Robertson outlines the foreboding realities of his church which set the stage for the six sermons preached over two years. He discusses the challenges of moving from fear to freedom and what God has to say about each personal situation. God has plenty to say about fear, uncertainty and discouragement. God is able to move us past our narrow vision of discouragement to the horizon of hope and greater spiritual growth. Growth requires change and a breaking down process-breaking our personal will and living God's will. Both which are necessary in the spiritual growth. Reverend Robertson shares his very personal journey of spiritual growth during a two year period. He suggests that in measuring spiritual growth "God does not call us to be successful. God calls us to be faithful."
