Key Idea: We overcome our futile faith in others through a greater faith in Christ
1. The futility of living by faith in others
Three truths about faith in others (fear of man)
a. Principle: it is rooted in our worship
b. Pervasiveness: people are our idol of preference
c. Peril: it leads to a lack of love and a lack of hope
The more we need people, the less we can love them
It’s discouraging, disheartening, and draining
2. The freedom of living by faith in Christ
