Conquering Fear to Win at Life: The Hittites
On the evening of April 14, 2024, Pastor Gary Caudill delivered a sermon titled "The Hittites" at Washington Heights Baptist Church (WHBC), marking the launch of a new Youth/Young Adult Ministry called "The Winner's Circle." The sermon, part of the "Winning at Life" series, drew from Deuteronomy 7 and other scriptures to analogize the ancient Hittites with modern-day spiritual and emotional challenges such as fear and discouragement. Pastor Caudill emphasized that, like the Hittites, these negative forces must be driven out to claim victory in life. He stressed the importance of faith over fear, community support, and the power of God's word in overcoming these battles. This engaging session not only offered spiritual insights but also practical steps to living a fear-free life, reinforcing the message with the empowering scripture from 2 Timothy 1:7: "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind."
