It's bedtime and it's dark upstairs.  That's when your little girl says to you, "Mommy, I don't want to go to bed.  I'm scared of the dark."  You reassure her that there's nothing to be afraid of.  There are no monsters, no fearful creatures lurking in the shadows.   However, unlike the darkness your child faces, the spiritual darkness all around does hide real monsters, enemies of Christ who are intent on harming God's people.  But like moms and dads all over the world, our heavenly Father comes alongside and assures us when we're afraid of the darkness. Listen as Pastor Tim examines those assurances of God to us in 1 Peter 3.13-17.
