    The Fear of the Lord

    What does it truly mean to fear God?

    Scripture tells us that “the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge” (Proverbs 1:7). But biblical fear is far more than mere respect, anxiety, or terror. It is a holy awe before God’s majesty, a humble submission to His authority, a reverence that shapes our worship, obedience, and love.

    In this sermon, we explore what it means to fear the Lord, who possesses this fear, and why every pursuit of true wisdom must begin here. The fear of God turns us from evil, frees us from the fear of man, humbles our pride, and leads us toward life.

    Whether in the classroom, the church, the home, or everyday life, the call is the same: do not merely seek knowledge about God—stand in awe of God.

    Listen and be challenged to recover the holy fear that should define the life of every Christian.
