The Fear of the Lord

← All sermons

Summary

The sermon takes up the fear of the Lord – the reverence and awe due to God as the beginning of true wisdom and knowledge – set against a backdrop of praise and thanksgiving for His grace.

Because the surviving slides are almost entirely Tagalog worship-song lyrics rather than sermon points, the fuller argument of this message could not be reconstructed from what remains; the theme itself, however, is central to the church’s teaching on knowing and obeying God rightly.

Essential truths

  1. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and knowledge (Prov. 1:7).
  2. Right reverence for God is inseparable from gratitude for His grace.
  3. Fearing God shapes how believers live and worship, not just what they believe.

Encouragement and challenge

Cultivate a heart that reveres God rightly, letting that fear shape both worship and daily obedience.
