In this teaching, the speaker explores the theme “Rediscovering the Fear of the Lord.” Using Isaiah 11:2–3 as the foundation, the message highlights the fear of the Lord as the core delight of Jesus, the entryway to all spiritual graces, and the foundation of godly character. Through biblical examples—Christ, Joseph, and Job—the message emphasizes that the fear of the Lord is not merely an emotion but a lifestyle, a spirit, a treasure, and a measure of spiritual maturity. The speaker challenges believers to examine what they truly delight in and calls the church back to reverence, honor, and holy living. Main Scripture Isaiah 11:2–3 The Spirit of the Lord Wisdom Understanding Counsel Might Knowledge Fear of the Lord “His delight is in the fear of the Lord…” Key Points 1. The Fear of the Lord Was Christ's Delight Jesus didn't delight primarily in power, wisdom, or understanding. His delight was in the fear of the Lord. This is what made Him stand out in character, obedience, and endurance—even knowing betrayal, pain, and humiliation ahead of time. 2. The Fear of the Lord Is the Foundation It is the substructure—the foundation upon which all the other spirits (wisdom, counsel, power, knowledge) rest. Without the fear of the Lord, none of the other spiritual graces can genuinely operate in a believer's life. 3. The Fear of the Lord Is God's “Treasure” Isaiah calls it a “treasure.” When you gain a person's treasure, you gain access to everything connected to them. If you gain the fear of the Lord, you gain deeper access to God Himself. 4. What You Fear Becomes Your Master Many people fear: Man Money Accidents Flying Their spouse Their hometown But only the fear of the Lord leads to life, stability, and divine favour

Romans Vol. 1 - Coming Under GracePaul's purpose in Romans 3:9–18 is to name our true condition before God—that every one of us is “under sin,” unrighteous, and unable to seek or understand Him on our own. Until we see this diagnosis clearly, we won't recognize why our conduct is so broken or why we desperately need the cure God provides in the gospel.Sermon Preached by Chris Lewis on November 16, 2025Foothill Church exists to glorify God by living as disciples of Jesus who make disciples of Jesus.https://foothill.churchLearn about our For the Sake of His Name 2-Year Discipleship Journey:https://foothill.church/FTSOHN

In this transformational message, The Blueprint of Wisdom, we dive deep into what Scripture calls “the beginning of wisdom”—the fear of the Lord. Many believers have absorbed distorted worldly definitions of “fear”, but this teaching restores the biblical meaning: a reverent awe, a revelation-based honour, and a heart that refuses to be far from God.

In this audio, our Global Lead Pastor, Pastor Shola Okodugha, begins by emphasizing the importance of practicing the Word we have received. When we put the Word into action, it moves from information to revelation, transforming our lives and aligning us with God's plan for growth.Pastor Shola then introduces the teaching on the Seven Spirits of God as revealed in Isaiah 11:1–2:“The Spirit of the Lord will rest upon Him—the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord.”He explains that Jesus carried the fullness of these seven Spirits (John 3:34), and every believer can walk in that same reality through revelation and obedience. Other scriptural references: Revelation 4:4–5 and Exodus 37:23, both showing the operation and manifestation of the Spirit of God.Pastor Shola highlights that one of the marks of Christ is that His delight was in the fear of the Lord (Ecclesiastes, Isaiah 11:3). The fear of the Lord is not about being afraid of God, but about reverencing Him, it is as precious as finding hidden treasure.He teaches that the fear of the Lord is expressed in three dimensions:In Worship: Honoring God by following His divine order and protocol of worship (Malachi 1:6–7).In Personal Life: Living in integrity and reverence daily.In Doing His Will: Boldly obeying God even when it seems risky (Hebrews 11).The fear of the Lord is the highest form of obedience, choosing God's voice above all others.It is the beginning of wisdom. (Proverbs 1:7)It establishes the hand of God in your life. (Joshua 4:24)It teaches you the way of the Lord. (Psalm 25:12)It powers obedience and brings supernatural evidence through the Spirit of might. (Proverbs 25:14)It helps you stay focused on what truly matters.Pastor Shola explains that when we walk in reverent fear of God, we gain clarity, stability, and supernatural boldness.Referencing Matthew 10:27–28, he challenges believers to imagine a life with nothing to fear, a life led by the Spirit and anchored in divine confidence.“The Lord is on my side; I will not fear what man can do to me.” Psalm 118:6Other supporting scriptures: Proverbs 29:25, Psalm 27:1–2, Proverbs 14:26. When you begin to live above fear, you start living the God-kind of life. The only real resistance to your growth is you.Key Takeaways:Practicing the Word turns knowledge into revelation.The Seven Spirits of God empower believers for supernatural living.The fear of the Lord is not terror but deep reverence and obedience.Wisdom begins when you honor and fear God.Living above fear is living in divine boldness.The message concludes with a powerful prayer session, as Pastor Shola leads the congregation to receive the Spirit of the Fear of the Lord afresh, awakening a deeper hunger for God's presence and purpose.

Dr. Jeremy Lundgren NEW PODCAST TODAY!  Dave Wager sits down with Dr. Jeremy Lundgren, president of Nicolet Bible Institute at Silver Birch Ranch, to talk straight about college, calling, and growing up. Framed by Proverbs 1:7, “Fear of the Lord is the foundation of true knowledge…,” they push past the usual “pick a major and chase a paycheck” thinking and ask better questions: Should your son or daughter go to college at all? What is God actually preparing them for? How do you weigh Bible school, trade school, a four year degree, or a gap year in a culture that is confused, expensive, and often hostile to biblical truth? Dave and Jeremy keep circling back to transition. College is not just about classrooms. It is about learning to get up on your own, handle responsibility, live with other people, make your faith your own, and see your future through the lens of serving Christ, not just surviving adulthood. They talk about how a place like Nicolet Bible Institute gives students one focused year in Scripture, service, and community, to grow in wisdom before locking into a long term path. This episode is for parents, grandparents, and young adults who are trying to make decisions about “what's next” and want to start, not with money or majors, but with the fear of the Lord.     Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

The consequences of godly fear are not only good for us but induce a marvelous and mysterious mixture of gravitas and gladness. Godward fear is not simply compatible with joy, it is a way of depicting the sheer intensity of it. Joy without fear lacks weight. But the fear of the Lord has both.

Matt Fuller (Senior Minister) – Evening ServiceThe Fear of the Lord: Proverbs 2025Proverbs 2

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge. Fools despise wisdom. Don't be a fool. 

Hebrews 12:28-29 28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. 29 For our God is a consuming fire.

In this first message of the Be Wise series, Pastor Jim explores why wisdom is not only helpful but commanded by God. Drawing from Proverbs 3 and 9, Jim teaches that wisdom begins with fearing the Lord and trusting in Him rather than leaning on our own understanding. He illustrates how wisdom is more than just intelligence or kindness—it is truth applied to the complexities of real life. Jim challenges listeners to consider what shapes their identity and how that identity leads to either foolishness or a life marked by peace, humility, and eternal perspective. As he unpacks the fruit of wisdom, he points to Jesus as the ultimate source and model, the one we must cling to if we want to walk wisely in this world. The invitation is clear: root your life in the gospel and drink deeply from the spring of Christ, the one thing that makes the rest of life possible.

Hypocrisy is giving an impression of having certain purposes or motivations, while in reality having quite different ones. It was a problem for the religious leaders in Jesus' day, and it is a problem for followers of Jesus today. In this message, we look at the warning that Jesus gave to his followers regarding hypocrisy and discover the cure he prescribes.

How to Build Your Best Life - Week 2

In this concluding message of our series on the awful fear of the Lord, we bring together the key truths we've explored and discover how holy fear transforms every aspect of Christian life. In this study, Nathan tackles several practical questions like: How can we increase our fear of the Lord? What do we do when we struggle to relate to God with fear? How does holy fear help us overcome persistent sin? And why is it impossible to live the Christian life without this foundational attribute? Whether you're battling sin, seeking deeper intimacy with God, or simply wanting to walk more faithfully, this message reveals why holy fear is the key to flourishing in your relationship with Christ.

Fear of the Lord is deep respect, awe, and reverence for God.  We give God the glory, honor, reverence, gratitude, and praise, he deserves.  God holds this preeminent position in our hearts and lives.  We regard his desires over and above our own.Main Points:1. We should fear or respect the Lord as one who has authority over us. It is a recognition that we are accountable to Him.  He is so great, He is so holy, He is so righteous, how can I not humble myself before him? How could I ever think that I know better than God? 2. The fear of the Lord causes us to repent of our pride and our selfishness. It brings us to a place of humility before the Lord.  It is a recognition of his holiness and greatness.3. Without the fear of the Lord, we make decisions based on our human understanding. But when we live with the fear of the Lord, we make decisions based upon His approval. We live with the knowledge that the Creator of the universe is intimately involved in our lives. He sees, knows, and evaluates all of our choices, and we will one day stand before him.Today's Scripture Verses:Ephesians 2:4 - “But God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much, that even though we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead.”Proverbs 19:10 - “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.”  Proverbs 14:26 - “He who fears the Lord has a secure fortress, and for his children it will be a refuge” Proverbs 14:27 - “The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, turning a man from the snares of death” Quick Links:Donate to support this podcastLeave a review on Apple PodcastsGet a copy of The 5 Minute Discipleship JournalConnect on SocialJoin The 5 Minute Discipleship Facebook Group

One of the greatest travelogues ever written is the book of Acts in the New Testament. This account of the early Christian church, written by Luke, is interesting to study and inspiring to understand. Today we'll return to chapter nine, as we look at the ministry of the apostle Peter. It's important to remember that the events we read about today took place during a sea change in the post resurrection church.

As we continue to examine the conversion of Saul, we see his early ministry and the unique challenges he faced. In spite of new threats, the church continued to grow, and Saul found himself embraced by this new community. Luke records that a new peace came upon the church, a peace formed by their fear of the Lord and the comfort of the Holy Spirit. 

We'll be concentrating on chapter nine, verses thirty-one through forty-three today, and the events that followed the conversion of Saul. Our focus shifts to Peter, who was tasked with a great responsibility - to share the gospel message throughout the land - and to make disciples.

A listener named Linda wonders about our relationship with the Lord and asks, “Can you explain fear of God?”

We don't fear the Lord to keep Him from hurting us. We fear the Lord to keep us from hurting Him.

Should we be afraid of God? In our world today, there is a growing system that dismisses the very notion that there is a God to whom we are accountable and will one day stand before. In this message, we discover two dangerous postures when it comes to the fear of the Lord.

Throughout Scripture, knowing God's ways and fearing Him are inseparable. If you do not have a holy fear and live in humility, you will not understand or be able to walk in His ways. And yet, like the Israelites of old, it is possible to be close to God and yet never experience Him. The Psalmist wrote that God “made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the sons of Israel” (Psalm 103:7)—the Israelites saw God's works but Moses knew His ways. In this study, Nathan explores that key difference, what it means to know the ways of God, and how holy fear fuels our pursuit of God's presence and glory … leading us to deeper intimacy and unbroken fellowship with Him and experience a greater passion to live in holiness, righteousness, and obedience to Jesus Christ, who is the Way.

Fr. Mike illustrates the story of Eleazar and the abandonment of peace terms between the Jews and the Greeks. He also recognizes the pain that children and family members who don't follow the Lord can bring about, and uses wisdom from Sirach to address this prevalent struggle. Today's readings are 1 Maccabees 6, Sirach 16-18, and Proverbs 22:17-21. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.

The Bible has a great deal to say about wisdom and how much we ought to value and seek it. In fact, there is a whole category of books in the Bible that we often refer to as "Wisdom Literature." One of these books is the book of Job, and near the middle of the book, in chapter 28, Job gives some very interesting reflections on the topic of wisdom. Quite interestingly, this unique chapter actually provides a great summary of many of the most important themes of wisdom that we find in other books of the Bible like the book of Proverbs. In this episode, I highlight 3 things about wisdom from Job 28.#1 - The Value of Wisdom#2 - The Source of Wisdom#3 - The Beginning of WisdomThis episode is a sermon preached by Jackson Hankey at a Christian Drug & Alcohol Treatment Program in Fargo, ND.

As we begin reading the first book of Maccabees today, Fr. Mike highlights the severe persecution against the Jews and the desecration of the Temple led by Antiochus Epiphanes. We also begin our journey in the book of Sirach today and learn about the fear of the Lord, clinging to the Lord in trials, and the importance of honoring our parents. Today's readings are 1 Maccabees 1, Sirach 1-3, and Proverbs 21:29-31. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.

God has called Christians to a life of holiness, godliness, and righteousness—a life conformed to the image of Jesus Himself. Yet, for many of us, we dislike holiness and find obedience to be difficult. What is the solution to our desire for sin and our passivity toward obeying God? In this study, Nathan proposes that the fear of the Lord is the solution. If you are struggling with sin, succumbing to temptation, or stuck in disobedience, the fear of the Lord is the answer.
