Join us as we look at the book of Proverbs and discuss the fear of the Lord and how the book is about wisdom, not promises.

From Proverbs 1:7, let's consider what it means to fear God and why it's the key issue regarding godly wisdom

Religious hypocrites fear other people, because they don't fear the Lord. Followers of Jesus fear the Lord, so they have no reason to fear other people.

Wisdom is God's invitation to live well in His world. This summer, we are examining Proverbs that, when applied to our lives, inform how we live, not just what we know.  Speaker: Jordan Hogue

We're diving into Matthew chapter 10 today, drawing wisdom from Jesus, Solomon (from Proverbs), and David (from the Psalms) to understand the fear of the Lord. We'll see how this powerful concept can actually free us from all our other fears.Key Points:Jesus' Bizarre Halftime Speech (Matthew 10):Jesus sends out His disciples with a message of the Kingdom, healing, and deliverance.But then the message takes a dark turn: "I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves."He warns of persecution, betrayal, and hatred, yet astonishingly commands, "Do not fear those who kill the body... Rather fear Him who can destroy both soul and body in hell."This isn't a typical pep talk, but a profound invitation to a greater fear that delivers from lesser ones.The Fear of the Lord: The Beginning of Wisdom:Proverbs 1:7 famously states, "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction."This "fear" isn't a cowering dread but a reverent awe that leads to friendship with God (Psalm 25:14) and is described as "clean" and "enduring forever" (Psalm 19:9).It's a treasure that brings stability, strength, and life (Isaiah 33:6, Proverbs 10:27, 14:27).Fear's Grip: Lessons from David (1 Samuel 21 & Psalm 34):Even heroes like King David succumbed to fear, running, hiding, lying, pretending madness, and forgetting God's faithfulness.Fear often leads us to strongholds – places we seek for safety that become captivity. It makes us huddle with those just like us.Psalm 34 is David's testimony and sermon after God delivered him from his fears.Fear is a faith revealer: It exposes what we boast in, what we magnify. To be free, we must boast in and magnify God (Psalm 34:1-3).A Greater Fear Delivers from Lesser Fears:Just as the fear of rejection might make you jump off a bridge, or the fear of losing a child makes you brave the ocean, a greater fear can trump lesser fears.The fear of the Lord is not a fear of Him, but a fear of going without Him—a reverent submission that keeps us in step with Him.This fear leads to refuge in God (Psalm 31:19-20), obedience, and faithfulness. It frees us from the compromise that worldly fears demand.Conclusion:The idea that "the only thing to fear is fear itself" is a lie. The one thing we should fear is the Lord. And in this divine exchange, when we fear Him most, He delivers us from all other lesser fears, leading us to abundant life and wisdom.Call to Action:As we come to the table, let's ask God to expose the fears that reveal what we've put our faith in. Let's boast in Christ's sacrifice, knowing He's made a way for us to live free from fear's influence. Receive His broken body, and ask for a healthy fear of the Lord – one that is pure, clean, endures forever, and leads to fullness of life.

Colonel Jeff Williams draws from Job 28 and other Scripture to consider the fear of the Lord as the beginning of true wisdom. Emphasizing that human achievement cannot attain divine understanding, he underscores how wisdom is granted only by God's grace. The fear of the Lord is presented not only as the start of knowledge but also as a guiding light for all of life's vocations and decisions.Q1: Did you get a chance to witness to the Russians or others during your space flights?Q2: Did going to space change your relationship with God or affect your faith?Q3: (From the back of the room, summarized as a general question about applying wisdom in a fallen world, possibly in government or vocational settings.)

Clair, our Community Outreach and Prayer Ministry Director, delves into the book of Proverbs and the life of King Solomon. We're reminded that true wisdom isn't just about knowledge, but about applying God's truth in our lives. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, but this 'fear' isn't about terror - it's about awe and reverence. We're challenged to consider: Are we seeking worldly wisdom or godly wisdom? The world tells us to climb higher, but God's wisdom often calls us to go lower and be humble. This countercultural approach to wisdom invites us to trust in God rather than ourselves, to boast in our weaknesses, and to recognize that Jesus is the hero of our story, not us. As we embrace this biblical wisdom, we're encouraged to ask God for it generously, knowing He gives without finding fault. This wisdom isn't just for our benefit, but for the flourishing of those around us too.

Meekness can be described as quiet, gentle, and easily imposed on; submissive. Those are typically not words you would want to be described as, but that's exactly how Jesus lived His life. Today, Pastor Johnny will remind you that meekness doesn't mean weakness. If you want to live a life according to Jesus, you have to remain meek. 

“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom…” — Proverbs 9:10 True wisdom doesn't start with clever thoughts—it starts with reverence for God. When we truly know who God is, that knowledge produces fear—not terror, but awe. That awe produces obedience, and that obedience is what wisdom really is. In this episode, we unpack how fear, knowledge, and obedience work together to grow us in wisdom—not just in what we say, but in how we live. Let this encourage you: Wisdom is not just knowing—it's doing. #EncouragementForChristians #Proverbs910 #FearOfTheLord #TrueWisdom #ObedienceIsWisdom

Playing hide and seek from God will never be in your favor. Today, Pastor Johnny will encourage you to come out of your hiding spot from sin. Don't wait until someone finds you, because God has already found you. He knows your secrets, but you can be set free by confessing and receiving forgiveness from God.

Saying yes to following God is more than choosing to believe in Him. It's a process that is constantly at work. When you choose to follow Him, He will work on your heart and soul for the rest of your life. Today, Pastor Johnny will remind you that choosing to live for God is more than a moment, it's saying yes to Him every day.

A new MP3 sermon from Grace Audio Treasures is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: The fear of the LORD Subtitle: Puritan Devotional Speaker: C. H. Spurgeon Broadcaster: Grace Audio Treasures Event: Devotional Date: 5/28/2025 Bible: Proverbs 9:10; Psalm 128:1 Length: 3 min.

Proverbs 9:10, "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding." Here, God opens to us the true gateway of wisdom. All the philosophies and teachings of men may parade themselves as insight, but apart from the fear of the LORD, they are blind guides leading the blind. Wisdom does not originate in intellect, nor is it attained by experience alone. It begins with the fear of God--a holy reverence and awe of His majesty, His power, His justice, and His grace. True fear of God does not lead to bondage, but to holiness. To fear the Lord is not a cringing dread, but a deep-hearted recognition of who He is, and a consequent submission to His will. It is to stand in awe of His holiness and to tremble at His Word (Isaiah 66:2). It is to love what He loves, to hate what He hates, and to live in conscious dependence upon Him. Until this fear governs the heart, one cannot be wise--for without it, one walks in the vanity of his own mind and the darkness of his own understanding (Ephesians 4:17-18). From this holy fear, springs the pursuit of the knowledge of the Holy One. Here we do not deal in mere information about God--but in the spiritual, experiential knowledge of Him through His Word. To know the Holy One, is to be brought into saving relationship with Him through Jesus and His sin-atoning sacrifice on the cross. This knowledge transforms. As we grow in reverence and deepen in our acquaintance with God's holy character, we are conformed into His likeness. Wisdom is not academic--it is spiritual insight into the ways and will of God, made possible only through the regenerating work of the Holy Spirit. True wisdom leads to holy

What does it really mean to “fear the Lord”? In this message from Pastor Joshua Bundy at Covenant Church, we explore Proverbs 1:7 and a biblical definition of “the fear of the Lord” that's far richer than just being afraid. Is it terror? Respect? Awe? Reverence? The answer is yes—and more. Pastor Josh shows how the fear of the Lord is not simply an emotion, but a transformative character trait that impacts our internal world—our emotions, thoughts, desires, affections, and conscience. Drawing from both Old and New Testaments—including the story of Saul's conversion and Psalm 139—he explains how fearing the Lord can move us from trembling to peace, from guilt to growth. Whether you're skeptical of the phrase or hungry for a deeper understanding of God's holiness and presence, this sermon will challenge and encourage you. Stick around to the end for a beautiful picture of Jesus in Revelation—and how awe can shape our hearts through worship.__________ If you're new let us know & visit https://www.covenantdoylestown.org to learn more about us and how you can get connected.

In this Thursday edition of Morning Manna, the study of Proverbs continues with an in-depth reflection on verses 6 and 7 of chapter 1. Rick Wiles and Doc Burkhart explore the three layers of these verses: understanding proverbs and interpretations, valuing the words of the wise, and unraveling the meaning behind “dark sayings.” They explain how true biblical wisdom is revealed not through surface reading but by humble, Spirit-led study and meditation. The fear of the Lord is presented not as terror but as reverent awe, forming the unshakable foundation of all true knowledge. The session also underscores the danger of spiritual pride and the fate of those who reject instruction, while encouraging believers to dig deep, unwrap the treasures of Scripture, and grow in wisdom daily.Rick Wiles, Doc Burkhart.
