Podcasts about fear of the lord

Main Idea: God's presence is life-giving joy, but only the true King, Jesus, can bring us into it safely.

I've been defining the “fear of the Lord” as having reverence for God mixed with tremble and awe. Over the past few studies we've looked at the idea of “tremble” and defined “reverence,” but what does it mean to stand in awe of God? In this study, we explore the idea of wonder, what it means to be lost in the wonder and greatness of our God, and seven ways we can do so.

In the ninth episode of "Holiness," Duane Sheriff teaches that godly fear is the key to true wisdom and understanding, helping us discern beyond our physical senses and emotions. True holiness is achieved through a reverent fear of God, which is different from worldly fear. Godly fear leads to worship, wisdom, and a departure from evil. According to 2 Corinthians 7:1, we are encouraged to cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. This fear is not one of torment but rather a reverent awe that leads to worship. Cultivating a healthy fear of the Lord leads to a holy life and encourages spiritual growth.https://pastorduane.com/holiness/

What does it really mean to fear the Lord? In this message, we unpack a biblical perspective of holy fear—not being scared of God, but being terrified of life without Him. Pastor Matt Blair challenges us to examine our intimacy with God and reveals how the fear of the Lord refines our faith, reveals our true identity, and frees us from all other fears. Anchored in Scripture and filled with powerful examples, this episode will deepen your understanding of God's holiness and draw you into greater awe, reverence, and relationship with Him.

Proverbs 15:33Elder, Ryan Wise

Delighting in the Fear of the LORD, Proverbs 1:1-7

To live with a holy fear of God requires that we revere Him. But what is reverence and how do we live before God with a deep humility, respect, and honor? In this study, Nathan explores the biblical concept of reverence, what it means to “hallow” (keep and honor as holy) God's name, and explains how taking God's name in vain is far more than swearing. If you desire to grow deeper in your relationship and intimacy with Christ Jesus, then we as Christians must live with holy reverence before Him and His Word.

The verse in Proverbs about “fearing the Lord” used to sound a little intense to me, until I realized it's really about trusting God first... and there's a promise that comes with it.

The mighty voice of the Lord is powerful and thunderous … and so is His voice through His Word. Too many in our modern day treat the Bible casually or passively, but as Christians, we must humble ourselves, bend our knee, and tremble beneath His Word. In this study, we discuss the mighty-authoritative voice of God's Word, why we can believe and stand firm upon it, and what it means to tremble before His Word (with some help from Charles Spurgeon). Let us be the people to whom God intently gazes—people who are humble, contrite in spirit, and who tremble at His Word.If you would like to learn more about the inspiration, inerrancy, and immutability of Scripture, you can download a PDF version of Nathan's “Supremacy of Scripture” (appendix two of Saturation Bible Study) here.

Title: The Surprisingly Good News of The Fear of The LordSpeaker: Rob BerrethScripture: Hebrews 10:26-31Episode Overview:In this sermon from Hebrews 10:26–31, we face one of Scripture's most sobering warnings—not to terrify us, but to anchor us in grace. Just as Jonathan Edwards pleaded with his hearers centuries ago, this message calls the church to take seriously the holiness of God and the danger of treating Christ lightly. Yet within the fearsome warning lies a surprising invitation: to tremble not in terror, but in love—before God. This kind of reverent fear keeps our hearts anchored in the treasure of Christ.Key Highlights:• The type of sin only church people are capable of: ongoing, deliberate, indifferent rebellion.• What it really means to trample the Son of God and outrage the Spirit of grace.• Why godly fear is not servile dread but filial reverence—the posture of a beloved child.• How divine judgment is sobering, yet ultimately points us to mercy.• The role of trembling adoration in keeping our hearts soft toward God.• Why only a God-fearing heart will remain a Christ-treasuring heart.Call to Action:Don't run from this text—run through it and into the arms of your Redeeming Savior. Share this episode with someone who needs to see that holy fear and lasting joy are not opposites, but companions on the journey of faith.

Romans 3:18-20 — Why does one sin? What drives them to chase after everything that dishonors God? The underlying answer is quoted from Psalm 36 in this Romans passage: “There is no fear of God before their eyes” (Romans 3:18). In this sermon from Romans 3:18–20 titled “The Fear of the Lord,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones explains fear as reverential awe, a desire to worship God, an understanding that God is the judge of all the earth, and a fear of punishment. The unsaved do not fear the eternal punishment of the holy God. In this passage, Paul also points out that the very law in which the Jews boast has also condemned them. All guilty under sin. Paul has stressed this repeatedly in recent passages and Dr. Lloyd-Jones explains that it is because every mouth needs to be stopped. Scripture shows the standard that all must live up to and that standard shows how humans are truly vile. That alone should silence all arguing and excuses. Dr. Lloyd-Jones asks the listener to examine the heart and mouth and ask if they are still doubting or arguing against the almighty God or has their mouth been stopped by His righteousness and grace? Thanks be to God who by His Son saves from sin.

We're not just watching history—we're living in the middle of God's unfolding purposes. In this message, Pastor Allen Jackson calls us to wake up, speak up, and stand with bold faith. As he refers to Scripture from throughout the Bible, Pastor Allen teaches if you reject the Truth and you follow evil, you will face a God of wrath and anger. That's not a threat; it's awareness (Romans 2:8). As the nations rage and Israel takes center stage, we must understand our role as God's people in this unique moment. It's time to embrace responsibility, reject passivity, and align with God's eternal promises. He's moving—let's not miss it.

This generation has no shortage of knowledge and information about any disease, problem, topic, person, or interest.

As we dive more into what it means to live with a holy fear, there are two key aspects we need to discuss: tremble and awe. In this message, Nathan talks about the importance of trembling before the Lord, what that means, and gives several biblical examples of people throughout Scripture who trembled. If we are going to properly understand the fear of God, this concept is absolutely crucial to not only understand, but begin to prayerfully live out.

As we continue our prophetic word about entering the rest of the Lord, we add how the revelation of the fear of the Lord will lead you to enter the rest of the Lord.

If we are going to properly understand the "Fear of Lord," we must discuss the difference between different kinds of fear. In this message, Nathan talks about four kinds of fear, how one of them can be good, two are always bad, and one (the Fear of the Lord) is commanded. The profound reality is that of the two main fears of God, one causes you to run from God whereas the other draws you to Him.------------» Take these studies deeper and be discipled in person by Nathan, Eric, Leslie, and the team at Ellerslie in one of our upcoming discipleship programs – learn more at: https://ellerslie.com/be-discipled/» Receive our free “Five Keys to Walking Through Difficulty” PDF by going to: https://ellerslie.com/subscribe/» For more information about Daily Thunder and the ministry of Ellerslie Mission Society, please visit: https://ellerslie.com/daily» If you have been blessed by Ellerslie, consider partnering with the ministry by donating at: https://ellerslie.com/donate/» Discover more Christ-centered teaching and resources from Nathan Johnson that will help you grow spiritually by checking out his website at: https://deeperchristian.com/

As we begin our new series on the awful (awe-filled) fear of the Lord, we examine the “why” behind the series, our misunderstanding of the fear of God, and why it is so important for Christians to have a proper fear of the Lord in our lives. Nathan also gives a broad overview of the word “awful” and why he chose to include in the series title. In short, this session lays a foundation for the entire series and calls us all to take a step forward into the wonder of who our God is. ------------» Take these studies deeper and be discipled in person by Nathan, Eric, Leslie, and the team at Ellerslie in one of our upcoming discipleship programs – learn more at: https://ellerslie.com/be-discipled/» Receive our free “Five Keys to Walking Through Difficulty” PDF by going to: https://ellerslie.com/subscribe/» For more information about Daily Thunder and the ministry of Ellerslie Mission Society, please visit: https://ellerslie.com/daily» If you have been blessed by Ellerslie, consider partnering with the ministry by donating at: https://ellerslie.com/donate/» Discover more Christ-centered teaching and resources from Nathan Johnson that will help you grow spiritually by checking out his website at: https://deeperchristian.com/
