Have you ever felt spiritually disconnected from God? In this message from Tell Me More About…, Pastor Aaron Pennington teaches on the fear of the Lord and why it matters for every follower of Jesus.The fear of the Lord is not about being scared of God. It is about living with deep honor, reverence, awe, and love for Him, where we fear being far from Him more than anything else. Through Scripture, Pastor Aaron shows how a healthy fear of the Lord leads us toward wisdom, holiness, repentance, surrender, and a deeper awareness of God's presence.Scripture References:James 4:8James 4:5-8Psalm 139:17-18Proverbs 9:10Hebrews 1:1-3Romans 2:4Matthew 11:282 Corinthians 7:1Hebrews 12:28-29Psalm 25:11-14
In this message, Pastor Chris Rieber begins a three part series looking at the concept of The Fear of the Lord. Scripture speaks much about this alongside the understanding of God as a loving, compassionate, merciful Father. How do we reckon the two natures of God together? In this first sermon from Psalm 34, Pastor Chris explores how understanding the awesome holiness, power and perfection of God puts us in a better place to revere Him for His love and grace.

What if the secret to living holy is not trying harder—but trusting God more? Many sincerely desire change, yet become discouraged trying to overcome sin and weakness through human effort alone. In Episode 15 of The Fear of the Lord, Duane Sheriff explains that holiness is not achieved through willpower, religious performance, or striving in the flesh. True transformation happens as we behold the glory of God and trust the power of the Holy Spirit to change us from the inside out.Holiness is not about pretending to be perfect or earning God's acceptance—it is the supernatural work of God's Spirit producing His nature and character within us. Like a metamorphosis, believers are progressively transformed from glory to glory as they keep their eyes fixed on Jesus through Scripture. The liberty the Holy Spirit brings is not freedom to sin, but freedom to become who God created us to be. When we transition from trying in our own strength to trusting in God's grace, we discover the sustainable path to holiness that religious effort can never produce.This episode offers practical wisdom for overcoming discouragement, breaking free from condemnation, and learning to live holy by faith rather than fear, striving, or self-effort.Click for FREE offer ➡️https://pastorduane.com/landing/the-fear-of-the-lord

What if the key to true wisdom, right living, and a deeper relationship with God begins with something many people misunderstand—the fear of the Lord?When people hear the phrase "fear of the Lord," they often think of being afraid of God. But Proverbs teaches that the fear of the Lord is the foundation of wisdom, knowledge, and a life that honors Him. In this message, we'll discover what it means to fear God rightly—not with terror, but with reverence, awe, and humble submission. As we explore Proverbs 1:7 and other key passages, we'll see how the fear of the Lord shapes our decisions, guards us from sin, and draws us closer to the God who is both holy and loving.At New Promise Church you will see people of all ages, from a variety of backgrounds, and at different stages of their spiritual journey. We desire to draw closer to Jesus by understanding who He is and what He has done for us.

Holiness is not about rules and performance, but about wisdom, love, and protecting your heart from deception. In Episode 14 of "The Fear of the Lord," Duane Sheriff teaches that true holiness flows from understanding God's nature and recognizing the deadly and deceptive consequences of sin. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and that wisdom helps believers discern how sin slowly hardens the heart, dulls spiritual sensitivity, and pulls people away from God.Holiness is not about earning God's love or acceptance through religious performance. Through faith in Jesus Christ, believers have already been made righteous and holy before God. Yet wisdom teaches us that sin still damages lives, harms relationships, hinders our witness, and opens the door for Satan to steal, kill, and destroy. As hearts become hardened through the deceitfulness of sin, people lose sensitivity to God's voice and become blind to the consequences of their actions.This episode reveals how the fear of the Lord produces wisdom that guards the heart, keeps believers spiritually sensitive, and empowers them to walk in holiness out of love for God and others.Click for FREE offer ➡️https://pastorduane.com/landing/the-fear-of-the-lord

How holy is God—and why does holiness matter? Many people misunderstand holiness or pursue it for the wrong reasons, trying to earn God's love, blessings, or acceptance through their own performance. In Episode 13 of "The Fear of the Lord," Duane Sheriff distinguishes between cultural and man-made definitions of holiness and the true holiness of God revealed in Scripture. Because holiness is God's nature, and because believers have been made righteous and holy through faith in Jesus Christ, we are now called to live lives that reflect His character.This message dismantles performance-based Christianity and replaces it with something far more powerful: a relationship rooted in grace, love, and transformation. Duane explains that we live holy not to gain God's favor, but because God is holy, because we are holy in Him, and because we genuinely love God and people. When we understand that sin not only offends God but also harms ourselves and others, holiness becomes an expression of love rather than a religious duty. This perspective transforms Christian living from obligation into heartfelt devotion.Click for FREE offer ➡️https://pastorduane.com/landing/the-fear-of-the-lord
Evening Bible teaching by Evan Denison on the 7th June 2026. TEACHING NOTES: What is the FEAR of the Lord? - Proverbs 1:7 - Genesis 39:9 - Deeper than terror, deeper than reverence: VALUE. What is the JOY of the Lord? - Nehemiah 8:8-10 - Galatians 3:19 - More than just happiness; it becomes our STRENGTH. What do both look like TOGETHER? - 1 John 4:18 - Thanks to Jesus, we can fear God without being AFRAID. We may truly REJOICE.
How holy is God? Scripture describes Him as a consuming fire—so pure, righteous, and glorious that no sinful person could stand in His presence apart from His mercy and grace. In Episode 12 of "The Fear of the Lord," Duane Sheriff teaches that understanding God's holiness is essential to understanding both the fear of the Lord and the greatness of salvation through Jesus by distinguishing between tormenting fear (being afraid of God) and godly fear (reverence and worship of God).Through faith in Jesus, we are transformed from children of darkness to children of light and are clothed in Christ's righteousness, enabling us to stand in God's holy presence, not with terror but with confidence. Drawing from Hebrews, Thessalonians, Daniel, and other Scriptures, Duane explains how the same holy fire that brings judgment to unbelief becomes cleansing, refining, and refreshing to those who trust in Christ. The account of the three Hebrew children in the fiery furnace is an example of how God's presence burns away bondage while preserving His people.Discover what true holiness really means—not an outward religious performance or cultural standard, but a Christ-like character formed within us through the transforming grace of God.Click for FREE offer ➡️https://pastorduane.com/landing/the-fear-of-the-lord
What happens when sinful humanity encounters a God who is perfectly holy, pure, and described in Scripture as a consuming fire? Who can stand before such awesome holiness? God's holiness is not merely a theological concept, but a reality that demands reverence. In Episode 11 of "The Fear of the Lord," Duane Sheriff teaches that we can only stand in God's presence by grace through faith in the atoning work of Jesus Christ.For those who accept God's mercy, this same consuming fire becomes refreshing rather than tormenting. The Bible's imagery of the three Hebrew children thrown into the fiery furnace illustrates how God's fire burns away bondage while preserving those who trust in Him.This message also addresses sobering biblical truths about judgment, hell, salvation, and the wrath from which Jesus came to save us. Hell was never created for humanity, but God lovingly made a way through Christ so that no one would perish. Through repentance and faith in Jesus, we can receive eternal life and stand confidently in God's presence.

What happens when a culture no longer fears God or recognizes the destructive power of evil? In Episode 10 of "The Fear of the Lord," Duane Sheriff teaches that one of the clearest biblical definitions of the fear of the Lord is “to depart from evil.” True godly fear is not hatred toward people, but a holy reverence for God that causes us to hate what destroys lives and turn away from sin.Drawing from Proverbs, Psalms, Job, Ephesians, and other Scriptures, Duane reveals how the fear of the Lord produces wisdom, understanding, righteous discernment, and a growing awareness of sin's destructive consequences. Pride, compromise, and the celebration of evil are evidence of a culture losing its fear of God, while those who fear the Lord are drawn away from evil and toward God Himself.We may not be able to simply walk away from evil in our own strength, but we can depart from evil by walking toward God. As we draw near to Him, His light pulls us out of darkness and transforms our hearts. This message also addresses righteous anger, spiritual compromise, and how sin hardens the heart and gives the enemy a foothold.Click for FREE offer ➡️https://pastorduane.com/landing/the-fear-of-the-lord
What does it really mean to fear God in a culture that demands tolerance for virtually everything? Are Christians ever called to hate—and if so, what? In Episode 9 of The Fear of the Lord, Duane Sheriff explains that Scripture clearly teaches there are things God hates, and that a proper fear of the Lord requires us to hate what He hates and love what He loves.Drawing from Proverbs, Psalms, and Romans, Duane teaches that the fear of the Lord is “to hate evil”—not people. He explains how modern culture's mantra of tolerance creates a deceptive progression from compromise to acceptance, then celebration, and ultimately the legislation of evil. The life and ministry of Jesus reveal that Christ was full of love and mercy toward sinners, yet never tolerated or excused sin. Jesus forgave, healed, and restored, while also commanding, “Go and sin no more.”This message brings clarity to the confusion between biblical love and cultural “love.” True love does not celebrate iniquity. Today's “love is love” is a counterfeit of the truth that “God is love.” Deepen your understanding of the fear of the Lord as a reverent hatred of evil that protects, purifies, and aligns our hearts with God's in an age of moral confusion.Click for FREE offer ➡️https://pastorduane.com/landing/the-fear-of-the-lord

What happens when you truly encounter the holiness, majesty, and awesomeness of God? In Episode 8 of "The Fear of the Lord," Duane Sheriff teaches that fearing the Lord is not a tormenting fear that drives us away from God, but a holy awe and reverence that draws us deeper into His presence.In the book of Isaiah, the prophet sees God high and lifted up, filling the temple with His glory. In that moment of overwhelming holiness, Isaiah doesn't run away in terror. He experiences purging and cleansing when a seraphim touches his lips with a coal from the altar, and his iniquity is taken away. This is the fear of the Lord in action—it reveals our unholiness not to condemn us, but to cleanse us. We cannot see how unholy we are until we see how holy He is.Many believers misunderstand the fear of God, associating it with condemnation and rejection rather than with grace and relationship. When we truly see God's holiness, we will also recognize our need for His mercy and cleansing. The fear of the Lord causes us to depart from evil—not through legalism or self-effort, but by being drawn into the beauty of God's holiness, goodness, and love.Click for FREE offer ➡️https://pastorduane.com/landing/the-fear-of-the-lord
Why do some people grow closer to God through hardship while others pull away from Him? In Episode 7 of "The Fear of the Lord," Duane Sheriff defines what the fear of the Lord truly means—and why it cannot be reduced to a mere concept or religious formula. The fear of the Lord is not a tormenting fear of punishment or rejection, but a holy reverence, awe, honor, and worship that flows from a genuine revelation of who God is.Godly fear comes through genuine encounters with God. Using examples from the lives of Jesus, Job, and Moses, along with practical illustrations from everyday life, Duane explains how the fear of the Lord produces righteous judgment, obedience, humility, worship, and intimacy with God. Jesus delighted in the fear of the Lord, and Job's response in the middle of devastating loss reveals the depth of reverence and trust that godly fear produces. When we truly see who God is, worship becomes our natural response.This episode will help you better understand the benefits of the fear of the Lord, how it transforms your relationship with God, anchors your faith during trials, and leads to deeper spiritual wisdom and maturity.Click for FREE offer ➡️https://pastorduane.com/landing/the-fear-of-the-lord
What fear is keeping you from fully trusting God? In Episode 6 of "The Fear of the Lord," Duane Sheriff exposes four major fears that paralyze believers: the fear of faces (people and peer pressure), the fear of fences (obstacles, hardships, and persecution), the fear of foes (spiritual warfare and demonic opposition), and the fear of failure (past mistakes and future uncertainties). Each of these fears represents a different battlefield where Satan attempts to accomplish his ultimate goal—separating us from the love of God and questioning whether God truly loves us.God's love, fully proven through the cross of Jesus Christ, is the foundation for overcoming every tormenting fear. Every trial, affliction, and persecution is not testing God's love for us, but revealing and strengthening our love and faithfulness toward Him. Using biblical examples like David, Moses, Paul, and Timothy, Duane explains how fear of rejection, hardship, spiritual opposition, and personal failure can keep believers from fulfilling God's purpose. This message will encourage you to trust God completely, stand firm in spiritual battles, and discover the freedom that comes from fearing God above everything else.Click for FREE offer ➡️https://pastorduane.com/landing/the-fear-of-the-lord
In this episode of The Man of God Podcast, Casey Wilson, Travis Shook, and Justin Bohner walk through Psalm 112 and discuss what it means for a man to fear the Lord.The fear of the Lord is not anxiety or distance from God. It is reverence, humility, obedience, and love rightly ordered before the Father. From that place, God forms men who are steady, generous, courageous, and faithful.This conversation explores the blessings of a godly life, the danger of chasing blessings instead of God Himself, the role of fathers in teaching reverence to their children, and why the fear of God drives out the fear of man.The blessed man is not the man who merely gains wealth, success, or influence. The blessed man is the one whose heart is set on the Lord.

Fear is one of the enemy's greatest tools for silencing truth, trapping us in compromise, and hindering our spiritual growth. When we fear God more than people, everything changes.In Episode 5 of "The Fear of the Lord," Duane Sheriff teaches on the fear of man versus the fear of God, revealing how the fear of the Lord delivers us from the fear of rejection, intimidation, hardship, and failure. King Saul's story in 1 Samuel 15 explains how his fear of people led him to disobey God's direct command, costing him his kingdom. Saul admitted, 'I feared the people and obeyed their voice.' God's voice must always take precedence over human opinion. Following His voice leads to freedom, boldness, and unwavering faith. When we desire approval from others, we can end up compromising and disobeying God.By developing a healthy fear of the Lord, you will find that awe and reverence for His holiness naturally replace an unhealthy dependence on human validation. This message can help you overcome fear, stand strong in the truth, and develop a deeper reverence for God that empowers you to obey Him no matter what challenges you face.Click for FREE offer ➡️https://pastorduane.com/landing/the-fear-of-the-lord
When John walked with Jesus as one of the twelve, he loved the Lord deeply—but he hadn't yet seen the full glory of who Jesus is. In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef takes you to Revelation 1, where John encounters Christ glorified, magnified, and transfigured—and his response is not casual familiarity but holy awe: “When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead” (Revelation 1:17). Dr. Youssef challenges the modern tendency to treat Jesus like a buddy—speaking to Him with casualness that forgets His majesty. True awe isn't hype or exaggeration; it's the soul's trembling recognition of God's holiness. Yet this exalted, holy God also draws near to the contrite and lowly, extending grace that revives the humbled heart (Isaiah 57:15). This devotional will help you reframe worship, prayer, and everyday faith through a biblical lens: Jesus is not merely approachable—He is glorious. And when we see Him rightly, reverence grows, pride diminishes, and genuine worship takes root. Prayer: Father, You alone are awesome. The wonders of Your love are astounding. I cannot comprehend Your greatness. Help me to honor You as You deserve, and have mercy on me, Lord. Thank You for Your grace. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. “Jesus, . . . asked them, ‘Who is it you want?' ‘Jesus of Nazareth,' they replied. ‘I am he,' Jesus said. . . . When Jesus said, ‘I am he,' they drew back and fell to the ground” (John 18:4-6).

Fear has a way of silencing truth, compromising convictions, and keeping us trapped by intimidation. But what happens when the fear of God becomes greater than the fear of people?In Episode 4 of "The Fear of the Lord," Duane Sheriff reveals how God's perfect love delivers us from the tormenting fears that paralyze our faith journey and dominate our lives. Duane identifies four major fears that hinder believers: the fear of faces (people), fences (obstacles), foes (spiritual opposition), and failure. Through biblical examples in Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Joshua, he shows how the fear of man leads to compromise, while the fear of the Lord produces courage, obedience, and boldness to stand for truth.Duane also shares personal experiences from ministry, explaining how overcoming rejection and intimidation transformed his walk with God. This message cuts to the core of why we sometimes compromise truth, remain silent when we should speak, and cave to cultural pressure. The fear of man is a snare, but when we trust in the Lord and develop a healthy fear of Him, we find safety, courage, and the freedom to live boldly for Christ.This teaching encourages us to examine which fears control our lives, so we are no longer controlled by the opinions of others but instead find freedom by putting God first.Click for FREE offer ➡️https://pastorduane.com/landing/the-fear-of-the-lord

Submit a Question or CommentIn this verse-by-verse Bible study of Job 27:13–23 and Job 28:1–28, Reasoning Through the Bible explores two connected truths: wealth cannot protect the wicked forever, and true wisdom cannot be found or bought in the world. Job first describes how evil people may gather riches for a time, but in the end they leave everything behind and face the justice of God. The study then turns to one of the most beautiful chapters in the book of Job. Job 28 describes mankind digging deep into the earth for silver, gold, iron, and precious stones, then asks a far greater question: where can wisdom be found? The answer is not in wealth, not in education alone, and not in the world's systems. True wisdom comes from God. This session highlights the difference between knowledge and wisdom, explains why half-truth theology is still dangerous, and ends with one of the clearest biblical statements on the subject: “The fear of the Lord, that is wisdom.” This is a rich and practical episode for anyone seeking godly understanding in a world obsessed with money, status, and information. Topics in this episode include: Job 27 explained Job 28 explained wealth and the wicked why riches do not last half-truth theology where wisdom comes from God's wisdom in creation knowledge versus wisdom the fear of the Lord Reasoning Through the Bible is a verse-by-verse Bible teaching ministry committed to careful exposition, biblical context, and faithful application.Support the showThank you for listening!!

Why do so many believers still fear God's judgment if Jesus already bore our punishment on the cross? In Episode 3 of "The Fear of the Lord," Duane Sheriff reveals the difference between the unhealthy, tormenting fear of judgment and the healthy, reverential fear of God that draws us into intimacy with Him.Through the finished work of Jesus, we have been forgiven, made righteous, and given boldness before God instead of condemnation. Every sin we have committed—or ever will commit—was already condemned in the flesh of Jesus. This truth transforms our motivation for holy living. We serve God not out of fear of punishment, but out of genuine love for Him and others.Duane also shares how misunderstanding God's character kept him from developing a close relationship with the Lord for years—and how the Gospel brings freedom from fear-based religion. This message will help you better understand God's mercy, the power of the cross, and the true fear of the Lord that leads to holiness, peace, and a deeper intimacy with Him.Click for FREE offer ➡️https://pastorduane.com/landing/the-fear-of-the-lord

What does it really mean to fear God? The Bible speaks about fear in seemingly contradictory ways. For many believers, the fear of the Lord is one of the most misunderstood concepts in Scripture. The Bible says God has not given us a spirit of fear and that perfect love casts out fear. Yet throughout Scripture, we are also commanded to fear the Lord, and tremendous blessings are promised to those who do.In the new series, “The Fear of the Lord,” Duane Sheriff explains the distinction between the two types of fear found in Scripture: ungodly, tormenting fear that separates us from God, and the fear of the Lord—a wholesome, reverential fear that draws us into intimacy with Him. Understanding this distinction is critical to our spiritual lives. When we learn how God's love through the cross has removed every reason for tormenting fear, we can approach Him with confidence, knowing we are righteous in Christ. At the same time, a healthy reverence for God's holiness, power, and majesty keeps us from sin and draws us closer to Him.
