Growing in the Fear of God

ABOUT THIS MESSAGE: Identifying how one grows in the fear of God is of utmost importance, but unfortunately, many people emphasize the wrong things as markers for growth. By focusing on external behaviors rather than the state of the heart, a person will never experience the true fear of God. In this lesson, Dr. Reeves explains how the fear of God is not a set of behaviors but is a matter of the heart. He then shows how Scripture shapes one’s heart and leads a person into the fear of God.

ABOUT THE SERIES: The paradox of the gospel is that it frees us from our fears yet leads us to fear. We rejoice in this because the gospel helps us see God rightly. We can at once tremble before Him in all His holiness yet trust Him to deal with all our sins and misplaced fears. In this teaching series, Dr. Michael Reeves cuts through the confusion about the fear of the Lord so that we might grow in the knowledge and wisdom of God that is promised to all those who fear Him.
