A Dreadful Fear of God

Jul 5, 2026    Rob Foster

ABOUT THE MESSAGE: People fascinate themselves with fear, and these fears often arise from the things they love. According to Scripture, there is a correct way to fear God and an incorrect way. A sinful way of fearing God drives people from Him rather than to Him. In this lesson, Dr. Reeves explains how sinful and wrong understandings of the fear of God arise from people’s misunderstandings 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.
