"The Fear of God is the Beginning of Wisdom," is the title for this morning's sermon.  We will begin our lesson this morning by reviewing the union and power in the tri-union of wisdom, understanding and knowledge as it relates to building our relationship with our LORD.  We will turn our attention to how God defines wisdom.  This wisdom is the wisdom that comes from the LORD which is powerful in...

The longer I live the more I become convinced that those who do not fear the Lord nor obey God's will are targeted by the devil!  If Jesus, does not have first place in in our heart, mind, and soul and we do not yield ourselves to the authority of His word then we will fall for Satan's counterfeit perversions of the truth!  Our knowledge and wisdom must reflect the truth, the substantive reality o...

This morning we return in earnest to the study of the fear of the LORD.  Proverbs 1:7 reads, "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction."  We will begin by examining this truth statement that the fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge.  Real knowledge of anything must be based on truth.  Truth is the substantive reality of the thing we desire...

This morning we begin once again to address this year's theme, "The Power of the Fear of God."   I want to begin on this Father's Day Sunday by changing our perspective about the fear of our heavenly Father.  The Scriptures teach He is our Dad and we can and should call Him, "Daddy!"  He loves us more than we love ourselves.  Psalm 84 and verse eleven tells us that, "No good thing does He withhold...

The title of my lesson this morning is “Beating the Fear of an Economic Collapse!” The question for the Christian is how do we do this without going crazy weird. There are many important things to understand from the Scripture that will help us to faithfully and thoughtfully respond to future economic challenges. The alternative is to wait and do nothing and then react with unreasoning panic and s...

As Christians in the United States we have not been persecuted as in other nations and have suffered little. As we broaden our horizon and have a more international perspective we realize this is not the norm for so many countries around the world. Realizing the blessing we have enjoyed in the past, now we must be ever vigilant and committed to do our part, how ever small or large, in strengthenin...

This morning we will examine how to conquer the fear of man!  I have found that this fear plagues so many of us whether it is the fear of what others might be thinking of us or a fear of physical harm that might be inflicted by others.  As other fears this is real and debilitating.  Let us discover from the Scriptures that overcoming this fear comes through genuine and real faith and trust in the...

In our quest to answer the question how can a Christian conquer the fear of death we discovered as Christians we need to serve the LORD responsibly in duty and devotion.  We also learned last week that to believe and trust in Christ Jesus as the one and only Sovereign who knows every thought, every word,and every day of our lives, also knows the day of our passing.  As the Psalmist has said, "Prec...

In the last sermon about Conquering the Fear the Death- Through Duty and Devotion we found that the man or woman who is completely yielded to God's will and committed to serving Him from both duty and devotion, will stand their ground and live for Him until their last breath. This morning I want to dig deeper and look to the understanding of God being our only Sovereign and trusting Him with every...

We continue our study of Conquering the Fear of Death.  This morning we will discover that fear is real, it is debilitating, and it is immobilizing if you don't know how to conquer it.  Some outside of Christ have conquered fear but sadly not the eternal consequences.  We will discover how some  mortal, carnal men have accomplished in overcoming their fear of death.  More importantly we will look...

This simple sentence describes the culmination of the LORD's awesome plan to set millions of people free from the fear of death and secure their souls in heaven with Him! This morning we will begin a mini series titled, "Conquering the Fear of Death!" We will examine the resurrection of Christ from past, present, and future perspectives. We will travel back to that first day of the week when Jesus...

The denominational world calls this LORD's Day, Palm Sunday.  The LORD calls it a day of remembrance and decision!  Today, will you Choose or Refuse the call of wisdom and the fear of the LORD?  The Scriptures are clear and concise, choosing wisdom and to fear the LORD will result in enduring wealth, honor, and Life, but to refuse the call of wisdom and the fear of the LORD will result in distress...

In remembering and meditating on the words of the Apostle Paul, "I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things and count them but rubbish so that I that I may gain Christ..." we ought to be moved to humbly worship and serve Jesus Christ the blessed and only Sovereign! To Fear the Lord in reverence is t...

I consistently marvel during my meditative reading of the Scriptures each day.  In continuing to dig deeper into the meaning and life application of the concept of "The Fear of the LORD" I am finding a consistent call to humility and yielding my life and my will to the LORD's will as revealed in the the Scriptures.  The rich blessings and rewards for those who will humble themselves and fear the L...

This morning I will set forth the end goal of this year's annual theme, "The 6th Law of Momentum-The Power of Fear!" I would like to begin with an earthly father's perspective and heart's desire for his children and then elevate our thoughts to our heavenly Father. Second, I hope to establish the first step in the goal of our instruction this year to be embracing and embodying a faith that is work...

This morning we will finish the sermon is titled “The Fear of the LORD is the Beginning of Knowledge and Wisdom”  We are examining the Scripture from Proverbs 1:7 and 9:10.  Last week we discovered that the starting point for all real truth, knowledge, and wisdom is the reverential fear of the LORD, the only true Sovereign, omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent!   So, this week we will quickly revie...
