Fear of the Lord
from The River Audio Podcast with Pastor Jack Holt · host The River
In today's message, Pastor Jack explores the profound importance of the fear of the Lord, explaining it not as a spirit of terror but as a deep reverence and honor for God and His Word. He teaches us that this holy fear keeps us on track, protects us from unnecessary harm, and releases the highest level of blessing in our lives. Pastor Jack contrasts this with the destructive fears from the enemy, assuring us that while believers are secure from eternal punishment, we must still reverence God’s authority—choosing to obey Him because the cost of disobedience is far greater than any temporary hardship obedience may bring. He encourages us to see ourselves as new creations in Christ, seated in heavenly places, and to live from that righteous identity, trusting that God always looks at our hearts as we learn to value His Word above our own plans and feelings.Tune in now!Join us for service every Sunday at 9 and 11am (PST) and Wednesday at 7pm (PST)If you received Christ through this message, text JESUS to (253) 859-0832We would love to hear how God is touching your life through this ministry!
