Taking God Seriously | In The Room Podcast #37

In this episode of the In the Room podcast we continue with Pastor Troy’s sermon on the fear of the Lord, beginning with a service clip illustrating how God “chisels away” what doesn’t belong to reveal His beauty in us. Reed explains that fearing the Lord is not being terrified of God but living with reverence, honor, awe, and humility, contrasting this with a culture of self-exaltation. Naomi shares how respect for godly authority invites correction and growth, while Jonah describes a reverent fear rooted in God’s unconditional love and the recognition that God’s ways oppose worldly culture. The conversation covers salvation as a gift of grace and “working it out” by cooperating with the Holy Spirit through daily obedience, small steps of faith, and practicing the fruits of the Spirit.
