[The Awe & Fear of God 2026 E04] "Intimacy" by Apostle Russell Toohey

The greatest invitation in the Christian life is not ministry, influence, or blessing — it is intimacy with God. This message shows how holy fear is the starting place for genuine friendship with Him (Psalm 25:14). It warns against inventing a comfortable version of Jesus, examines the sobering words "I never knew you" (Matthew 7), and contrasts Abraham, God's friend, with Lot. Knowing about God is not the same as knowing Him. A challenge to pursue His presence over His blessings, and relationship over religion.
