What Does Fear Of The Lord REALLY Mean? | Josh Bundy | Covenant Church Doylestown Live

What does it really mean to “fear the Lord”? In this message from Pastor Joshua Bundy at Covenant Church, we explore Proverbs 1:7 and a biblical definition of “the fear of the Lord” that’s far richer than just being afraid. Is it terror? Respect? Awe? Reverence? The answer is yes—and more. Pastor Josh shows how the fear of the Lord is not simply an emotion, but a transformative character trait that impacts our internal world—our emotions, thoughts, desires, affections, and conscience. Drawing from both Old and New Testaments—including the story of Saul’s conversion and Psalm 139—he explains how fearing the Lord can move us from trembling to peace, from guilt to growth. Whether you’re skeptical of the phrase or hungry for a deeper understanding of God's holiness and presence, this sermon will challenge and encourage you. Stick around to the end for a beautiful picture of Jesus in Revelation—and how awe can shape our hearts through worship. __________ If you're new let us know & visit https://www.covenantdoylestown.org to learn more about us and how you can get connected.
