Proverbs: Fear of the Lord by Pastor Nick Everett

What if the key to true wisdom, right living, and a deeper relationship with God begins with something many people misunderstand—the fear of the Lord? When people hear the phrase "fear of the Lord," they often think of being afraid of God. But Proverbs teaches that the fear of the Lord is the foundation of wisdom, knowledge, and a life that honors Him. In this message, we'll discover what it means to fear God rightly—not with terror, but with reverence, awe, and humble submission. As we explore Proverbs 1:7 and other key passages, we'll see how the fear of the Lord shapes our decisions, guards us from sin, and draws us closer to the God who is both holy and loving. At New Promise Church you will see people of all ages, from a variety of backgrounds, and at different stages of their spiritual journey. We desire to draw closer to Jesus by understanding who He is and what He has done for us.
