“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom…”

August 13, 2023 • Pastor Seth Amerine

This week we continue our study of the Fear of the Lord in scripture with a consideration of Proverbs 9:10 which tells us that "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom..." Take some time and prayerfully consider what the difference is between knowledge and wisdom. How is the fear of the Lord the beginning of wisdom? Read Job 28:28, Proverbs 3:7; 15:33, and 1 Corinthians 3:19 for further understanding.

“In the fear of the Lord one has strong confidence…”

We are concluding our study of the fear of God this Sunday with a look at Proverbs 14:26 which says, "In the fear of the Lord one has strong confidence..." Where do you draw your confidence from? How can the fear of the Lord give a person "strong confidence"? Consider the question posed to Job in Job 4:6, "Is not the fear of the Lord your confidence?"

"The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life."

This Sunday we will be examining Proverbs 14:27's claim that "The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life..." As you consider this passage - what gives you life? what drains your life? How is a healthy fear of the Lord a fountain of life for us?

“The fear of the Lord is hatred of evil.”

August 20, 2023 • Pastor Seth Amerine

This week we continue our examination of the fear of the Lord with a look at Proverbs 8:13, "The fear of the Lord is hatred of evil." When you think of evil, what do you think of? What evil do you find in your life? How does the fear of the Lord produce "hatred" for evil (not people but evil itself)? Read Proverbs 3:7 and Proverbs 16:6.
