The Awe of God
Jake Key & Martelley Graham
Tuesday - 6:30pm HopeFront Church
Group Description
Do you desire a closer relationship with God, but feel He’s distant? You may be missing something essential: the fear of the Lord. Not fear as in being scared, but a holy reverence that Scripture says is the key to wisdom, holiness, and spiritual depth.
In The Awe of God: The Astounding Way a Healthy Fear of God Transforms Your Life, John Bevere explores over forty biblical promises tied to holy fear—such as confidence, legacy, and security. Through this study, you’ll rediscover what it means to “work out your salvation with fear and trembling” and draw closer to the God who longs to know you deeply.
