What is the “fear of God”? What does it mean? How should it shape our thought?

The concept of the fear of God is mentioned in the first book of the Bible and the last book of the Bible. And when we begin to notice it, we will find it woven throughout the Scirptures. But we don’t often discuss it, pursue it, or even think much about the fear of the Lord.

Over three consecutive Thursday evenings, we will step into both Old Testament and New Tesatment passages to explore the idea of the fear of God–and we will discover how very important this dimension of life with God truly is.

The class will meet online (June 1, 8, and 15) at 6:30pm (EST).

After you have registered, you will be sent details about signing in for this online class.

An attendee at a previous intensive in Romans 1-5 explained: “We were plunging into the deep truths of the Gospel and we were challenged to think clearly and fully about all that Jesus did for us on the cross. Words matter–words like righteousness, justification, redemption, atonement, propitiation. Upon these hang all that makes our calling and election sure in Christ.”

This class will take a deep dive into a portion of Scripture that requires something more than a Sunday morning message to unpack. This intensive, Gospel Essentials, is a three-evening exploration of Romans 1 through 5. In the first five chapters of this letter Paul explains his understanding of the foundation for our life in Christ Jesus. Our evenings will be caught up in thinking Paul’s thoughts (and the Spirit’s inspired words!) after him.

The class will be held online on three consecutive Tuesday evenings, June 6, 13, 20. We’ll begin at 6:30 pm (EST) and run until . . . . the questions are answered!

If you long to deepen your understanding of the greatness of the Gospel and the kindness of God toward us in Jesus, join us for these evenings in Romans.
