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 (March 30, April 6 and 13) at 6:30pm (EST).

Christians affirm that Jesus rose from the dead. The Gospels recount the event. But some critics–and even some believers–stumble over the seeming incompatability of the reports of the events on that first Easter morning.

This one evening class will puruse an honest reading of the records of that resurrection morning from the Gospels and ask a simple question: Can we honestly say that they agree?

This online class, meeting Tuesday evening, April 11, at 6:30pm (EST), will be part reading lab, part “detective work,” and part exploration of the critical nature of the resurrection for Christian faith.

Those who register for this free class will be sent a printable handout and a link for the Zoom class.
