Treasuring the Fear of God - Francis Chan
The sermon emphasizes that the fear of the Lord is a precious treasure and a source of confidence, refuge, and life for believers. Drawing from Isaiah 33 and Proverbs, it challenges the misconception that reverence belongs only to the Old Testament, asserting that God remains a consuming fire worthy of awe. The preacher urges the congregation to approach worship with holy reverence, avoiding bitterness and sexual immorality while striving for peace and holiness. By contrasting the terrifying presence at Mount Sinai with the accessible grace of Mount Zion, the message highlights the privilege of joining angels in heavenly worship. Ultimately, believers are called to offer acceptable worship characterized by deep respect and gratitude for the unshakable kingdom they have received.
