The Fear of God

SERMON THEME   

Pastor Richard brings us an awesome message about the fear of the Lord, starting with a dramatic reading of Exodus 19. We all have fears, but there is one fear that conquers all other fears. The Fear of the Lord. As we walk in the fear of the Lord, there are characteristics that become evident in our lives.
