The fear of God isn’t living afraid of him, it’s living in AWE of him.

Summary

The sermon focuses on the true meaning of the "fear of God," emphasizing it as a profound sense of awe and awareness of God's reality and opinion, rather than terror. Referencing Nehemiah, the message highlights living for an audience of one, with God's perspective being the only one that truly matters. The practical takeaway is that this awe enables leaders to resist external pressures, compromise, and intimidation by focusing solely on God's approval.
