The Fear of the Lord

The Fear of the Lord

The fear of the Lord is an abundant fountain of life that protects you from the snares of death. In this message from Proverbs 14, Pastor Seth Singleton reveals what true fear of God means—reckoning with God's reality in every moment of life—and identifies four deadly snares it helps us escape: autonomy (trusting yourself instead of God's authority), secrecy (forgetting God sees everything), manipulation (trying to control God), and unbelief (refusing to trust his promises). When you fear the Lord, you live before his face, confess your sins, obey humbly, and believe in Christ for salvation.

What Should We Think About Dreams?

God uses dreams for a purpose far greater than your own future. In this message from Genesis 41, Pastor Spencer Harmon reveals three ways God uses dreams in Scripture: God uses dreams to reveal his purposes—Joseph interprets Pharaoh's dream as divine revelation, not human expertise; God uses dreams to protect his people—every dream in Genesis protects the line of promise leading to Jesus; and God uses dreams to advance his salvation story toward Christ. But here's the crucial truth: after Jesus's resurrection, there are no more recorded dreams in Scripture. Why? Because God now communicates through his Son in the pages of Scripture, giving you clearer and more vivid revelation than any dream. Your calling isn't to seek mysterious dreams but to grow in knowledge of Jesus Christ, who is the ultimate fulfillment of all God's promises.

The Day of Small Things

When life feels small and stuck, what do you do? In this message from Genesis 40, Pastor Spencer Harmon reveals three ways Joseph responds to 11 years of imprisonment: Don't be a victim, but be faithful—you're not responsible for uncontrollable situations, but you are accountable for your response; Don't be selfish, but serve—Joseph notices others' troubles, speaks faith publicly, and tells hard truths without manipulation; and Don't despair, but hope—even when the cup bearer forgets Joseph after his interpretation, Joseph waits two more years trusting God. Jesus pioneered this path through suffering, showing that these small, forgotten seasons aren't waiting for life to start—this is the path to glory. Whether in a dead-end job, chronic illness, or the obscure years of parenting, God is refining you and using you as a conduit of his grace.

When God Is Your Audience

You live differently when you know someone is watching. In this message from Genesis 39, Pastor Spencer Harmon shows how Joseph's life is transformed by living before God's audience. Three impacts emerge: grounding your success in stewardship rather than pride; unmasking temptation by showing sin as rebellion against God; and redefining hardship by revealing God as both the audience and the director of your life. For believers in Christ, union with Jesus means the Spirit dwells in you forever—you're never alone in temptation or suffering. What would change in your life if you truly lived before God as your audience?

What To Do With Secret Sin

Secret sin destroys you, but Jesus offers redemption. In this message from Genesis 38, Pastor Spencer Harmon reveals three ways to deal with secret sin through Judah's story: consider your trajectory because sin moves you downward in an unstoppable direction; recognize your hypocrisy because secret sin causes you to judge others for sins you're hiding; and prioritize your integrity by bringing sin into the light and repenting. When Judah confesses, "She is more righteous than I am," his repentance leads to Perez, who enters the lineage of King David and Jesus Christ. Jesus came to forgive all secret sins brought into the light through repentance and faith.
