The Awe of God

Hey Westgate Family! Do you long for an intimate relationship with your Creator, but He seems elusive? Perhaps it is because something utterly essential is missing—holy fear. Don't let the word “fear” frighten you. Fearing God is very different than being afraid of God. It's the key to everything. The fear of the Lord is not a topic you'll hear much about these days. But, if you want to build a faith that stands strong through troubled times, you cannot afford to ignore how often the Bible speaks of it. In our new six-part series, kicking off on September 8th, we’ll be walking through “The Awe of God” book by John Bevere, and invite you to take a fresh look at what it means to work out your salvation with fear and trembling. This healthy, holy, and largely forgotten virtue is the path to a more fulfilled and fruitful life. Throughout this series, we’ll see why Godly fear is the foundation of: :: Wisdom, understanding, and knowledge :: Foresight, clarity, and divine direction :: Maturity and conformity to the image of Jesus Christ :: Building an eternal legacy :: Confidence, fearlessness, and security :: Freedom from the fear of man. We hope you’ll make plans to join us each Sunday, as well as in small group discussions throughout the week.
